baby Tika, .......auto low rider #2

[NebulaHaze]

I'm loving this experiment! I saw you got a pre-flower! Have you noticed any pistils yet? Once they get started they go kind of crazy

[Green75]

Not as of this morning...would be cool if they are on there now...

Thanks for checking in....any suggestions

[Tika]

The pistils will be there shortly . At least 30,

[Green75]

Ooops I did it again....cut off 22 more fan leaves...she was begging for it folks....no signs of nute burn as of yet...today is day 26 from seed..

Very nice plant! You know I wonder if extensively training an auto-flowering plant delays it from flowering as quickly. It seems like it should be flowering by now, but I wonder if it knows it has been going through a lot! I only say anything because you're an experiment/science enthusiast, and I thought you might be interested In the past I've noticed a few other auto-flowering plants take longer than normal to flower after being extensively trained. I wonder if that may be happening this time. But every auto is different, and some naturally don't start making buds until Week 4 anyway, no matter what you do

It might be interesting to do an experiment with a trained and untrained auto-flowering plant side by side to see if you can use training to alter their time schedule somewhat. I've also heard that LEDs can mess with their clock, but it only seems to happen sometimes. If we cataloged all the ways to alter their time clock, possibly someone could even use that knowledge to their advantage! In this case it seems like a good thing that it's taking a little longer to flower, so it has time to get a little bigger first and really take advantage of your training!

Stress can definitely add time to your flowering schedule. Maybe this translates to autos to an extent. Interesting......

I love the side by side experiment idea.

[Tika]

Yes
add more caricatures to post

[Royal Nugs]

Silly goose!

Ever seen animal house?

You know that part when they're pledging and giving the oath?

The guy reciting the oath says, "repeat after me: I, state your name," all the pledges say "I, state your name...".

If you don't know what I'm talking about, you had to be there...

Your add more characters made me think about it for some reason....

[Green75]

She can have all the time she needs...

[Tika]

And yes! Add more characters to post

[Green75]

Here she is again at day 27 all recovered from yesterday's boning bash...lol....also look what else is happening....





My baby girl is becoming a lady....sweet....flower clock has started...

[Karlee]

Nice job Doctor she looks relieved.

Just for others, what is the longest recovery time you've had?

[Green75]

It's really always like this...with auto or photo...if you ever become a chicken boner you will see it as well.

The theory here I guess is can autos be mass defoliateed and forever bound it's whole life and still produce some weight and quality....we have to keep in mind she is a lowrider so more of a smaller plant anyway.
We shall see....

[Karlee]

Will you name this process? (you should)

[Tika]

I think this is a very generous gift Green...likely to change / stimulate new thoughts & processes. Making history!!!

[Green75]

Germinated my..fast buds- BlackBerry auto today...im going to main line her to 8 colas...should be equally fun I think....

The seeds I recently received from herbies head shop were mistakenly delivered to wrong house due to their labeling my address wrong...i was able to retrieve them tho...I let herbies know and they apologized and sending me a duplicate order...so now I have my next two photo grows planned out with the two different ones I ordered being conservative..now I can double each round and also Will have another blackberry auto to play with....sweet

@ karlee..What process are you referring to.....chicken boning..?.... Or...Auto manipulations....?

[Karlee]

The auto manipulations ....we'll work on chicken boning next!

[Tika]

After defoliating they look like chicken bones
Right Green?

[Tika]

Green..are you Irish! That is some luck!
How many more bud sites?

[Green75]

Geesh ...I went down and tried to count and lost count in the 60's.....obviously a good portion will grow in together but not all of them....man is she ever loaded!! White hairs have grown a lot since this morning....

Irish german...:-)

[Green75]

Tied her down some more....growing fast...

[Wattze]

It looks like she's just growing over the soil, just melting over it lol I have a low rider that I'm going to plant, so this is way fun to watch!

[Green75]

She is basically on the soil...about an inch above in most spots.....she is getting pretty crazy...

[Tika]

Yeah. She has s going to be a HUGE HEDGE!
