OK automate - I do have a pet sitter coming to take care of my cats, and she will water in the greenhouse, but I'm not sure I want her to see what I'm growing. Then again, when I go away the end of April, she'll be taking care of my crop of summer seedlings which I grow next to tomato seedlings...

Thanks for your reply. I'm going to guess they've been flowering about 4 weeks - there's another smaller plant in front of this one that looks a little bit ahead of the bigger one. As is normal with my summer outdoor plants, the tops are more orange than further down and more are pistols are...

I am obviously not an indoor grower, but I did try starting some autos back in December with a pretty paltry result. However, I did put up some better grow lights and the plants have definitely picked up. Now my dilemma is that I'm going on a trip from March 23-29 which is less than 2 weeks...

OK thanks - I use it full strength when I see pests on my orchids but those are very different from cannabis. According to what I just looked up on google a mixture of 1 part alcohol (70%) to 2 parts water should work. I'll probably dilute the alcohol even more - I can always try a stronger...

I have two autos growing in my greenhouse and they both have thrips. Can I kill them with alcohol or would that do damage to the plants? Thanks in advance!

OK thanks - that's good advice!

Thanks for the kind words and for that great advice! I can't see any bugs but I will definitely give that a try. I even have citric acid in the house - I use it in my gummy recipe. But question - would alcohol work? When I see mealy bugs or aphids on the orchids I spray/wipe with alcohol and it...

That looks delicious! Enjoy! I'm not well educated about auto flowering plants, but the info here has been very helpful. Maybe I'll try again next winter. In a few weeks I'll start my photo period plants - in the greenhouse - and grow them outdoors as I do every summer.

You can't see the autos from this perspective - they're at the front. All the other plants seem to like the growing conditions.

I think the picture kinda speaks for itself. There's snow outside and I never heard of a strain of cannabis that can grow in sub freezing temperatures. It's greenhouse glass, so it lets in more UV than regular glass, but if you want to hammer your point that the plant is growing in "a window"...

Thank you! The harvest was a lot of work but well worth it! I was only hoping to get an ounce or so from the autos to make some tincture. I've gotten into making gummies and I found a great recipe on YouTube if anyone is interested.

That's not a window - that's my 800 square foot greenhouse.

Thank you for weighing in. Interesting references to skirts and bikinis. The temperature in my greenhouse is usually in the mid 70's-80's during the day, 60 at night, but the upper sashes are on a thermostat and when the sun hits them they can open even on a cold day. That's worse for my orchids...

OK thanks - you're referring to the white flecks. I was curious about that, although I can't see anything on the underside of the leaves, but it doesn't seem to be bothering the plants at all. Thank you for that explanation. I just got a better light that I'm planning to use in a few weeks when...

I am new to growing auto flowering cannabis. Tried a few plants on my patio over the summer and was kinda amazed by how they grew and flowered all at the same time. However, I did not realize that they should not be potted up, which I did do and I was advised that that's why they were so little...
