The Great Auto Showdown

[Rwise]

Ok I have a question, I need to cut my lights to 14.5/9.5 for a photo plant. How will this affect the autos that are due next month? Is that going to slow them down? Then after 3-4 weeks of growth 12/12 them long enuf for this plant to tell me what it is, then back up to 18/6.

[Rwise]

That's what I am thinking, also never done autos, but how much will it slow them down,,,

[RagWeedDWC]

Can you move your photo in and out? Should not take long to determine the sex.

[Juicyj89]

Okay so the way I see it is yes, you will probably loss some weight because as said above light is food and if they go from an abundance to a limited supply they basically be going on a diet. But again this is just my opinion and some what educated guess. Either way, they will still produce.

Thing 2 White Moscow Day 52. Well I can post pictures now, not sure what happened but any pics that I tried to post when the server got full won't load, but previous pics or new pics will. So for those of us still having problems, I suggest taking new pics and try posting them.

[Retodd]

Still a toss up on what to do with them. The fish emulsion has helped a bit. No matter what I’m gonna start 2 more this weekend in solo cups. I figure that during the two weeks they’ll be getting ready in them will determine what I do with these two. God, they were so beautiful a couple weeks ago too.

[oldjarhead100]

that is sad dude so sorry

[LurkingInTheGrass]

are they wet yet? get attached to some sexy new ladies

[Retodd]

I said fuck it and put 2 jock horrors in their solos today, so their start date might as well be February 1st. I’m sure if anything I can fit another bag in my tent and use 1/2 my flux box for them. I’ll have a couple weeks to figure out how to work it out, but I’m still gonna be in the damned competition! 😂

The Jack Herer strain was developed by Sensi Seeds in the 90s probably after Jack's 1985 book which brought him notoriety. I do know that Nirvana bred the Jock Horror strain which is a play on Herer's name. As I stated the lineage between the two is quite similar. What I was wondering was difference of THC content between the two. I did research it and the average for Herer is 17%, and Horror at 18% both with a mark of 24% highest tested.

[Retodd]

I was off by a decade....lmao. My bad. I’ve seen some photos of some jack photos where they were 14+’ tall! I’m still trying to decide what I grow outdoors this year. I remember reading about the jocks at nirvanashop when I got them and liked what I read. The difference I found was just size, p,us these are autofems. I’m not expecting a large yield from them, but thought I’d give them a go.

[starramus]

Yes they can get tall. I have never grown a plant that tall probably because I have not planted directly into the ground. I am going to try that this coming season with an accidental strain invasive pollen created. I only know half of its lineage, but is some damn powerful shit.

[Spidermite]

Damn that's a leaf.

[LurkingInTheGrass]

a dollar says it was from Thing 3

[Mr.furley]

.76$ US. I'm a cheap Fluxer.🖒

[oldjarhead100]

so I pulled all the autos out and spread them out I have 2 plants with pistils with more on the way now all I have to do it pray that they grow tall lol I will take pictures before Sat

[LurkingInTheGrass]

...HAPPY SATURDAY TO ALL!!


my Things:
Royal Gorilla Automatic (Royal Queen Seeds)
50% Indica / 30% Sativa / 20% Ruderalis
56-70 days after germination



Thing 1
63 Days from Seed
15 Days from pistils




Thing 2
57 Days from Seed
15 Days from pistils





Ok - so, maybe I am enjoying these Things the other day, found myself in a headshop - almost bought a pack of Humboldt Blue Dream Automatic seeds. (dammit - I was hoping to forget about them )


So, 15 Days of flower? (since pistils anyway)
Thing 1 is still a little behind, she has pre-budlets, compared to full on budlets from Thing 2

the last week has been great, watching them stretch. as of yesterday I will no longer do anything further to Thing 1 (except for tucking and/or plucking). I may have secured a branch or three down

I took the pictures Friday evening - it was res change, they were sitting in front of the tent, side by side, nobody had manhandled them


green thoughts for all

Good Saturday to all!
I have been working on the yellowing, hope it shows! Going back into the records, I have been running them to dry (water about 7-12 days), and to hot from the lights. I have raised the lights a few inches letting heat escape.
It seems that the compacted soil holds water in the compacted area, and was where I was checking moisture. Probing many different areas revealed the issue, and points to the need to recondition this soil by adding perlite for the next round.

The sulfur really helped on the headbanger, along with water!
All these girls are getting phosbat (0-15-0), banana juice, brier rabbits black strap (certified non GMO), "Fish sh!t", roots organics uprising bloom anything else I should be giving them? (yes water!! LOL) Maybe calmag?

WOW the Himalaya Blue Diesel is 28" tall and growing fast, flowering since 21 days old. I have to raise the lights an inch 1-2 times every day. She is said to take 120 days (and we know that means about 134 days), really shes going to make flowers for over 100 days!?!? I have not done anything with her as I want to see just how big she is going to get.

The White Moscow and Snowryder have the most training, White Moscow had no center top to start with, but is now as tall as it was supposed to get.

[Canuck147]

Looking better and better - good job!

[Rwise]

Thanx!

[oldjarhead100]

looking really good well done

[Doubledealing72]

Today is day 54 for the Bubba Kush Auto. She is looking really healthy. The last time I grew this strain it also remained healthy throughout the entirety of it's grow. Humboldt has some really good genetics because it looks similar and smells the exact same.

I did some defoliating today because she was looking bushy.

Happy Saturday everyone!

[Tika]

Beaytifullllll!

[oldjarhead100]

very nice thats a really nice shot on the attached file . I think I could wire a house with all that wire lol

[Doubledealing72]

Thanks Tika and OJH! She's turning out to be a wonderful plant!

[Retodd]

Saturday post! Well, took off all my training wires and ropes, topped off my box with soil and turned it where the ashes were, and set in the solos that have the jock horrors in them. I cut off more branches of SR on the right, one good one by accident! Doesn’t look like JR is gonna do much, so more than likely a jock will go in its place. Left side of SR seems to be recuperating pretty good. I’m slowly training her a bit towards the back just in case I leave that jock there and will train around it. By next week we should be seeing them sprout. If need be I can fit one more bag in my tent. All in all I’d say fluxing is a good way to grow. I just had to learn from a stupid mistake. It still has 16 colas on it, plus a couple smaller ones. Guess time will tell.
All your others are looking great btw.
Until next update
🙏🏼✌🏻

[oldjarhead100]

amazing what they will recover from

[Retodd]

oldjarhead100 Guess well just have to see right ole buddy? I have a feeling I’ll be cutting JR down in a couple weeks tho. It’s funny how 4am last night I’m just laying in bed with my headphones on and thinking of how I’m gonna train the jock on the right side of my box, thinking of doing a bit if spiral training on her....I’ll have the room and all those tie downs there after all.

[Juicyj89]

8 weeks above soil

[Juicyj89]

LOL no

[oldjarhead100]

very nice Juicy nope I catch up lol

[Juicyj89]

Thanks ojh! Yeah I saw your pics lol but you definitely will and hell I stated mine a week late lol

[Canuck147]

Good day everyone - had a busy week with Thing 3 - she decided she was going to shoot one cola up and up but I was trying to decide what to do. Was going to bend it over and tie it down but the stem was pretty strong and thick so...………...snip...……….. went the scissors after chopping off about six inches. Only had preflowers happening so it was easier now than later. Also defoliated her and that is why she is looking whispy and sad. She'll come around.

Thing 1 is quickly turning into a bush and Thing 2 is doing exactly what I expected, small bush.

[Juicyj89]

How big around is that main stem on thing 3??

[Canuck147]

I'll check the circumference tomorrow.

[Canuck147]

Circumference on Thing 3 - 3 inches.

[Canuck147]

Gave my girls their last spraying of Foliar Essence earlier this week. Producer says to spray once a week into the third week of flowering. I imagine they are speaking of photos so I just condensed the spraying - work week - that's 5 days right? So I sprayed every 5 days until they get to around where they are - cuz I don't spray on buds.

If your plant is suffering from a deficiency, producer says to spray foliar essence to quickly alleviate your problem - plant sucks the nutes in faster.

This is my third grow using Foliar Essence and y'all will see what it is good for when my buds fatten up.

[oldjarhead100]

thats all you use folier essence I love the stuff as a treat for the girls

[Canuck147]

No.....Green Planet nutes - molasses/tea blend

[Spidermite]

Star date 3285. Spotted some odd plants growing in a tent on an abandoned planet Scadflux 182. Here are the pics from today. They appear to have started growing on 12/1

[Doubledealing72]

Those buds are stacking nicely!

[Spidermite]

Yes they are going along very nicely. One plant is way ahead of the others but ak47 and Bluetooth from the out planet of MSNL. Both autos of course. But I think they will finish up nicely. Pic 2 check out the trichomes. These plants were only topped and defoliated once maybe twice. Seeing what leaving them unattended would do. No idea how Nebula got 8 plants in a 2x4. That's 6 in a 4x4 and no room.

[oldjarhead100]

nice looking buds

[Mr.furley]

Group hug

GO TEAM!

[Colombo]

Real pretty Mrfurley, that's quite a team! You could teach the Raiders a few things about team work and coaching, I think they would learn something. Keep it growing!!
