I'm having a stunted outcome from this year. 2226 shows five of five sprouted Gorilla Bomb (started end of April) after first re-potting not done till 5/30 due to impossibly slow growth I think from the unrelenting cloudy days and cool weather for here. (50's to 70's and NO sun VS. normally 60's thru 80's and tons of sun) 2230 shows the one of TEN white widow sprouts (started March 21st) at it's final repotting that same date. The late start of the GB due to the poor sprout ratio on the WW. 
Here's the WW on 6/11 
and here's the GB on 6/11 Note already flowering and this is a full term plant not an Auto. 
and here on July 19th 
and here on 8/16 HARVEST DAY for the Gorrila Bomb only about 15 to 18" tall but HEAVY. Tried this for the first time last night. INDEED, THE BOMB! Yet so small! Me thinks its the long cold spring and the late start due to the poor sprouting ratio of the White Widow. Which is at least a month or more off from harvest right now as is a Pineapple Haze auto I started because of the lack of plants and volume. No other troubles so far this year, knock wood. No bugs and no disease's. I think the tea recipe and the whole "feed the soil, not the plant" philosophy to breed beneficial fungus in the soil along with my new 17 gal planters should have made for a record. I think only the long cold spring can be to blame. I've never caused any shock from replanting before. Although, this years use of Auto's due to the bad photo period sprout brings me to the discussion about repotting Auto's ...but better leave that for another letter. Just wanted to hear of anyone else had a similar experience. Isn't that what ultimately we all want to give some closer to our paranoia over what we've done wrong? A very strong outcome, yet in miniature! 15" of Dynamite!
