The gals are coming along. I've been checking on them at least twice a day and watering as needed.

Not too much different this week. Just watering as needed - usually once a day. Then they are a little larger I’ll probably slow that down and let them dry out a little to try to get the roots as deep as possible. It is really cold here this week (-37c this morning) so the garage is feels dryer and cooler than usual. I bumped up the garage heater to 22c to keep the gals a little warmer.

I added a couple lights to try getting the most I can out of these gals. I am also trying my hand at LST for the first time ever. Just on plant #2 though. I am curious to see the difference between the two.

I have been turning on additional lights this week and as I did the temperature in the tent rose to around 35c. It took me a couple days to catch it.

Nothing new this week. Still just watering as needed and keeping an eye on the temperature since the lights will heat up my tent if I'm not careful.

These gals are currently 10' - 11' tall (shorter than I would have expected, (but... I have never grown Candy Cane Auto's before so not sure how tall they get anyway). I top-dressed with some worm castings this week and I am still just watering as needed.

They look like they're getting close to done to me, But they should have another 2 or 3 weeks to go. I guess I'll keep a close eye on them in the coming days.

I still can't believe how small these gals are at only 9 and 10 inches tall. Not sure if this is a normal height for auto's or not. On the plus side, I think the buds are some of the largest I've grown in my short time doing this.

First smoke of this stuff was good. It's got a sour / fruity smell to it (which I like). The trip was relaxing and it helped me sleep. I tend to get dry mouth pretty bad, but I didn't notice it with this Candy Cane at all.

Despite their short stature, I was a little surprised by the yield. I thought both plants produced reasonable amounts of bud even with my mistakes. Plant 1 had some seeds in it, which I will attribute to the stress of being too hot for a couple days. Live and learn... I'll do better next time. :-)

This is my first attempt at growing an auto-flower. I tried one of these outdoors last summer but it got smashed by hail about 2 week in.
