that’s a vivid color differential, congrats on the harvest Keffka!!!

I've seen that with all the strains I've grown both indoors and out.
Same strain outdoor is always leafier.

I thought I was imagining it until this harvest. I imagine it has to do with the need to weather more stressors. It’s funny, when I try to look up why, I get many results, half say one thing, and the other half say the opposite.

MIL is super salty that my FIL grew a near flawless plant on his first try. No PM, No rot, big buds, no hermies.
She’s even more salty because he started the plant a month later than average, and did practically nothing (@SmokingWings I think you’re on to something with shifting your dates around to avoid molds, this is the first outdoor crop there without rot and PM). He sprouted, let them ball, then dropped the plant into its final container. No nutrient plans, no watering regimens, no special care, just his soil he’s been using, a fabric pot, and outdoor weather. He let the plant be it’s best self.
I tried explaining that she coddled her plants too much and they thrive when they’re made to work, but she wasn’t trying to hear that. She thinks he just got lucky. I disagreed vehemently. Dude is smart, that old school smart where he knows how to do everything from wood and iron working to gardening to mechanical and robotic work. I explained how the plant grows and that’s all he needed to hear. I was impressed. From now on I’ll be splitting seeds with him. I’ll grow the strain indoors and he’ll grow it outdoors.
This also means I’ll have to start giving him my soil recipes, but that’s fine because he’ll wind up figuring out ways to do it more efficiently with less work.

People don’t mind smashing 6 beers in front of their kids but god forbid they know what a plant looks like.
Ever since I was young I’ve found it incredibly hypocritical that people will consume alcohol around children but they act like cannabis is somehow going to turn their kids into drug dealers if they catch even a whiff of it, or see it being consumed.
My kids have known about cannabis since they were young. Alcohol too. They know what a cannabis plant looks like, and they also know that alcohol makes adults act way stupider than cannabis. My kids have no interest in either, yet they know what both are. How are they not full blown homosexual cartel leaders that worship satan yet?!
It’s 2023, pretending kids aren’t going to learn about this stuff on their own is lazy ignorance at best, and closer to negligence in my opinion. I’d rather them learn the truth from me than lies from their teachers, friends, cops, etc. I don’t want my kids turning 18 and realizing they’ve been lied to about everything their whole life like I did. The only positive about the lies is that I don’t lie to my kids about anything. They get the truth from me, always.
*This thought was spawned from a convo with my boss. He had no problem brewing beer at home but he still hesitates to grow cannabis because in his mind it’s still somehow a bad thing his kids (adult age) shouldn’t see

Nice! The weight is about to start
Its stigmas are still yellowish which is interesting since that’s the one that displayed the most indica characteristics but the others have already gone white. The overall color of the leaves have shifted into quite a soft tone as well which looks gorgeous.
I was gonna back build the buds this run but it won’t be necessary. I find it amusing that my plants are half the size of the other grows yet they’re in containers almost 3x larger. This should be a fun strain to push around, lots of room for improvement.

It can be genetics too. All that matters is quality finished product. And enough to get you through while you do it again

Between this:
the final five 24 inch colas still hanging, and what’s going on in the tent I’ll be freed up to go wild

Only took a year to get there too
Didn’t help I had to do it my way but I learned a lot more and now the stash will be top shelf instead of barely made it to the finish

She grew so well Keff! Awesome work!I’m awful at estimating weight.. When I think it’s a high yield it’s low, when I think it’s low it’s highI’ve just started lowballing. Told my wife it looks like 3 ozs at least.
I have 25 colas. Some are 24 inches long some are 12 inches. It averages out to around 18 inches per cola.
3 ounces should be a lowball number
She was pretty pretty. It was interesting.. one cola grew purple, one grew red, some grew blue. If she was grown with more intent it probably would’ve shown even more.
The buds feel nice and solid.
One thing I have noticed is, outdoor plants seem to put on way more vegetative mass. I have far more sugar leaves to trim off than I normally do indoors. This could be either a result of the environment or it’s more likely that I prune and train indoor plants and mostly leave outdoors to do their own thing except for a bud defoliation after stretch.
Your garden's a showcase! Getting some nice frost now!Pt 2
