MY AF outdoor, first grow ever!!

hi guys, this will be my first post here on the growery. i am a member over at the shroomery for a while now. this is my first time ever growing ganja so any tips are welcome.
now for the description.
20 beans were started on june 14th.
6 each diesel ryder, mi5, and onyx. also a femed sour cream from dna and a fem chronic from serious.
they were started in jiffy pellets then put in 16 oz cups with a 75%, 25% mix of happy frog and vermiculite. when they were 2 weeks old they were transplanted into a mix of my creation. 1 bale pro-mix, 1 bag worm castings, 2-3 handfuls of polymer crystals, and 4-5 handfuls of marine cuisine. thats it. mulch was added when they were tall enough to get a 2-3 inch layer.
i supplemented with silica and made light teas with the marine cuisine while they were in veg, they took about 3.5-4 weeks to sex. they are now getting botainicare pure blend bloom and snowstorm ultra.
i had a good male/female ratio. only 4 males of 18, and there are 3 runts. so i have 14 fems and 11 of them are nice and healthy. ranging from 2.5-3 feet tall.
starting right to left 6-26, 6-28, 7-6, 7-12, the last 5 are from 7-24

thanks SmO, yea i know these can work indoors well but if you can grow from clone its faster anyway. outdoors on the other hand these are huge. you could do a seed run in the winter and in the spring start planting however many you want every week or two starting late may up until mid july. then you could have multiple harvests, and most will be before you need to worry about frost, mold, or rippers/hunters.

Holy fuck, 3 ft AF plants??? I thought due to their genetics they'd plateau at around 2 ft. Looking good man, good luck on the grow. AF plants are pretty easy and forgiving so you should realize a nice harvest here in a bit!

Common misconception that irritates me. Some AFs veg for a period and then flower automatically. Lowryders are between 7 and 16 inches and those are the shortest ones to my knowledge.

thanks for stopping through coda. yea ive been doing alot of reading on the auto flowers and i think that one of the most important things is container size. light is huge too but my plant are straight in the ground, while my buddy has a few that are in 5 gallon buckets.
my plants have taken a more vertical growth pattern and the tallest is three foot. id say the average for the 11 larger ones is about 2.75 feet.
my buddy on the other hand has sum bushy girls none over two foot prolly averaging 18 inches.

heres some pictures form july 30. we got hammered with rain for two weeks so i think they started to fade really early. i hit them with a top feed of marine cuisine and watered with my pure blend bloom and a silica supp. they are looking good though. thrichs and smells are starting to develop. some seem farther along than others so i might have a slightly staggered harvest.

Awesome. I was wondering how they were flowering until I realized what AF was
I wanted to grow some auto flowers this year but never got around to getting the seeds. I wish I would have.

No doubt, words of wisdom. Something to learn from. I always tell myself that if I don't improve on the following attempt, then I have failed to learn my mistakes.

Yeah, but if you look on the flip side, you have some beans for next year, or sooner, if you venture into indoor gardening.
