newbie tropical outdoor, second grow

Hey People, any thoughts on trimming or otherwise caring for this lovely lady?

This is my second grow, after bringing my first plant through harvest in October, and enjoying the fruits thereof. It was a small yield but I was just glad to have rescued the plant. The buds however were sweet, and that much for sweeter for having come from my own garden.

Grow 2 has a pair of Nirvana Blue Mystic autos. Lost one seedling to a high wind, of the two survivors, here's the bigger one at 33 days.

I just topped it, now it stands 12" in a 15" pot. All organic outdoor grow, with my own soil/compost mixture, cow manure, worm castings, and EM. And weekly watering with an organic liquid fertilizer. I plan to work in some bat guano as flowering approaches.

Thanks in 2013,

Ragamuffin

Time for an update. Here are my two plants at 55 days. True to the strain, they are short but thick. The pots are 15" tall and 20" diameter. Should I trim the lower fan leaves?

The smaller plant had suffered some kind of mild stunting early on, with slightly deformed leaves. But I kept it and am glad to see that it survives.

It's been useful to grow autos my first couple of times. Actually, the reason I went for autos was that I wasn't sure how to handle the tropical light cycle of a consistent 11-13 hours all year long. I'm looking forward to branching out (haha) with some more robust strains that can grow bigger and yield more over a longer life cycle.

yeah nice ladies, they are compact in size indeed but buds don't look ridiculous :)

You could take away some of the lower leaves if you wnt and some of the leaves in the bud to aerate them so they don't mold anymore!

For the tropical fitting strain i don't really know, i know we had a member growing in tropical forest but don't remember the strain try to have a look in grow journals you might find it back ^^

Good luck man thanks for the news

I was surprised to see my Blue Mystic plants after 3 weeks were fully ready for harvest, maybe even a bit past the peak to tell the truth. 65 days from breaking ground to harvest.

Here's a shot of the biggest cola. Everything is hanging to dry for a few days, in about 60% humidity and 85 degree F weather. Early samples are smooth and minty, cerebral high.
