First time outdoor grow, tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Starving for attention would be my guess
Nice plant

You're not saying that I'm starving for attention, are you? I definitely like to share, but I honestly want to know if there are any tips or things to look out for when managing large/outdoor plants. I'm going to prune out the inside and harvest early to avoid budrot. That said, there's always a damn near infinite amount more that can be done, what's necessary is debatable. I'm trying to get to the debate, the compliments are less important, but appreciated none the less.
 
They look great, like you said I think the only thing that could help is some defoliation. If you're concerned about bud rot then a good defoliation for some air flow will help you out.
You may want to have a support plan if you are getting large, heavy colas too.

Ya, I'm thinking about building a scrog setup for the Space Needle (shorter bushier) maybe just stake the Poison before they start flowering.

Opening up the interior is a good idea, harvesting early not so much. Sounds like you're planning to fail

Not drastically early, I mean more like with some clear trichs, not all white pistils. That and also just watch the weather and keep my finger on the pulse and be ready to harvest at least parts of the plants early. I'd prefer that to losing fatter buds to rot. It can get pretty rainy here in the fall, which is another thing I've been wondering about tbh.

You could always build a little frame structure that holds up a clear plastic on the rainy days, but you would still have to deal with the humidity.

Some things I would consider. Look over your plants carefully, every day if you can. Strip any leaves that look blighted in any way. Now would be a good time to do a neem oil/Dr Bronners emulsion foliar to prevent fungus and keep the moths from laying eggs. If you can get some air movement on them that can only help.

They look great, enjoy!
 
I’d be trimming them up to prepare for flowering! But that’s your choice.
For me, it makes harvest easier, pushes more energy to few but bigger buds.
I basically clean off the bottom 1/3 of every stem or branch. I’ll thin out branches too! 14ECCA04-F1A3-46C3-B198-C2E92542765C.jpeg

Fuck I love pics like this. Just out in the open and not a care in world just like they should be.
Can't do that where I come from!!
 
Spray them with potassium bicarbonate and castile soap. It will help protect against fungal infections. It can be tank mixed with silica and spinosad. It will help pests that way as well.
Definitely trellis them with something that can support the weight of bud heavy branches.
Good luck friend!
