Thanks Smokey, the sad thing is that most of these girls were born/germinated around 4/20 this year. Pretty said that I couldn't get them out earlier, but this summer has been crazy.

And thanks for answering my question, I've been saying this entire thread that there is minimal branching (I'm sure the pics really helped show this). But I think at least a few of them may finish.

Will keep updating with pics and such.. Thanks!

another thing I do for my late outdoors.. honestly. is if u go from 24 hours of light.. str8 outdoors.. late. ull start flowering usually right away instead of vegging then flower.. so honestly. I put them out around 8/12 say.. ill pull down the nice quick ones.. 10/7-14 probably.. mostlikely will be purple kuz temps are getting low at night .

Thanks KO, lucky for me my plants didn't go outside from a 24hr light cycle.. Before I put them out, they were growing in my windowsill since they were germinated for a few months, so they were pretty much matched to the natural light cycle..
Most of them started showing pre-flowers, just before I put them outside.

Gonna check again today or sometime this week, maybe some more pics

Haven't gotten out to the spot since I took those last pictures.. I hope they're making good progress! We've been getting a lot of rain this month ( :( ), but I'm gonna try to get out there in the next couple days.. Also gonna give them some bloom nutrients (Fox Farm's Tiger Bloom, and a little BIG Bloom), when I get to them

Last time I took those pics - I gave them some of FF's Tiger Bloom, & some GROW BIG to supply some nitrogen to the early-flowering plants.. BUT, I forgot that the soil that I transplanted them into about a week earlier, is organically fertilized and already has some Nitrogen in it!!
.... I hope I didn't burn my little girls!!! :eek: Some of them are really small too

oh man.... idk where ur at but here it is getting cold (good cold) further north i hope it doesn't get too cold too soon.... ull probably get some premature stuff... fluffer nuggets... but it will smoke, taste good, and smell good.. and u can always turn it into oil.. thats the fun, chaotic time... rushing to process it all before it's too late

Yeah you're right, I might have to cut them a little pre-mature.. I'm around 43N , and we have some near-frost lows coming this week, only near the middle of September - suppose to get down to like 38°F tonight, and the lows for the rest of the week are low 40s-upper 30s.

This really sucks since this is the only year I've put girls out this late. Who knows, maybe I'll get lucky and have a nice, sunny & warm October the entire month, and into Nov.!! With all the rain, cloudiness, and some cold we've had the past couple months; the crops deserve it.

Going to get pics sometime the next couple days

Sorry guys, these past few weeks have been crazy. I also misplaced my digi-cam and haven't had time to look for it, I'm gonna look now and try to get some pics up by tonight..

I'm really slacking this year, I only gave them 1 dose of bloom nutrients about 3 weeks ago, and all the plants were really behind than - most just spitting out their 1st hairs.. They were about 2-3 weeks behind schedule, they usually start flowering here around mid-August..

I should've gotten out at least 1 more time in the past few weeks to give them another dose of bloom nutrients (Fox Farm), which hopefully would speed up flowering.. And K.O., I agree with you.
.... Although if I was looking at a larger harvest, I'd probably be more scared of losing it to frost/bud-rot/mold, and more likely to bring them in early.

PICS!

PICS!

Wow, my biggest girl definitely went through quite the transformation, since being put outside these past few weeks - look at those amazing fall colors!! And nice Pink hairs!
:D
Unfortunately, about 4 or 5 of my little girls appeared to have been Ripped.. I spread out the plants in 2 different spots, in the same area of woods. And the 1 spot looks like it was compromised, all 4 or 5 of (my smallest) plants are gone, no trunks/stems or anything left behind.

I spotted another male at the other spot, next 2 the bigger colorful plant. It only had 1 pod of male flowers, hopefully it didn't pollinate anything.

.. I think the big 1 with PINK hairs, is the only 1 that has a chance of finishing on time. The others are so tiny and far behind anyways

So I'll be LUCKY to get an eighth total from this sad grow, hah.. I'm predicting around a 2 gram harvest.

your risking so much for just some measly 3 grams? wtf bro what happens if you get caught? is a couple grams worth it?

Well I didn't plan on such a small harvest when I started things last spring, JointedOne.. This summer got really crazy, and I neglected a bit. I even almost just killed them all at one point; but I figured that would be rude to the plant, and I should at least try to get them outside to do their thing. This will be probably my smallest harvest ever though.. thanks for the feedback

At least I got to see the crazy pink hairs & purple leaves, on my biggest plant. I've never seen hairs this pink up close, let alone on my own plant!! You guys should really zoom-up on Pic #5, of the last 7!

Well we've been getting some rain the past week or so, but this month has been surprisingly warm so far!! It got up to 80F around here yesterday, which is very rare for this area in October!! Now I just need to hope for no rain til harvest
:)
What if there was some weather phenomenon and we don't get a frost until mid-Novermber! hehe

Got a couple more pics tonight of the Purple/Pink-haired one, she smells really skunky and very pungent.. Pink hairs are fading, but the purple is packing on. I could only get a few pictures, and tried to get macros but couldn't because I went out at night this time..

I misplaced my digi-cam again, hopefully I didn't drop it in the woods! :eek:
... I'll post the pics up again probably early tomorrow afternoon, if anybody still cares to see

I'm somehow down to only 4 plants, unless I lost 1 or 2 of them.. I should get around a quarter ounce or so I'm guessing dry total, maybe slightly over/under.
