Sorry for the late reply, but you have gotten lots of good advice from others so I won't dilly dally.

The fabric pots are 7 gallons and I could have gone smaller but the little larger size gives me a fudge factor in case I forget to water. I use big box store potting soil and amend with worm castings, perite and rice hulls. I also sprinkle some Gaia Green in before planting.

I do transplant Autos, and it may stunt their height a little, but they stretch during flower and finish when they should. This year I started Auto seeds May 31, transplanted the seed w/tail into small cups, then into 3" pots, then into the 7 gallon outside. They are not as robust as photos, for me, but they do produce beautiful flowers every time.

No worries. Thanks for the info. I was going to do the scaling-up transplant method but thought that would end in disaster. Whatever you're doing, it seems to be working. Your entire operation looks amazing.

My interest in autos is definitely rising. Mine may be underdeveloped, but I've done so much better than the first 4 attempts.

Cool weather this morning supposed to only get to 75f and will gradually get warmer no more rain for now. Things are progressing slowly those are the photoperiods in the first 2 pics then there's my autos in the next 2 pics. The tiny one just got put out into it's final pot this morning, poor tiny thing. The strain is called Godzilla cookies LOL. My veggie beds are not doing great cause of the beetles that are wrecking the leaves. I've given up on the bush beans i've planted those 3x my 2 zucchini are not happy. Tomatoes are fine and my cantalopes are happy. Don't know why those beetles just mostly eat the beans and squash leaves. There on my MJ plants but the spray keeps them away for just a couple days then i see them and the earwigs uggh.
Then there's my pretty begonia in my snail pot. It's been in there 3yrs, dies back in winter it's a tuberious variety. Anyhoo that's the update slowww and steady.

I know a lot here on the farm don't like using this, but it's the only thing I know to keep my beans from becoming lunch to everything...even groundhogs. Slugs got my first planting no more than they sprouted. Replant and dusted...I have beans. Groundhog ate a few tops and quit, beans recovered, groundhog died of instantaneous lead poisoning.🤣

That's the spirit! Keep trying different things until it works for you. I'm an outdoor grower and tried indoor for the first time this past winter with disastrous results. But, I have learned alot and am looking forward to this Fall's adventure. LOL (unless I end up with a garage full, like @EternalSun's barn last year. 😉 )

Heat wave here on the east coast. 96° today and calling for over 100 the next 3 days . Girls in the greenhouse taking it well though. Gave everyone a drink this morning along with spraying the outside of the fabric pots. Sprayed the pots again about an hour ago to keep the roots cool and moist. Plants have a little tacoing going on but not bad. If they were in flower I'd be a lot more worried. Although the Cretans seem to be seriously thinking about going into flower. 20260701 14091020260701 12134920260701 12125420260701 121248

That's what I thought. I'm hoping it's not caused by heat stress because the 1 Cretan i have in the ground doesn't look like that. But it hasn't been topped either. But the description from TRS co. said they are accustomed to hot summers, as you would expect from a landrace from the island of Crete. We'll see.

I hope it’s if it’s starting to flower it stays in flower! Maybe it’s the greenhouse effect! I think in general greenhouses filter out 20 to 30% of the sunlight that hits them! Thus possibly the difference between your outdoor one and the greenhouse one! I think you can measure the difference, possibly using your phone! Maybe that photone app! But whatever you have to deal with it! Ain’t it fun?😁🐒

Happy Canada to our friends to the north!

Thanks Leste.

We had a downpour in Ottawa with high winds. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/canada-day-activities-in-ottawa-cancelled-9.7255350 At the bottom of the article it shows what the water accumulation looks like in places.

They had a bike day planned in a local town and were expecting 10,000 bikes. My buddy and I went even with the storms. Now that we're back he's going out to a coworkers place and lending her 2 sump pumps tonight. First he has to check that he can even drive on the streets to get to her place.

One branch got broken on the 3 plants I have growing and they all look like they got beat up. By tomorrow they'll be looking much better.

First picture is the Qrazy Train Auto. She's roughly 4-5 weeks along and no signs of flower yet. Looks healthy though. The two in the greenhouse are the AK-47 and Bruce Banner. Also roughly 4-5 weeks along. Everybody's happy this morning.

Nice training
