SO..........................the girls are doing okay. I can only expect so much, given they're in 5 gals (except for LB), and half of them didn't get a good start. It's a nice experiment, for comparison sake. I don't think there's any bad plants here (of course, I don't think there are any bad plants ANYWHERE, EVER), just some early bloomers and some that still need some time. I've been feeding them with Tiger Bloom and a seaweed/kelp additive, and they've had two doses now of guano for top-dressing. Now I'm running out of room, should've planned better and left more room at the top of the bags. Never again with the 5 gals, they're great for indoor but way too restrictive for outdoor even way up here in Maine. I just finished LST again and they're looking pretty funky, but it's getting the desired result. GLad I kept some of them straight and didn't top, I want to see the difference in the end between nature's architecture and my twisted mess. SO far, so good, but I'm a little worried about the Ph. Again, my solution is good (around 6- 6.3), but my medium still comes in at 7 even. Great buffering shit, but I really need to acidify the soil a bit more. I've got some PhDown, but I'm worried that if I drop the solution too low I'll burn the plants. On the other hand, it doesn't seem to have much of an effect so far at 6.... 7/31 Update: Gave the ladies another round of bat guano, 2 lbs. spread hroughout a dozen plants. Kinda worried that I used too much, but the first applications weren't enough so we'll see. Yesterday gave 'em a feeding of Tiger Bloom, today I watered the guano in with well water that I adjusted (using PhDown) to a reasonable 6.5. A good dry day, bright too, they should soak it up good today!

Anybody ever hear of a plant flowering this early outdoors? Grew the same strain last year, and it was way later. It's been out for a while, and in veg the whole time. Two days ago I looked and the hairs have multiplied and baby buds are forming already.

I private messaged you bro. You're good. No worries. One thing I would do though is look into a way of securing your plants in the wind. Especially before flowering starts. It SUCKS to have a nice tall plant snap under the weight of bud and rain or just strong wind. I've also had 5 gallon buckets tip over. I know it's a bag not a bucket but still. Just a cautionary tale from a fellow Mainer. Looks great though man!

Someone forgot to tell the plant to read the instruction manual! Seriously though, this is typical phenotypic variation. Seeds are not identical. Think of how lucky you are that this plant will finish much earlier, and before the weather gets nasty/rainy/cold in early Fall/Autumn! Cheers, Organoman.

I was just trying to figure that out myself... I just finished two strains indoors (both photoperiod). I made some clones from both of them... had these clones out since the first week of june... I searched up daylight hours for where I live and it said June 1st 15.1 hours... About 3 weeks ago, I thought I noticed pre-flower on one strain... skip ahead to now and I am 3 weeks into flower on that strain and the other strain is starting to show signs of pre-flower... pistels and stretch... Pre-flower doesn't start until the first week of August where I live. I repeat.... These are not Auto Flowers... So... I'm with you on this one 😂😁😵

Anyone ever seen eggs under their fan leaves, not ON the leaves, but hanging from them?? WIsh I'd thought to get a pic, but it looked lke a dozen tiny eggs or seeds of some sort hanging from fuzzy transluscent lines or webs.

@ChitownCannaChica the only insect I know that does that are green lacewings and you certainly don't want to get rid of them. They are the most beneficial insect you can get. @LefthandedJ they look like a little pin stuck to the underside of the leaves. Amazing predators.

WIsh I had alittle more foliage on the tall girls. Took some minimal shade leaves (pests got to them), hope they still have what they need. Two of the ATF's I tied down, four tie-downs to each plant with two main stems left vertical on each. The last ATF is kinda one-sided. I dunno why, but the other side just never did anything and eventually I cut off the tiny little wannabe branches on the dark side of the plant in favor of the the rest of it. I did try to fix it first thought, rotated the little bugger every few hours for a week trying to keep the dead side facing the sun but it was to no avail, the left handed grower ended up with a left handed plant. The Lamb's Bread is a good 38 inches now, and just as wide. The others still have a ways to go, but I'm feeling pretty good about them. Within two days the ChemDawg should break 5 ft, with no signs of slowing down.

Topped some of them, wanted to see what kind of height I'd get out of a 5 gal letting it go au natural. The ATF's (2 of em) were topped, I just tied down the other branches. At this point in the year, do you really think it would be worth it to top them? I have my doubts as to how much they would be able to recover / grow before flower sets in. Maybe I'm just being paranoid about the timing, because one started early for some reason.

I should probably mention that I don't know the breeders behind any of my seeds. They're all from dispensary bags, usually that one or two miricle seeds in a bag, but a couple times it was a new grower who missed a male. It's been my overwhelming experience that "bag seed" these days (assuming it comes from a reputable dispensary) almost always grows well and is most often female. I haven't bought a seed in years! That said, if anybody knows where to get White Thunder seeds let me know. Kera made 'em, billed it as a beginner strain for growers, but I loved the flavor.

Mental note... always check for males... then check AGAIN... had a couple little Lemon OG's on the side and one's sprouted balls. Thought it was in the clear-- first time I've seen a male without directly opposing leaf nodes.

Definite flowering not just on the ChemDog. Buds started on 2 out of 3 ATFs, the third is a holdout.

Just top-dressed them all with guano, they can use the food. Second dose for the ChemDawg and ATFs, no signs of burn yet.

@Pierrougarou21, Been lucky so far this year! Dodged most of the steady rain and clouds and it's way warmer up here than it used to be. My biggest environmental fear is mold-- it tends too get everywhere. Humidity can be a bitch.

Looking good bro! Especially considering the weather we've been having. Rain every night and one day was 100% humidity and it wasn't even raining. Good job dealing with the weather. Just some perspective from a nearby grower. I'm hoping for a month of good weather but we shall see.

@lefthandedJ, Not just freak wind we got a crazy bunch of SHEET rain that went with it. The ONE plant I don't have supported was all bent over. Luckily I sustained no damage. I've got them pretty well secured and that's saying something considering the height. I'm in to tight of a spot. I'm with you on finishing up. I have a couple late bloomers (ice cream cake for one) so I'll be out there in December with ya bud!

@masterofsmeagol, No shit! Did you guys get a major freak wind the other day? I don't know if it was just a little microburst or something, but out of nowhere the wind came up and went crazy for 10 - 15 minutes. Between the rain, wind, humidity, and now dipping into the 40's at night.... I kinda can't wait for the season to finish.

The first year I grew I did 5 gal root pouches and (like you) found them to be too small for photoperiods but perfect for autos. I ended up digging holes and setting them into the ground, the roots spread through the pouch into the dirt and gave them some extra room. I don't know how mobile you need to keep these plants but it is an option...

Dude we have to chat! I'm left handed and outdoor in Maine lol. Things look great! Especially for only 5 gallons! Very healthy! I'm also experiencing early flowering and MAJOR stretch. I'm in Maine too. It would be good to talk shop sometime. Stop by and take a look at my diary. Happy growing my friend!

It has been soooo damn humid!!! (I'm in Maine too) Got a little mold on my autos that need about 2 more weeks😩

@Fibro_Witch, You're not kidding! Finally broke, but I have to wonder for how long. The little heat wave didn't help much either, big stretch number two of the season.

Looking good bro! Congrats on getting some supports up! It's cool how you did it because you can add to it if you wanted to (with just more string) and make a sort of vertical trellis that could even be used for branch support in late flower. Bravo! Plants are looking awesome man. Also you're in for a fairly long flower person with lamb's bread. Good luck!

@masterofsmeagol, Thanks man! So far so good-- and my thoughts exactly on the support. I can already see where I'll need a couple more diagonals to suppport a couple of the bigguns. Woulda just used more stakes and circled each pot, but they're not cheap and this year not as easy to come by.
