First timer outdoors (Royal Dwarf + Quick One)

They are O.K. for ten days old plants. Seems they are short on light- they have long and thin stems, the more direct sunlight the better.

okay thank you I will have this in mind, I will make sure they get as sunlight I can give them as possible considering that they guerilla style as well. For now just water obviously because I know I both transplanted them early and gave them much more early fertilizer than they need, but I guess autos forgive some mistakes rookies make the first times right?

That´s big problem with autos, because of their short vegetative period, when you fuck something or something happens (like 10 days of crap weather), they will never catch up like regulars. I don´t like autos for that reason, but giving them a try some seasons, now i have just one. No worries, you did´t do any fatal mistake, just put them on sun. I know, it´s guerilla grow and priority is to keep it secret.

edit: I made a picture of it for you. Not telling it should look like this, i made a mistake and growth stoped. Planted about mid-june.

I will most likely move them to a nearby place where they are going to get more sun light. The next 3-4 days are going to be a good around 37C during the day here. But the unfortunate thing is that the weather forecast shows rainy days with max temperatures of 29-32C during the day in 5-6 days from now (I am sure it's going to feel more than just that even with rain). But it doesn't show too much rain each day. Also the ideal thing for a plant is to have as much as possible sun light as possible throughout its life?
I hope with a more sunny place and some of the NPK fertilizers I gave it earlier than I should have, it can catch up a little.

You're right on for a drunk grower. Mind you, I'm typing this as I drink a glass of red wine .

Rookies mistakes don't make for a lot of bud. Experience is good but you have to be a rookie to get there.

29-32°C is ideal temperature. And yes, for autos, as much light as possible.

what is the strain and what mistake did you make? also what is the name of these specific pots because I see them everywhere and are they special compared to normal pots? no matter how bad this looks to you, I bet I will not have the yield of that single plant with both my plants dried combined haha. Also do you think it's really bad for the plants it's going to be rainy for 3-4 days with temperatures around 30C though in 5-6 days from now? as I said before these rainy days it will be a good 37C for 3-4 days and I will have the plants soon changed place somewhere where they will get more sunlight than now.

It´s autopowerplant, Dutch passion. That black thing is called airpot, I bough one just for try and I´m not that impresed, can´t see any diference from plastic pots, and it´s expansive. But I don´t use pots that much so someone else might have different oppinion.
When moving airpot, it lost its bottom and whole plant "transplanted" itself to the ground. About half of root system lost. I have to be more carefull with that thing. 4 days of rainy in this veg phase is perfectly o.k. Weather is what makes outdoor growing specific and fun. You can´t do anything.

Do you think the fact it lost half of its roots is going to affect the yield greatly?

It affected growth already so there is less space for buds where to be created. Could be from 1/3 to 1/2 less yield, my guess.

So you can hardly judge.

By the way do you think once and hopefully when my plants grow, I should try LST? it looks complex to me to be honest but I haven't looked up at a single youtube tutorial so I might be wrong. There are some "bending clips" from RQS but I am not sure if these are supposed to do all the LST work for you or what.

Nothing´s easier than LST. I would buy bending clips when have to do some huge plants. That my autoplant wasn´t trained at all, except removing damaged leaves. You will not need to use any training, but if so, you will be fine with a piece of rope to bend some branches a little. There is lot´s of stuff about LST here on RIU.
