First timer finally in Flower

Hello !! First time grower here. Thought I’d share my outdoor Blue Dream grow. They have been in flower for about 4wks and are looking pretty darn healthy. Two of the plants are almost 7’ and the other two are just over 5’.

I used a combo of FF OF and ME Terracraft potting soil. Gen Hydro and Fox Farm amendments throughout.

I really enjoy growing all kinds of plants so, this has been a lot of fun. There is so much info out there for first timers like myself, it can be a little overwhelming. I’ve tried to keep it as basic as possible and I’m really just hoping for a successful harvest. Taste, density, yield, etc. will all be a bonus this time around.

My question to you all is, how long would you guesstimate I have left before harvest ? I know there are a lot of determining factors. I’m just looking for a rough estimate time wise.

TIA !!!

Just off the top from your pics I’d say at least 6 maybe 7 weeks.
Don’t know if your weather will hold that long for you tho.
In 6-7 weeks I’ll have frost possibly snow where I’m at. .

The plants look Beautiful @Plantastic
Time wise, you’ll have an October harvest. When in October I couldn’t tell ya. The plants will tell you when they’re ready.

Thank you all. I figured I was close to half way.

I’m in zone 9B so, it won’t cool off until at least February. Not much of a winter down here. I guess that’s what makes it worth dealing with these oppressive summer days.

Thanks again and I’ll post more pics in 4 weeks.

Watch out for catipillers and bud rot. I’m in the south too and it’s a struggle to say the least. That’s why I went indoors with it…

Yeah, I have them under close watch in my pool cage. The only bug issue I’ve had is with white flies coming from my pepper plants. I killed them off with neem oil before they bothered my ladies.

Initially, I started indoor, in a 3x3 but these things outgrew it fast so, I had to move them outdoors. My next run will be one plant and indoors.
