I’ll prefice by saying I don’t like growing outdoors and pretty much suck at it. But every summer I try one. Here’s this summer’s victim.
Wedding Cheesecake auto, day 94. Day 94, she had to get chopped. Couple small areas of bud rot on a couple lower buds. But otherwise fine
Bud are on the fluffy side. But REALLY sticky and fragant.
Here’s a few photos I took with my phone. I’ll look at them closely tonight in under my microscope.
Outside was rough this and last year here, I just cut 13 and threw away 12 1/2 of them . When grown men cry……
I managed to get my 4 autos thru without bud rot. I still have 4 photos out there that are in early flower. Might just do autos next year if I cannot avoid bud rot again this year on the photos.
I gave up outside so anybody that makes it to the end is a freaking champ in my book!
Agreed! They should get a trophy this year!
My first grow was outside and I’ll never try it again. The climate here is baking hot and very humid with lots of bugs and other problems. It was a disaster and stressful for a first time grower.
My first outside grow actually went easy AF. I didn’t a couple GSCE autos. Mind you, a tropical storm blew through, so I completely panicked for like 3 days, but that was the only real hiccup. No rot/mold, minor heat concerns, bugs were tamable. Last couple years have been hell even on the veggie garden
I’m in Oz and this winter was so cold I had the first signs of bud rot inside that I’ve ever had . Nothing would have survived outside this year . Bud rot happens farther south yes but not here . So much for global warming . Good luck . Peace .
Australia is on my bucket list…I’ll have to visit.
Don’t , it’s turning into a commie hell hole .
Ok, we wet trimmed the Wedding Cheesecake auto tonight, and I looked at samples under the 20x/40x microscope.
Let me start by saying the buds were ok, but fluffy. Completely unlike the same strain grown in a tent under HIDs.
However under the microscope the trichs looked great! Really nice 50/50 mix of cloudy and light amber. I wasn’t expecting that. Not a flop like my previous outdoor grows.
Total wet weight was 4.5oz. I’ll put some buds under digital microscope camera tomorrow and post photos.
As an example , a couple who traveled to Ayers Rock (uluru) took film and saw the sights . They later received an email stating that they committed over 20 fine worthy infringements . This place is controlled by insane Marxists . Not a joke , I’m deadly serious . If you can’t bring your sig with you (which you can’t) don’t bother . You won’t be able to defend yourself here , you’re not allowed . Machete attacks everywhere , people getting theirs hands nearly cut off , stuff like that . If you defend your home against an invasion , you’re pretty much gonna be charged for it . Full term abortions and they’re paid 4,300 dollars to murder a child ready to be born . I said it’s a hell hole I wasn’t fooling . There’s plenty more I could mention but I shouldn’t do it here . Rant complete .
I’m drying my buds, but I pulled a few to photograph.
Not my best buds, a bit in the fluffy side. However I’m ok with the trichs.
Opinions?
Now that’s BEAUTIFUL :)!
Nice looking buds. 
What microscope you use
