Mainline vs Double Mainline - Grow 6

[Doubledealing72]

Today is day 110. Still slowly chugging along, she has quite a few more orange hairs than last week. I would say another week or so and she will be ready to chop. So it will be a green Christmas for me lol.

Since I wanted to be in the auto show down, I decided to start a bubba Kush Auto. Needless to say it's a little tight in there lol.

Have a good week everyone.

Thanks everyone! Good genes!

What a monster

She's crazy big!
Good going!

I know. I certainly wasn't expecting it to go this long, but it will be worth it in the end!

Its just bonkers how big it is

Today is day 103. This plant keeps on growing. She still has quite a few white hairs. Oddly enough, the top colas have more white hairs left on them than some of the lower colas.

In one picture of the corner of my tent, there are buds down there I didn't even know she had 😂

Still pressing on, still thinking 2 weeks minimum. I'm not even sure how much I'm going to get at this point. Optimistically, I'm thinking 12 oz off this one plant. I'm so excited to harvest this one!

My seeds should be here today, and even though this plant isn't done, I'll be starting one to enter way late into the auto showdown. I'm pretty sure my choice will be bubba cheese.

Have a great day everyone!

I was curious to see what electricity was costing me for my grow, and based on Nebula's formula, I'm paying $36.50 per month in electricity for my entire setup.

4 55 watt cobs, a small oscillating fan, a table top fan, and my exhaust fan. I pay 15 cents per kilowatt hour in my area, and I'm using a total of 338W.

So in this grow, I'm currently around $120 in electricity. I'm using Megacrop nutes which costs next to nothing for how much you get. Growing has saved me so much money!

Yeah that is pretty neat. And yes some autos get huge and can go 110 days or more.

Today is day 96 for the gorilla glue auto. She still has quite a few white hairs and has at least 2 weeks to go. I have quite a few branches held up with thread.

I wonder how big she is gonna get lol. This will be the longest I've ever had an auto grow, but it seems like the extra time will pay off.


In other news, my wife bought a cricut (a machine that cuts vinyl and cardstock into whatever you want it to say), and I had her whip up a list of all the strains I have successfully grown so far (I didn't think it would be right to include the names of the strains that never made it to harvest lol). I have it in my tent and I think I'll add to it as I continue to grow.

Have a great week everyone!

I forgot to jar up the bud last night after I got out of work, so this afternoon I realized I let it dry a little bit too long lol.

However, even with it being crispy, I managed to get 121g (4 oz 9g) off the double mainlined gorilla glue #4 auto. Almost double what I got off the single mainline. The buds on this one weren't huge, so I am very happy with this number!

So far, that puts me at 6 oz 17g off this grow. I'll need 9 oz 11g off my gorilla glue auto that still remains to hit a lb, and since this appears to be the biggest plant I have grown yet, there is a distinct possibility of acheiving this.

Thanks to everyone who has helped me since I became a member on this site. I never would have thought I could grow like this.

Have a wonderful day everyone!

Thanks 9fingerleafs! I have to agree, that plant is taking up the entire 3*3 tent lol. Partly why I probably harvested the other one earlier than I should have. I wanted to make room lol.

[9fingerleafs]

those colas are crazy big, congratulations my friend

[Doubledealing72]

Today is day 92 for the girls. It was also harvest day for the gorilla glue #4 auto. Some of the lower buds were nowhere near done, but it's too late now lol.

Now only the gorilla glue auto that was double mainlined remains. She has at least 2 weeks to go I'm guessing. She still has mainly white hairs and is continuing to stack. I've got some branches being held up with thread because the buds are too heavy. I'm very excited to see what this one yields.

As for the gg #4 I took down today, I'm guessing around 3 -4 oz.

The gg #4 single mainline that I took down a little over a week ago yielded 66 grams. Just under 2 and a half, which is about what's expected on the single mainline technique that I've used.

Have a great day everyone!

Thanks Redwasp, I'll be looking forward to yours as well!
