After a relatively cool week last week mother nature decided to turn up the temperatures... we'll be pushing a dry 90 degrees for the next few days. Just keep the girls hydrated and we should be fine.
Retirement gives me more time to play with the girls, so I'm back to some tricks I used a decade ago moving plants around in my yard to maximize their exposure to direct sunlight. Basically I stick the plants in one end of the yard to catch sunrise and then I move them halfway thru the day to catch sunset. Not hard when using 5 gallon containers, which all my autoflowers are in. Now the 10 and 15 gallon containers I have my Amnesia's in - I don't move those - too heavy - but I have them on wheelies so I can move them short distances on the patio and rotate for pruning.
I made another experimenting decision with the autoflowers also. Of the 3 Lemon AK's... one was/is rather spindly compared to the other two... and I've decided to use a combination of LED lighting AND mother nature to assist in finishing her off. So of the 3 Lemon AKs - one is fully outdoors - one is fully indoors on 18 hour lighting - and the spindly girl is gonna get about 21-22 hours light/day combined..... just for comparison purposes. The Zkittlez will finish fully outdoors.
It seems the indoor girls have started stretching more than the outdoor girls. The Lemon AK's come in at 18" outdoors, 22" indoors, and 29" for the spindly sucker. The Zkittlez comes in at 21".
Transitioned to flowering nutes... running at normal recommended strength.

Do you sponsor growers? I would love to grow your genetics! Wanted to start my first Growdiaries Diary, I'm interested in lots of genetics.
When you wash your plants, what is in your washing water besides hydrogen peroxide and at what concentrations?
Also, your outdoor girls looked amazing, how many hours of sunlight per day did they have?
Thank you
