Thanks for your response, @quinxstar
I really appreciate your advice and feedback as an outdoor grower.

I’ll focus more on the final stage of flowering and post-harvest care. It’s true that, for some reason, I’ve always viewed outdoor strains as “less important,” and I probably didn’t give them enough attention. I’ll make sure to do better

As for the spacing between plants, that was a big mistake and a lesson learned for next season. To be honest, I was also partly counting on pruning out some male plants

I 100% agree quinxstar.
I suggest you to trim most of side branches to try to have them one bud style shape

Quick update—running out of time

The automatic varieties are ripening; the whole garden smells wonderful.

A small patch of mold appears here and there on one of the Malawi plants; I’m gradually trimming it off.


The Devils show no signs of flowering.

You can probably see how I’ve spaced them out.

Running out of time is the outdoor grower's curse Hopefully the weather gives you enough room to finish them properly. Are you planning to let everything go as long as possible or take them down in stages?

Hi, fellow growers

Sorry I haven’t posted here in a while—lots of work, life, family, and honestly, not much has been going on

The autoflowering strains are harvested. To be honest, this was my last time growing autoflowering strains. I don’t enjoy the high—it’s too monotonous, no complexity, no fun, just a stone.
However, to be fair, ACE’s autoflowering strains have something extra. Aside from great taste and aroma (which, in my experience, isn’t hard to achieve with autoflowering strains), they also have an interesting effect—I think the Malawi side contributes an interesting aspect to the high in this hybrid. The effect is pleasantly psychedelic and intoxicating, which is truly exceptional for an autoflowering strain. Despite this, I won’t be paying any further attention to these strains. I’ll focus on semi-autoflowering strains whose crosses aren’t based on ruderalis (I suspect that ruderalis is what’s tainting the effect of these strains). For next year, I have photoperiod strains lined up whose genetics include UEL (Ultra Early Love).

As for the Devils—they’re still in the ground. Only two remain; as mentioned here, they were planted too close together, and after one of them started showing signs of a fungal stem disease, I pulled it out.
The remaining two look good; they have pink stigmas and are producing an abundance of GIANT trichomes I think you can tell this is a hashish strain. They have a pleasant floral/sweet/creamy scent. I’ll keep them as long as possible—temperatures are low, but we haven’t had any heavy rain yet, and I haven’t seen any flower rot anywhere. It’s definitely a strong and hardy outdoor strain

I’ll try to add some photos of the dried buds from the autoflowering strains too

Have a great week, brothers!
