There is a sense of autumn starting to creep in at the 'critical corner' plot...

The 3 autos are definitely going to be chopped before the end of August, with the C+ 2.0 and White Widow XXL autos getting cut on my next visit. The Blue Kush auto may need an extra few days to a week longer, but will be down by the 31st. [emoji106]

The autos will be fine mate. They are being cut down in the next 5-7 days. The lows in my neck of the woods are still in the 12-16C range and will stay there until late September. This time of year is usually the warmest for nighttime temps, especially going into September. The overnight temps look fine for the next few weeks.

The Quick Critical will probably go until early-mid October, but that too shouldn't be a problem. First frost is around last week of October, and I have cropped plants in early November here before, with little to no mould, or ill effects. Photoperiods seem to take a few frosts quite easily during the last week or two of flower. That Quick Critical should be down way before then though... fingers crossed. Single digits overnight during October shouldn't pose a problem. It's the rain and humidity that could cause me problems though...

Cheers mate, I appreciate the kind words.

It hasn't been an easy season. We have had month's of drought and heatwaves, which have now paved way to 2 weeks solid of wet, humid, overcast conditions which are now causing some mould problems on buds in their last week or two of flowering. How typical. But I am staying on top of it. The autos will be coming down before the end of the month.

It's a lot easier growing indoors in a controlled environment, but that is completely out of the question for me. I'm only 22 years old, but I am now a single dad trying to bring up a 1 year old little girl on my own right now, after her mum walked out and deserted us. Talk about throwing a spanner in the works...

Could not imagine bringing up my 2 yr old on own.

Right, so I have got a bit behind on my updates...

These pics are from about 10 days ago now...

Critical+ 2.0 auto (8-9 weeks old)

I left some of it to go an extra week...

The buds I did take went into the outdoor drying box...

This is a bud from a lower branch nug...

I also went climbing and scouted out some new potential plots for next season, where I can hang a basket or two up in the trees... just as I did this year...

I am still way behind on my updates... so here we go...

The pics are about 10 days old roughly, so she's further along in flower right now, by another week or two. Also this Quick Critical is supposed to have a 6 week flowering time, tops, so I should be looking at harvest by around 10th October.

I am highly confident she will finish, as I can crop buds well into November here, in southern England. I took an OG Kush photoperiod in early November a few years ago, without any mould at all. And buds caked in THC. But I prefer summer harvests because it minimises the mould risk and is much easier when it comes to drying. I had dried a lot of stuff outdoors successfully this summer, for instance. But I can't dry outdoors come mid September...
