Showing signs of heat stress.
July 13: buds are starting to glisten and glitter in the sunlight.
July 20: second round of Smoothies have not recovered from cold in mid-May. Most of these plants were culled in early June and the remaining ones are stunted. All the May 1 start plants are smaller than they should be.
Moral of the story is that it’s likely best to wait until about May 21 (May long weekend here in Canada) to start outdoor autos even if it feels like summer because there will definitely be cold nights.
@Northern_Ent,I love to smoke the herb that I grow😛,
but it's the growing part that is highly addictive😵 as I've come to find out.
Just can't wait to put some more beans in the soil😏, espescially with Autos
It's always another EXPERIMENT😜.
Grow BIG!!!
@pecorino, I usually top my autos as this helps to prolong the veg phase. Mine usually veg for 6-7 weeks and this is mostly due to the cool nights that slow their metabolism.
@Northern_Ent,for me dutch passion and some strain from royalqueen yielded good, like autohulkberry and autoultimate, the problem for fastbud in my experience was that the vegetative stage was too short for outdoor
@pecorino, I pretty much have to grow autos this far north and I’ve had good success with strains from FB, Auto Seeds, original Sensible, and Crop King.
The most promising this year are the Early Version photoperiods from Delicious seeds.
Anyway, the point is not all autos are tough enough for outdoor but most of them are.
Supposed to be 35c today plus humidity, pushing 40, YUCK!!!
good thing for central air, I keep my house at 72f(20c)approx.
the tents in the basement never exceed 24c👍, so I'm thinking
the Lambs Breath will stay inside for awhile longer, until this heat dissapates
a little, hope all is well and stay cool😎..
Later!!
