The Great Auto Showdown

[starramus]

Looks like you've got plenty to keep you busy over the summer. Enjoy your bountiful produce!

[Doubledealing72]

Thanks! I've already started lol

[Rwise]

The Snowryder came in right on time (+2 weeks)! The Himalaya Blue Diesel is looking to be on time as well (about this time next month)
So many nice looking girls in this thread! I can get lost in the pics,,,,
The Snowryder was not topped, but twisted and tied down

[Retodd]

Give my best to your gf.
I have your totals from your WW, WM, and headbanger. Let me know the total on this one too. PM me.

[Rwise]

Thanx, she needs all the thoughts prayers she can get!
Will PM the total when (almost) dry.

[Spidermite]

Rwise prayers. Do you think the roots actually make better meds? Just wondering my wife has surgury the 18th to have 2 tumors removed. Interested in your thoughts on the roots for meds.

[Spidermite]

LurkingInTheGrass how much longer till your harvest? Your buds have had me drooling for awhile now.

[LurkingInTheGrass]

Spidermite
OMG - you sound like Mrs Lurking
"how much longer?"
"and then after they are cut down, how much longer?"
truly though - thanks for thinking of me

they are still standing - I was hoping to be Chopping Broccoli

Mr.Furleys Froto's

I have started a Perpetual grow with two grow areas and a multi use germination/drying area. The Idea for my small space (49sqft total) is a couple mother plants, some new seeds from time to time and a three week rotation with 7 to 9 weeks flowering strains.

The biggest challenge is the individual attention each plant needs at a different stage, although they may all be on water night, not all will get the same treatment. I have decided that the flowering tent (12sqft) will be in rotation with only three plants at a time, although I have 4 in it right now do to a hiccup in scheduling for a week and a half fish-cation and the fact that Tahoe OG is a 10+week strain LOL.

Enjoy the pictures.

102 days from germination Tahoe OG


just about two weeks left

Girl Scout Cookies clone, no signs of the Polyploidy trait from its mother.



Fruit cake punch 54 days old 12 days in Flower. She is perfectly spaced with 9 strong tops, I'm pretty proud of this girl so far.


Back of the house shot from a month a go.


Happy growing peeps.

[Spidermite]

Very nice. Beautiful. Keep us updated.

[starramus]

The GSC is certainly a snow queen. Lookin great, but I'd hate to have your electric bill. Going to shut my lights off soon, and heat. Let the power company file bankruptcy!

[Mr.furley]

The room cost about 50 bones a month and I have started to drop the heaters down, it's air conditioning I'm worried about.

[Retodd]

BurningTeddy I never did get your dry weight. I have your wet as 266.7gr. Pm me and let me know.
Have had a great competition so far. Let me know who all I’m missing.
I have canuck, uncledoug, furley, juicyj, spidermite, rwise, and mcubed.
🙏🏼✌🏻

[oldjarhead100]

50 something grams dry

[Spidermite]

Did your ground thaw yet oldjarhead100? It was 86 degrees here yesterday. Just hoping we dont get that last frost we get in april.

[oldjarhead100]

So I was able to get the base finished yesterday ,so the GH set up starts today MAYBE lol 86 holy shit thats hot to me lol it was low 60s and supposed to get up to 63 today .

Last year I had put down cardboard and straw for weed control and anywhere I did not remove it is still frozen hard as a rock

[Spidermite]

Well we have a few days a year in the 70s each spring and then boom you wake up one day and its 101 outside. So I'm enjoying the few days of spring we get. But its probably just a joke mother nature is playing. Makes all the farmers happy and start planting and then boom 27 degrees one night. Lol

[RagWeedDWC]

I live where the weather is having a VERY hard time making its fricking mind up.

[Spidermite]

Who all has started on spring/summer grows. Either inside grows or outside grows? Both mine are started, but i know most cant start outside for a good bit still.

Just interested in what everyone is doing or planning.

[LurkingInTheGrass]

no start yet
won't be for at least a month, maybe two

no outdoor planned, dammit, now Im thinking about it
/thinking
would have to be guerrilla, they want serious fencing for legal outdoor
with plenty of south facing sun
looks out window
/end thinking

still have snow here, but will be able to scout around soon

[Spidermite]

No worries we have all summer.

[Rwise]

My outdoor girls will be late, cept for 1 auto I will do outside.
Bruce Banner 3
Rusty Glue F2
Tajikastani Hash Plant
Colombian gold
Mazar I Shariff
and the auto is a cross between Headbanger (58 days) and a Himalaya Blue Diesel (120 days)
The photos will be ran inside (sent early to flower) and outside on mother natures schedule.

[KTM690]

Ill post new pics of new auto grow tonight when watering new baby's need another round of training they must have forgot what I was trying to teach. Other 3 are doing great very healthy my sweet tooth is turning all sorts of cool colors which most do the widow is getting bulky and my lowryder is purple as all can be very pretty. Outdoor gonna b light a few autos in the yard and 1 or 2 in old mountain spot not a lot of time to spend this summer

[Spidermite]

Sounds like a plan. Cant wait for more bud porn to start popping up. Interested in how the outdoor grows will go this year. Hope bud rot doesnt hit like last year. Seems no one made it without at least some.

[LurkingInTheGrass]

...HAPPY SUNDAY TO ALL!!

a day late, and a dollar short (might as well be on my tombstone )



my Things are:

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

left: Thing 2
right: Thing 1
display order is switched up this week - same faces though



back right: Thing 2
front right: Thing 1




Thing 1
127 days from seed
79 days from pistils


Swollen, frosty Calyx


close ups








Thing 2
121 days from seed
79 days from pistils






as you can see, they still stand
they are still around 300ppm
pH has been bobbing around 6 with no effort from me

trichomes are still merrily turning white
ambers are appearing, but are slow showing
I was so excited last weekend LOL
they are starting to stress me out now

so - turn about is only fair play
I still rotate their pots 90 degrees daily

but made a slight change - so they have a different face directed at the lights

removed a lot of fans

still have plenty to gauge the fade

more light (see below)

calyxes have started noticeably swelling

Mrs Lurking actually used the word "chunky" to describe Thing 2

(ever so sloowly, I am converting her to the cannabis side muahhhahhahah)

Thing 1 is turning into a nice looking little yield - I was thinking lots of light and airy bud, but even some of the lower down buds that would be larf, are firm little nugs

Thing 2 just seems massive, a personal best for cola/bud size (multiple colas on Thing 2, beat my previous 'best')

to compensate for my super-hero like ability to procrastinate - I have moved plants around (I haven't put up any panda film)

the 1000w HPS is now showering the Things (and 2 other plants) with 20/4 light.

the space had been holding 7 plants and Things were starting to get more shadow than light

so - the 2x4 tent has been conscripted into super duty (as a veg tent) - and is holding 4-DWC clones and 1-clone in 6 g coco

[oldjarhead100]

@LTG what did you mean about having enough fan leaves to judge the fade ?

[oldjarhead100]

oh and they look amazing well done

[LurkingInTheGrass]

oldjarhead100

I left a few fan leaves, to keep an eye on yellowing out, so the sugar leaves don't start turning

Will throw up a pic, when I get home

[SirSmksAlot]

Here's a few pics of my current grow. They are gorilla from dinafem. They are 5 weeks for my transition from 18/6 to 12/12. And 3 weeks from the first sign of flower. I'm growing in a rdwc setup and I've got 4 of these girls growing at the moment. Other than a little light burn, I've run into close to no problems this grow! Knock on wood. Have a great day everyone!

[Retodd]

Welcome to our grow

[oldjarhead100]

they are huge , did you ever think about lolly popping them ,what i mean is cutting all the lower growth thats in shadow in the first picture , I leave up to 2 feet on the top so still lots of kolas ,you should check out the tutorial

[KTM690]

Here's this week's pics not the best but oh well

[KTM690]

I marked the photos on the strains

[oldjarhead100]

very nice they are shaping up very nice

[KTM690]

Thanks ojh I'm loving the autos. Works great for my wife and I with way faster grows 70 to 90 days beats 120 to 140. After trying a few different techniques I've found my grove next few runs are mephisto and nirvana genetics can't wait to send it happy growing

[Retodd]

Should have my summer grow in soil tomorrow. They all dropped, so all good viable seeds, plus have the widow autos going in the tent now. Hopefully we’ll all have a good season.

[oldjarhead100]

So I spent the day yesterday setting up the Green House frame , no male /female posts on this one everything is Mechanically connected ,could of sworn I took pictures but nope sorry and no plant pictures either guess I really dropped the ball this week lol.

Am I correct in thinking this is a male

[Rwise]

Looks that way to me,,,,

[SirSmksAlot]

oldjarhead100 i originally thought I was lollipopping. They were only 30" preflower. I do enjoy some popcorn nugs to make edibles from but this is going to be a bit ridiculous. They're over 7 feet right now lol

[oldjarhead100]

well done you should be very proud of them ,I only said about Lolly popping to increase the yields by getting those top bud huge kolas
