Ready ?

I just cut an autoflower plant today, I trim pretty close as everything I trim off I'm going to process for edibles other than the fan leaves that I trimmed off outside and left laying on the ground. I broke down all the bigger buds and trimmed off as much stems as possible. I don't usually weigh what I just cut but it had more weight in the bag this time so I put it on the scale. Over 14 ounces wet and I didn't even cut all the lower buds off the plant. 400 grams wet. This is my first time growing this year and the largest autoflower plant I have grown.

I have a 6 foot photoperiod plant growing in the ground that is the first and only photoperiod plant I have growing. If it matures before the temperatures drop to freezing in October it looks like it may be a pound or two. I've been trimming, topping and training it to keep it at six feet and under the top of my fence. It has huge buds developing and looks to be 10 X the size of the largest autoflower plant I have grown this Summer. Started flowering around August 1st so it will be close if it finishes.

I've had some pretty big ones grown in three gallon felt pots, they did better in 5 gallon pots, 7 gallon pot and the one I cut down today was in an 11 gallon felt pot. Next year I'm going to grow straight in the ground after seeing how well the photoperiod plant is doing.

If the photoperiod plant makes it to maturity before cold weather I might not grow many autos next year. I might just put up a small green house. I live in a state where growing is now legal as long as it is out of sight. I've probably got a pound in jars and drying right now. I also have 5 autos still growing, two outside currently and three I just stuck back in my grow tent that are pretty far along. Next three days will be storming so I moved them inside to finish.

This is what I've jarred up this month. I'll have around 6 more ounces ready in a few days that are drying in a small tent in my basement that'll put me at about a pound. Then whatever I get from 5 more autoflowers and the photoperiod plant if it finishes.

I only smoke about an ounce and a half a year and that is smoking a half bowl every night. I bought a magic butter decarb box and have some bubble bags coming so I plan on making hash and edibles so I don't have to always smoke it. Might have to start giving it away but I no longer know people who smoke weed.

The photo plant I grew ended up getting some bud rot on a couple colas and some smaller buds after 7 days with rain and no sun. I did to harvests already and still have a small one to do today. My first harvest yielded 7 ounces dried, I still have to give a final trim to the second one and allow it to dry a few additional days. I think it will yield another 7 ounces or so, with a total of 14 ounces, possibly 15 ounces after what I get today.

The auto in my profile picture should be cut today. It is Fastbuds Gorilla Glue auto.

I probably yielded 18 ounces from autos this Summer, I also have another one past due to cut that had issues with running a month long and having small buds. Another one is really tall, a month late and hasn't even developed flowers after three months and will never finish, another Gorilla Glue from Fastbuds which was planted the same day as the one I will cut today. Most Fastbuds I grew this Summer did just fine, others of the same strain just didn't produce well at all, same batch of seeds grown at the same time and same soil and nutrients.
