Happy 4th of July!! One of the best holidays because it's one of the best holidays to get loaded. Not this year though. I was drinking Rebel Yell Kentucky bourbon and smoking hashish at my friend's wedding reception last night so I'm staying mellow today. Smoking ganja and drinking Fijian Kava root. As soon as it gets dark the mortars start, usually until 3 AM so I'm hoping the kava keeps me doped through all that.
If you're planting cuts you're still okay, I wouldn't want to be germinating seeds this late. Unless they're in containers you can move back indoors to finish. The cuts still have July to get bigger without any of the cool rainy spring weather to slow them down. You can't have any setbacks though, they need to get their roots down and GO. If they get munched or stunted or whatever you're out of luck.
My weather in the PNW used to be similar to the UK, I'd want to harvest by September 23rd or lose everything to mold. Now I'm harvesting with mold losses but plenty of mold free flower on October 20th. Having mold resistant strains and knowing tricks to avoid mold makes a big difference for me as well. Local conditions make a huge difference. Years that I've done great my friend 15 miles away has had total failures.
Great looking lineup @revegeta666 . Should be amazing in your climate.
Strange Brew is Sweet Skunk X Snow Lotus. She's shifted gears, growing with all kinds of vigor now. Popped up to head high by the 4th of July. Since the picture I' posted last week she's stacked on quite a bit of height.

The last few years every July I have a strange wilting disease. This is similar but different from what I was writing about before, how new transplants can struggle a bit and wilt even when they have water. This happens to vigorous plants that are doing great, suddenly a few branches near the top start to wilt in a bad way in the midday heat. When the soil is saturated with water.
One of the symptoms is that they don't take up water, the roots stay wet. The tendency is to want to water them more but that's wrong, the best solution is to let the soil dry out completely. The pattern for a healthy plant is to have a 'ring' of wet soil around the dry spot in the middle where the root ball is. In this case the rootball stays wet and the plant doesn't uptake water. The fan leaves start yellowing in an irregular way, with one side having a necrotic tip and hanging yellow fingers while some of the fingers stay green with yellow blotches.
This is happening to what was one of my best most vigorous plants. Huckleberry punch X (Buddha's sister x SSH). I believe it's entirely random which plant gets hit by this disease. It's never more than one or two that get it. Always starts when the temperature is humid and starts to climb above 80 degrees F. Here's what it looks like.

The only cure is to let the soil dry out completely. Remove some of the yellowing leaves and hope she recovers. It sucks that this plant got hit, one of my best smelling and one I got in very early. Had the potential to get huge. Now it's likely it'll be stunted although it could snap out of it and take off any time.
My little Tirah Valley hashplants are looking great. They remind me of Purple Urkle quite a bit. They aren't the fastest growing plants, they're stocky little Indicas that smell like potent hashish.

The Goji OG is Bodhi's 'flagship' strain, the one that caught everyone's attention. Nepali OG X Snow Lotus. It's a fun one because there's several interesting phenotypes that can pop up. The mix of smells is very interesting, from creamy butterscotch to anise to lavender to goji berry to more of a spicy OG thing. The purple stalked one I have is rare, I'm excited to see what she's going to put out.
