Outdoor AK Greenhouse Grow

So, here's an update on the ladies in the greenhouse.
First, the Frisian Dew. They're getting lots of AK sunshine lately, but still stretching like mad. The girl on the left is 28 days from sprout and the girl on the right is 20 days from sprout. Both are being fed full strength nutes at this point. They seem happy in there. The older FD grew two inches from last night's feeding, which is when this pic was taken. I have a feeling she's about really get after it, there are a few small pistils showing up.
Then the other plant buried in the tomatoes is the Onyx passed off by @DarshAK. Keep in mind, he harvested the other Onyx a few weeks ago (and damn she lights you up, threw me for a loop the other night). So I am not entirely sure how old she is at this point, but suffice to say she is going to go at least 100 days. She is 4'1" tall by measurement today. So healthy, getting bigger. The buds are starting to thicken up a bit for sure.
Speaking of tomatoes (and cuc's and squash), plants also rocking in the Vertigro towers with flowers popping up everywhere. I need to get in there and trim some foliage so I grow tomatoes not trees, as they say.
All in all, it's been interesting to compare the greenhouse grow process to the indoor LED grow. But educational in their own right. In hindsight, I would have grown on Frisian Dew indoors and one outdoors. . Oh well, I guess I'll have to order more beans from the kind folks at Dutch Passion and do a retroactive comparison on a later indoor grow.

@Tetra9 - Frisian Dew is a Dutch Passion seed. According to the kind folks at DP, it's best grown in a greenhouse, so I am giving it a try up here in AK! We'll see.
At the moment, despite the 18 hours of sun we're getting these days up here, they're both stretching up pretty tall. Here's a pic from today.
I'll get some proper pics in a day or so, at their next feeding. I've also rearranged things in the greenhouse, so thinking they might do better in a different spot with more consistent sunlight.

Ha! yeah, I have neglected this journal a bit . . and perhaps the grow as well. Not sure. I have certainly paid closer attention to the grow in my garage and the veggies in the greenhouse. I guess this has been a bit of an experiment. One lesson is that while it gets hot in the greenhouse, now that the tomatoes are going CRAZY, the Frisian Dew are battling for access to light. Combine that with a strong stretch back to cloudy weather and they are a bit stretched out. That said, the older FD has some beautiful, purple buds developing.
First, a view of the greenhouse and all its tomato glory! (we need to trim back again).
Here are the Frisian Dew. At this point they are about 60 days and 45 days respectively. They younger FD has yet to really show any buds lately, but you can see the buds forming nicely (albeit slowly) on the older FD. What is obvious is that they stretched really tall finding the light through all the other plants in the greenhouse.
And. . . then. . . there is the Onyx passed along from @DarshAK. this one is a mystery to me. Again, Darsh harvested her sister (grown indoors) weeks ago. Every time I think this Onyx is going to stop growing vertical and start really packing on the weight, she adds 2-4 inches!
So, lesson from my greenhouse. Edible fruit, absolutely going bananas. Special ladies, they are tall, leggy and lanky, but looking promising (Frisian Dew), if not behaving a bit oddly (Onyx). They are, however, all very, very healthy.

To fish or not to fish? What a stupid question :)
Thanks for the update. Buying a new house and may be putting in a greenhouse. Probably just for veggies. I am a bit of a control freak when it comes to my canna girls so they will stay inside where I can regulate them better. All your girls are looking great. I'll be looking for more updates
