Still hot and dry conditions here in Eastern Canada. Farmers reporting smaller crops. I am still carrying water. Thankfully plants fairly close to house. My larger plant is 5 feet high and I am very proud of her. Worried about flowering as the 12 hour of darkness does not arrive till September 27. Boyfriends plants have begun to flower. Started as clones in the basement. All I know about them is that they are called R2. Very popular brand on black market around here. They were purchased as little sprigs from illegal grower. This type of weed is to strong for me to use with doctor prescribed medications I decided to cover the larger plant to reduce daylight hours. Boyfriend came up with idea of using old patio umbrella. I cover plant when I get home for work and uncover before I leave in morning. In about 5 days I could see signs of flowering. You will see that I used bamboo stakes to help support plants and spread the branches to allow light into center to plants. I also picked of the larger leaves once a week.

Grow Questions

How do I get more control over flowering start outdoors? In my location, the 12 hours of darkness begins September 25th. 😎 The average chance of frost begins September 15. This year it was earlier. Should I grow auto-flowers outdoors?

The technic to control the flowering is called light deprivation.... . The techinc means you give your plant earlier darkness, than the sun does. You can do it like... having your plant in pots, and take them inside after 12 hours, and back in the morning.... in the meantime they stand in a dark place. Or you have a growingtent, that you an close. Big mj "factories" build long tunnels for their weed, and in early evening they give darkness to their plants. This way they can harvest 2 times a year outdoors. Iam looking for pictures and add them in the comments

I have asimilar problem like you, i live in northern hemisphere and most times i have to harvest my outdoors earlier than i want to, because weather is going to be bad. You can do a number of things to do it bettr. Grow automatics... they are ready in 10-12 weeks. You can go with 2 harvests per year if you start your first grow indoors, and end the second indoors. Second : get strains that flower fster... many companie have strains they call " express" they have ashorter flower. Third look for genetics who start early... LIke durtch passions, Frisian dew, frisian duck and shaman... ive grow her this year,, have alook fourth...... Light deprivation... www.youtube.com/watch

Really sorry she got pinched. Unfortunately as others have mentioned, it's a common occurrence. I can tell you from experience though that it very likely was a friend or a friend of a friend. By the looks of it, you've got some land and the girls weren't sitting in a place easily visible by passerbys. I doubt someone happened to stumble upon them while trespassing on your property. Just some food for thought. Also, if you plan on growing again next year, I would definitely invest in a security camera and some motion sensing flood lights. Lots of other deterrents you could add also. Point being, you're now "marked" and the theif will likely come back next year. All that aside looks like you did a fantastic job on your first grow. You've got the knack for it!

@Mad_at_sun, Thank you for the encouragement.😃 I have been doing some on-line shopping for a game camera that does not have a flash or infra-red light. Don't want any light that would alert the thieves of its presence.

My next grow will be some of those express seeds. i got from RQS " candy kush express and Royal cheese " fst flowering" we will see... but most companies got fst flowring or express in their productrange https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/feminized-cannabis-seeds/223-candy-kush-express-fast-flowering.html Tehe end of your grow is sad. but i share your experience. In my first grows i had the smae... and one is for sure it hve been " Friends" that stole my weed. After moving to anther place, lots of things changed. Only my family knows about my weed. But iam every year released if i harvest my plants

@OnTheMoon ,, I am shattered for you... glad you got the bulk of the harvest,, but that’s not the point. You try to keep to yourself, do all the work and some dead beat thinks they are entitled to just take it. The lowest form of humans are thieves. The worst part is not the loss, but now you worry about growing next time, plus some dick was on your land while you were home. I love the hutch you built too. Hope you can get another chance to grow again because that one is a beauty

Sorry to hear about the thievery there. Panopticon is a fun game though (it's on quite a different level as those thievery games). Marijuana often has a way of reaching people who need it most, in unexpected ways...some "people" do get affected badly by it, just saying.
