    Recovery from early flowering

    In an excess of enthusiasm, I planted two clones (Frosting and Gelato) outside in Northern California in fabric 10-gallon pots on 4/20. I knew they would probably flower prematurely, but I did it anyway. And they have indeed flowered. So now it's mid-June, and I'd expect them to be...

    Anticipating Trellising Needs

    LAST SEASON I GREW ONLY AUTOFLOWERS FROM SEED. This time I'm trying nonautoflower clones and I'm not sure what to expect in terms of size. I'm growing outdoors in Northern California in 10-gallon fabric pots in slightly amended grow mix. One of my clones (In the pot for about 20 days now) is...

    Should I LST/FIM my outdoor clones?

    I'm growing clones in dirt in 10-gallon fabric pots outdoors in northern California — Cookie Glue, Chiesel, Frosting, and Gelato. My first time with clones, and I didn't realize that they grow with alternating nodes instead of paired ones. Each clone has 6-8 growing nodes off the main stem, but...

    Tiny Little Budlets

    So, I've got what I think is a sativa-dominant hybrid in a 5-gallon pot in Northern California, and I'm rounding the corner toward harvest (est.14–21 days). Colas are well developed. My question is, what about the tiny little growths below the main cola, with each node boasting a tiny flower...

    Short But Happy Life of My Ultra Lemon Haze Auto (Outdoor)

    Starting from a mere sprog (I germinate in the pot where the plant will live its entire life), my Ultra Lemon Haze Auto, grown in 'supersoil' of my own devising in northern California, didn't look like much at first. After about 40 days, it look like a bit more, but still just kind of a weed...

    Harvest Day: Ultra Lemon Haze Auto

    I started this grow 94 days ago in northern California, and today saw the first solid sign of amber trichomes. Breeder said 80-100 days, so that's not so bad. Genetics were stabilized Lemon Haze, Ruderalis for autoflowering and dwarfism, and some sort of faddidling to reintroduce Haze genetics...

    Is Purple a Problem?

    I have an Ultra Lemon Haze Auto growing in northern California at present, in a very sunny but protected spot. In response to the sun, the plant has gone deep purple, but is otherwise healthy as a horse. It's my opinion that purpling is no big deal, just the plant's natural reaction to abundant...

    What Am I Growing Here?

    This is my first season as a grower, and in addition to the seeds I got from seed banks in Europe, I had a few that showed up in a couple of batches of budlets that I got from the local dispensary. Whether they were the result of an inadvertent fertilization or the plant doing a hermie, I did...

    When They Say "9 Weeks," What Do They Mean?

    I've just started growing this season, so I don't have a feel for the duration of a complete grow. The breeders will list such specs as "flower in 60 days," which I've interpreted to mean "once it flowers, it will be 60 days 'til harvest." The few plants I've harvested so far followed this...

    I Never Seem to get Amber Trichomes

    So here I am, a newbie hobby/medicine grower in Northern California, cultivating autoflowers outdoors in 5-gallon pots. Since I started in March, I've had several 'successful' harvests, but have never seen a significant number of amber trichomes. So far I've brought three Jack Herer X AK47s to...

    Is this plant foxtailing/bolting? Should I care?

    I have a Dinafem x Critical 1.0 autoflower in an outdoor setting, 5-gallon pot in Northern California. It's at about 70 days from germination, about 42 days from first flower. Seed bank doesn't list a flowering period for outside, but says indoors should be 60-65 days. My question is, what's...

    Buddha Assorted What?

    I got Buddha Seeds' Auto Assortment, where all the seeds are unidentified. They are supposed to include 4 of Buddha's stars: Red Dwarf, White Dwarf, Diemos, and Syrup. Making up the rest are "in the market later or experimental hybrids." Sounds like fun. So I have the below plant, outdoors in...

    Spider Mites … or Spiders?

    I've been noticing little strands of webs on my plants (8 in a small grow area, all in 5-gal pots) and feared I had spider mites. However, it might be that I just have spiders. The grow area is surrounded by decorative vegetation and herbs, including one large Rosemary bush called "Spiderholme"...

    Foxtailing: Chop Now or Later?

    I have an auto Jack Herer x AK47 outdoors in Northern California, which is now at 98 days since germination. Being an auto, it flowered at about day 35, so I'm now at 63 days of flower. According to the seed bank, these should be done and dusted by now, even though I'm learning that sativas...

    Why Would You NOT Grow Autoflowers? — The Commitment-Shy Hobbyist

    I'm in my first grow since back in the dark ages, when it was really, really illegal and my seed stock was probably as potent as the Crate & Barrel rug I currently have on my front step. Now, of course, we have 21st Century genetics, and you can select from hundreds of different strains, each...

    First grow: Autoflower Jack Herer x AK47

    I LIVE IN A STATE that permits patients to grow their own medicine, so I decided to start a small outdoor grow. I HAVE A SUNNY BACK YARD with reasonable privacy and a profusion of other plantings — so it's hard to spot the medicinal ones among the flowers, shrubs, vegetables, and weeds. I'm...
