Pretty hard to do in the northern hemisphere and have any potency in your buds unless you have an autoflower variety. I personally have never grown one but it makes sense that you don't have to worry about the light cycle changing so late in the season... I personally quit doing that I can grow them in pots and put them away at night to keep their light cycle more on schedule with the warmer weather because October up in the north it's awful cold for growing anything worth a damn unless you have a strain specifically designed for your climate
My goal is to have everything done by mid August living in the upper Midwest because you never know what comes with the weather.. September can be a good growing month or like season before last a terrible growing month.. lots of rain and cool temperatures made for some pretty weak smoke

And this is why I like growing in straight manure. It creates heat so the roots stay toasty warm when it gets cold. I used to think I had to chop them earlier but now as long as it doesn't get long hard frosts I keep them out til their done. They go through snow and rain and stay fine. Last outdoor grow I was still bringing them down in November even..... and that is just about not heard of around here.

I used alfalfa pellets and rice bran to heat up the soil when I put my plants out in February.

Holy shit! Last year rain came mid September in Michigan. There were some mold issues going on for sure!

i used a little bit of chicken manure last year.. question.. im unsure of when ill be chopping and covering my cover crop (marigold, red clover, white mustard, basil, vetch, coupla pole beans) im thinking end of august. i heard you should cover before they mature but i like my permacultures and bees lol. so when i do chop the cover crop, i want to put a thick layer of chicken manure and worm castings on top before the cold. this a good idea? or could it potentially burn? my raised beds have good quality soil with a fish and layer of leaves and food scraps etc.

Careful with the chicken manure I have chickens solely for their manure and bug eating skills but it needs to be well-rotted cuz it's way too high in nitrogen for pot

I took some medium rotted chicken manure this winter out of my compost pit brought it in the house mix it with a bunch of fresh worm castings that were still wet and teeming with bacteria (I make my own worm castings.... Well the worms help 🥴) let it ferment some more for over a month in my warm grow room then I dried it out using a seed mat heater, into a fine dust... I took a teaspoon or less of that fine dust and sprinkled it where I knew the main feeder root was for my main cola during second 2or3 week of flower... Within 24 hours I had nitrogen clawing pretty heavily and tip burn on all my cola leaves... Stuff's really good for growing big ass pumpkins but I'm kind of afraid to use it again on my little girls

Thing is... I'm scared of chicken manure fresh or otherwise. There is a little in my preblended nutes but very little.
I like to control the nitrogen levels in my garden because too much N in flower is a bad thing.
It can cause slower bud development and even smaller buds.
So over all... like I said I dont mess with it and unless you know for sure what your doing and what amount I wouldnt risk it.

It does look like it revegged. Beyond that it looks hungry...and watch the water ... sometimes over watering and underwatwatering can look the same. Get yourself a moisture tester they are very cheap and that will help you know for sure.
