Jock Horror autoflower in my mini green house

Still no nutes needed so far, still green and lush as heck. Since I haven't stitched them around it'll help, the 1 plant on the LEFT has more than compensated itself after topping it but the RIGHT seems to have been stunted or its topped limbs are growing in from the next set down. I'm thinking the next batch of these I do outside wont be in the greenhouse. Mostly because I can see how a lack of breeze/wind has made for some weak branches to support the soon coming buds.

Weather has been a little crazy lately, yesterday was 71 and the day before was 85 and just before that was 91. I hope such fast changes wont affect them too much...

All is still going great with these 2, finally the 1st sign of flowers on both as well. Thankfully my fears about them not autoflowering have all been put to rest. As I've read in other journals the jock horror does get quite lengthy. The stronger of the 2 has grown so tall it's within 6" of the top of the greenhouse.

Tried plugging my phone into my comp to upload some really low resolution pics but I guess the phone is also beyond my computers capabilities too

After the long battle of pic messaging, forwarding to email and then save to my comp. My phone only has a 3.2mp camera but its better than nothing. I've barely had to give them any nutes. Just 1/4tsp of veg nutes and a tiny bit of bio weed(kelp emulsion).

And without surprise my neighbors across from me had about 15 squad cars and cops all down the block. Even came up to the vary fence my plants are sitting behind to ask to borrow the ladder. I think they were looking for serious drugs or something, but it's always over them drunk and fighting

This my 3rd year growing and 3rd time growing auto's. I've heard a lot of bad rumors surrounding Nirvana's autoflower selection lately so I'm crossing my fingers. I got this sweet little greenhouse Biglots had for just $20.

Medium-FF Happy Frog, lightened with 4/1 ratio of Vermiculite
Pots-2x 5 gallon buckets with 8 1/2" holes drilled for drainage
Pesticides/Fungicides-NEEM Oil and Safer brand sprays

What I've learned about growing autoflowers is that you need to get them into a large pot early on. As they grow to the size of their environment, so the larger the pot, the greater the yield
Dude I had that green house and I was pushing 90* inside at 9am and about 120* by 12pm..how are they holding up because i couldn't grow anything in there. Not to mention I used coco-coir for a grow medium which proved fatal with the amount of humidity in that thing..they all just fell over :(

I haven't actually recorded what the temps get like in the greenhouse. but having started these both on my front porch they aclimated properly while they were young. Also for the last 20 days since it got in the upper 90's to low 100's i put some window screening over the greenhouse to defuse the intensity of the sun, plus when i started seeing the 1st signs of it starting to autoflower I pulled and let the flap open to not trap all that humidity.

Well the house I'm renting is backwards. The front of the house is the back yard/door and the back of the house is the front yard/door. So when I said the front porch I meant the back side of my place, completely out of sight of the 5-0. Sorry to scare you lol!

This morning I took them both out of the greenhouse cuz the tallest 1 was touching the top. And the buds have only just begun to grow lol they're both still in the same corner of the yard under the window screen I strung up and now they have about 12" more to work with. And to anyone who says topping auto's is pointless, at this point I'd say they're wrong. Both of these are doing beautifully. Though the one pictured on the right got a little bit stunted for about 5 day it still rebounded. I bet I'm gonna yield about 1/2 to 1 whole ounce more from each now from topping them.

For now the greenhouse is sitting on my front(back) porch while a new heirloom tomato plant I bought is utilizing the benefits of the greenhouse till it really gets going in the next 2-3 months. Or at least till I decide what to do with the other 3 beans I have. Either put another 2 in it and put the last 1 in my indoor grow, or the opposite, 1 outside and 2 inside....hmmm decisions decisions

Sadly my hand is being forced. My roommate pulled up to the house to open the gate, right next to the fence where the 2 are behind. Said it reeked like there was 10 plants out there. So I'm gonna utilize the broken down cars out way in my "front yard" aka the actual backyard. Looks like I'll be able to prop the door to the mini van open to block the would-be neighbors yard, but it's so full of junk that I'm almost 100% sure they won't see. In the morning that's where they're gonna finish out their lives. At least this way they're going to get a good number of hours more direct sun light then the where they're at

Sub'd and + rep. Just finished my first grow in an apartment w/CFL. Next year I'll be growing in my own place with a big backyard and nobody to tell me what smells and what doesn't haha. Wish I could be your neighbor. I'd ask you to point a fan my way. P.S. As I haven't done an outdoor grow, how hard has it been to keep the little buggies off your ladies? I had a problem w spider mites even though I used neem oil this last time and I don't want bugs ever again. That is my main fear with an outdoor grow.

Thanks yo! My neighbors have also been drawing a lot of unwanted attention and had the fuzz standing within 10 feet of the plants, on the other side of the fence of course. Before I put these 2 outside I put down a good amount of Triazicide granules all over the area. I've only had a small issue with aphids about a month ago but thankfully I hit them with neem oil at the 1st sign and killed them all. Other than that Southern Arizona isn't really plagued with a lot of pests. Not saying we don't have them just that the climate isn't their ideal environment for them to thrive.

The cars belong to my roommates dad. They've been parked there for years, longer than I've known my roommate. Whom I was already good friend with long before renting the room. To paint a picture for you, the plots of land on the block are all just about 2 acres(long and rectangular). The 1 on the right it the pretty much a junk yard and owned by a couple in their late 50's and have never ventured out back. The left 1 has a house that's been condemned and looked after by the other neighbors to keep the bums away. As for the lot directly behind mine is empty and overgrown with palo verde trees, cactus and mesquite trees(all covered in needles)

Sadly though I thought I wouldn't get ripped off last year placing them between the busted RV and the old sun rotted hot tub....I thought wrong lol. Still I'd rather have it stolen from some asshole bum than get busted by 5-O. But then again I don't any of that shit to happen cuz these are my buds to smoke haha

My roommate said it looked too suspicious with the doors popped open in the back and could tell there was something there. So his suggestion was to utilize the size of the old swamp cooler frames to hide view of the plants way on the left side of the yard. Even leaned some pieces of fence to block someone from looking over. I feel better about this location than the cars, probably because its still kind of close to the house. Took the pic this morning at 7:30, lighting was still kinda low and the quality of the pic sucks a little but I had to leave the house this morning. I'll take some better 1's and post them in a day or 2.
