It's an adventure. I'm in Alberta, Canada so plenty of daylight hours, but not a great deal of heat yet. We'll see! Thanks!

Hi there! Why did you take such small pots? Your plants could have been much bigger. I grow my autos in 20L and 25L and next year I’m going for a bigger pot. The bigger the roots the bigger the harvest :) Good luck with your lovely plants. Feel free to check out my diaries 👍.

@Greengoddess, Np. Bigger pots are generally better, but I mean...depends on if you need to carry it, space, etc. Definitely consider using wider rather than deep pots (if you can) though. Like 2:1 width to depth ratio instead of 1:2 width to depth.

Greengoddesscommented5 years ago

@@Ssomeguy,Hey, thanks! Well, everything's going pretty well so far, so I don't want to jinx it. But I'll know for next time. In fact, I just sprouted my next batch of seeds, so Ahoy, more adventure ahead, in bigger pots! Thanks for the help, appreciate it.

Ssomeguycommented5 years ago

@Greengoddess, Since he didn't answer and I didn't see this, I'll answer for future reference. You could probably have transplanted them 2 weeks ago, without much issue. However since they're autos any sort of recovery time can mess with yields. You could technically transplant some of them now even, but it's slightly risky. If you have some that are say, fairly early in flowering it might be worth it. Hard to say. So essentially, try not to transplant autos (but you can if you have to, if they're younger) and use your final-sized pots to begin with. Personally I would go for around (at least) 15-25 liters, wide-ish rather than deep pots. Anyway, best of luck!

Looking good, I’m doing the same kind of low stress training. As long you didn’t break any branches of they aren’t going to stress to much. Good luck 👍

Damn those are some beautiful outdoor grown plants! The pictures taken with the sun and woods is just outstanding! Big buds are coming along nicely also. Great work. Will follow this as I'm also doing 3 strains by CKS. Happy growing!

@Greengoddess, no kidding. We have had crazy erratic weather this summer. Numerous severe weather and tornado warnings. Tough to know what to do. They’re looking great tho.

CanuckVetGrwrcommented5 years ago

@Greengoddess, Dame here also. Been alot of thunder storms because of the humidity, and temps in Ontario lately. Mine are slightly behind and recovering from a slight pruning and overwatering but hoping they will get back on track with growing.

@CanuckVetGrwr, Thanks! Probably would be bigger but I'm thinking pretty good for not doing much beyond compost. I've had to bring them inside on a few nasty, rainy, cold nights.

Well done you. 😎👊🏼 Go for it. That's the only way to learn. If you need any help, just ask. not that I know lots, I'm only on my 2nd grow. But this community is really great. Plenty of fantastic people with great knowledge that they dont mind sharing. I take it this is your 1st grow? 😎✌️🏼

@Greengoddess, I had spider mites about 10 days from cropping my 1st grow. It was like an OMG moment or 20. But I went on to crop pretty well. Cannacure is my number 1 for mites and other, plus protects against mold and good for foliage. 😎✌️🏼

Looking good. I have a bunch of random autos in similar sized pots (9-10l) too. They also look sort of similar in size, but a couple of weeks older? Not entirely sure. They were pretty low priority after I found out they're autos, and I messed with them before I know they were autos. Topped/fimmed a bunch of them AND they were transplanted like 3 times (luckily fairly early, but still, not ideal), very similar sort of sizes to yours except for a couple that were stunted a bit, and a couple that stretched a bit. Also, they had to grow through the middle of winter (which they did)...but they still have a few weeks to go. The difference between the size of my autos in 10l pots and my friend's in 20l pots though is rather large. As usual, best of luck!

@Greengoddess, Well, you'll get significantly better yield/results with larger pots. It's not just that in smaller pots the plants are smaller, they literally are crappier, they need more nutrients, etc. It's actually less effort in larger pots (with respect to watering, nutrients), too. So yeah, that'll be a nice improvement.

@@Ssomeguy, Thanks. Mine range in size from 12 - 24 inches and all in different stages of flower. Leaving on holidays in a couple of weeks, hope I can harvest by then, but I think I"ll have some that won't be ready, will have to recruit a bavbysitter. Quite a variety. I've also started my next batch of Early Miss. I'll put them in bigger pots...

Looks like, odd. I hope you broke them off. Other than that they look good!

BarrieGrowercommented5 years ago

@Greengoddess, I think (not really sure, haha)the worst thing might be lower yield and seeds in the buds. Then end up with a bunch of free seeds for future grows.

Greengoddesscommented5 years ago

@BarrieGrower, no harm, no foul. At least you didn't tell me to throw the plants out!

@Greengoddess, Spraying your plants down with cold water (just do it somewhere away from where you actually grow your plants), certain kinds of plant oils, etc also work to remove mites. Should be fairly simple to do with those plants at that sort of age. And the rainwater PH might not be anywhere near as neutral as people might think, but I'd still recommend it, too. Best of luck!

Greengoddesscommented5 years ago

@Puffer_Bill, So far have been running around moving them from East to South windows as the day progresses. And, for this week the weather has been nice, so putting them out on the South facing deck. Cooling off for the rest of the week though.

Hopefully the fan is a soft one. Else it will dry too quick and lose some smell. Or that's IMO. Congratulations on your first harvest. 🍾🌲🌲🤸‍♀️🌲🌲🚜👩‍🌾

Greengoddesscommented5 years ago

@Puffer_Bill, Yeah, it was. I felt I had to do that because it has been sooo rainy. Humidity at almost 70% every day lately, so I was worried about mould. Very unusual for this part of the country. Thanks!😃

Looks like its going good. 😁👍🏼 Any rain water to catch? That's supposed to have neutral PH. 🌱✌️🏼

Ssomeguycommented5 years ago

@Puffer_Bill, Rainwater PH varies heavily depending on area and circumstance. JHB rainwater, for instance, has PH just over 4 on average. But, PH can be quite misleading and imo really doesn't mean as much as people think. I mean, yeah, if you're using a controlled hydro setup, that's different.
