I have never seen plants that look like that. Fat leaves, could pass as something other than cannabis. Is it just the nature of auto’s or just this particular strain?

[OzBud]

SheikYerbouti this strain is an indica/sativa hybrid but I'd say there's a lot more indica in the genetics hence the mega fat leaves

Online hydro store I buy from to save me a 1 hour drive to the poorly stocked local store. It's called the Elide Fire Ball. lasts 5 years then you throw it away (or into a fire) and get a new one. Works out to be less than $40 a year

I saw those fire extinguishers balls at my local hydro store last time I was there. The guy showed me a video of how they work, they’re like fire extinguisher grenades lol. So cool

[OzBud]

haha yeah. When it's 5 year life is up I'll throw it into a fire to see if it still works so I can see it in action and find out how loud it is.

I've been doing my normal plant rotating schedule. After watering, the plant that was on the right moves to the left, the other two move one space each to the right and all the pots get rotated 90 degrees clockwise.
I don't know why I do it but the sun moves through the sky so without a light mover this sort of helps the light reach more parts of the plants

Hey Ozbud, your plants are looking very nice.
I move my plants every day ,the same way as you,lol
Good luck with yours.

[OzBud]

Hey D.A.A.S.69 thanks for stopping by. I think there is definitely some benefit to moving and rotating pots, to what extent I don't know but I do it anyway.

[OzBud]

I started leaf tucking yesterday

[OzBud]

What do you do to your autos defol & training wise?
I'm pretty much just leaf tuck

[D.A.A.S.69]

Morning OzBud, well ,you can get ready to be disappointed, cause your sooner or later gonna get an auto that you want get 4ozs from, I can promise you.Every now and then you are gonna get a dwarf,.or either a bad one.
I hope you don't ever get disappointed
though, but it's coming, if you grow enough autos.
Good Luck with these. Mate.

I've tried everything I have heat pads with a thermostat controlling them room stays above 68 I must have gotten all the dwarfs for everyone else so happy growing all lol I truly believe it was the temps in the cellar the plants I started in Aug did fine and the plants that I just started are really going to town already bigger than anything grown this winter

Girls are 21 days old tomorrow, pics will come then. Girl #1 is beginning to show her private parts already and I can notice a slight smell when I walk into the garage now even though they're not flowering. My partner can't smell it though.

[OzBud]

Here's a quick look at the girls at 20.5 days. I'll take some more pics once I wake up a bit more and have some breakfast.

No topping or tying down, just simple leaf tucking & pot rotation.

That is one handsome image!!!!!!

[OzBud]

I've dropped the nutes back to 50%. The girls were handling 80-85% strength but the drain EC was climbing every day so although they didn't object to that much feed they didn't need it.
Waiting until the drain/runoff EC comes back down to about the same as their feed then I'll slowly increase it again when the girls tell me they want it rather than me telling them that's what they're getting

[OzBud]

not going to flush with one big watering, just water at 50% strength each day until the EC drops

[OzBud]

I noticed something strange last night while leaf tucking. One of the girls has a side branch that has 3 leaves per node when the rest of the plant only has the normal two. I'll get a pic of it to show you.

[OzBud]

Here's the weirdness mentioned in the post above all of these photos are of the same girl, girl #2 (I'm sure you've seen her in the credits of quite a few movies)
First photo is 3 leaves per node on a side branch.
Photo 2 & 3 is the same branch just the next node up at the top of the side branch.
Photo 4 is the main stem with 2 leaves per node
Photo 5 is a different side branch with 2 leaves per node.

OK so not much action going on in terms of pistil/budlet formation even though they're 24 days old but the girls STINK!!! I'm assuming this might have something to do with the terpinator. Might hook up the carbon filter today because I can smell them in the house even when the garage door has been shut all night.

Fingers crossed they are autos and not photos because I don't have the time to do a full photo run before going on holiday (flights and time off booked already)
