Not gonna lie. I’m starting to get worried about the time line
She (87’) is a sensitive plant. Clones on 12/12 were not a representation of how this plant behaves outdoors. Also I think the roots may have made it down to the salt water table or the neighbors lights are too much. She is acting weird.

Could the salt water table could be higher with that high tide super moon maybe? I dont know how that works, really, but how. Far from the water are you? Looks like youre right up on it iirc

I have a neighbor that likes sitting around his backyard fire, and his porch lught is on randomly at night. Ive never had issues due to it, and it looks like you get way more direct light than me. Im currently (subject to change) of the opinion that a fairly far away porch light is no more of an issue than a bright moon outdoors, given the intensity and supremacy of the sun.
welll im right on the water. that plant is like 30 ft. The saltwater does rise up through the ground. My suburb is built on what was once marshland. If i dig down there is a maximum 3’ft of topsoil then a good 3 ft of sand/ pebbles before sandy glacial rock deposits or clay. At full high tide the salt water would be about 4-5’ down if i were to dig next to the 87’
All three of my surrounding neighbors have flood lights. Some on sporadically.
with all that said i have grown in this spot for years.
Now im second guessing myself im im over watering but thats highly unlikely.

I picked a nice 2’ taster nug from my Freakshow plant. I’ll probably harvest a few more big ones on Monday or Tuesday before we get rain for a while. I’ve been seeing signs of nutrient burn on that plant for a long time. I thought it was just really picky, as I never even fed it at full strength. But after all the issues I’ve had with the '87, I think I’ve determined that the saltwater table has affected both plants despite the Freakshow being raised two feet and never having issues in either bed in past years.
The visual stress levels continue to worsen on the '87. However, the buds are finally starting to develop at an exponential rate and i am still fairly confident i will cross the finish line.
look how high the tide is in the background.
The Topsy Turvy has caught pythium. It was an old revegged plant, stuck upside down in an always dry medium under other trees, so I’m not surprised. I leave the door open for any attempts to outdo that one! Plenty of choice nugs will be good.

Your garden is huge bud 
…you should start treating your beds for soil salinity.
Biochar reduces the amount of sodium plants absorb by binding to Na+ ions.
With so much space you can make your own using an oil drum.

I could probably store a small barrel on the side of my house. But how much biochar does one add to combat the ocean.

A layer of a few inches below your beds and some mixed into main mix should make a big difference 
…look up what is good for biochar making and see what’s available in your area …or don’t.
The goal is not to combat the ocean rather reduce the amount of sodium reaching plants

Not-funny.

its kinda funny ;o)
On average the salt water stays down about 4-5’ below my soil level or like 6-7 feet in that raised bed which itself is about 10 yards of soil.
I could spend all the time in the world just getting down to the area .
with that said
I like suggestion. I am always down for amendments I can make myself. Biochar has also been suggested to me in the past to help retain nutrients instead of feeding so regularly in my already amended soil.
Thanks for the suggestion, have some more pics 
Unussually high swell. Although its still a pretty full moon.

Some lovely pictures @PsillyRabbit , all of your plants look well cared for - love the carnivorous plants - have tried to grow from seeds a few times but the UK weather has beaten me every time

Thanks all I appreciate the kind words.Almost a wrap out here.
Pumpkin spice and mums No heat for tomatoes.
I have like 5 main colas that I need to chop early on the 87’ but for the most part she is chuggin along.
honesty 80% (+/-) Sativa was silly. I got all caught up in the romantic notion of getting a clone only strain and convinced myeself it was the right plant for this grow. In the future I will probably keep the one grown here closer to 60% sativa.
freakshow is mainly chopped. I left two big old donkey dicks and the lowers
some purple lemonade dried a week ago is already my daily smoke 
- no patience but it doesnt even need a cure.

Plants look great - weather really changed last few weeks
I’m curious what you think of the freakshow, if it’s worth growing for smoke in your opinion? how’s the high
