What ^^^ said! they are not very forgiving if root bound. I have seen folks that do cweed cutting and think i will get them into beer cups and veg them to get more mola, then the cutts go out root bound and start to flower right away lol seen that a few times.....

cheers man. It's simple but works great. I should have used 12 foot trusses instead as the 10 footers are a lil short at the peak. Some of the trees are pushing 10-11 feet

Also tossed a sheet of shade fabric to block some of the intense sun.. Keeps about 10 degrees cooler with it on there. Waiting till next year to put the full sheets of greenhouse plastic up.. For now the ghetto fab polly and tuck tape is working just fine

i'd recommend more fans or some other ventilation option.
let the plants get full light intensity, i know it's not diminished by much, but let the sun bake those bitches

we have 6 oscillating wall fans and 5X 20 inch box fans up top pushing the heat out. The fabric really only cuts down 60% of the light. And maybe 3 hours if that. I also only have it lowered when its going to be 30+ out. I would love one of those badass greenhouse evaporative ac
 
I have contemplated tossing some girls outside in a greenhouse at the back our property next year and your idea seems to be the ticket.
good stuff, thanks for posting..I think I'll be using your concept

Finally got off my lazy ass and took some pics of the OD:

Extrema (Chem D x Herijuana) outside around the 49th parallel, she started to flower about a week ago, this pic is a few days old (all of them are), hoping it's a winner outdoors around here, so far so good:

Sugar Punch Pheno #2 (from my report), this was a quick flowering phenotype of real high quality. Unfortunately it appears to have some PM, the rest of the plants are clean. I have been treating as best I can organically. It grows quite a bit differently outdoors I must say. Was very lanky inside, still a bit floppy, but much tighter structure. Much much more leafy outside. It's basically just started flowering. It could be done in 7 weeks inside though, so hopefully it will finish before it's too cold and wet.

Here are two untested Anesthesia (Super Skunk x Herijuana). Both smell very strong already. I have clones of course just in case. They started flowering the quickest and I am certain they should be done around the end of Sept beginning of Oct, which is perfect.

And finally Sweet Skunk from PeakseedsBC (which is a mid Oct finisher according to MJ) and my longest flowering Sugar Punch (#6). Never gonna know unless you try right?

SS is on the left, SP is on the right.

Well, the longer flowering SP started flowering before the quicker flowering version inside. And it's been flowering at least a week. So fingers and toes crossed because she's fire when she's done.

Plants were at varying sizes when they went outside. The SP2 and Extrema were significantly larger but suffered a lot of stress on the trip over. The other plants smaller but significantly less stressed. The Anesthesia were the smallest but they have done really well and I'm pretty excited to see how it finishes up. It could be a nice OD variety for the PNW given it's background (Afghani all around with a touch of Skunk).

Sugar Punch is SSH x (Blueberry Sativa x NYCD)

I was in the middle of staking some of these girls up while these were being taken.

My extrema plant blew over in the wind and heavy ass rains we've had the past couple days. It more bent than broke but damn, what a PITA working with a plant that big trying to get it standing up straight again. No major breaks, a few minor ones that should be recoverable.. a little late supercropping.

My Anesthesia have been brilliant though. They weren't topped or anything just grow with a really nice structure and they are sturdy. Also starting to show good flower formation. Totally clean plants too so far even with the rain and humidity the past week or so. My Sweet Skunk showed a few traces of PM (sprayed some sulfur and a potassium bicarbonate solution). The SP2's PM seems to be held in check at the moment no new signs with some thorough spraying (again sulfur and potassium bicarb).

SP1 and Extrema both have some nice flower formation now too. SS no real signs yet. She had a large broken branch I had to tie up as well. I'm not optimistic about the SS thus far. It's a goner from the stable, even tho it's pretty nice smoke. Thought it might have potential in a guerrilla garden as it's pretty low odor if it would finish quick, I don't see it finishing quickly at all.

SP2 looks like more of an indoor plant and SP1 is surprising me so far but we're gonna have to have a good season for it to finish and so far so bad as we enter the fall.

The Ana's though - they look promising :). I have two more girls I didn't put outside too, so who knows how they'd do?

Hows all the rain treating everyone?
Im still about 4 weeks or so from chop. So not full dense. Zero mould or PM so far. Chopped one early auto that was on the edge so i got it out of the rain. The greenhouse will be done mid october. Mr heater propane heater is ready to roll. And also have a wood stove to dry and heat the greenhouse.
