lol its funny to think you moved your plants 5000 ft closer to the light...
I measured my sun with my lux meter the other day. Got 138,000 LUX, compared to my 50K average indoors. Altitude is 1,000. Now if only Avinash had a lux meter......
thanks A_s
the light dep is a big eye opener to me, the quality of summer dep buds is unreal... has alot to do with the genetics and organics im sure also but that summer sun is something else, especially up here around 5.6k ft above sea level
hardest part is to slow down the dry time in the heat of summer...
What to say about this years hemp crop?
well.... it's a learning experience that's for sure, can't say i feel successful with it, but the work load has been solely upon me and my partner (who has degenerative disc disease and fibro and some other chronic pain issues and works as hard as she can, but is also somewhat limited by those issues). Our workers left right before the heavy workload planting season started, and we didn't get more help until early august when planting was over and we just started weeding by then (way way way too late)
We started planting at least a week late (mid june - due to delay on behalf of our clone supplier), during what turned out to be the hottest few weeks of this summer. weeding was seriously neglected since it was only 2 of us during june/july while we were planting, we prioritized planting clones in the field over weeding and mowing. Also my hardening off process did not prove as effective as i thought it would, probably due to the heat and the fact that i was giving them afternoon evening sun not midday sun; other plants hardened under a tree got some midday sun and did fine.
my watering schedule ended up doing fine for the plants, but next season need to weed sooner and harder, till deeper, consider some mulch layers, possibly weed block fabric even - some liquid fertilizers
considering planting more seeds next year and starting to sow as early as this fall

^^ biggest hemp plants in the field, if it all looked like this i would be totally happy with the crop

^ much smaller plant already in full bloom, if all of the hemp looked like this i would be somewhat happy with the crop

^ shitty hemp, some plants got really sunburnt and never recovered properly

^ worst of the hemp plants are only a foot or so tall, barely out growing the dark veined swiss chard being grown right next to it
So then you only got about/around 2.5 months of veg time maybe? those don't look like hemp plants that I've scene before. Those kind of look more like regular pot plants. But then again the regular hemp plants I've seen are in video's in area's where hemp farming is legal and those plants are basically all long stems and the fields look about as tall as a field of corn.
if you plant hemp close together, very close - you get that typical row crop look to hemp, tall single stalk and seed heads all at the same height...
that's for fiber
im growing CBD hemp basically just as if i were growing "regular pot" in a field
spacing is about 2-4 ft in a zig zag pattern - some areas tighter than others
How do you plan to process the hemp?
some will be extracted using solvents, ethanol and avocado oil
