is it me or has this summer been crap for uk outdoors anyone notice there plants are smaller than last year

yep i remember that wonderfull saturday afternoon we got last year.
beats this year hands down

We've had a fantastic summer, loadsa sun and lumens and my only complaint is lack of rain which may have contributed to holding back my plants growth-wise

Last year was the worst outdoor season up here in quite a long time.

For me this is a better summer than last year. BB is right, the extra rain last year helped the vegging months which is probably why your seeing smaller plants.

so far so good for me too

Where I am it's been an effin shit summer. First nice day today for ages.
Think if ya had em in a greenhouse ok, but no offence to any peeps, just big respect for ya doin it, but I thought the plants outddors in recent pics have been tiny for what size they oughta be for this time of year, unless they were started late.
Seriously no offence to anyone and I'm not saying I could do better etc, but just my honest thoughts. If people put em out in May/June a lot of what I seen should be bigger.
Just wonder if any one else agrees. I have seen my friends grow massive outdoor plants.

this time last year my stems were 4" girth this year there around 2" hopefully my plants will get bigger but its not long till they flower

yep very good for me to, just made sure to give water when needed.

not rely on mother nature completly........

my babys out side are going nuts,all this rain and bright sun. my plants are doing a lot better than last year,think i will get them in at the end of sep. this might be because of the new plot????? all i want is a dry september now. good luck one and all and jah bless

we had a shit week about two weeks ago but the summers been prtty good , some of my plants are quite small only about 3 feet high, but one is coming up 5 foot 9! my only problem is trhat the plamts haven't been fed enough
