Trying times growing outdoors Colorado

[Greenthumb58]

These poor girls have seen some trying times early May went through snow, ice rain and freezing nights dropping below 28 degrees. Last night dodge a bullet had 3inch hail couple of miles north of us, terentual rain last night. Plants are amazing :)

Howdy! Welcome to the Farm and welcome to growing cannabis in Colorado!
Yeah we have everything against us here, at least where I am:

• Hailstorms
• Spider Mites
• Gale Force Winds
• Grasshoppers the size of your thumb
• Sandy dirt
• Random freeze/snow
• Drought
• Monsoon floods
• Wildlife eating crops
• The list goes on...​

I cannot tell you how many "pro" growers I have met from Florida, California, etc. who come out here and think they can just do the same shit they did where they came from.... Only to fail miserably.
I've been growing here for almost 10 years and I can tell you it's one of the hardest places to grow cannabis on the planet.

Dealing with another round of monsoon rain, finding branches split from the main stalk, tied them up hopefully they can repair itself. Not sure whether to cry or throw a toddler melt down either way wouldn't help. Good luck with your grow
