Outdoor Autos - First Grow

End of week update. I flushed all of them this week and plan to go just pure water from here on out. I actually think they're responding really well to the flush as I've seen a lot of bud growth and development. I'll watch for deficiencies and potentially just add more Grow Big for a healthy soil boost. I also think I'll be shifting to FF OF soil for my next grow to see if it make a difference. I ended up cutting down my one Jack Herer showed itself as a hermie a couple of weeks ago. The grow was weak and the number of pollen sacs kept increasing to the point where I couldn't keep up with it. The Jack that turned into a hermie this week has a ton of growth already, so I'm going to keep it until harvest. It would be too big of a shame to toss two big ladies into the trash. The OG kush are coming along great! I think I could chop one of them whenever. The top of the main cola has quite a bit of amber, but I'm waiting for the lower portions of the main cola to develop a bit (no amber toward the bottom). The 2nd OG kush has a huge main cola - I'm excited for that one to keep coming along. The Bubble Gum are looking and smelling great as well. I'm hoping they speed up a bit so I can harvest soon and this doesn't drag into a 17 week auto like I've seen in some of these posts. ------- Mid-week update - will add photos and update this post this weekend. As these get closer to harvest, I flushed all 6 with a significant amount of water. One of my OG Kush is at the right trichome color to harvest and I'm planning to harvest this weekend. I flushed this one an extra time. I'm waiting because there are some less mature buds and I'd prefer to harvest at the same time. I'm also aware that this is my first grow and I'm probably over-eager, as opposed to late. For the Jack Herer - it's got some significant purpling going on. Even though I flushed and was planning on going pure water from here on out, I decided to add a feeding of Tiger Bloom just to this one plant to give it some phosphorous. Otherwise, things are the same. Buds are getting thicker; the Bubble Gum and OG Kush are looking great. The Jack Hermie is a big pain in the ass but looks like it has enough bud to keep limping it along. I'll pull the balls again this afternoon.
