The Great Auto Showdown

[Retodd]

MmmHmmml3 I just did some more training and trimming on my widow autos tonight and I’m 4 way fluxing them. You popped in my head, so I thought I’d show you a pic. Hope it helps ya a bit.

[MmmHmmml3]

How old are these? I didn't know you have enough time to do this with an auto. My ducks are crazy small at 1 month, but starting to think they are fine and just grow small.

[Retodd]

They’re almost 2 months, but they’ve been on 18/6 lighting. I switched them all to 24/7 last night.

[oldjarhead100]

I just took a look at the video ooops I tied the side branches down like he said but I didn't trim off all the nodes I left them to go vertical we will see

[Retodd]

He also does just the two mains. We’re doing 4. He’s doing a photo and I’m doing a auto again. It’s all in good fun anyway.

[oldjarhead100]

I'm scared to try it on autos dont they go into bloom to soon

[MmmHmmml3]

Thanks for the feedback, pretty sure I will transplant and let it get big. I know this is probably tough, but can anyone give me a rough estimate of the max dry yield you can get from a 2, 3, 5 and 7g pot? Let's assume a well trained plant in great condition.

[Spidermite]

That is impossible to answer. Ive gotten 6 ounces from a 3 gallon. Ive gotten 2 from a 10 gallon. But ive also gotten over 18 ounces from a 10 gallon inside. Outside in 25 gallon gotten 2 pounds. So depends

[SirSmksAlot]

Just Jarred up my harvest of gorilla. Pretty damn happy with this round! Got 39 dry ounces from 4 plants but one of those girls was a runt and got completely shaded out by my other big girls. They buds are a bit fluffy but absolutely covered in stickiness.

[SoOrbudgal]

Great job Sir happy happy

[Spidermite]

Nice job mate. Have fun burping those jars. Trust me when i say burping jars gets old when youhit a certain number.

[Retodd]

Laughed hard at that one! I know your pain bro...lol

[SirSmksAlot]

It's definitely been a bit of a pain but oh well, better than only having a couple jars to burp lol

Hi everyone, Today is Day 61 for my 2 Sour 60's, and Day 18 for the 2 Northern Lights. I'll be soaking 2 Blue Mystic in two weeks. Starting with the N.L. I'm switching back to 5 gal pot's from 3 gal. I know lot;s of folks use 3 gal but in my environment it seems as though my plants grow better in the 5 gal size so we'll see how it goes.

[SoOrbudgal]

Hi uncledoug sure looks good. I put my outdoor autos in 5gal. fabric pots this summer. Yours should love it. Beautiful plants, have fun

[uncledoug]

Thank you for the kind words folks. I started the Manifold of NL Plant 1 a few minutes ago. #2 needs a few more days to strengthen up before I top her. Another good reason for me to use bigger pots, it's gives me more room to train.

[oldjarhead100]

I use 3 gallon pots i"m in coco and water 4 times a day, I used bigger pots last grow and it was really hard to get all the plants watered correctly,but outside definitely 5 or bigger

[Canuck147]

These are pics of "Think Big" - and she is - bulking up very nicely . Seed producer says I have about another month of bulking up.

[Canuck147]

And I thought I stunted her - was supposed to be a five footer.

[oldjarhead100]

it looks amazing Canuk

[RagWeedDWC]

Now that is a mess of colas!

[Retodd]

Happy Saturday fellow growers! I switched my lighting to 24 the other day and they’re all doing great! I was going to do some pruning today, but I will tomorrow on their water day. I’m just itching to get the girls outside. Still waiting till the first though. Starting to show some trichomes on one of my ww, the one in the back. I’ll have to do more training on her soon. Close inspection of my one glue is starting to show bloom. Guess we’ll see better in the next week.
Cant wait for y’all updates
🙏🏼✌🏻

[Spidermite]

Ok tomorrow is training day. But here is my satarday update.

[SoOrbudgal]

Beautiful Spidermite your tent is going to run-ith over

[oldjarhead100]

they do look very healthy they just bring a smile to your face lol

[Colombo]

Lot of salad after this trim LOL.

[Mr.furley]

Hello Saturday, hadn't done a Shatterday post for a bit sooooo.....

Just cut down the two Fruit Punch Cake from N420guy.

It is a photoperiod Feminized seed with a breeders flower date of 50 to 55 days, and at day 53 I'm done. What I gained in speed I feel I lost in quantity, my hope is that it is of high quality and by far has been a beautiful plants to grow with brilliant orange and lime green color throughout flowering.

FCP A


The pictures really don't do the plants Justice.

[oldjarhead100]

they look great Mr. Furley Spidermite what size light do you use on your autos?and is that dry weight

[Spidermite]

Yes that is dry weight. Also thats using 1000watt mh/hps hydrolux bulbs.

[Mr.furley]

Thanks all for the love.

[Retodd]

So, are they starting to classify as a SOG yet? I can bring myself to prune the starters yet. I was going to the other day. Later on today tho I need to do more training on the widows. Back left and front right corners are the new ones. I think they’re 2-1/2 weeks old. I don’t really keep track of ages. It’s a glue and 2 iced grapefruits. Iced grapefruit front left corner and glue right back corner with the two widow autos fluxed in the center.

[oldjarhead100]

Looking good retodd ,

[oldjarhead100]

We went out to Pittsfield on Thursday about 80 miles away ,took the rv with the birds had a great time very strange but a good time we went to a wedding on Saturday My wife's ex in laws they invited her but not her ex , I only knew 6 people but they were all sitting with us so we had a good time , my update will be tomorrow I'm harvesting today at some point ,lots to do today before lol

[Rwise]

So many nice plants that all y'all have posted!!!!

My HBD is again showing new flowers, another month and we'll see if it was worth while to double crop it.
The clones are doing well, 'cept the sweettooth auto is not growing.
Out in the garden, well its way to wet, and raining! The girls have not shifted to veg, and I am thinking that when they do i will top them. The Colombian Gold has shed the side leaf,
I had hoped they would go back into veg by now,,,,

[oldjarhead100]

I never had much luck with the double cropping I needed the space for the next round ,never thought of putting them outside, now if only I had something to recrop lol

[Spidermite]

oldjarhead100 are you guys talking about putting a photo plant back into veg after you have harvested it? I do it all the time but have always called it monster cropping. The main reason being that the plants turn into bushs and are usually alot bigger than their first run. I am pretty sure I always got better yields out of a monster cropped plant. So if thats what your talking about it is worth it.

[Rwise]

Well mine is an auto,, call it an experiment, I took about 2/3s of it,,,
and I plan on doing this with the photos in the small pots too. Once they bud out, harvest from them and reveg them, then back to flower.
And the one I have been calling CG is not, it is the MIS

[SirSmksAlot]

Got my one auto fruit punch put into its final home yesterday. I decided to go with a 10 gallon fabric pot. This is my first attempt at an auto so fingers crossed. I'll be putting her outside after the first full moon in June which I believe is the 3rd. Hope she gets enough sun to produce something decent!

[Retodd]

Thanks for the reminder on the full moon. I’ll be moving my photos outside too. Good luck
