So another few weeks later... I had to chop them down last week, +/- 3 weeks before they'd be ready. Aphids attacked them, I tried to get rid of them (with my hands, daily showers, isopropyl alcohol etc.) but didn't get it under control. That's one of the disadvantages of flowering 100% outside.
All in all, this was a great experiment. I wanted to be sure that it is possible to start flowering outside by mid-February (when light/dark is +/- 12/12 over here) and then harvest towards the end of April. They didn't make it to the finish but I learnt a lot again. This was the second run I did with these Ducksfoots and maybe I'll give them a 3rd try later in the year. I remember discussing with
@MImedpatient to do the "Miami Mango method" on this strain. I will definitely try it next time. This strain gets very 'bushy' which makes a perfect breeding ground for those bad mofos. Less leaves = less hiding spots for pests and it's easier to check and find spots that are infested.
I'm still happy with the few oz. of decent bud and a stash of trim + mediocre bud which will get bubbled beginning of next week after a 2-week cure. I will post some pix then.
