Great to see you growing your own outside. How it should be. I have a headband photoperiod strain going. Hoping it will finish fine here in MA. It’s been 30 year since I’ve grown herb. I dream of getting a light and gifting exotic sativas. Maybe one day. How do your auto flowers compare with dispensary herb?Harvested my 2nd & 3rd (back porch) AFs earlier than planned, on days 70 and 65. I should have realized that the direct sunlight was too intense, especially when the heat advisory turned into a heat warning. The smell was incredible until the buds got cooked and the leaves started dying. They're still pretty darn good, very sticky, just not as smelly as they should be. Will try again next year with partial shade part of the day.
These were two mystery seeds provided by Fastbuds. However I'm guessing the bud shown below is watermelon zittles based on the wild smell. It reminds me of some crazy candy I got for Halloween 50+ years ago.

They're hanging in the storm shelter. Maybe an ounce each?? I tried trimming before hanging.

The first one was pretty good. Not yet sure about these last two. I'm not expecting great weed, just hope it's useable. In hindsight I made an idiot mistake. Next year I'll make sure the strains are recommended for hot conditions, and will use shade liberally. These plants are small. Thinking about easy designs for a small shade structure. The goal will be maximum flavor instead of maximum sunshine.Great to see you growing your own outside. How it should be. I have a headband photoperiod strain going.
