I put autos into my guerrilla patch for the first time, this year. I dug two into the ground in late May - a Black Cream (Sweet Seeds), and a Bubbleicious (Nirvana) - both were harvested at the end of July.
The seedlings were started indoors and spent their first two weeks under T5 lights, then were "hardened off" for a few days in the backyard - then out into the bush (planted into an organic soil mix that had cooked through the winter).
We had a good summer for sun - but very little precipitation, which is pretty rare in these parts. Because of my work schedule, I wasn't able to look after these gals like they probably deserved - and at one point I think they went a full 14 days without a drink, other than morning dew!
I'm sure it impacted their overall production - but they didn't seem to mind too much - and both stayed green and healthy right through their flowering.
The Black Cream stayed small (14'' or so) - and yielded something in the neighborhood of a quarter ounce dried and cured. However, the BC I grew indoors was virtually the same size with about the same yield - so it wasn't entirely unexpected (I gave the remainder of the BC seeds to a friend with a magical touch, to see if she could coax more in the way of production than I could).
The Bubbleicious, however - flourished in the sunshine! She finished up at roughly 3' - and yielded an ounce and a half (dried and cured) of the stickiest, densest, sweetest smelling bud I've had the good fortune to grow!
A week after these two ladies were taken down, their places were taken by a Kritic-70 (Kannabia Seeds) and a Think Different (Dutch Passion).
Both are doing very well, at the moment - but both are racing the heavy rains and frost to finish before bud rot takes a toll (I'd estimate both have four + weeks to go - so it will be a very close race, indeed!).
Next summer, there won't be any photos in my guerrilla garden at all - autos under the sun is the way to go!
As an aside - I thought I'd include a photo of my garden's guardian in full flight with my dogs in hot pursuit (just out of frame). He/she keeps casual "rippers" from looking too closely at my garden - ha ha!
