koala Into week 4 ish, germinated in small 10cm pots, transferred outside to soil at 2 weeks (with some tomato's). Auto Duck has weak smell, SKCBD no smell. Going to be basic grow, outside, in soil, maybe some tomato feed, irregular watering - so far no watering for 12 days except rain. Photos have skcbd at the front and duck at the back.

koala Little bit of growth, quite stretched, not much branching - too shady a spot maybe? Also something has been eating the stress killer, seems to have stopped last couple of days but I'll keep an eye on it. Will give first dose of tomorite tomorrow. First 4 pics are the duck, last 4 the stress killer

koala Watered 3 times, no rain this week. Used Tomorite at half strength for one watering. Autoduck starting to fill out, stress killer a bit behind but otherwise look OK.

koala Watered once this week (with nutrients), and rained once. Autoduck doing nicely, SK a little behind but looking good. Both very much upside down Christmas trees!

koala Away this week, so no water for 7 days over the hottest week of the year! Don't seem to have suffered for it! Feeding once per week, 20ml Tomorite in 4.5l of water shared between both. Will water deeply for the next few days as no rain forecast.

koala Going well, watered twice, fed once. Getting sticky!

koala The auto duck is filling out nicely, but the stress killer seems to have been left behind

koala Found a third plant! Had thrown the seeds I hadn't thought hadn't germinated away but one of the stress killers made it. Seems to be a bit of a bonsai, only 15 cm tall. Pics 1-3. The auto duck is looking good, still filling out and growing more buds. Some of the larger leaves are breaking down. Normal? Pics 4-8. The stress killer looks pretty sickly in comparison. Limited buds and very stretched out. Looks off the leaves starting to break down, go brown and cracking. Can't see any pests. Anyone got any ideas? Disease? Or is it normal as autos get to the end of their lifespan? Pics 9-13.

koala Coming along nicely, maybe ready to harvest next week? Autoduck still looking much stronger than the stress killer, although both have limited branching.

koala Considering: Planted in shade Watered irregularly Fed only Tomorite after 4 weeks Fed only once per week Then the low weight and look of the plant might be expected. However the auto duck growing alongside looks much better, so might say the stress killers genetics aren't as strong. Due to my approach to growing it says an easy grow, no stress at all. Currently drying outside under cover, will updated once dried and tasted.

koala More updates after its had a week in the shed to dry0
