Fastbuds zkittles grow

So ya think start in large solo cup for 2 weeks? Growing them in the wild so will probably only go to them 1 or 2 times a week to feed but will do a journal, also debating on what to feed them ?

Hey all a question about growing autos outside! Never done it before so what’s the best way? Start in large solo cup for 2 weeks then out or what ? Found my spot today and has really good ground soil and sun all day. Was going to dig 3 gallon holes and fill with light mix to start them on the way.

Depending on your climate, I'd try and wait until the nights are over 50º, preferably over 55º. I start mine indoors in 1 gallon pots, I've found critters from slugs to small animals can eat or trample the babies so I hold them inside for about 2 weeks before I put them out. If your soil is good, then 3 gallons of top quality soil should suffice, if it's an area that has not been planted before or has mediocre soil, I would dig a much bigger hole, something akin to a 15 gallon pot.

My outdoor plants in the ground get to be 4-5 ft. tall, and need to be planted at least 3' apart to have room to spread out. I only get about 6-7 hours of direct sunlight a day, all overhead, and I average 6oz per plant. If you get more sunlight, you'll get more final weight. Depending on your weather, you might want to think ahead about ways to keep the rain off of them, especially towards the end when the buds are fat.

Time release nutes have worked for me for years. With photos, they worked indoors and out, with autos they worked outdoors but not indoors. I have found outdoor growing to be very forgiving, no issues with ph, no problems with over or under feeding them, somehow it just works.

Sorry to quote myself, just want to clarify -- it is forgiving when you grow in the ground. Outdoors in pots is something else.

The soil is like a natural compost and easy to dig so the roots will find their way into it no worries and I would have thought it is very fertile. Isn’t 1 gallon to big for the root to get established in a couple of weeks to transplant them ???

LOL... it's what I've done for years and it works for me, but I laugh because I acknowledge I don't know how much better it could be if I did it differently. Four plants at 6 ounces each can carry us for a year, so I don't have a lot of motivation to try and improve it.

Sometimes I keep them in longer, some springs are long and cold here, so they might stay in the 1 gallon pot for 3 weeks, I doubt it's been much longer than that. I try to time my plants to finish in late August, and work my way back from there.

Was going to put them out in mid may or early June

It’s all to do with humidity and light intensity. Indoor growing requires everything to be balanced perfectly due to the rate in which the plant grows/repairs itself. If there’s an imbalance it shows its face much faster than outdoors.

I was shocked at how healthy my plants were outside compared to indoors. Even all green indoors they never had this vibrancy that outdoor plants have. Yet I find you get better quality flowers indoors.

This is how I like my girls!

Not to sure if to a bit of light defoliation on her! What ya think?

Curious, how would you define "quality" in this context? Flavor? Potency?

Fair point. I found the outdoors stuff always had this particular outdoor taste? Hard to describe but was milder and more earthy.

Potency was the same but different - feels more dynamic than grown under MH/HPS

Do it.

Just ordered my Cinderella jack !

Here is my Cinderella jack from Dutch Passion on day 80 today. Small phenotype that flowered early but she has turned around and looks really good

I always find indoor/outdoor comparisons interesting. Thanks for elaborating.

How does she smell? Mine was straight up fizzy sour oranges. Interested to see if you’re smells similar?
