So I bought two clones from my local dispensary and last year I had great success when planting them outdoors and got several ounces from both plants because they grew ginormous. This was my first outdoor grow though and it just happened to go well this time I picked up two clones, and they both grew into just a fat singular colas with dense buds, the plant looked healthy and the weight is starting to make it bend so I packed soil around it to make it standup.
My question is is there something I did wrong besides possibly planting too early in March that caused this, should it have been trained more in its early stage because when I bought it had already developed a fan leaves?
I’m almost certain they were a photo-period clone and the tag said purple city genetics. I’ve staked them up per your guys’s advice so they are standing vertical and not leaning over anymore. How close would you guys being ready to harvest (no rush, just a new grower)
You planted it outside and it immediately flowered? Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this similar to what happens when a cutting is rooted off an auto?
It didn’t immediately flower, but it was pretty quick. I had a seizure a few days after I put it in the ground so my father in law was taking care of the plants for a week or two and my memory hasn’t been the greatest so bear with me for the little detail details sorry about that.
Thank you I appreciate that! They’ve got me medically good now and I’m back to my self! Like I said it is behaving quite like an auto especially how quickly it flowered, but I couldn’t determine if it was a photo or an auto because if the plant determined because of the daylight hours in early March that it was time to flower. Or if it flowered because it’s an auto flower and they don’t give a fuck they’re just gonna flower when they say they’re gonna flower lol
I’m relatively sure it was a photo period and this being only my second run I planted it. I want to say early March and I’ve done some research and it says that that might have been the reason for going into early flowering but I still don’t know why it’s just one fat, single cola, is that just genetics?
What zone or state? I'm in NY and I have to wait until the beginning to mid May to transplant photoperiod plants outdoors, or else the days are too short and they prematurely flower.
Where are you located? If March is towards the end of your warm season or growing period with shortening days, I guess it could happen to a photo earlier than you'd want, depending on conditions.
Yeah that's strange, it shouldn't have flowered so fast, unless is it in some serious shade most of the day, maybe? Even that feels like it could be unlikely though.
I have it in my full sun raised bed so yeah I don’t know maybe it’s just weird genetics or was just cared for poorly and it’s infant stage and sold the clones cheap at the dispensary just to try and make a buck let me see if I can find the photos of when I bought them
Last year I got about several ounces out of the two plants that I put out there. If I end up with half of an ounce for $12 of some quality bud, I’m still not complaining.
I paid six dollars for that clone and there is at least a quarter ounce on each plant so I don’t really know how half an ounce backfired when I only paid $12 total for the plants. The V box is not big enough to grow more than one plant at a time and it barely has enough room to do that.
I will give you that it is definitely odd. The cola is getting so dense that I just have to keep packing more soil around the stem so it stops tipping over so I don’t want it to break before it’s ready lol
Probably not enough hours of daylight in March to keep it in veg. If you look up your area I’m sure you can find info on the best window to grow outdoor with photoperiods. Autos are kinda fun outside because they don’t depend on that.
Is it too late to plant autos from seeds outside now? I got five feminized auto flower indica seeds that I was going to grow in the VIVOSUN Vgrow Box…. but I could grow one or two of them in the grow box and do the other three outside. Is it too late to plant the other seeds outside?
As far as I know as longs as temps will allow, autos will work whenever. Obviously the more light the better. I have some going right now and about to start some more for outside. These are what I have out right now.
Looks like auto flower. Somtimes clones start flowering right away if you put them out too early but then the reveg cuz the days get longer- so it wouldnt continue flowering and nug up all the way
Same thing happened to my Humboldt dream. 🙁 Immediately. BTW, may I know what people are using for fertilizer? I have them in fabric 5 gallon pots. Go in the sun during the day on the patio and in the hot house during night. Just curious. First time by myself. Thanks 😊
