OldFord Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Hi , i was asked by a fellow Old Git grower ....how would a late planted outdoor auto attempt end if he could provide it with some shelter ????? Answer i gave - Theres WAY too many variables to call it , you would also be reliant on shorter daylight hours , less sun intensity , less heat , more humidity ....just for a start Run a fem too and see whats what. Reply - No , i just want to run an Auto as i would like to do more and test them thoroughly in later bad weather as i will prob just stick to them in the garden. An auto is what i want to try. No probs With a start of grow in the last 10 days of July , in whats been to date a colder / wetter aso called summer wet season. So being an inquisitive Old Git , he asked if i would start an auto off for him , i said no worries and on Friday evening i placed a DP Auto Euforia seed into soak in a room temp water bath to soak. And we shall run this little experiment and report week by week , until it either gets rot and gets binned or it makes it home Either way it will play out here , step by step for you to see Mission - To grow a late planted Auto out , priding it protection in an East facing , Home made clear acrylic & timber frame Lean To against the brick wall end og building clad in dark pvc So an auto grow , outdoor & under cover enclosed quite late into whats shaping up to be a wetter season .... what could go wrong !? We shall see. Friday 21st July 5.30pm - a DP Auto Euforia wentinto soak. Sunday 23rd July 2pm The seed had sunk / seedopened / tap root just beginning to emerge - it is a rather evocative pic ! The joy of things yet to come Pics up shortly folks. Your predictions , thoughts ....and of course humour more than welcome folks @Antonio_DutchPassion 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CustardVape Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 (edited) I'll follow with interest sir. I've been wondering myself recently what could be achieved in my greenhouse with no heating or fans later in the year going into Autum/winter. Iv'e got an idea what may happen but you never know Interested to see how you get on. All the best mate Edited July 23, 2023 by CustardVape 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best mate Its not my grow mate , just a fellow newvie Old Git , has a somewhat overlooked garden , playing this year with few fems & autos , seems to prefer the smaller stature of the auto , wants to stay auto , each to their own, so hes wanting to see what a lean to enclosure on the end of his building can do if anything, only a bean to risk in order to find out mate I got a bean started for him then he can take over and what will be will be. He will send me updates & pics and i can document here. A brave attempt and actually looking forward to see it play out 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But 2 heads 2 heads better than one l!! As we stand with the seedling pics being early this morning - Wednesday 26th July.
