I won these seeds in a contest here somewhere, and on my first pass I grew only one and I think my attempt at topping didn't work out and may have ended up stunting the plant. The seeds were still robust and all 3 I threw in the pool germinated quickly, so we're giving her a better chance with 3 plants this time around, and I have no plans to mess with them topping-wise. I like sativa's.
I moved these 3 girls outside a little quicker than the 420 batch because the weather is nice with lots of early morning sunshine right now - no fog. And the contractor is finally done working on my fence.
The group of three queens is moving along nicely. One of the 3 is clearly loving life a little more than the other 2 girls so I'm confident we'll have a nice store of this cured and ready before the photoperiod crop comes around in the fall.
Software malfunction note > There is no Lamp to Plant Distance or Light Schedule here. The plants are outside.
The 3 queenies are coming along nicely, with one large girl and a couple smaller versions. They come in at 18", 14", and 11". Weather has been off and on this week between full sunshine and a couple cloudy days thrown in.
Moving right along. Not the sunniest or warmest of weeks but Mother Nature is turning up the heat for a few days now and there will be plenty of sunshine. Full speed ahead.
Weather hasn't been too hot the last week, in fact, it's been on the cooler side most days with temps in the 70's at best. Nice. Alternating feeding straight water and nutrients. Time to start looking at trichomes.
All these girls are moving right along. I like that they are all growing in a consistent fashion, as compared to the crop of 420's I have going right now. Still a couple weeks to go on these girls. Gonna get hot this week... wanna see these buds start to fatten.
These girls are moving along nicely. Probably only about a week to go before I flush these. Accidentally yanked off a couple buds trimming fan leaves so took a good look at the trichomes. No amber yet, but mostly cloudy.
I've been nursing these girls along with minimal water since early in the week when I flushed everybody. One girl is clearly a little bit further along based on visual inspection, but I'm just trying to dry everybody out equally so I can harvest them at this point.
I'll probably harvest everybody either tomorrow morning or Wednesday.
3 plants in this crop, 2 on the larger side and the smaller one came in with some nice purple fall coloring at the end. Very fragrant and sticky at the end.
This was a pretty easy growing season in the relatively short life of autoflowers. We had only one really HOT spell during this period... oddly back in May I think (where we had temps exceeding 90 for 3 days in a row).
I'm just gonna guess at the final weight for the moment. Temperatures have been so nice and mild the last few weeks (like mid-70s highs) the plants aren't drying out very quickly.
July 13 > Finished trimming the third plant today and that last one was a whopper coming in at 71 grams for one plant, with all three coming in at 148 grams. A solid haul for autoflowers. These girls were extremely sticky during trimming needing more than the average number of gloves.
Nice. I had five days of overnight lows near 0 C last week so my four week old plants are a bit behind yours...The Wonder Pie is doing okay with a much earlier start this year. Good luck.
@SonomaSungrown, Hey there.... depends on which girl, and conditions. One of the nice features of small pots (which I've resigned myself as not needing larger pots than 3 gallons for auto's outside after experience)... is that it's easy to lift them to gauge how much water each girl is drinking. At this point the 2 larger girls are getting about 1/2 gallon per day of fluid. Nutrients on one dose and plain water the next alternating. Now... this changes when it gets foggy for a couple days and temps moderate... versus the heat wave which is now forecast to move in this week with 90 degree temps. It's VERY important to NOT keep the plants constantly wet. Let them dry out a bit and the plant is happier in the long run. Learn what dry FEELS like. 🙏
