Sounds like u had a lot of issues with ur grow this year, as did I.. Mother nature was kind of a pain in my ass this nbn year! luckily i had my ladies in 5 gal buckets and i have LED lights set up inside so they have been inside on shitty rainy days (basically all of july and the first half of August) and outside on the sunny hot days..
I have also had to deal with spider mites and a few other problems but they are coming along pretty good now.. I didnt get to start mine until the beginning of july because i just moved so they didn't get huge but I really can't complain about how they look considering all the issues I ran into.. I just look at it like this, more experience for next year! LoL.. i enjoyed ur post, makes me realize everyone goes thru some shit sometimes 😉 so thanks for sharing.
