Will someone please take a log off the fire!!! The temps are really cranking up this week. Its been near 100f for the past couple days now, and the plants are drinking over 100 gallons of water a week, which I have to hand feed to the plants. That will go up to over 200 gallons a week when the young ones get bigger, and most are in 2 gallon pots right now.
I had to send many into flower cuz if I was to veg any longer, then I would have to go to much larger pots to finish. Just to many plants working right now to think about moving that many large pots everyday.
The plants are sucking up as much nutes as I can give them, and I think they want more in these temperatures.
Here are a few of the Sour Bubble testers that were sent into flower.

Yo Careree they r nice & must enjoy the sun/
Look ready for flower too, nice & BIG.
I take it they won't stretch much on you.
good luck. 100 degrees per day is HOT.
We barely have summer in Rhode island.

Hi ogd;
Stretch will not be an issue with Sour Bubble. Maybe 1-1.5 ft if lucky. The early stretch has stopped, and they look as normal right now, but very dense on the top foot of the plant. I think the sun will make for very dense flowering.
Temps from now on will be well over 90f from now through Sept, and I expect about 2-3 weeks of 100f + in the upcoming months. We have already had 111 consecutive days without rain, but we get alot of humidity coming up from Mexico (The Monsoon's). They cut the temp down slightly, but make the air saturated like the Southeast.
Lots of challenges ahead.

Sour Bubble is one tough bitch

Care Free 1....you have some of the finest and healthiest looking SB plants
that I've seen here in ICMAG. Whatever you're doing to them, keep doing it cause yours are always look dank..... mucho
One mark of a good strain is how much light it will tolerate, and SB ranks right up there with the best of them. Weaker strains would shrivel up and die from direct sunlight and heat like that. Healthy SB will shrug it off - just another day @ the office - and start producing more resin to protect itself......

Thanks so much Rocky.
This is my first outdoor grow with Sour Bubble. I've been running indoors with these plants for about 6 years now, so this is a little different. They probably should go to 15 gallon pots in these conditions, and I still might do it, but it would have to be this week before flower kicks in. This is week 1 of 12/12.
Even though I have many good looking plants right now, I still dont think these are not quite ready for primetime yet, since this is the first incross. I am waiting to see the sex of the good ones right now, and I will pollenate the keepers. I have a good sampling, so I trust the next generation will be the ones I am really after.
No doubt Sour Bubble is a very strong growing plant.
Notes on these for outdoors;
They run about 2 weeks faster than indoors.
Watering daily instead of every 2-3 days indoors.
Feeding nutrients twice as often as indoors.
Ladybugs kick ass on spider mites. They are ravenous mite eating machines. I am mite free outdoors.
Fungus gnats have a real hard time outdoors.
The black pots get quite hot, but I have seen no effect on the plants.
Keep the area around the pots wet to raise the humidity levels. Bone dry in my area.

Are you in SAm, CF1?
Hi hoosier;
Not really sure what you mean by in SAm. Can you clarify? I could guess but I'm not sure.
Tomorrow I will up pot many of the 2 gallon Sour Bub's to 5 gallon. They out grew those 2 gal pots fast in these conditions. I'll have some new picks tomorrow.
The Grapevine Sour Bub BX4 Mother A plants are starting to germ, so I'll have them in soil tonight.
My Geisha plant was starting to get frosty in the sunlight, so I was supprised to find out it was a male today. Darn, I'll have some Geisha pollen to hit up some plants with. One confirmed Sour Bubble female today also.
SAm (south america) is the only place I know that has 12/12 this week.
Hi hoosier;
I live in SoCal USA, but the plants are moved inside and out everyday with carts. The veg plants get 12 hours of direct sunlight, then are moved into the barn for 6 hours under the MH lamp, and 6 hours of darkness.
The flowering plants get moved into the flower room after their day in the sun for 12 hours darkness.
It's alot of work, believe me!!! But on the bright side, I would have to use 3 1kw lamps to run the plants I am doing now, along with fans, and air conditioning indoors. The expense to run inside during summer is insane here in SoCal.
The cost savings justifies the extra work. I'm saving $1000's. So I run 1 MH lamp for 6 hours a day for over 60 plants total right now when it's cool at night, with more in germination.

CF1 those SB's look fantastic.. I cracked 3 SB bx4's and all 3 phenos look very very similar... 3 females too.. I will be cloning in next week to run it once other gear is off my tables...
Since this summer run is for testing of the first incrosses, and to create a new generation of seeds from the keepers, not all the plants will make the grade, and I dont know if all will be around for the end. But I expect that most will. I dont mind trimming so much as I hate mixing soil and transplanting. Talk about boring labor, so you need some good upbeat music to get through it.

Good luck with those BX4's, and feel free to post them up here if you like. I would love to see them!!!
I just checked a minute ago and I have 3 females and 1 male from the keepers so far, so there will be a next generation, and I expect good stuff from these.
Care Free it's worth it just to get the full spectrum sunlight on the plants ;
the cash saved is a bonus. Can't match the sun for power.......

I took down the first of 4 SBBX4's last week, and have had a few bowls of the buds.
Can't keep my nose out of the jars. Sweet candy funk.
Strong pot.
Got another coming down tonight in about Tminus 0040 min.
I will get some shots before the stems pop off.

Oh baby, that looks tasty!!!! Great job.
Sour Bubble does have great jar appeal, and I know what you mean hoosier. They are like candy to me also. I'd love to see more if you get a chance.
I have a feeling the females I have now will be very good also, but it will be interesting to see if they color up outdoors.

Looks like the sun will cause these to dense pack, so I better watch the humidity levels at night.
Bubba Kush on the left, my Sour Bubble incross in the middle, and Grindhouse Sour Bubble on the right. They are all about the same age.
My incross is very well developed at this stage. Looks like another keeper.

yah CF , real nice growth there
The larger Sour Bubble plants are drinking over 1.5 gallons a day right now. The Thai Haze plants are 2 gallons a day.
I will have to wait a while to pollenate the Thai Haze. They are also week 1 of flower. Only 110 days left to go for them.
