While in veg, cannabis LOVES rain. If it doesn't rain hard enough to break branches, they should be fine.

Keep in mind I suggest a "couple inches". Too deep and the roots have a less attractive environment to grow into. If you're going deeper, lose the pot.

That question has thousands of right/good answers. What do you have access to? Eddy Lepp once told me the best all around strain is Super Silver Haze. I like it.

I always suggest the easiest way. Lugging those plants in and out every day can get tedious. Your way will work just fine.

Try this. Hang enough low wattage CFLs in your garden to get good coverage. Lengthen the day by having the CFLs come on 16 hours before sunset. Once the plants reach about 2/3s of an acceptable height, turn off the lights. This will push the plants into a short day. Time this so they will finish...

Get some 2" chicken wire. Lay it horizontally around you grow area, suspended tightly about 6" above the ground. 4 feet wide is best. Those animals can't easily jump over it. All those critters taste good to coyotes and other carnivores. They won't risk trying to cross the wire. I use something...

Shading the pots will help avoid root damage. A friend used to paint his pots 3/4s white. In the early spring he'd point the black 1/4 south. In summertime the center of the white would face south. LST is just bending branches to horizontal to increase the plant's footprint. The more area, the...

My greenhouses sometimes reach nearly 140 degrees. I run fans to keep dry outside air moving quickly through the foliage. The plants grow like hell. Cannabis has a long history of being grown by desert dwellers. Equatorial sativas and indicas from the middle east seem to enjoy a hot dry...

MMMMMMMMMMMMMM..cookies! I eat Brownies and "bambams"(fruity pebbles made like rice krispie treats with very potent cannabutter).

OK. I'll try to make a case for sinking the pot into the ground. If gives each plant access to the soil where water is available in case you miss a day of watering during extreme heat. Those pots won't be adequate in August for just one daily watering(How big? They look like 5 gallon pots?) Look...

Chemically induced male flowers on a female won't hermi. Silver Thiosulfate or Gibberilic acid will both do the trick. Yes, at five weeks it shouldn't be a problem. Even if a few flowers show up, it won't continue with an 18 hour day. Don't put your girls out before August 1st unless you want an...

I use several methods to slow down thieves. My next door neighbors grandidiots got into one of my greenhouses the year we built it. Got away with enough to trim out to five pounds. After viewing the evidence(dfead leaves in a path to their garage back door, which I could see from my yard,), I...

It IS simple. The hard part is segregating the males and females of different strains. Water kills pollen pretty quickly. In room temperature conditions, pollen dies within a couple weeks. Just put the boys and girls in separate 'dorms'. wet the boys daily to knock down and kill stray pollen...

Cheap, effective and easy. Baking soda, one teaspoon per quart. Apply every other day. Spray with clear water during the other days to wash off residue. Continue until eliminated(tough in a tent. Ventilation needs improving.) As mentioned above, it's all about pH. Commercial growers use sulfur...

Youi have the beginnings of a mite problem. Safer's soap will knock them down. Slow down. You'll KNOW when to harvest. Take care not to get liquid nutes on the leaves. Get a 30x jeweler's loupe to check Trichome color. All cloudy with a few amber trichomes is good. With experience you'll...

Hmmm... I sexed indoors in the 80s and 90s. Didn't like having my house always smelling like bud. Since I start my seeds in January, Everything is sexed and vegging by the middle of March, ready for transplanting in April. There are many ways to skin a cat. My methods work well for me. My big...

The burned leaves probably came from a slight overfertizing or an overly potent foliar feeding. NEVER put that much work into an unsexed plant. About six years ago, a plant fooled me by showing few pistils. I put it with all the other 'females'. About the first of August, it was the largest...

Nice looking plants! Did you move them outdoors from a long 'day' cycle? That might explain the one plant budding. Especially if it has an Indica background. I'd suggest moving the plants away from each other. More room to grow. If you want more yield, you can loosen the native soil in their new...

My method can be found in my 2010 grow thread. A long read, but it is there.

The stretching is due to too few hours of direct sunlight. Your plants appear to be in partial shade?
