Day 29:
Started to do some LST on them with copper wires, might keep doing it with the coperwires or I might change it into rubber dreads once the branches get stronger and longer.
The climate starts to get better for them as well, 20 to 28 celcius daily and 15-17 at night, so finnally I can keep them outside at night.
Pictures where made a few hours before dark.
Day 34:
Started to see some preflowering. It shocked me because I didn't do anything to force them into it.
Did some research and found out that there are two types of F1 genetics. The Photoperiod and the Autoflower kind.
It seems that these are the autoflowers, while I tought it where photoperiod ones...
So now I have to stop removing nodes and hope for the best. Ill hope the branches will stretch some but I doubt it LOL.
@gottagrowsometime, Thanks for telling, I adjusted it.
It was Vita Start indeed. Somehow I clicked on the other one.
This is just another try for me. The Geotexile pots with plagron nutrients.
I often like to do this at small so if I like the new nutrient, seeds or method of growing, I apply it to my bigger ones.
Its a mistake to top this plants, they won t recover in time and will most definetly give you shit yield. Their life cycle is just to short trust me I know. Good luck though, honestly hope I m wrong I just usually ain t.
@Gajba333,Hi sorry for interfering but i think you are wrong with not training Auto flowering plants. They can take it, it's just a matter of timing and a little bit of luck 🍀🤞. You can check my 🍌💜👊 diary as a reference i used all HST methods minus a full manifold and they responded better than some photoperiod plants i had. I'll be checking your grows as well , take care.
@Gajba333, Seems that there are two kinds of F1's. The Photoperiod and Autoflower kind.
I was hoping to get the Photoperiod, thats why I did all that work on them.
Instead I got the autoflower kind.
@Gajba333, 70 days from seed to harvest doesn't work for outside grows, might inside but outside it always takes longer. In a few days they are 4 weeks old, they are not even mature yet.
I gues they will grow for another 2 weeks at least before going into pre-flowering. After that there are just 2-3 weeks left for flowering?
My bet is that they will take at least 8 to 9 weeks af this point.
Again if I did read it right, these are not autoflowers. Just a genetic that have a shorter flowering time, with that information I did top them.
About the yield, well I don't care much about it. My outside grows are always for fun and experiments. I rather have them short and bushy. Thats why I like to top them so
the energy goes to the branches instead of the main brance/cola.
