updated pic of my babies the rains have helped them get back up to speed growing they are all over 4ft now almost besides the LR but i wanted to see if anyone can give me some input i know she has about 2-3 weeks left..

What do you guyes think? How many more times should i feed her nutes
or give her molasses before i harvest? The others are still on High N diet but the rains are throwing off my feeding schedule since they get most their water now damn florida rain

I would say feed the diesel for about one more week and then let her go with just straight water. They look very nice by the way

Looking great man! I'd say top the two big ones to get some branching going on. I love to see auto strains do well outdoors and it looks as though you've done a great job with yours! +rep

thx you guys yea feels a little rewarding watching it grow and sayings its your owns but where do you think i should top them they seem pretty tall already is it too would it do more harm than good or is it still good time to cut the top off. as you can see that little pot there my first attempt at taking a cutting from one of the branches didnt work so well so i dont know if i should give it another go

Yessir, just take a sharp knife and cut it's head off. It won't do more harm than good, it will encourage the plant to bush out and will also cause it to have two main colas. You can also, at the same time, start a bit of training. It isn't too late. Grab it at the top, two or three nodes down and bend it until it starts to resist heavily, then use a stake and some yarn or similar to secure it in place. That will give more sun to the areas of new growth that you just created through topping.

There's also a surge in root growth after topping, so if you're planning on transplanting into the ground then I would do that first, and then wait a few days to top.

Never tried taking clones outside, I imagine it'd be a bitch.

Peace

haha yea for some reason the clone is still green but just plain droopy... but man the rain here doesnt look like it is going to stop for a whole week so I dont think I will get a chance to go out to them unless i can make it out early tommorrow im hoping that the diesel can make it till flowering with this heavy rain and have form no mold

but yes I will top.... should i top them about 2/3 the way up or just the very last set of node that have come out I know they still have about month or two before they begin to flower so im sure they will have enough time to heal

top them at the very top. If you go about 2 or 3 nodes down then that means less plant witch means less bud.

alright im up nice and early mid noon but omfg and anything else i can add to that... it has rain non stop for the past two days and well i found out the hardway my spot is a little flood zone. I went out to go check on my girls and they where 1ft under pot was completely submerged. probably not that bad for the tall skunks but my short lil diesel was almost submerged!!!!
there are alot of orange hairs and the plant is really sticky with some darker brown hairs i fed her for the last time today some molasses and orchid food which is actually high in P.... (long story i went out this morning and i think my parents found my bat guano bags and threw them out!!!!!) but i will be fine with the molasses and orchid food for now
It is just the other plants that I will need to go out and buy more nutes for again man what a bad start to the week lol
