115 days old for the last auto. Still growing strong, I think it still has a bit to go yet!

My personal preference says they’re entering the harvest window. Maybe 1 more week and they’ll be right where I like them.

So I've been doing alot of work to the sour Jack's lately, they are getting so big and there is no way they will stand up to the wind when they are budding so I started building a fence around them, I drove T posts into the ground about 3feet then rapped 2x3 wire fencing around them and put bamboo sticks threw the fencing to make square holes for the branches to go threw. It's hard to explain but in the pics you can see better. I've done one so far and also did a massive bottom plant clean up to get rid of pointless branches that will never produce. I'm still waiting for nutrients to come in as I have ran out! Didnt realize how heavy of feeders they are so in the mean time I think it would be wise to do a heavy flush before they start to go into flowering. My plan is to just hold the garden hose on them for a long time. Other than that everything is going great and I have more building to do so enjoy the day peeps✌

As you can see in the pic below I have had my branches crack in the wind, hoping they heal back together!

That's the way you do it, start early in the season and produce monsters.

Well for my first time I think i took a good haul off 3 autos. I have all 3 in jars now after 7 days drying I put them in jars for a few days now every day I open the jars for a bit then close them. They dryed so nice yet still sticky after you bust it up. The smell is unreal, it actually smells like cheese! the high is also really nice and seems to last for a long time. Even tho I ended up with alot of smaller buds I did get alot of big dense buds. I ended up with 11 big Mason jars full plus 1 full of trimmings. Now to take care of my big ladys which I will update on later aswell.

Here are the massive sour Jack's, and I mean massive! I'm standing 4 steps up on a 6 foot ladder to get a good top view shot. I gave them a good feeding a few days ago at the transition to bloom stage and they took off even more! They are starting to flower now that the days are getting shorter and already smells like a skunks a$$ in my backyard. Here are the top view pics that you can really see the one that isn't topped compared to the one I topped once and also compared to the one I topped twice.

Well after those 3 little autos I dont think I could do it! I'm looking into one of the bud trimmer bowls just not sure what make or model yet.

Thank you so much! I've been working really hard at these 3 plants. I have to water/feed them every 3 to 4 days and I found out last weekend when I came home from camp for 4 days that they could not go 4 days all the time. I almost fainted when I seen how badly they were drooping i honestly didnt know if they would make it. It's been so dry around here lately even the grass is dead. Thankfully I saved them with only 1 plant having some minor leaf burn. That was 2 days ago and those photos were took today.

I honestly cannot believe this! Just after i say everything is looking good, today I go do an inspection after watering and I find aphids on all 3 of my plants, they seem to be on the stem close to where the buds will form. I have the worst luck! Can anyone help me try and solve this before all my hard work goes down the drain. I know my head shop carrys neem oil, should I try that or go for something stronger to hopefully wipe them out before it gets to late into flowering. Any help would be more than appreciated!

Figured I would pop in and let everyone know they are still growing! Buds are going slow, I figure it's from the cool temps and all the rainy cloudy days we have been having. For the aphid problem I used a mixture of dawn and cayenne with water and sprayed them, a week later I sprayed them with safers soap 3 in 1. They have definitely died off a bit but I still see 2 or 3 here and there but they haven't multiplied at all thankfully. I have 1 more feeding to do with it bud nutrients, I just purchased some overdrive to use near the end of the budding phase. All in all they look good and got big the last couple weeks. Heres some pics!
