First Grow ever

avan1garde First week, mostly inside near the window and some extra light during rainy days

avan1garde First sunny days outside, first nutrients given

avan1garde Some more sun, some extra light in the evenings whenever it was cloudy. Doing good, considering it's my first run ever

avan1garde More sun outside, nice growth, first signs of transition into bloom

avan1garde Very cold and rainy week, few pictures. Bloom started on one of the plants, but all are transitioning.

avan1garde Still rainy and cold, bloom has started, switched fertilizers to bloom

avan1garde Hot sunny days, some rain, still going. Increased watering on the hot days.

avan1garde Fat monkey auto still stretching quite a bit. Trichome production on the main cola sugar leaves just started. Future #1 Auto ripening up, no more stretch. Again hot days, trying not to over- or underwater them.

avan1garde More brown hairs on the flowers, some yellowing of the leaves. Shouldn’t be long now. Weather is a bit bad during the second half of the week, lots of rain. Have them tucked in under the roof. Cut some of the browner leaves.

avan1garde Colder night temps and some more rain brought out some purple in the future #1. Looking at the trichomes, the future #1 should be ready to harvest, but I‘m giving it the few more days to better weather. Fat monkey has all milky trichomes, so might give it this whole week to get ready. All of the plants have yellowed quite a bit now.

avan1garde Harvested rather hastily after some bud rot became visible. Played it save so everything close to the infected parts and anything not looking perfectly healthy was discarded. So only about 1/4 of the buds went into drying. Sad ending, but that's the learning curve and the dangers of outdoor growing I guess.

avan1garde Harvested because its neighbors had nasty bud rot, so I harvested maybe a couple of days to early - but better safe than sorry. Drying now, smells very good. Will get back with pix and dried weight in a week.
