New Grower First grow, outdoor GCS Critical Purple Cold Weather

[The^Dude]

Thanks for the info guys. I appreciate all of your experience.

I tried to pick the clearest plastic I could for the awning, I’ve had so many issues with mold that keeping dry was my main priority. My fan comes on for an hour 4 times a day. It’s blowing pretty directly on the buds, I couldn’t really find a way around that. Hoping that all of this helps.

Looking amazing bud !

I’ve smoked a joint from all the strains harvested, and I’ve had no knock-out winners in this group. Likely will be no repeat strains next season. They were all tasty and nice, and the buzz is pretty good from each. But I think I resonate differently with different strains, so I’m still looking for one that fits me. In California I briefly got this “green Thai” that blew me away. Totally clear, positive euphoria, but it also made me feel more aware, like I could feel everything within a whole city block.
Still, thrilled with this year’s progress so far, hoping I can take the rest of the plants to the end .

After I planted the last two autos of the year I found a seed in an unlabeled vial in my pocket. It may have been the Cosmic Queen I thought I planted, so I’m not 100% what I have growing. I know at least one is an SODK, maybe both lol.
Still everyone is looking pretty good. Lots of bug bites on the smaller girls, think I’ll do a treatment before they start to build flowers. Been trying to just build the immune systems, but I don’t think I’m doing enough.

Those gorilla glue look tastey.

Yeah homie, I’ll probably have some to share, I don’t think we are that far apart.

Does it look like I clearly have at least 30 days to harvest? Want to BT, but also want to make sure it has time to metabolize.

Outdoor is hard to guess times. They finish up much faster outdoors in my opinion. I have some looking like that n I'm going to start harvest in 2 weeks. It's tough to run into mid to late October here in Michigan mold and rot becomes a big issue. You probably wont get to a full 20 to 30 % ripening unless you want to risk loosing some due to issue .

Thanks a ton, you know mold has been killing me this year, not going to take my chances. Maybe I’ll harvest most early and leave a few to ripen more fully. I’m hoping my fan and awning helps guard against rot, but still better safe than sorry.
