The Great Auto Showdown

[Cloud]

Found the main stem on thing 2 split down the middle 😣

[oldjarhead100]

wow thats great I never would of tried that I tape or just leave them I will have to remember this one because I know i'm never going to split a stem again lol thanks

[Retodd]

Actually, old school method is to split main stem with a nail and leave it. You do it at the beginning of bloom and it makes for fuller buds. My mom used to do it. It’s never really been proven as fact, but I know of a few growers that still do it.

Retodd
The plant that I accidentally split the main stem was one of two clones.from the same plant and it produced twice the weight as its sister, I split the stem by accident in the flowering stretch. she is the one on the right

High street training.

[Mr.furley]

Wednesday weed

[Spidermite]

Mr.furley can we get a height reference on that plant. If they keep filling out those are mighty impressive buds even for photos.

[Mr.furley]

Spidermite
Last check plant was 32" from medium

[Spidermite]

Yes gonna be some very big buds indeed. Nice job

[Spidermite]

Someone posted what they thought was bad foxtailing. This is bad foxtailing.
The heat that got the other plant caused this. Other 4 are fine. And thing one is probably gonna produce the biggest heaviest fastest buds in the contest. She wont win on total weight but she is gonna have massive buds. That's thing 6 above.

[RagWeedDWC]

Thank you! Posting this, was perfect. And, mistakes are what happens on the path to success. Just a bump in the road with a lesson learned rattle.

[oldjarhead100]

your right spidermite I try and post all my mistakes how else are we going to save others from making our mistakes lol

[KTM690]

My girls were drinking like fish for week had to give them good waterings every 2 days. But they must have slowed down and forgot to tell me until this morning lol. Just a bit late after I watered to runoff and they didn't want that much poor girls look like hell this morn

[Juicyj89]

Probably longer than a week. More like two. Oh well. Patience is a virtue.

[Spidermite]

As long as the sugar leaves are green can go a long time more. Well for the way I like it.

[KTM690]

Hope my sweet tooths can get close to yours. Your grow has had me jelly for a while now 89 not sure what it is many things but your plants look amazing. Congrats on your grow

[Juicyj89]

Thanks guys. But it was mostly the plants doing the work. Not me. I’m surprised they’re not dead haha

[Spidermite]

Thing one about 2 plus weeks left. The one pic is a 5 pound weight behind one of the buds. In the last pic my contest entry is the small one. All the other pics are her buds.

[KTM690]

Great looking grow. Some very pretty buds great colors. Great job spider

[Spidermite]

Thank you guys. It's been really hard this time for me for reasons some know. But my girls are like friends so no matter how bad life gets or what happens I have to see my girls. Not my best, no where near my worst, I'd be happy if I could just always have success in hard times like this grow.

[oldjarhead100]

Mutant Louie is smaller than the rest as well ,still amazing grow well done
Spidermite in all my years 60 (so not that many) one fact always remained no matter what and that was the creator never gives you more than you can handle, it just seems overwhelming but you will make it threw

[Spidermite]

Just also want to say that I'm impressed with everyone's grows here. We have had some setbacks here and there but man some of you guys can fucking grow. Lol

[KTM690]

Some very great growers on here for sure I'm getting the hang of things indoors started last yr when vermont went legal. Outdoors is my thing lol but might just a few now with my newfound love if autos. Hope the best for ya spider keep on trucking brother

[BurningTeddy]

Getting there!

Thing1 - Strawberry Cough - 5gallon roots organic over 5lbs kind soil

[BurningTeddy]

Just the main cola Mr.furley

[Mr.furley]

It's a grand cola BurningTeddy very nice.

[oldjarhead100]

that is a sweet kola well done

[Juicyj89]

Okay so I’m not going to be around tomorrow so I’m just gonna do my Saturday post now. Well, I’m pretty sure they’re almost done. I’ve got one that I’m fixing to check with the scope because most of the hairs are red but the others are still at least 50/50. They basically have no fan leaves anymore. It’s just sugar leaves. But luckily those and the buds are still green so I’m guessing they’re good until they’re finished. I’ll probab start flushing next water. Oh and they’re all 77 days above soil tomorrow too. So, without further ado...

[Spidermite]

Very nice plants.

[Canuck147]

Great job! That's a whole lotta colas.

[oldjarhead100]

somebody is going to have lots to smoke wow well done

[BurningTeddy]

Juicyj89 that's thing1. Thing2 is hanging in the closet, been almost a week, should be getting jarred sunday or monday.

Heres the tent:

[Mr.furley]

Thing 3 is Done.

Started on 11/21 broke ground 11/24, vegged till 1/3, and chopped tonight 2/22. 93 days to harvest on a GSC Feminized photoperiod plant with a 50 day flower time, my ideal harvest was 99% cloud all around the plant with a couple of Amber Tricromes here and there, I have been finding this just right for me with the majority of my smoke, this is my First GSC and I'm pretty excited for it.



and a clone from her is up to bat for the flowing Tent. It will be interesting to see if the Polyploidy genetics carry over.



THING ONE
IS STILL A BIT OUT, SHE WAS PLANTED A WEEK LATER (11/27) trying to be as close to the start date of 12/1 with my official entry plant, Durban Poison is confined to the tent NOW due to floppy colas that are starting to bend and break when I move her. She is 50% red hairs curled but still putting on weigh, tonight started water only.


Thank you for listening and Thank you for letting me grow Photoperiod in a auto show, I'm Really enjoying everybody's plants and participation.

GROWERS LOVE.

[oldjarhead100]

well done mister furley

[LurkingInTheGrass]

weeeeeeeeee

curious about the 'lions head'
is it a thick cola, all the way through? or just spectacular at the top? looks great, btw

that poison looks SICK
and, only a few weeks left

[Mr.furley]

The Lions head is a beefy stock as big as my thumb stacked 12 plus inchs of soild bud, it's going to be a pain to trim as it grows to a massive leafy bulb point up top.

[Colombo]

Hey Mr.furley , Congratulations on a beautiful grow and harvest ! It was truly a pleasure to watch and learn from your talent throughout this grow! Keep doing what your doing !! Good Growing !!

[Mr.furley]

Thank you very much.

[Juicyj89]

So the potential harvester was right on. I busted out the scope and checked all the mains and they were all showing about 5-10% amber trichs. Or I guess that’s a close percentage. Lol hell I saw more than one amber on more than one calyx so I took 5 big mains off the top. Left the rest in the tent to see if it’ll finish. But the ones I took were super ready. Fixing to hang to dry and should be ready go jar when I get back Monday! At least I have a little to try first. Oh and it came out to 56 grams exactly lol. So I should expect 1/3 dried right? Just trying to calculate I might have all together. Happy growing. Juicy.

[oldjarhead100]

total grams 56 times .25 = 14 normally you would divide this by 28 (28 grams in an ounce) and that will give you your total weight
very nice plants

[Juicyj89]

Haha ouch. Okay so question, and in case you don’t know I’m asking everyone, when a breeder or seed bank or whoever say a plant usually yields 100g indoors or the 400 g/m2...are they talking wet or dry weight? Just want to be able to somewhat compare. And I’ll go browse the internet for an answer too, if just rather hear it from one of y’all. lol tia

[Retodd]

Juicyj89 I’ve wondered the same thing for years...lol. It would have to be wet weight tho. Most I’ve ever gotten dry from a single plant was around 32 oz and that was like 20 yrs ago on a 16’ Afghan. The main stalk was the size of my arm. I’ve seen Jack Herer grow the same size. That’s why I was excited to see what oldjarhead100 was gonna fare on his. Outdoors they can be monsters!

[oldjarhead100]

wow after seeing everyone's grows i'm kinda disappointed in mine its hard to remember im two or 3 weeks behind I didn't plant mine until 12/15 but here gos I have 5 in bloom and 5 not in bloom mutant Louie is the 6th picture it is smaller than most height wise but well see how she turns out ,the one in the back right corner looks about half dead ,I think im going to pull her out and see whats what ,I'm also going to water with less so I can water more often , I have been giving them open sesame,

[Juicyj89]

Big difference since last post. Looking good.

[KTM690]

Ill post tonight my small girl is doing great super dense buds I'm thinking I've killed my nice plant to much of something last water she turned overnite so gave her 3 gallons of fresh water this morn the last runoff test was good the first was traumatizing. Ill hope for the best over the next few days but the buds look like they fell apart from nice and dense to this ugly fluffy shit. First auto run do no biggie but I'm thinking she was on her finish run and I gave her a modest dose of my mix lol

[Rwise]

I too am disappointed, the first 3 were due 1/20, still not close as in 2-4+ weeks yet to go,,,
The Headbanger, White Widow, and White Moscow were said to be 65 days, seed dropped 11/20 all were up within 48 hours.
