Second Grow: Variety!

Disappointingly, the sun has reached a point where my house and the trees completely cast a shadow over the plants, so they are no longer getting any direct sunlight. Also, it has been overcast/cloudy outside ALL WEEK. So this week these plants look exactly how they looked last week. But because they are autoflowers they are getting closer to harvest. For the white widow, almost ALL the pistols are now darkened. Under a jeweler loupe, the trichomes all look milky and/or cloudy, and I did not notice any amber, so I might be able to keep it alive for another week or two without sacrificing THC quality. Because of the cloudy weather, I moved all these plants into my closet under 80 watts of CFL's, which isn't nearly enough for them, but might at least be better than complete shadow outside, and this way they aren't exposed to the outdoor elements like insects and mold. For a longer-term solution, I ordered a Spider Farmer SF2000 grow light for finishing the grow inside. I've simply gotten too frustrated with all the outdoor grow challenges, and am very disappointed with how short and thin these plants are. Hopefully the grow light will at least give them some growth as they reach the end of their lives. I'll start my next grow completely under the grow light, and if the plants are still thin and short I'll then know that it's a seed genetics or soil/nute problem instead. The grow light doesn't get here till Friday, so unfortunately these will be stuck about 2-3ft under about 80W of CFL light until then. Maybe because these are so small I'll be able to re-use all the soil after harvest for the next grow.
