The last pictures of yours show a pretty big plant for inside. My largest one is a photoperiod planted straight in the ground. The rest are all autoflowers. The ones at 52 and 55 inches grew taller than the breeders say they would. Must be because they are growing under the sun which probably is better than under grow lights.

Marijuana growing in the US is illegal under federal law but there are 10 states about that have completely legalized marijuana use and some allow limited growing. Around 30 of the states have legalized medical marijuana. Some allow home grows. I live in a state that allows medical and recreational and limits you to 12 plants, 2.5 oz posession, 10 oz locked in your house of smokeable flower. Someone who grows their own apparently is able to have possession of whatever they grow out of 12 plants.

My photoperiod plant is budding but I don't know if it will finish before freezing temperatures. The days are still longer than 12 hours but it is packing on buds already. I have a couple of autoflowers that are outside still and only maybe 12 inches tall. They aren't going to get any bigger apparently.

They look ready to harvest today. The larger ones in my grow tent are way past the recommended grow time but the pistils are still white and the trichomes have changed some but I have read other postings where people claim some autoflower plants may never have their trichomes turn amber. I've harvested some early and I still get high from them.

My Mexican Airlines plants is turning light green and yellow on the fan leaves.

The Pineapple Express in the tent has dark green leaves, the one outside was planted on the same day in June, has just started flowering and its leaves are light green. The two plants look and grew completely differently.

The six foot photoperiod plant I have to train below the top of the fence as state law requires it to not be visible to the outside public view. I put the tarps up to prevent anyone from seeing through the wood fence. It is legal to grow outside if not visible from the ground, nearby buildings, without the use of binoculars, drones or aircraft.

those laws you have in your area/state shows alot of common sense and something we could of only dream of...
do you think it has made crime worst or better or same legalizing it near you? to hear it from an everyday person living it and not a news clip or a political spin on it would be kool...
i use it for medical to counter react my anxiety/mood swings ect ive had it since a kid,i realized that some thc strains aggravated my issues like straight up 100% stavitas because im so high strung the cerbral high spins me out racing heart way to fast fear of doom crazy yeah,but then this other bud i get "sometimes" that smoke has a distinct smell/taste to it that i recognize makes me feel so umm normal? and happy i need to find that strain!! )

never know what you get with street weed ,so i found hybrids and im going to find a strain combo that helps me function,and slows me down a bit calms me but still that energetic feel,ive lost alot due to shitty medications the doctors have prescribe over the years,even with the weed being at its worst it was always the better route then psyc meds for me..CANNABIS SAVES LIVES ...srry for going off topic mate but yeah it's all part of growing for me,i feel like a sponge and am looking for any info on weed i can get...im praying the frost stays away from your monster my mouth is salivating thinking of the size of the crown head on that baby wow,cant wait to see the finished product......

I don't hear anything about crime increasing due to legalization where I'm located. The state is currently licensing grow facilities and medical dispensaries first. Recreational licenses are a few months off.

An ounce will last me a year, smoking a bowl every night. I currently have five quart jars curing. Probably 4 more quart jars full drying out in paper bags. I think I have 9 more autoflower plants in various stages of growing and blooming. Then that large photoperiod plant is just packing on the buds. It is very likely the photoperiod plant will never reach the harvest point though before frost hits. I had freezing temperatures in June and the month was cold. I live above the 45th parallel and nights are already in the low 50's. September is usually hot but I am betting I have frost by the third week of September and I don't think the plant will be finished by October 7th unless I am lucky.

If the photoperiod makes it to harvest I don't know what I will do with all the weed. Possibly make hash. My state allows 10 ounces locked in your house but it also allows a home grower to grow 12 plants and apparently have possession of all flower from those plants. With just the autos I should have over a pound by the first part of September. It's not all that easy to trim up all that bud. The first few ounces I was real careful when trimming. Now not so much, I just want to get it done when I'm doing it. The strains I'm growing are just sticky like cotton candy with resin. I've never had weed like this and I'm just a first time grower.

The photoperiod bush is just packed with huge buds. I don't know if it will reach maturity before freezing temperatures. I'm halfway between the North Pole and the equator. Long Summer nights and snow comes early before November. I think days are still 15 hours of light but in June it was light before 5:00am in the morning and not dark until 10:30pm. Daylight is rapidly getting shorter, but even with about 14 hours of daylight the plant is in full bud mode. I believe the breeder said this was developed for my area as an outdoor grower. I have topped most of it and have been bending many of the branches trying to keep it under 6 feet.

I mixed composted cow manure into the soil, along with about 10 pounds of worm castings, mixed in some top soil to the sandy soil and some potting soil. I have been top dressing with more cow manure and when a flock of Canadian Geese crapped all over my yard I shoveled up a couple of pounds of their droppings and top dressed under the plant and dumped more worm castings over it. Next thing I knew the plant grew like crazy.

I get worm casting from a commercial nightcrawler facility down the road from my house. 30 pound bags for $3.00. For $15.00 I think I have gotten around 150 pounds this Spring and Summer. They just pile pallets full of it outside their business and it is self serve. You drop your money in a steel drop box and take what you want. They sell out every weekend but I went by the other day and they had five or six pallets outside. Getting towards the end of Summer so less of a demand from gardeners for it.

If I grow next Summer I might transplant all my autoflowers right into the ground after mixing worm castings, composted cow manure and some topsoil into the sandy soil and only use the grow tents to start the plants.

If the photoperiod is successful this year I will plant some more of them outside. That way no electricity used after first few weeks and really no care other than water from my well. Not really any reason to monitor Ph or use special nutrients growing outside as far as I can see. I will grow organic next year if I grow. Not really going to hurt me if I fail. I'm going to have several years worth of weed in jars by the end of next week.

I'm going to have to learn how to make edibles in order to use up what I have been growing. I have a big brown bag full of trim covered in frosty resin I don't know what to do with and can't just see throwing it in my brush pile to burn. There will be much more with the plants I still haven't harvested. I need to read up on different ways to utilize all of it.

what ifyou turned the 10 oz of weed into hash or concentrate(dabs i think it's called) can you turn that 10oz into 3oz of hash/concentrate?and have like 10 ounces of hash/concentrate in your house instead of 10oz weed?

When running top end seeds, you'll find many photo growers that will do it in a group, all popping 5 or 10 seeds, looking for the one pheno that will get spread around. Like gorilla glue [HASHTAG]#4[/HASHTAG], gelato 33, etc. There are no seeds for these phenos, as the plant next to her is a sister, not a twin. they are clone only genetics. When you buy GG seeds, that pheno could be in a pack of 10... or maybe 20... they're like children, similar but not identical, some more like mom, some more like dad. And if its femmed on itself, it still is a blender of that plants parents genetics.

You can have concentrates under state law but I don't remember how much without looking. Not that anyone is going to come looking in my house. Heard on news that police dogs in the state will not even be trained for marijuana detection any longer.

I have a pollen press that I have used for the kief catcher on my grinders before. Probably need some bubble bowls. I just got one of those magic butter decarb boxes for using when making edibles. Just have too much going right now.
