Californiakid's 1st auto journal

[Californiakid]

Found a few of these on top of one of a leaf.
No more outside privileges! I forgot that's why I quite doing that. Lol

[Californiakid]

Dude these are tiny ! I almost dismissed 'em. But I got out my "60x scope" and thought I took a few pictures but turns out only one. Lol
The picture is one of them on a small leaf. It's not much wider than the vein.
They leave "doodle art" on the leaves. Kinda like a squiggly line.
Crap ! !
Now that I think about it...I have morning glory growing in my yard. I had been putting my plants outside near them during the day. The morning glory has F'ing miners on it but it's wild so I haven't been tending to it ! Aargghh. Damn this is so obvious. 🤡

Aloner sometimes all it takes is talking with a friend to help solve a problem. Thanks Man !
Cheers Californiakid

[Aloner]

Just as long as you kill the fuckers!

[alltatup]

Californiakid It's so great that you figured it out through analysis of the situation! This is how we don't make the same mistake twice!!! It's BRILLIANT!!!

[Aloner]

I hate those bastards! Two rounds of neem oil showed 'em who's boss, though.

[Californiakid]

I've been able to avoid it this long, but I'm afraid I may have to buy some neem oil for my arsenal. I've never seen them in this stage. Only adults flying around.

[Aloner]

I was going over my plants with a magnifying glass twice a day and squishing all I could find. Fortunately it didn't blossom into a full blown infestation but I took longer than I expected to wipe them all out.

[Californiakid]

I ordered 15lbs of kind soil. Going to get roots organic after dinner. Anyone know how different the original is from the 707 mix? My local shop only has the 707, so I'll have to give it a try.

[Aloner]

I couldn't find much info online -- looks like there's not a huge difference and you should be ok. Maybe try asking Kind Soil if they know? I've never contacted them but I understand they're pretty responsive.

[Californiakid]

Thanks for checking around Aloner. I read that this and that but nothing convincing. So I am taking your advice and dropping an email when I get to work. See what roots organics has to say.

[Californiakid]

So I did some looking... Roots organics is produced by Aurora innovations. Great website with all the information that I was looking for. So here it is...

[Californiakid]

Purple Mazar



Critical Kush

These are sacrificial transition plants. Photos to autos.
I am finishing up a photo in flower on 12/12. You can see it behind the kush. So not to have any downtime these 2 autos are growing under 12/12. I don't expect to produce much. But I cannot just wait for the photo to finish before starting more. Every little bit counts.
Honestly I thought this photo would be done by now.

I have kind soil on the way should be here Wednesday. Roots organics original and fabric pots. Once I chop the plant in flower I will start 4 more autos. The lights will go 24/0. Then new seeds popped to keep the room full as flowers near harvest. At least that is the plan. Lol
Cheers

[Californiakid]

It's been almost 2 months since the last pictures were posted, my what a difference!

[alltatup]

They look freakin fantastic!!! When is harvest?

[Californiakid]

alltatup,
These are my first autos. I'm not really sure how much longer. But I'm guessing 3-4 weeks.

[alltatup]

Congrats on your first autos!!! Keep an eye on the triches!! ;-}

[Californiakid]

Critical Kush

[Californiakid]

[Californiakid]

The purple mazar is supposed to be a three foot tall plant. It's over 5 feet tall. Supposed to be indica dominate but clearly this one is a sativa.

[alltatup]

you definitely got the sativa phenotype on that one! ;-}

[Californiakid]

Some non led light pictures.
Coming along nicely dispite underwatering with alkaline water. Got a new verified ph pen. Live and learn.

[alltatup]

Looking really good, calikid!!!

[Californiakid]

[alltatup]

When's harvest?

[Californiakid]

Thanks ATU.
Should be starting to take the first colas in a week or so..
but I'm thinking I'll be taking it in sections. Some buds looks about where I think I want them and some have a bit longer to finish.

If I didn't let my ph get away from me they would likely be hanging already. Slowed some but still smell great.

Trichomes are mostly cloudy with a mix of clear. I'm waiting for a little amber.

[alltatup]

Cali, they may have slowed down, but they sure didn't get stunted!!! Great job.

[Californiakid]

Thanks alltatup. The resilience is amazing sometimes.

[Californiakid]

Any day I can start chopping colas. But I think I'm going to wait just to make sure that I'm being patient and not rushing it. Plus I can let it dry out some more the first cut.

[alltatup]

WHOA. whatta bud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to see that one trimmed. At least a 5-pounder...

[Californiakid]

I would be excited to catch a 5lb fish...if I grew a 5lb plant I'd do backflips. If I grew a 5lb bud I'd have a heart attack. Lol
The colas are about 6-8 long from the tip down to base before the nugs loose the tight uniformity/symmetry of a cola. A few staggered golf balls below. Measuring across the base they're about 3-4 in diameter. But dense! Hard to guess wet weight but I'm happy to improve and learn from my goober mistakes. 📝🗄🗝
Thanks for the compliment alltatup

[alltatup]

I really want to know what the harvest from that plant weighs after drying!!! A real beauty.

[Californiakid]

My plan is to start 2 more. Using kind soil and roots organics in 5gal root pouches. Now that my confidence is back in my ph pen, I'm confident that the next round should rock.

The purple mazar is still taking it's sweet arse time. Like any sativa would. But looking like she may produce some nice sticky buds after all. No pictures of her today. To difficult to haul her out for a picture. But I'll get some of her when I chop the critical kush.

[alltatup]

Where is the purple mazar hiding?
