I wanna cut these 2 leaves in the circles because it seems like there just blocking the bottom leaves/nodes, Than again I don’t know enough to make the correct judgement, I also heard proning doesn’t matter so much outside because the sun rotates so not sure what to do, What do you guys think?
Please note I am fairly new to growing and this is just my 3rd summer growing, I have only had one successful plant pretty much and I got under 10gs from it… so I appreciate any and all help, Thanks.
This year I got 3 autoflower strains growing outdoors in Canada, Calgary🇨🇦. We usually get a lot of sun here but as of recent it has been raining a lot so it hasn’t really gotten the most optimal conditions for growth, They have probably missed out on a good few days of viable sun.
Temperatures have been varying from 15c to 25c sometimes even lower at night to the point where sometimes I need to bring them inside to protect from potential frost, that barely happens though as I usually just leave them out, unless it goes under 4-7c.. It does come pretty close though and now that I think about it, That could be one of the reasons the growth isn’t the best.
The autoflower strains I am growing is Granddaddy Purple, Purple Silverback, and Pineapple Express. Very cheap genetics from autoflower.ca so I am not expecting a lot, soil isn’t the greatest at all either.. It is dirt mixed with compost that was put in my garden just a little under 3 years ago, other plants like raspberries, tomatoes, strawberries do really well in it so it’s not too bad I guess, I actually did have 2 successful cannabis plants in it using the same soil, one giving me under 10gs due to roots not having enough space/late transplant to the pot, and one grew massive but it was a random photoperiod seed from bud and happened to be male unfortunately.
For watering/feeding, I just started using concreted nutrients 12-6-6 from pro-mix about 5 days ago around the time it started leaving the seedling stage, I’ve heard it’s not the best for cannabis but it was cheap, I am using nutrients every second watering, 2 cups for each plant every time the top soil dries up so usually once a day, depending on the heat. If you need info on how much nutrients I am using per feeding to further evaluate, let me know.
So now that you understand their growing conditions, I believe that the plants are decently behind for auto flowers, Though I could just be overreacting though because it’s not like they’re in perfect conditions. I just really don’t know what to be expecting so another set of eyes would be nice, The one on Day 21 is the Pineapple Express, The one on Day 19 is Purple Silverback and the one on Day 17 is Granddaddy Purple, Please let me know if you think they are behind and if there is anything I can do about it, because at this rate I feel like it is gonna go into flowering with only a couple nodes for each plant.
If you want more pictures of different angles for a better evaluation, please let me know, appreciate you for reading
