hey everyone here some babies that have been outside in Alaska under about 20 hours of daylight for about 13 days. Strains are Smurfberry and il diablo started germing them on the first so the oldest one is like 27 days n the youngest two n a half weeks maybe. This my first time growing autos outdoors in Alaska let's hope it's as epic as I hear

Looking forward to your info.Coming soon!!! I have pics showing different stages of flower, and will detail the grow/smoke in a journal (I learned a lot about autos and the great outdoors, plus I have some anti-bug, deer, stealth grow tricks...) and post a bit here as well after the grow. Sketching right now though...lol.
Too much sampling.+ me=
. oof. Todays lesson: don't pluck off a side cola and eat it like a salad. Mommy!

Thanks for the reply - sorry to take so long with pics - sorry about quality, I took them baked on the phone cam just know.
The environment they have been in since start: under no lighting, in a heated propagator under the dome at a constant 82 F / 28 C
They are just know starting to get their first set of true leaves at day 5 except for the freak in question - so here is what the others look like - they are know about 1.5 inches in height
And here is the freak I'm wondering about:
Sorry about picture size and quality
Forgot to mention they will be potted into soil later today and left out of any lighting until they are one week old - so this coming Sunday, and will then be place in a tent under either 125w 6700k blue envirolights - CFLs or a 400w hps, I'm undecided on the lighting right now

start under the cfl then move them under the hps after about 2 weeks.. keep the cfl in too with the hps if you can..
the freak... well i've never seen that before... haha... heard lots of people complaining about auto's taking a long time to show sex... but never heard anyone complaining that its too early like i said my pineapple showed sex very early too about 1.5 weeks but she was bigger than that and had some true leafs already.. she kept showing sex for about another 1.5 weeks (but not flowering - just small pistils in a few places) and then eventually started flowering properly after that...

Here is a quick pic of the girls at dawn, dew-kissed and smokin' hot.
Left to right, 3 gallon containers, pic 1:
1. Paradise Pandora 61 days, 26"; This one just keeps swelling and swelling; six secondary colas have formed, all 14"-20"+ tall; LST'd her.
2. Paradise Pandora 61 days 18"; Failure to launch on this one; might be the pheno, could have been stress, but was always slower.
3. Short Stuff Blue Himalaya 57 days 12"; She has had large calyxes since week two of flowering, short side colas. This is going to be a resin monster.
4. Buddha Seeds Syrup 57 days 16"; This one smells dreamy, like overripe fruit. This is going to be candy.
5. Buddha Seeds Red Dwarf 57 days 18"; Skunk genes strike again with a nice short, wide-as-it-is-tall shrub; great thick side colas. She has impressed me.
Pic 2 Pandora #1. I thought she was stretching too much due to the Sativa genes and heat, but man o man is she filling out with no gaps on the stems whatsoever; sexy curves.
Given the first 7 weeks of their life the temps were in the 90's to 100's, these autos are doing well. They are very sensitive to stress and they do want nutes. A lot of people say not to use too many nutes due to the fast growth and short veg time of autos (plus easy to nute burn), so I used very little. Once the girls started to turn pale green and stopped growing at week 4, I gave them 1/2 dose of bloom and three days later all darkened and had a growth spurt, no nute burn. So I kept up the nute regimen for the last 4 weeks and it has paid off.
Last, note the bird netting that I put over the girls. It keeps deer from being able to bite the plants (deer used to be my worst enemy; I have witnessed them on several occasions shy away from the netting like it is a spiders web). Grasshoppers land on it and go crazy like it is a spider web, and will not go through it (usually). Also keeps birds off of the plants (danger here is the care package they leave on your bud - "you mean I'm smokin' bird shit?"). Even better, it breaks up the outline of the plants from a distance, great for stealth.
Peace out and happy growing!

Looking great bro. I keep hearing positive reports with this Pandora. Solid strain so far in my opinion. I was a little concerned about stretch too but they both filled out nicely. I pulled almost an oz dry from one of mine. Other one will be coming down tomorrow hopefully.Here is a quick pic of the girls at dawn, dew-kissed and smokin' hot.

Quick update. It is absolutely amazing what the sun can accomplish in one day. Had cloudy, rainy weather for 7 days with little direct sun, meh trich development. Today the sun beat down on them unshaded, with trich and resin production having exploded! Mmmm, sweet THC sunblock protecting our ladies from UV radiation. 
Pic 3: Left stressed Pandora, center Blue Himalaya, right happy Pandora. Harvest in 14 or so days (75 total).
Pic 4: Blue Himalaya, day 57, trichs: 50% clear, 40% cloudy, 10% amber; pistils still only 33% brown. Harvest in 3-8 days. Anyone grown this outdoors? 60-65 days is stupid fast, but I'm not gonna complain since she is getting frosty and I am jonesing!
Pic 5: Red Dwarf, day 57. Nice 14" x 14" shrub. Skunky! Trichs 80% clear; Harvest??? Anyone else wanna chime in on this one from personal experience?
Thanks for the input everyone.
peace.
I have to say this is getting exciting. Weeeeee!d.

Hey all i'm sure it's been asked many times before but is there any general signs for when to start feeding auto's flowering nutes? I've got two pineapple express auto's at almost 4 weeks, already seem to be developing multiple budsites at about 18cm tall, any general tips or ideas? If they keep developing at this rate i'm thinking pretty soon?
