How are things looking?

If you live next to someone that is anti- cannabis, you're gonna have a tough time, because when my gg girls were flowering you could smell them in the car from 3 blocks away. They will have an incredible stench.

Autos are gonna do what they're preprogrammed to do, they'll flower at a set time regardless of what kind of light exposure they're getting. You will want to check the strain on how much time you think you're going to get. I didn't realize you were working with auto's, in this case you will need to worry about frost. I plant feminized seeds that will flower when they start receiving less than about 13 hours of daylight, in which the rotation of the earth determines very rigidly when they flower.

The public view thing: my understanding is that the plants need to not be visible from the sidewalk/street. Chicken wire really doesn't obscure. My plants are behind 6 foot wood privacy fencing with padlock gates.

Actually I was thinking of outdoor photoperiod for next year.....just doing the autos to use up those seeds. (and the CBD photoperiods are about 4" tall right now but might be a good test run even though they will not reach their full potential like they would had I started them indoors in March.

My brother-in-law isn't the most observant individual, so even with the aroma, I don't think he would notice unless I pointed them out to him. He might smell it but not realize what it is or where it is coming from.

The location itself is not visible to the public except maybe the brother-in-law could see it from his yard (maybe from the lake with binoculars), but he wouldn't recognize it and the chicken wire isn't to obscure it, just to, half-jokingly, to "enclose and lock" it to satisfy the regulations--even though you could just push it down--technically it would be locked and enclosed.

I looked back to your 2023 grow and it looked like you were starting to get preflowers around the second week of August.... would possibly start preflower a bit sooner where I live and if I picked a 45 day flower variety like you, I might make it before frost (we potentially see early freezing low temps end of September around here with "average low" freezing end of October according to Weatherspark.com.

In outstate MN probably 3/4 of the population is anti-cannabis.

Indoor growing in winter when the humidity is low and in a room I have that is easy to maintain the temps and other conditions easily works well for me and that is how I thought I would always grow until I saw your (to me) giant plants from 2023 growing in Minnesota and I began dreaming of growing a sequoia.

P.S. referring the cannabis aroma as "stench" is ...... objectionable.

Ha... well......... it's not the same kind of smell to me as cured bud, and it gives me flu like symptoms with extended exposure. Dry and cure was tough. The smell to me is very chemical-like and acrid. When I needed to be around it when it was indoors, I wore a double respirator. Cured it smells like regular weed.

Why do you need to worry about your brother in law? Glad I live in CA where everything is more relaxed.

My wife’s father was career army and my brother-in-law went to West Point and would have been career military probably if they would’ve let him fly helicopters.

Not to stereotype or get political but also from Oklahoma.

They are not really “religious” but, like many people have bought into the “devil’s lettuce” reefer madness-type mentality…

Rigid/squared away/narrow minded…

Some people think people who use marijuana are the scum of the earth but don’t think twice about people who get shit-faced and drive around town or beat their wife or…..whatever.

Don’t know how to characterize it, but I’m sure you know what I mean.
