South Africa Outdoor Autoflower Grow

Hi. I think your plants are looking good. Can't see any deficiencies. The WW is flowering now .. so easy on the N from now and more P and K. But you using Freedom farms supersoil (??) .. so you don't need any extra fertiliser (theoretically). The soil is constructed such that one only needs to water from beginning till end. I found that with my plants where doing worse with 'designer' ferts than just to keep it simple with plain rainwater ... because of the supersoil. However make sure to keep your water feed ph round 6.5 (get a ph meter. I use a simple probe one R145 +-. works ok for me). I can see a bit of stretch on your plants (WW) but I wouldn't worry about that. The cheese bagseed looks good as well. Hope she turns out a proper female. Follow my bagseed diary.. I'll be going through the process of eliminating males and females and then spotting the hermephrodites. Problem with bagseed is that they are probably pollinated by an hermephrodite... and then the seeds - if not male .. good chance it's a hermephrodite... but you get good females as well. Thing is your hermephrodite bagseed might polinate your precious WW auto or feminised plant.. ending up again with dodgy bagseed. Thing with plants are is to keep it simple and they will grow. Remember it's a weed!! haha. Another thing (we've talked about this before) when your plants are in pots and outside .. keep them cool. Plants don't like cooked roots. Let me put it this way .. have you walked barefoot on sand on a hot summers day? ooo eina eina .. we'll same thing for plant pots.

Looking good Bru! I'm also using the biobizz range and I've been pleased so far. Was under feeding at first but now going full tilt. Will be expensive in the end but will all be worth . I have bio grow, bio bloom and fish mix. Using the bio grow along with the fish mix so they both go further. Happy growing ✌️🌿

Hi biird. Just reading your questions to Mark from DinafemSeeds. I allowed my baby plants to get morning sun and then afternoon shade (when it really get hot). The problem is not really the hot temperature in general but the heat cooking your pot where the roots are in. Your pot (haha - your pot's pot) or growing container need to stay as cool as possible in the heat of the day. Several options here: 1 Place the pot behind something where the plant itself get sun, but the pot is in the shade. 2 Dig the pot into the soil 3 Cover the soil in the pot with mulsh / straw. Hope that helps.

Yo I wrote you this long long thing then my internet gave out lol FML ! Congrats on a great first grow and getting this far bro ! Looking real nice ! 🚀

Congrats! Yours should be a very good guide for other South Africans to follow! That's a big lawn...lots of room to try new strains! Out of curiosity, how many plants are you allowed to grow at a time?

Hey! Thanks for this detailed diary, helped a lot when i just got started. Also in SA trying late season grow.

Looking really good!!

Not the end of the world if you harvested too early.. you'll get a psychedelic head high. Nice for active outdoor activities like hiking or trance parties. It won't make you lazy. So then just keep the weed for those occations. You won't fall asleep in front of tv tho. In fact a tv will make you nuts .. rather climb a tree.

Sjo. Plants looking nice. I can smell them from here...

“Think it's really a lesson maybe that less is more really.” Yes! Weird and very cool. Same coloring in my diary Bryce Harper. The entire plant was black and it grew in warm temps. A food farmer I know saw it and said “Figure our how to grow black leaves on plants all the time and we’ll be billionaires”. He believes they grow faster. I dunno. She was robust Enjoy your harvest

Wow. Your week 8 flowering is looking good. It's strange for me, as we both started germinating pips about the same time. My plants are still in veg stage and yours are fat of flowers. I still have to wait a couple of months before my flowering excitement starts. I guess the advantages of an auto flower.

Great work,lovely green stem and internode space!nice and tall for a auto,great genetics truely speaks for it self 👍🏻Keep up the good work I’ll watch till the end !happy growing

hey @Biird , you're right that less light might make the plant stretch, but it's also a question of light intensity so it's more of a problem for indoor grows. Overall what I can see is that your plant is actually very healthy and vigorous and you're basically average height wise for the strain - so dont worry , the stretch is going to start now hopefully it will double in size, the bigger the better right? more bud ! you're doing a good thing with the mollasses - carbs are great for this period of growth ! i wish i could give you pointers but you're 100 that's the truth. 🚀

Hi, will say some additions to my answer. As long as the Gitl stretches, ( shes an xl lady) keep the kombination of vegetation fert. and blooming fertiliser,. But be sure not to give to much just giving the regular amount of vegetation fertiliser and add up some blooming. She will be a very big girl and she will need some N. Happy growing iam follow up, to see how she grows

Looks like we are same strain, and about the same timing today's my day 20. Good luck, look forward to comparing along the way.

Eager to see how she does in our climate,let’s she what she does. Happy growing!local is lekker!

very nice choice of strain, will follow 🚀

@@Simsalabim, Hey man! I would love to know what you think of my Week 5 diary! Want the feedback because you're also in SA and I love your grow! Just starting my second auto today so will be using all the new experience on her! Let me know what you think? Thanks so much!

Another this is .. you can't compare an outdoor grow in SA with an indoor grow. We only get 14h22m max daylight is CPT. That is way less than say 18hrs of indoor gardening. Remember that flowering in non auto plants are triggered when daylight is less than 12 hrs .. so your vegetative window of daylight hrs is somehow limited (in SA) as when compared to indoor or from growers in northern BC where daylight hours are much more .. hence the plants grow more on a day to day basis. Watch youtube vids of Mendo Dope .. grazy stuff there. Also good educational stuff from them. They have a video called 'How t to grow Mendo Dope' .. a must see.

Good luck with this grow my friend and thank you for choosing our White widow XXL auto for this adventure 👊 Let's see what you can do with one of the biggest Autoflowering girls I have ever seen. Get ready the fun is about to begin 👍 All the best 🙏 Mark..
