things are not going so well friends.. I have decided to give up on my original outdoor grow.

I went to see them today and after receiving 2 gallons a piece just 3 days ago, 2 of my plants were dead, and the rest were on the way. The heat is unbearable in this location, and they all have showed signs of heat stress as soon as it hit 90. The drip did not work out as planned -- I hypothesize that because the drippers are only putting out a gallon every day, the entire pot isn't getting soaked in contrast with hand watering that same gallon.

A few plants maybe salvageable, but I have completely redrawn my outdoor strategy, and have much higher confidence, due to easement of watering, in the new location. Also plan on doing an outdoor sog when 12/12 is nearing using a natural drip that looks somewhat promising.

Pilav is, well, hopefully getting better. I hope the flush does the trick.
