How do my 1 month 1.5 week old photo super skunks look

Below are pics of my recently transplanted super skunks from pot to raised bed. Raised bed soil has been filled 1 foot deep and comprised of top soil mushroom compost and peat moss all mixed in watering with correct ph at 6.2-6.3 every other day. Tuesday morning and Friday morning watering w fox farms trios big bloom and grow big at recommended amounts. Also adding cal-mag every time I water. Are these about ready to top ? I would have placed them further apart but wife doesn’t like yard all torn up. They get roughly 6.5-8 hours of direct sunlight. Do these look about normal ? If not I’m open to criticism and advice. Be harsh idc I just want the job done right tired of buying it. Really tired.

Looks healthy. I top at 4th to 6th node. Do preventative maintenance for pests. I use neem, spinosad, and BT. Do root drench and spray. Spray after sunset or it will burn the leaves. Spinosad can harm bees, so use sparingly as needed.

I'm sure they're going to be beauties.

What were they started in? This is getting 8-9 hours of sun a day, and only 26 days old outside. I assume it's cold there by the day length. It's between 10-20c here, so that could be the difference.

They do look very healthy though, just a bit small for six weeks. Have you considered growing indoor with that little sunlight? These two autoflowers are a few days older than your plants. I grew outdoors for a few years, but would never look back with progress like this over six weeks.

Awesome little spot

Definitely ready for a topping. Agreed with @Tracker, IPM is definitely needed outside. This way you prevent issues happening before they even arise (and no one wants those!)

I’d say top and keep on keepin on. They do look a little small for the time mentioned, but eh, as long as they’re healthy and growing!
(have you added any mycorrhizae to your soil? I’d check into that if you haven’t)

Correction on the sunlight. It actually gets around 12 hours of direct sunlight. I was high. I’m in so IL 85-90 here most days. Rains 5.0-6.0 ph water around 1-2 times a week at best. I started the plants in very clean used sour cream containers yogurt containers etc. pics below. Also in pics the myco I want. Thanks to all of you big help finally feeling like I’m starting to learn. When I took them out they were borderline root bound if not root bound. I also have a set of autoflower blueberry from ILGM pics included. 5 gallon grow bags and 3:1 ratio coconut coir to perlite with about 6-8 dry quarts of peat moss mixed in. The autos are 2 weeks old exactly. Any tips on those is appreciated as well thank you. Next pic post after is all auto. First one below is all photo in pots before raised bed transplant.

You have to feed/water much more frequently in coco than in soil. I'm not a coco grower, but there are plenty of posts on here about it.

Yes I have heard that I go heavy on the cal-mag I hear that’s one of the important things about coco. Also putting big bloom and grow big on it too.

I notice a lot of water droplets on the leaves, I’d avoid getting any liquid on them unless I was foliar feeding early morning/evening when the suns not up.
Reason being is liquid can act as a magnifying glass and burn leaves under the droplets. Otherwise it’s looking good

It actually had just rained pretty good where I am at if that helps. If I’m around should I cover them during rain?

Plants have been getting rained on for millenia....I think people just overthink marijuana a little bit. There's no need to shield your plant from every single drop of water..

These got rained on for weeks on end throughout summer with lots of sun inbetween, sat in 30-35c weather for weeks and sat at an average of 72% humidty over five months according to the local bureau of meteorology. They were fine, so we're the runs over the three years previous. I live in a hot, humid, sub tropical environment.

I figure rain has a ph of roughly 5-6 here so it can’t hurt ! I have two more photos that are not as old I’m going to plant in straw bale that has begun composting as a experiment. I grow many vegetables using bale method with great success. Habanero, Serrano, bell peppers of all kinds, cucumber, tomato’s…..

Once Im in the latter half of flower, if it rains, I go shake the plants to get the excess moisture off. I have had plants with dense structure and dense buds get mold spots. That weather pattern is not common here, but we're getting a lot of rain for the past couple weeks here.

I usually stick to less dense strains outdoors for that reason. Sativa dominant. Skinnier buds lol. Grew a few indica autos outside last year and they did not take well to the humidity or constant rain..lost roughly half of each plant to rot, but the bigger Sativas were fine.

Its very rare we see under 60% humidity here lol...if my exhaust fans turn off due to plugs slipping out of socket, humidity hits 99% pretty quickly with lights off, with the fan it's at 70%, even with a 5L dehumidifier.

For sure man one last question. How big a yield do you think I’ll get based on my current path? I’ll start using tiger bloom and flower fuel in flower. Around September 15 to roughly the 5-10 of November is my flower season. After then it’s pretty likely for a frost.

The plants will start to stretch and show first flowers in the latter half of August. Depending on genetics, they will finish sometime in October. I'm around 4 or 5 degrees South of you, so I figure your timing will not be too far off of that.

If you do everything right, you can get a few lbs off of the photos.

This is '20 outdoor. Finished 9 photos in less than ideal conditions, and I could have done much better training them. Sprouted in first week of July. 3.5lbs good nugs plus a bunch of larf and trim.

I had those, and the ones for this year, in a raised bed thats really too small for what I've got in there. It has soil that's had kitchen scrap compost mixed into it for at least a few years now. I supplemented with DynaGro products plus kelp and humic/fulvic, and did pest management listed previously.

Just wondering real fast you guys think my plants are smaller than average because I waited too long to transplant ? And I just topped two of them and fimmed the other four!
