How Many ###'s: 5 Gallon Party Cups Nor Cal Outdoor

These shorties were germinated outdoor sometime in early August. They began to flower at about 8".

One of the ladies is one of Docs ECSD, the others are seeds from legit clones: Sour Diesel, Infinite Euphoria, Girl Scout Cookies, Green Crack all crossed with Trainwreck that went herm in my first indoor run.

Or it could of been a Mexican Sativa that grew into a champ in a couple of nights and had balls everywhere although I believe it didn't mature enough to do any pollinating before I kicked his ass and threw him out in the sun to dry.

Besides the one with the stretch, what trips me out is they're short as fuck and look like they just don't want to grow up and be toys r us kids for ever. I haven't really noticed much vertical growth in the last week. It's like seeing your first girl with tits when you're in elementary school. It doesn't make sense, it's that baffling to me.

I'll be posting weekly updates on these yamps. Winner of the guesstimate gets a big "you should have made a wish instead" reply.

But other than that it gives those who have done party cup grows a chance to see a "12-12" from seed done outdoors with a good sized medium.

Start of week 3. I'm starting to tell which plants come from what seed. The one picked from the Infinite Euphoria looks super frosty. A couple of the shorties look like they have trichs developing rapidly on the fan leaves similar to the Girl Scout Cookies pheno I had so I'm pretty stoke for that.

Although I believe poor aeration was the culprit for the stunted growth. I did mix about 80/20 organic soil/verm. Dr.GT's ECSD is still super short compared to the rest but it's staying up there with the IE and GSC in terms of trich production.

Here's a peek at the new guard dogs on duty. They're ripe for the pickings as well. Garden approved, a must have.

Week 4 update. They have been moved into the greenhouse I so have been procrastinating to cover. But none the less the shorties are in there now and it's very humid inside but they've been growing much faster since being shielded from the cold.

I did have dogs get into some nutes and my neem oil that was in a polyester bag. The bag reeks of neem oil, so I placed it next to the plants so the smell could deter bugs and pest. So far the bug count has been much lower than the previous weeks.

Some of shorties actually started to push out auxins to stretch the lower buds out, Kinda weird considering they been flowering for a month already. I assumed they would just grow like a single cola but it hasn't been the case with all of them.

Best guess: .25 pounds. My gut tells me it might be a bit less.
What you have for dinner?

We'll find out how accurate the meal was when they're ready for the weigh in.

I think you had a light lunch. I just had like 9 pieces of spicy Popeyes chicken from a 5 piece meal, side of mash potatoes, and the biscuit. My gut says I raise you an ounce but your probably right, weighing in grams sounds a little more precise.

I'm going to have to battle that budworm for those 106 grams.

I saw dead leaf on some of the ladies and began digging for the budworm.

I haven't had budworm this early before but my fingers have never been as stinky.

One of the plants smells so great, I've never smelled anything like it before. It smelled like a sweet grapefruit and fuel.

Laptop took a dump. But after harvest and drying, the shorties ended up being the best smoke of all. I pulled more than 100 grams from them. The Dr. Greenthumb ECSD came out solid. Between the mini, medium and large ECSD I plucked 48 grams. I was lucky to find I got my seeds back from those ladies for another run. The GSC came out super fire. Not as dense as the clone from last years indoor run, but packed with trichs and packs that great gsc smell. Now if I can only find a seed in those buds to run her a third time and potentially breed my own seeds from now on forward.
