Good Evening All
Im a first time grower of Cannabis, but not an amateur gardener. I popped a couple of random bag seeds in spring and grew on the Autos in my greenhouse.
It's a proper glass greenhouse, with planting directly into the ground. Im in the South West UK.
I've basically just thrown them in between my Cucumbers and Tomatoes, and treated them mostly the same.
Im an organic gardener, so I've fed with seaweed extract, worm casts and Rain water. Ive played with a bit of LST and trained one round into a spiral stem and the other I left to do its thing basically.
ive had issues with caterpillars, but not loads of them, one or two specific moth caterpillars. I simply hand picked and moved them to some honeysuckle outside. I confess to not keeping any record of dates, or days in flower, because well, im not great at that stuff and this was kinda for funsies, but ive really enjoyed watching the plant mature and I think id like to do it again.
That said, im at the final stages, and im getting itchy feet now. We have a front of unseasonably warm and wet weather this week, but with a drop overnight to 8c at the end of the week which makes me nervous.
id be gutted to muck this up now, and im thinking I may need to stagger the harvest anyway.
so without further ado, here's some photos. You can see the LST plant is starting to show some lovely purple colours, most of the pistils are brown, but there's a bit of foxtailing, and very frosty buds I think. They're heavy and starting to droop. I think I can just see amber showing?
the standard shape plant has much tighter packed buds, and kinda lower levels of brown pistils and milky trichomes.
I feel like this is the crucial week and I don't wanna mess it up! appreciate anyones input
