Oh dang, I just solved a mystery!!!!! Well, not much of a mystery, but I most definitely just put two and two together!! I just replied to your email. A bit winded, as I am, but maybe a little more than usual. I'm trying to hide from the family and have done a good job so far, so that also means I'm stoned as a goat haha
Been dragging my feet posting an Ogreberry update.
Honestly, I'm feeling like a 6th grader in PE being sent to shower with the 8th graders.... ???

Those two broke ground back on May 27
Please laugh along with me...
We're officially stunted.
I think it was just too hot and dry down here to be starting these guys off from scratch outside - or anything else for that matter. Lots of midgets happening right now.
I've pulled off plenty of autos (plenty of failures, too), but never really thought much about the majority of the successes being started in mid Spring and then early Fall.
Still have a single Ogreberry seed remaining, and plan to give it a go when things settle down a bit in the desert.
In the meantime, I'm going to be slinging some other auto seeds in full heat, but playing around with partial sun, or early sun in making a difference in all this.
Will be seeing these two to the end. I don't care if it's just two vapes worth, I want to experience the Ogreberry!!

Normal looking flower:
Strange looking flower, is it herming out?
Looks super tight with almost no pistil on the top bud.

Mine is doing the same thing, i thought the earwigs had chewed them off as they have been a plague this year. A nearby marigold was stripped to the ribs in a single night.

@UncleB its just the nature of the auto beast, has nothing to do with one’s abilities to grow, keep trying you will get it right.

Sometimes I try to get to something done and another thing requires my attention, with that being said, I have failed dearly to keep posting my updates sorry @Twenty20 Adam but the girls are still chugging along quite nicely.
The last two weeks been pruning for production, always with an eye for the finished canopy, I do not grow leaf, I grow the plants for flower so everything I do at this stage is to enhance flower production, leaves at this stage are expendable. Never fear you over defoliated as long as you do not remove leaves around the flower all others are fair game for removal. I try to structure the plant so the most branches are exposed to light directly when in peak flower.
Insight: My mother, rest her soul, grew show roses and would enter them in contests, until the day she passed her roses were her life, she taught all us kids how to prune her rose bushes for flower production, I’m the oldest so I learned first.
Anyhow, here they are, these are hump day pictures at day 46, pre flowering Starting looking for the stretch to start this week. If one looks close you can see they are dealing with high humidity heck at times in the 70’s yes really, what do I do? absolutely nothing I added a fan for air circulation, the dehumidifier runs only when lights are off, during the day they have to just endure and sweat it out. I grow in open rooms in the basement, I’m at the mercy of my environment.
Outside you cannot control anything temperature related, why do we do it with our inside gardens? Look plants acclimate to environmental changes because nature provides them this to help proliferation of that plant species, we cannot change this, only assist.
In my particular setup I do not find high humidity in preflower to be detrimental to flower production or overall growth, some plants will show some light stress, most plants tend to over feed on nitrogen in my experience but with autos going into flowering with excess nitrogen does not cause overgrowth of leaves might even help to develop larger flowers. Providing good air flow is key with high humidity rather than worrying about VPD, anyone control VPD outside in the open?
Now I’m not a pro, I’m just an old surfer kid from Sunnyvale California that loves this wonderful plant.
P.S. The tall plant is a purple punch auto same age as the Ogreberry complete different plant structure.

Just a quick update, a bit of relief from the humidity today. We are full on stretch, training the canopy looks on track so far at this point, did the top dressing of rice hulls, to bulk up the stems for flower. I don’t use hulls until they go into stretch I have not seen any benefit to add early in veg in my environment. They are still only on once a day watering, with only grow nutrients and I forgot to mention in previous posts on Sunday’s of every week the plants go to church, ha they only receive water, yes “all” plants get water, due to my laziness also it washes the coco, gives them a fresh start for the week.When all bud sites are set I will introduce a weak flower nutrient, and do some final flower site removal. The flowers that do not get direct light get removed, if a whole branch does not make it to the light it gets removed, I’m not trying to grow leaf, nor am I entering a contest, I’m growing pot to smoke, I save my prettiest stuff for my eyes only and family. I’m not interested in showing off my girls ya ya’s to anyone. Old school: Loose lips sink ships, homie.
I wanted to give @Twenty20 Adam a Thank you for the wonderful opportunity to try out your newest creations. Thanks brother when I can get out there will have to stop by.
Looking stout and strong, beeman!
Is the DTE tea your own creation, or maybe related to the Down to Earth products?
Thanks Uncle B. It's all down to earth products with some fish shit, molasses and recharge. I let it bubble 3 days and feed the girls. Then let water and mother nature do the rest
