KanOrganics Umm, well, I'm not exactly sure how this happened, but the stem split into two tops without touching it.

KanOrganics I harvested this plant today, but I didn't get any pictures. Will update after drying. I originally started 12 autoflowers outdoor, 4 per 18-gallon tote. This was an experiment I really wanted to try that I will now explain. I live in a very humid and very hot climate, coupled with lots of rain in early spring and late summer. I have been growing outdoors for 22 years, but the last 5 or 6 have been almost a complete loss due to the increasingly worse climate. Photoperiods rarelyever succeed, while autoflowers usually do if started early enough. So, this experiment was to see how well 12 autoflowers do without any work by myself. That's right -- these plants were not maintained at all. No water, no pruning, no fertilizer, just good soil, plenty of sunlight, and rain. In fact, the only work I did after sowing them was take pictures for you all. The results: Out of the 12 autoflowers growing outdoors: 2 got eaten during the seedling stage. 2 ended up being male (a few of these plants were regular seeds) 1 died mid-flower. That leaves us with 7 I just finished harvesting. And of these 7, they all look very good. Which is excellent considering they didn't get any additional inputs or work from me. I'd call it a major success. It'd be even more impressive had I used all feminized seeds. It sure beats all the work I have done over the last 5 or 6 years to try and save plants from this horrible weather, only to be met with a more than 95% failure rate. I'll have to use this set-it-and-forget it method with autoflowers in the coming years.
