The Great Auto Showdown

[Canuck147]

I now have 6 autoflowers growing at once in my 3x3. Must be nuts. Summer is approaching and someone can park outside during waking hours. Plan on using a vipraspectra 300 outside on these cloudy days. I'll show pics after it is hung. Waiting on a lazy contractor to finish our roofing area.

some pics of the GH I'll be glad when all the extras are in the woods , the third pic is one of 2 plants out of all of them that the leafs curl up ,I havent looked up what it could be the same strain right next to it is fine ,so what do you guys think

[Rwise]

At this point I almost wish I had not planted outside yet, WOW anyone know some dude building a big ass boat and collecting plants 2 by 2? They tell me we have 3 days of sunshine followed by 10 days of rain,,,,, The auto in the garden that was hit by a grasshopper died. The others are way to wet! Instead of taking pics, I got out the baby tractor, put on her box blade and cleaned the drainage above the garden. Then inside the garden I cut another ditch to divert all runoff away from the girls
The clones are doing well, took 2 from the BB3, they should be ready to plant in another week. The MIS hermied, I freaked out and topped her, then oh shit why did I do that? I do have a few seed on her so I will have some feminized Mazar I Sharif for the next grow. The auto clone is alive, but not doing anything, not dying, not growing,,, a bit of purple.
A few days ago I said I would get pics from the GFs grow,,,I am slow but I got it done,,, first pic is a Headbanger (from my seed), as are the others cept the last one is a Sweettooth. The others are crosses of Headbanger and HBD, 2-White Moscow, Snowryder. Her Headbanger is almost twice as tall as mine got! She almost cried when I broke the top over on the HBD/Headbanger,,,,(3rd pic)
This is her first grow!
EDIT; BTW the Headbanger and Sweettooth are resques, they were both started in soil that was to hot. The Headbanger had no root what so ever when it was put in this pot. The Sweettooth was doing bad, also root issues from to hot soil, roots were washed and planted in calmer soil. This is also the plant my auto clone came from,,,

I think my autos did not get enough time vegging indoors before I put them in greenhouse do to away for about 6days and left in greenhouse but they also got stepped on by our dog jumping around inside chasing a robin. I'm going to give them a couple weeks now that they are safely outdoors protected feed them some good fish/bat/kelp tea and if they don't start turning around i'm going to plant 2 more photos instead. 2019 has not been a good start indoor or outdoor so far mother nature has been volatile. Good luck i'm catching up also.

30 days from emerging from the dark. The one with the swizzle stick is 'Think Big' - the other - 'Sweet Tooth'. Topped them both and pruned a few leaves to encourage the outer growth to become branches.

Nuthin to brag about here, but my partial outdoor grow is only half in and half out. I monster cropped a White Russian last fall, and she is my entrant for the outdoor grow in the heavy weight division. She is actually wider than she is tall at this point. I kept her on a somewhat diet throughout the winter not feeding nutes, and on the perimeter of my CMH 315. I kept her in veg until about two weeks ago when I started light deprivation. I have an old outbuilding on my acreage which I have boarded up the widows on for some lengthened simulated nights. I just slide her in and out of the door. I call her Mother Russia as she has furnished a number of clones, and will produce mucho bud. Her daughter Tsarina is to her left also two weeks into bloom. To her right is another clone that will be in veg until this fall. Second photo is of Tsarina well on her way to delivering some fantastic bud. I had planned on transplanting into a 15 gallon grow bag, but have decided not to disturb that massive root ball.

Just stared at your plants for another hour - I could have some fun in there with my scissors.

[oldjarhead100]

thats a monster brings new meaning to holy shit

[SoOrbudgal]

Beautiful

I have an old T8 set up in the basement which works very well for seedlings. Three tubes, and only 96 watts. I will move them soon to the barn and boost them with my T5s.

(1) Amnesia Haze, (1) Girl Scout Cookie, (1) Blue Widow, (2) Aurora Indicas, (2) Hashberries, (2) Purple Maze Kush, (2) White Widows, (1) Amnesia Lemon Kush which is unfortunately a mutant, and a partridge in a pear tree.

My problem child is still hanging on - trichomes are cloudy - few hints of amber

[Canuck147]

Thank you

[starramus]

Holy trichomes Batman I'd love to have your "problem".

[SoOrbudgal]

I want to adopt that problem

[oldjarhead100]

I was able to do some work in the GH yesterday ,I started on one side and moved all plants away and spread mulch straw then moving plants back I also got 3 of 5 plants planted in ground , as I came around the GH I found I have a beast on my hands ,I need to spend a couple of hours lolloping her and her sister ,but its may 31st and shes this big ,I cant wait to see her in September

I’ll have to admit I’m a bit worried. Here in Kentucky it’s been raining all the time and I’m afraid it’s going to be like last year. If we all have to deal with bud rot again......FUCK! My photos are still in my tent and are doing good, but suffering for not being in the good earth of my farm outside. It literally shows 4-5 days straight of rain. Please Ganja God...look out for us growers this year🙏🏼

[Rwise]

I fell the pain as well! The flooding here on PK is bad, haven't seen flooding like this since the 70s. We have had a 3 day break, with the next 10 days showing rain,,, bud rot yes I am concerned! The MIS was in flower when dropped into the garden, it is still not veging, days are getting longer, but will it drown before it grows,,,,,

[SirSmksAlot]

Feel free to send some of that rain up to Canada. It's, rained twice this spring in Saskatchewan. We haven't even had an inch of rain yet.

[starramus]

This year is the first in the last 25 years that there isn't a drought anywhere in CO. So whose rain are we getting? CO may become a tropical forest in more ways than one.

[Spidermite]

The rain is so bad we are having to dig trenches and move green houses.

[SoOrbudgal]

Boy that's a farmers luck, seasons are more unpredictable these days. Best of luck good gravel will really help I hope for ya.

I started looking into pollinating my auto ducks so I can use the seeds to plant a bunch in the yard (seems like such a great outdoor plant). I was disappointed whem I found out I can't take some of the good pollen a friend has (photo pollen) and make more auto duck seeds.

I think I need to take a clone from it and spray it with silver so it becomes a male and this will make true autoflowering auto duck seeds. My question is with the plant being 40 days old is it too late? They say it finishes around 70-80 days.

Worst case scenario I pollinate with the photo pollen my buddy has and I get a non auto plant with duck shaped leaves right?

[Retodd]

I answered your question on the other thread. You’d do just as well to ask questions on here.
My photos are the same age and they’re going outside tomorrow. They are crazy resilient and won’t have much of a shock. You’ll be ok.

[Retodd]

This will be the last time they’re all in the tent together. Photos are getting moved outside tomorrow. The place they’re going is a place I can’t get to in my wheelchair, so my mom will finish their grow and she’s a total ‘tard when it comes to using a iPad to take pictures....lol. Still have months for her to get it done, so I’ll post pix of them periodically.

[SoOrbudgal]

Hey i'm one of those Mom's LOL

[MmmHmmml3]

Retodd I almost did. I was just worried about asking too much at once or too long of a post on here. As you can tell I tend to overthink things sometimes.

What do you think of the question about cloning my auto duck (day 40) and making the clone a male to pollinate for more auto duck seeds? I saw the response to the other question, but not this one.

It would have been much easier to put them both in the same place here.

[Rwise]

I make my own seed from time to time, even do some cross breeding. I have a Mazar I Sharif hermied now making feminized seed. Use your choice of sprays to make it a hermie, spray it once a day for 2 weeks, watch the balls pop out and open, collect and use the pollen, set back 6 weeks while those luvely seed ripen!

Hello fellow growers i'm back from our road trip to the "little alps" of Oregon. Saw a large hemp farm in person my first ever lovely scene. Great weather here now but got a little hot last 2 days in greenhouse while I was gone upper 80 low 90f was in the upper 60s when I left. So got me some leaf curl going I didn't even bring my purse into the house got out of the truck and started watering and removing containers from inside. Put 4 autos in a wagon took them into some shade to recoup i'll move them soon as sun comes up and place them in their home in the sunshine. My 2 white widow autos seen to tolerate the heat more? The 2 GDP autos got curly leaves hopefully the partial shade for a day and a good well water will iron out the curl !! First time growing autos outside my photos love the heat so learning curve. My autos are 2ww,2GDP,1sweet tooth 1durban poison some from seedman some from newguy420. My photo fems are 1 burnt cookie,2mama mia ,1 white widow and 1 critical kush. Photos are in 10gal autos in 5gal. If they do well i'm trading a few for a different variety. I like riding the crazy train of different strains at least for outdoor.

Day 75 for the 2 Sour 60's, the smaller plant is turning amber so I'll start flushing in another week. The taller Sour 60 is about 1 week behind. The Northern Lights are at Day 32 and the manifold seems to be going well except I lost 1 of the 8 colas, must have snipped it accidentally when removing fan leaves, I didn't notice it until the next morning when it shriveled up.
