N.Lights x Big Bud Outdoor Auto

Hello everyone and welcome to my summertime outdoor grow journal. So far this spring i've been playing with autoflower seeds. go check out my other journals for those journeys. I live in the southwestern part of Ontario Canada. The weather is typically excellent and outdoor plants normally do very well in full sun, which is where I'm set up. I have a 75cm x 75cm raised wooden planter box that will be home to a Northern Lights x Big Bud AUTO. The seeds are from Canuk Seeds just like my other plants this year but this is the first one ill be putting outside. Grown in soil and with sunshine I plan on using Dutch Science Nutrients for all three stages of growth. So far I have been having success with this brand of nutrients, they're easy to use and gentle enough to not overload the plants. That said, according to DSN you should only feed a 1/2 strength solution to autoflower plants so that's what we'll do😁 , I have two dogs so larger pests and animals shouldn't be a problem. Last summer I did have some trouble with leaf-hoppers during the dryer mid summer months and powdery mildew in the fall. Since this year i'm using autoflower seeds my plant should be ready well before September. The earlier harvest time should help to avoid any mildew issues but I will definitely have to keep my eyes open for hoppers and aphids.😈 My goals for this grow are to concentrate on and one grow a big bush with lots of sticky buds. Here's hoping for a potent and bountiful harvest.
