Outdoor autos, zone 8, mixed strains, first time grower

Hello friend , I took them outside from week 3 onwards when they were strong enough , temperatures ranged between 8-25 day and night and they turned out fine . The ruderalis gene really makes them resistant . Also , protect them from strong winds and you should be ok

It is starting to flower, It might still stretch a bit but not a whole lot. Autos can be stressed into early flower by a lot of factors like over fertilization or HST, They seem to be more prone to reactions to the root zone aka no transplants. They can also do this all on their own and sometimes veg for 7 weeks before going into flower and at that point it would be better to just grow a photoperiod. One note on transplants some can do it so gently that they do not react, It just easier to not do it and avoid any potentinal messup. Maybe try photoperiods next or a different strain of auto that can take a bit more abuse. I had descent sized plants with FastBuds mexcian airlines outdoors one year. I even accidentally topped it once and it worked out well. I was not a fan of the buds profile, taste, high, looks, but i am picky and do not like crazy high THC strains. Other I gave it to did like it. to each their own. Good Luck!

Anthocyanins, is a flavonoid that are found in cannabis, they are the resson buds turn purple color. Some strains produce more Anthocyanins than others. Looks like your plant is going to be a purple plant. I hope this helps.

They'll yield something, might even grow a little bit bigger, but it's not going to be substantial. In all honesty, autos are a poor choice for a first grow. Every "oopsy" adds up and the timetable an auto runs on makes recovering from mistakes challenging. Photoperiod plants give you more wiggle room to learn, though outdoors you don't have the total control of their change like you would indoors. For your next batch of autos, here's a few tips to maybe help you find better results: 1. Your hours of daylight have been too low. Outside I know that this is out of your control but help it as much as possible by eliminating shading on your plants. Give them as much uninterrupted light as possible, usually along a wall isn't the best spot unless it's south facing. While they're still small enough you may even want to consider bringing them inside at night for supplemental lighting. 2. Get better pots. Terracotta pots are great for houseplants but awful for cannabis. Houseplants don't feed nearly as heavy as cannabis does and those types of pots don't drain well enough for frequent watering, so your plants usually end up starved or overwatered. 3. Don't be too hard on yourself. Growing weed isn't as intuitive as growing tomatoes. Knowledge isn't as widespread and different sources are often conflicting in their advice. While learning the ropes, locate a source of info that you can trust. I'm a big fan of growweedeasy.com, good info presented in a way that's easy to follow that's scaled to fit about any skill level.

Everything looks fine. There is no sense in cutting something. You would cut: 1. Lower Leavess not getting light 2. Upper Leaves that take to much light for others ,but you dont have those. The structure is good, just the size is bit small
