cheers dude i just popped a skink #1 auto fem planning on popping a few more autos and growing in a greenhouse over the winter

Congrats...good yield. Those other plants I planted (~27) first after my initial grow happened to be some feminized autoflowers (kinda like I was hoping), they're doing quite well so far, but it's still nice and warm mostly, they'll probably be peaking right around mid-winter. Seems like zero effort compared to the regular plants. In the mean time...I still have to wait for this thing and another one to finish (week 33)... https://growdiaries.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com/static/post/photo/19262/1052458_continuation-of-first-growcustomsativa-dominant-hybrids.jpg

i think the lst done on sweetpea was the biggest stressor, the healthier plant had no lst. im gonna stick with just topping and maybe some light lst

yeah ive certainly learned a lot from this grow thats for sure. ill be doing some thing different next time! im thinking maybe theres so many leaves because i lost the fan leaves from pests. ive made so many mistakes but hoping my new grow will be more successful. my good plant while not perfect at least has really dense solid nugs so im excited to finally try her when shes ready. im gonna go easier on the lst next time, way more careful with nutes and pesticides and i will keep a closer eye on pests too. think i might get some auto fems going for the next grow, less time growing for me to kill them lol

at least i have learnt a valuable lesson for next time ay need to inspect the plants more closely next time!

see my photo i just added fucking scale dude praying to god i got em all took up my whole afternoon really hoping she recovers now she isnt covered in these blood sucking little parasites!!

ok i just had a really close inspection and found more mealy bugs and scale. i think that is def the problem obviously that pytethyium aint doing shit i def need to try something else. any ideas??

i have to say though that the unaffected branches actually seem to have had a growth spurt. almost as if the plant decided to suck the life out of those two branches for whatever reason. or the food supply just got cut off from them all the sudden. i smoked some and despite being early (the ones from last week) i was extreamly high in a very cerebral way like this shit had me paranoid lol i def wanna get more amber trics on her lol the taste was shit but shed only been drying a few days so i expect the flovours will improve with time was very smooth though

it was totally unexpected ay i did find some scale bugs which i picked off but i dunno if that was it. one of the branched was one that was damaged at the base months ago and that branch was barely connected at the base so could have been the lack of water getting through but the other was a central stem that started as an offshoot i have no idea why that one went. they both got way browner within 24 hours like they stood out instantly im like fuck no they are coming off right now! i cant find any pests on them either. super weird would love to know what happened there never had that happen before

i really hope its only gonna be a few more weeks! there is def more green and less yellow and the dying off seems to have slowed right down. its one way to get rid of sugar leaves i guess lol. they are def getting super sticky and smelly now they smell so damn good but yeah really wanna see way more trics before i consider havesting. i know from the parents they can fatten up a bit more yet. i reckon the bugs may have slowed growth down a bit. its really a challange growing outdoors organically ay
