MindFlowers68 This is my first time trying auto flowers outside and my first year doing outdoor. I planned to start these a lot sooner because I have photoperiods outside an want to harvest these in well before they are ready so i can squeeze an indoor cop in mid-late summer while maintaining only 4 mature plants at any one time but the weather in my area was not cooperating the best. So I had to resort to making domes with lights for my pots because i wanted to go right into the final 30 gal pots and couldn't move them. And taking them on and off as needed to keep them from freezing or cooking.

MindFlowers68 It was a bit of a rough week for the auto flowers outside as it was still very cold for this time of the season at night in the 40's some nights so I had to cover with a humidity dome with low powdered LED'S to make of for the heat and light loss for cool overcast days. They were given a low dose of liquid kelp and cal-mag.

MindFlowers68 Weather was a bit more favorable for the plants outside and I was able to remove the humidity dome setup. Also got a first feeding of Boogie Brew compost tea. Had a few nice days of good direct sunlight and a decent rain I did not have to water this week other than the tea.

MindFlowers68 Everything looks okay. These are a few small bug holes but looks like whatever started to eat it stopped and has left it alone. We got a little bit of rain but i needed to give a nice solid watering once this week. Added another tank on my deck close to them to make it easier and a timer to save some power and not burn the motor out.

MindFlowers68 I only fed my cal mag and kelp solution once and the rain took care of the rest it was a pretty rainy week. We also had some high winds to deal with but by the end of the week she has show some nice growth. This coming week should see some nice growth as lots of sunny days.
