Temps rose to mid and high 80's this week, and plants dig it. No rains, some wind, and I water it daily, albeit not with any huge volumes. Just enough to see that the soil doesn't dry out.
Nice growth with warm temperatures outside. Moved it to a new location today, close to my other two babies (or teens by now), trust she will keep on truckin'!
Out of my three plants, this AK is looking the healthiest, bushiest, most vigorous and plain old awesome. Eager for it to shoot up into the flowering stage, hoping the weather holds up (though plentiful rain has been promised). Either way, excited to just watch this beauty grow!
So.... never cloned a plant (first three plants in soil, germinated from seed) and would like to try and clone this baby. Are there good video guides to cloning outdoor plants in vegetative state? Ordered Ed Rosenthal's mammoth book, but it'll likely arrive after flowering...
You can't clone an autoflower... @Roberts missed the fact that's what you're wanting to do... he knows what he's doing IF we were talking about a photoperiod - but you just can't clone an autoflower... sorry!
Getting bushier, pushing out plenty of leaves, everything looking radiant and green. The plant looks incredibly strong, the trunk is solid and does not approve of my trying to LST it. This lady shows me the middle finger and keeps on growing. She is the boss, and I hope I can do whatever I can to support her. Rock on.
This girl is starting to flower. Been a mixture of rain and sunshine, cool nights and decently warm days. But this beauty is the strongest looking of my three plants, bushy with a heavy main frame that almost refuses my attempts at LST. GIrl, You'll Be a Woman Soon. 😁
This beauty jumped in height and vigor last week, and is looking stunning. I had some aphid action earlier, but no visible recurrence now, and she's pushing out pistils and going strong on all fronts.
So I've been having these brown spots, thinking bugs or aphids or.... but I spotted a neighborhood cat around our yard today, marking its territory elsewhere on the yard. Could this be cat piss sprayed on the leaves?? I wouldn't put it past this fella.... but not sure. Thoughts?
humm hard to say.
Male cats do spray to mark territory, but its a mix of other things not just piss. I feel you would be able to smell the piss if it was it. plus if the cats are not male its not spray from them. It does resemble water dmg on leaves a bit, but in my experience they do not get super crispy and make holes.
A fungus of some sort could be the issue or cat pee. I also have a feeling it could be something in the root zone as well like wet roots soaking in stagnate water. I'd give the plant a rinse off in water "in the shade not direct sun" and if you don't want the cats aorund there you can place dog hair and citrus peals aorund everything as they are not a fan of that. You can also apply a generalized sulpher powder/spray on the leaves for a broad spectrum fungicide.
Good Luck & Happy Growing.

This baby is strong and abundant and blossoming like it's pure magic. LST couldn't hold her down, but perhaps my attempts at wrangling her helped her become a strong and independent. This week is being sunny and warm and I'm just watching those rays get soaked up and turned into beautiful buds!
A week behind in my update as I harvested my Northern Light. This baby has meanwhile grown like crazy and is budding with beauty. It is, however, being of course a sativa, a slow bloomer and is trailing my Super Skunk quite clearly. But I think she'll be well worth the extra wait, as long as the weather holds up reasonably well... though next week is going to have a very cold spell a few overnights. So fingers crossed... and I'll remain ready to carry this one inside as needed.
We are heading into some cold overnight temperatures later this week. Low 40's likely, with daytime 55-60. No rain expected, or not much at least, but unseasonably chilly and cloudy. This one needs time, however. Should I cover it, drag it inside for overnight.. suggestions?
If you can manage it, I would most CERTAINLY get that lady inside at night! I'm not sure just covering her is going to have as much benefit and may still be too cold for her. You'd have to arrange a cover that would not touch or crush her buds, too, wouldn't you?!
I had to do that - haul plants in at night - at the beginning of the summer as our nights were just as cold as what you're talking about - and it worked a treat. I was lucky because I was hauling in SMALL plants at the beginning of their lives...
Whatever your decision - bring her in or cover her up, you've got to do something or you will lose her to those temps!
Good luck!
