I'm wondering if I ought to put my stalled autos back into the greenhouse? So far not impressed with their growth rate. But i'm so use to photos seeing fast outdoor growth 2-3" a day now and will be growing faster now that the weather is warm and dry. I should of vegged them at least 6wks before going outdoors, oh well they are more of an experiment this summer. I'll do better next summer if I grow them outside. It's still early here in so.oregon could start somemore but my photos are my pride and joy and got enough planted. The 2 older well developed WW autos are doing great do to being under lights and tent for a month prior to sending them out to the greenhouse. Took a cut from one lower branch experiment, topped one and other is ahh natural. 2 GDP autos 1 Durban poison 1 sweet tooth are stalled just nursing them. Those are 50days old maybe 12" tall looking weak. I'm just giving them normal amounts of nutes, watering now till runs out the bottom of container and only every 5days as they aren't drinking much at all. I hope these snap out of their comas don't expect much at this point. I sure love the outdoor photos they are doing well not bothered much at all by the earlier temp fluxes. OJ that 3 month old auto that's deciding what it wants to do looks like mine but yours is bigger LOL I know if I put them back into greenhouse it would be a death sentence in a sweat house I will push them out of the infirmary mind you in 2 weeks hide them out in the woods and just go check on them as i'm not gonna waste my time with them. My photos are my pride and joy

Boy uncledoug that is a good looking plant the sour 60 I don't think it's foxtailing? But I wouldn't care if it was as it's near done looks like real good smoke.

Yes that's foxtailing. If it's a landrace sativa hybrid it can be normal.
Plants seem to be recovering well. Still need a couple days, but they already look much better. I wanted to start flowering my other plants, but still have two autos with about 2 weeks left. I feel like if the three photos keep growing they will be too large for the room unless I start now. I thought the largest plant was an auto (seeds got mixed up), but no flowers after a month and it's getting really big. Anyway, will it really affect my flowering autos by finishing under 12/12? I'm guessing it wouldn't matter and can move outdoors (very sunny) if that might be better
Here is a before and after of one of the sledgehammer affected plants and then one of the flowering ducks that I'm thinking need 2 weeks (60 days on 6.20).

Your autos wont produce as much under 12/12 but will finish just fine. If they can finish under real sun that would definitely be how I finished them.

Well not really a jungle just yet, but in a few months if all goes well. 12 photos of various strains, and a couple of clones planted in peat pots for future Bonsai mothers. Clones of Mother Russia of course. She is doing fantastic along with Tsarina.

the thing with autos that I found is everything has to be perfect right from the time they pop there heads up until chop time any little thing can and will stunt there growth,but they are fun to grow and supplement the photo grow
Last update I missed a few,,,here they are, the MIS went to a raised bed after taking the seed pods, the BB3 is starting to veg (finally), and the baby of the group a Headbanger Auto. I have a Widow Banger Auto soaking now, I'll put it in the raised bed also.
Does that look like enuf perlite for good drainage? This is a slice from a 55 gallon drum, I may come back with a drill and poke holes in the sides, so it breaths like a cloth pot. There is no bottom, it is open to the ground so the roots can go deep as they desire. (at least to the rock I live on)
I hope the ground dries a bit, but we have had several inches of rain in the last few days on top of all that we already had,,,, and the radar shows more headed this way,,,,,

My Green house sits on a section of ground that I built with big concrete blocks and it goes almost to the edge of the wall but it seems that when it rains it runs down the side and into the ground to the plants because I have only watered them twice since April when I put them out there never planed on it but ill take the self watering, my Quads are growing like gang busters and I do believe I will have a plant that is equal to m2 squared lol
Does anyone think there is a decent chance to identify this plant once it's finished? I know it's one of the strains listed below, but seeds got mixed (stealth shipping that I opened wrong).
Barneys tangerine dream auto, vip seed dwarf auto, fastbuds girl scout cookie, supercbd jack herer cbd auto or sensible seeds king in the north auto
It has a strong earthy stinky odor. At 3 weeks I moved it outside due to the odor. Started to see flowers much sooner than on my auto ducks (around 20 days vs 30).
Anyways, thought the plant looked nice and wanted to post a couple photos. I hope this is more of a typical result for the average auto. I keep thinking this one is special or doing great because of the size / age, but my only plants to compare with are the tiny little auto ducks. Wanted to keep height down and bent it like a candy cane which actually worked pretty well. Plant is about 35 days since germination.

so far it doesnt look much like a tangie dream or jack herrer, not that i know them so good but theyre both big stretchy sativas. once flowering gets really going youll be able to tell if its GSC just by smell and bud density/shape. never heard of swarf auto or king in the north but if you research them flavours and genetics youll be able to have a pretty good guess
Good to know, I really hope it's GSC. King in the north was a replacement. They were out and I just told them to surprise me, but it actually looks like a decent strain.

I have not had much reason to water (those that stay outside),, yet, though I did hit the clones with voodoo juice a few days ago, I hope its more than snake oil! IF things work, growing outside will save a lot of funds to buy better equipment for the winter grow!
The Widow Banger is about 12 hours old now! She went in soil yesterday and shot right up out of it. I have been a bit busy with real life shit (literally), but I now know where Moms drain line is and where the damage may be (rooter truck coming today), anyway the point is I did not check her, (the widow banger) and she had a 2 inch tap root when planted. Man am I tired,,,more worn out!
The little Headbanger has grown a tad, I hope these girls do well outside!
Once the plumbers get here and started, my plan is to work in the garden and catch up a bit.

I moved the fruit punch auto to the deck for the day. We've been getting a good solid rain for 3 days now. We really needed it since we were in a major drought. It's been 2 weeks since I fed her last and it was with my veg nute schedule. It's been showing some small flowers for about a week now. My question is should I feed with the flowering nutes even though the medium is wet since she hasn't had any food for so long or wait till the "soil" dries more? I'm not seeing any signs of deficiencies but I also don't want to start seeing them either.
