this, once again, is why I suggest growing indoors..
why?
for a HUGE list of reasons.
Insects and bugs being the number one problem and reason why I grow indoors.
In a nutshell, the reason why I'm such an advocate for indoor growing.. is simply because I like to have complete control over the plants environment.. this way.. the bugs and other predators don't even have/get the chance to eat my babies. Plus, you can flower indoor plants whenever you feel like it.. therefore you can control the plants height.. and control yields.
You probably can get better yields, using the natural sun as light... but.. the pro's of indoor growing FAR outweigh the pro's and con's of outdoor growing. Period.
anyhow, good luck man. I can't even see the plant.. oh.. wait.. there it is. heh.
good luck my friend.. from what I see in the pics, your babies are going to need all the luck that they can get.
GO INDOORS! (if possible).
peace.
