Advice for Autoflowers

in Questions & Answers

Aloha!

I live in the tropics and planted 2 of your Strawberry Smile crosses a month ago in fabric pots in the garden. I use KNF primarily.

After initially struggling, one got about a foot tall then went male.

The other is still only about 6" tall with only showing signs of 5 nodes now, but first signs of being female displayed now.

What's your first impression of why my girl didn't get very big after so much time? Soil biology? pH? Maybe not letting it dry out enough between waterings?

As a side note, I started some of your Charlotte a week later and they are a bit larger than the SS. Also started some straight run seeds I received from another grower two weeks ago and they are far ahead in size and nodes.

I've been told that AFs are finicky. Any tips on a better grow are welcome.

Thanks!

Vermont Home Grown

in General Discussion

This forum space is dedicated to sharing our personal gardens and helping others develop their own. We encourage you to share your experiences with our seed here certainly, but anything goes as long as you are courteous and kind to others.

Home grow laws in Vermont allow for four plant in vegetative and two in flower. Making those two plants count in terms of quality and yield is important. My wife and I grew our personal two in a small hoop house this year. 88g13 x Kombucha and Bubba Kush x Kombucha. We used single strands of chord for scrogging in soil amended with compost and duck droppings. Happy growing all!
