I'm almost at the exact same time frame from last years outside crop. Things have changed in a year: last year at this time: by harvest time 10/2103 married to an asshole divorced asshole growing weed secretly in a closet growing weed secretly in my own apt. getting busted and told to move on living beside a police station .....it can't get any better than that. This is what I have so far. Seeds that sprouted on April 14th have been planted in my organic compost mix that I got from the city. I took down my one little portable closet that had a single plant in it and transform(ing) one side of my closet to grow more seedlings that'll soon go outside.... somewhere!

Since I took these pictures, I've made a few changes AND my plants have really grown. Stay tuned.
Fast forward to now and this is what I came up with: Can someone please tell me if I should start sexing these plants now or is it too late? View attachment 138745 View attachment 138749 View attachment 138748 View attachment 138747 View attachment 138746 View attachment 138744
After I plant these 13 plants outside ... guess what I'm gonna start growing? View attachment 138752 View attachment 138751 They came in these "magic gloves" - ohhhhh, it's magic! I've never grown auto flowering plants before. I guess I'll try just about anything. I'm not sure what to do with those 3 monster crops. I don't know if I can grow auto's AND have another full crop in such a small space, ya know. I'll figure something out.
Give em hell MJG haha. You will be able to sex them about 5-7 weeks, you should plant around the first week of June and have your light about the same 15 1/2 hrs of light. 530-600 am
LONG OVER DUE UPDATE!!!! sheesh I was successful at sexing the plants thanks mostly to everything I read here in the city. Out of 13 plants, 5 were def. males... so out they went. I planted 8 female plants out and about / here and there ON Memorial Day. From this point, I let nature take over. Like my first crop, I'll wait a few weeks then go check it out, but I'm not going to stress about it. As for the 3 clones. I decided to wait for the auto-flowering experience until these 3 girls are ready to harvest. I couldn't stand the thought of sending them outside. These are special plants. My first attempt and monster-cropping and it worked!!? Go figure! I'll post progress pictures of the outside plants when I get 'em. ;-)
This sucks! I checked on a few of the plants that went outside in God's country, on some back road, and these 2 photos is what I brought back. From 2 different plants, from 2 different sites. I think, and I hate to say this but, .. I think I stressed 'em out too much with the whole "sexing your plant" experiment. I still have 6 more sights to go check out.

Not only males but you can see the single finger leafs. sure sign of going in and out of flowering. Also looking at your smaller plants in the closet. I see the claw leaf. when your leafs curl in like that or when they look like a claw it's a god sign of over watering. Remember MJ does not like wet feet. Did you kill the males in pics above?
This is my long overdue update (again) on one of my not-so-hot grows. I'm down to 3 out of 8 plants. Over Labor Day weekend, I confirmed 3 plants (not males) 2 are sorta strong looking and the third one, it's there, but not so big! I just have to wait to see if they survive about 1 more month outside..... we'll be approaching Autumn here soon. Coming Soon: Pictures of my 3 outside plants.
if I had a gal like you out here with me on the farm in Humboldt life would definitely be complete. We need more females repping the greenthumb like you. Your doing awesome big props.
Thank you Mr Richard Dean, thank you. The reason I haven't been posting so much over here is that I already have a few other grow journals going on at the same time ... bad idea for me. After this one and the other few are finished, I'll stick to just one grow journal.
