WORLD'S TINIEST BUDs - April '21 OUTDOOR

Second year as a grower. First time with this strain. This year I improved my knoweledge about techniques and I'm trying to apply what I learned. I like growing cannabis in the same way I grow tomatoes or zucchini, so outdoor, in the soil and only supplying water, checking for bugs sometimes, no specific nutrients or stuff. I know this is not what's commonly done by people here but this is my journey. Enjoy ;) - DD

Day 7 - First day of the second week. Temperature outside dropped significantly. The max is 14°C when we are lucky; during night, sunrise, sunset also goes around 2-3°C Definitely not the best for my babies. I took and cut two plastic water bottles to use as micro greenhouse during cold but sunny days and inserted those metal sticks in the soil to use them as support for the bottles. During night I retire them in the garage, not particularly warm but for sure a little warmer and more covered than outside. Supplying very few water once every 2 days since the soil is always humid at this temperatures. Hope in warmer weather in the next days/weeks. - DD

Day 14 - First day of the third week. Very very bad situation. As you can see the situation is basically the same as 7 days ago. I think that my babies stopped growing because of the low temperatures. The small greenhouse with the bottles is not enough and probably because the temperature of the soil remains too low. I'll try to keep it in a sort of garage I have, near a dirty window. Light will be less but hopefully temperatures will be slightly better, also because the main problem about the weather is that sun in decent but wind is very cold. Again, all I can do is hoping in better weather. Finger crossed. - DD

Day 21 - First day of the 4th week. Here I come with the weekly update. As you can see from the pic, weather situation is getting better and temperatures are slightly increasing. Babies are spending most of their time under the direct sunlight and seems that they're slowly slowly re-starting growing. Unfortunately night is still cold so I can't transplant them in the ground as I planned to do and I have to keep retiring them inside before sunset. I have no idea why second leaves are bended down, please let me know if you have any comment about. Again, all I can do is hoping in better weather and that they keep growing. Finger crossed. - DD

Day 28 - First day of the 5th week. Slow slow slow but something is happening. Theoretically this should the time to flower, I'm kinda curious about what will happen, if it's going to continue veg phase or just flowering tomorrow and giving me in the end a micro bud? What's sure is that I haven't found information in the net about the behavior of autos in case of grow stopped by the cold temps (my case) and so I'll be happy to finally have an answer to my questions and this could also be useful for all the GD community. Btw, I reported the usual temperatures graph provided by a national meteorological society. I was so happy that the situation was getting better but last days has been a flop. Just cold, clouds and rain. I kept the plants in the garage near a dirty window for both day and night for the last 4 days, so 0 direct sunlight. Let's hope in the next days. About watering it's 4/5 days I don't give them water. Surfing the net I found out that the droppy leaves are probably given to overwatering, so now I check humidity of the soil with a finger before watering: also today after 4/5 days soil is humid, probably also because of high air humidity due to the rain in these days. Also another fact I'm a little embarrassed to say, there are little mushrooms popping out from the soil sometimes, I think this is a strong enough sign that I watered them too much. Again, all I can do is hoping in better weather and that they keep growing. Finger crossed. (Also waiting for stable good weather for planting new seeds and starting new diaries 👀 ) - DD

Day 35 - First day of the 6th week. Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm happy to announce that we already have the answers to all our (more like "my") questions: F L O W E R I N G ! So if all go as it has to go in 9/10 weeks I'll have my two micro buds, just enough to roll a joint 🤣 Anyway, this is going to be interesting. Weather unstable, still in the pots and still spending night inside. Restarted giving them very few water. Plants seem to be healthy. I reported the usual temperatures graph provided by a national meteorological society. Again, all I can do is hoping in better weather and that they keep growing. Finger crossed. (Also waiting for stable good weather for planting new seeds and starting new diaries 👀 ) - DD ( PS. I'm using stupid diary info (lamp distance growing outdoor, nutrient = none, ...) because of how GD algorithm work. Sorry for this. )

Day 42 - First day of the 7th week. My unwanted microgrowery journey continues :D Weather unstable, lot of storms in the last days so spending only few ours outside, and still spending night inside. Giving them few water but daily. Plants seem to be healthy. I reported the usual temperatures graph provided by a national meteorological society. Again, all I can do is hoping in better weather and that they keep growing. Finger crossed. (Also waiting for stable good weather for planting new seeds and starting new diaries 👀 ) - DD ( PS. I'm using stupid diary info (lamp distance growing outdoor, nutrient = none, ...) because of how GD algorithm work. Sorry for this. )

Day 49 - First day of the 8th week. Holy cow these bitches are turning PURPLE for real ! Weather conditions improving, but night temperatures still low, so I keep retiring them inside for the night. Giving them few water daily. Plants seem to be healthy. I reported the usual temperatures graph provided by a national meteorological society. Again, all I can do is hoping in good stable weather and that they keep growing. Finger crossed. - DD ( PS.

28/05/2021 Day 56 - First day of the 9th week. They do their stuff, IDK 😂, all I do is watching and watering. First night out (no shelter) for them with minimum temp of 12°C. Lower leaves are turning yellow but I think it's ok/normal. Some rain and some sun but weather situation seems getting better. I reported the usual temperatures graph provided by a national meteorological society. Again, all I can do is hoping in good stable weather and that they keep growing. Finger crossed. - DD ( PS. I'm using stupid diary info (lamp distance growing outdoor, nutrient = none, ...) because of how GD algorithm work. Sorry for this. )

04/06/2021 Day 63 - First day of the 10th week. Enjoying their last days of life. Almost time to cut, I guess. Summer is here, finally, straight week of sun and heat. I reported the usual temperatures graph provided by a national meteorological society. 3 month for two joints will be worth? 😂 - DD ( PS. I'm using stupid diary info (lamp distance growing outdoor, nutrient = none, ...) because of how GD algorithm work. Sorry for this. )

Formerly "Outdoor Spring Failure (Autos)" ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── 11/06/2021 Day 70 - First day of the 11th week. Last update before harvest. Lot of sun but also lot of rain this week. Had to check weather constantly to move the babies in the shelter in case of storm, since I don't want water causing moisture in the buds. I reported the usual temperatures graph provided by a national meteorological society. They are so cute. - DD ( PS.

24/06/2021 Day 83 We are at the end of this journey. Here the pics of these 2 tiny airy but at least scented buds 😁 After 80 long days we got a yield of 1 gram 😂 Not even 2/3 as I hoped. Just 1 ! ! ! At least I have nice photos of my microbabies... Also the third seed of this strain I planted died. So you'll never see the grown version of this strain on my profile. 😅 Feels bad. Now curing and then I'll enjoy my 80-days-joint and I'll update with effects. ☀️ "WHAT WE HAVE LEARNT FROM THIS EXPERIENCE?" 👉 Guys, if you live in southern Europe, don't grow automatics outdoor in April BEACUSE IT'S FUCKIN TOO COLD 😂😂😂 Peace. - DD
