For some reason, maybe special love, my plants are throwing out new splits like a whore on meth.

Whelp, I think i found the issue. Just went outside to check for sawdust and noticed that my wife's plants, which are planted in-ground between my pots, are also showing the exact same issues. Hmmmmmm. Sure enough, wife sprayed some type of insecticide on her flowers (and my plants). Dagger!!

Looks like im succeeding in keeping plants reasonably sized

7/27/21 in comparison

got two cream carmel fast versions and they started about a month early! All others in full veg mode.
Hmmmm this could be promising

not like last year huh

Schweet job Bam. You're killin it.
Hey @p59teitel , we were chatting about selfing. I can order the compounds necessary from Amazon, but I've a idea. I had a few branches put out some seeds once, just, like, a branch on one plant, and one on another.
I have a security light on Alpha patch, I believe I left it on once and the light leakage did its thing? I am thinking of trying it, covering some plants while I'm able, and feeding a couple auto fems 'the light' one night to see if it is works.
I question is, what phase? Early flower? Full flower? Towards end?
Plot thickens.

I'm sure opinions will vary, but IMHO using a light to induce male flowers on a female plant doesn't do much besides show the plant will herm under light stress. That's a plant you shouldn't be using to self (again, IMO). Ideally you would use STS, etc, on a plant that puts up with stress without going monoecious on you.

Last July had record rain. You know you’re in a drought this year when your hashplants need to get watered every day -



This one is shaded in the morning but will be drooping by mid-afternoon -



Might have to try this one next year if this is how it’s going to be going forward!

Anddddd the flowering has begun...

Fast versions? Autos? My photos usually dont stretch for a couple more weeks but fast version flowering since early july

Nope, my autos are almost finished. I believe it's the Waziri that has begun to flower. Only one I noticed of all the photos, although I haven't looked super closely... I have been doing my watering in the evening, in the dark, when it's cooler and I don't worry about shocking the roots. I realize that sounds silly, just a way to baby the ladies.
My Grape auto which I thought resembled nothing more than a churro, has suddenly plumped up to banana+ diameter, and starting to look like a real cola.
Plants were started April 15th, all are at or over 6', I'm starting to think the early start was, in fact, more timely, not early at all, but a marker for when I need to start yearly.
Bam, I think if you wait a couplefew days, you may start to see flowering up Nort' where you are.
Either that or the Waziri is an early bird. We shall see.
Time is the clock of the heart.
Happy rains today, gonna be a wet one.
PS what do you consider a 'fast version' photo? I thought a photo was a photo. Perhaps my waziri is a fast version. My Plants have thrown out many white pistils, just not clumped in a bud formation. You say you've been flowering since early July? Photo regs? Wow, then I must be way behind.

No . Honestly not sure what fast versions are. I assume they have some auto qualities. I am growing two plants, same strain/ pack that are fast versions? As far as i know they are still considered photo , I could be wrong. Either way they are flowering and started beginning of July. I grow photos and they usually don’t even stretch until end of July beginning of August. Thats why i asked because it seems early for photos to be flowering. Maybe you depped them?

What a comeback

“Fast” type photos are photoperiod seeds that usually finish flower in ~7 weeks.
