Outdoor 2019

It didn’t grow very tall before switching into the flowering stage. It gave 1 large central cola and 4 small branches with decent sized nugs. Just near harvest I had a summer trip planned and I had to leave my plants behind for two weeks. Just before I left it seemed almost ready for harvest but could go on for a bit so I left it behind and asked a friend to come and water my plants for me. Unfortunately the weather was really hot but it also rained quite often so the part of the plant showed signs of botrytis. After all it was my very first grow so I didn’t expect to have a huge yield on that plant but the bud rot bummed me out but it teached me a good lesson early on so I don’t make the same mistake with the four feminized plants I still had in my garden. I still ended up trying to recover what I could of the plant and got about 15g of smokeable flower. What I think I could’ve done (except planning early on to be home when your plants are flowering) is a bit of LST to increase the yield. If you guys have any tips for growing autos outdoors I would love to get some returns. So if any experienced outdoors growers seeing this it would be great to get some advices on how I can improve my outdoor auto grows.
