The Great Auto Showdown

[starramus]

My first Autos so took NebulaHaze advice, and left them alone with no topping or fimming. May have to LST as my basement ceiling is only around 6 feet high. Have my CMH hung about as high as it will go without punching a hole in the sheet rock. As a last resort I might have to move them to the barn, and pay for some auxiliary heat.

[starramus]

One of the GG4s has plenty of side colas. Hopefully neither one will make it to your height predictions.

Ok here is the White Widow showing why I bury the trunk/limbs, just look at the limb with the nice root,,, so what do all y'all think?
I'll be pulling the White Moscow next in about 3 days,,, and then the Headbanger!

[oldjarhead100]

very nice

[Cloud]

Sorry it's been awhile since I've posted anything. Quick pic of the tent. Thing 2 is in front left and thing 1 front right. If anyone is curious the 2 in the back on the left is amnesia haze auto from seedsman and the monster on the right is Durban poison auto from new420guy. The Durban poison is DWC rest coco. All plants roughly the same age.

[oldjarhead100]

thats an auto holy shit you did it right for that one

[Cloud]

I don't know of its just me but I've been having bad germination rates with his seeds.

[starramus]

Cloud You are not alone. He hooked up with a bad breeder who burned him, and many of us very well. I received two DOA seeds from him which he replaced with 2 male seeds. Lots of wasted time, and fun & games!

[DaisyMoore]

Todays plants to be harvested. After these 2 have 1 left before I have another tent closed for now.

Hey, It's been very nice!

[Retodd]

DaisyMoore Welcome to our thread

[Rwise]

Has it been 3 days yet?? I cant wait!
This is the rest of the tap root from the White Widow
And do these roots look healthy?
And I pulled the White Moscow this fine morning
And some bud shots, I took more but I am no photographer,,,
Here she hangs

[starramus]

I see a naked foot in a couple of those pics! I am offended! At least put some socks on.

[Rwise]

LMAO Shhh dont tell my foot Dr. she told me never go barefoot!

[Spidermite]

People were posting pics of stems figured Id jump in on it.

[uncledoug]

Very handsome stem.

[oldjarhead100]

I like that ruler lol that was a healthy plant

[Colombo]

Hey Spidermite, I do the same as well as the roots. (washed off dirt) I believe it helps understand how your plants grow based on our help with lights and feeding. I actually was able to understand the two root systems! 2 1/4" is nice size!

[starramus]

Here's a wrong size down stem a dummy on ebay sent me. Won't fit the wife's bong cuz it bottoms out. Supposed to be a 2.5". Do I complain here?

[starramus]

Oh stems, not downstems.

[Spidermite]

No complain away. Just let us know who not to order from on ebay. Lol

[Canuck147]

A week later...………………...

[Spidermite]

Who all here uses foliar feeding on a regular basis. I honestly never have except for my Angel Trumpets outside. I know you do Canuck147. Do you notice a difference? Is it worth the extra time? I think I already get pretty good yields but there is always better.

[Retodd]

I’d folier feed daily or every other day with distilled water and about every 10 days with some fish emulsion.

[LurkingInTheGrass]

I 'spritz' - LOL

first - I just used plain water (not even pH'd)
then switched over to pH balanced, CALiMAGic'd, Armor Si'd water

then - after reading about Canuck147 'essence', I have switched over to using a liquid seaweed (has all the same things as the 'essence')

the magic is in the phytohormones (auxins, cytokinins and giberellins [spelling???])
the hormones, are all mobile - so, get them on\in the leaves - they go where they need to be (roots, tops, etc)

I spritz multiple times daily, through veg
not hosing them down
I stop spritzing after pistils
the leaves love it, it makes me feel better

I spent a whopping $4 (at a dollar store) on a pressure sprayer - makes a fine mist, only holds 1L of solution
(Mrs Lurking has seen it, and now wants it for her use)

[Canuck147]

Foliar Essence is based with cane sugar - when mixed up your water looks like molasses.

[starramus]

Canuck147 Back on the subject of stems what did that humongous stem of yours measure in at? You must have had to use a chain saw to take it down.

[Canuck147]

Didn't know we were measuring those. It's in the garbage, curbside as I type.

[Doubledealing72]

You should have framed it in a shadow box 😁

[Cloud]

starramus I did have decent germination results with the la berry fruta autos. Got 4/5 germed and 1 male. Growing these in another tent. I can have up to 12 plants.

[Rwise]

And the Headbanger, I cant get a good pic this morn of the hanging plant,,, nerve damage,,, I did try to keep my naked feet out of the pics,,,
See the poof of roots from what was above ground?

Bud shot,,

[Mjdub]

Hello everyone I'm new here but I was looking around on this site and found the showdown I have 4 BigDevil#2's autos I have a problem I unwittingly lowered my leds to 18 inches at start of preflower and 5 days later I'm dealing with light stress does anyone have any advice I raised my vipars to 27 inches should I go higher I have slight tacoeing and the 3D leaves can I reverse this without causing further damage?

[Retodd]

Welcome to our thread. I’ll tag Spidermite and Canuck147 for you. They are super pros

[Spidermite]

I am not really seeing any damage to your leaves. What watt viperspectrum do you have? During flower 18 inches should not be to close

[OzBud]

I haven't done a post for a couple of weeks. Here's the Auto lady at almost 14 weeks old now I think it is. She's on week 12 ripening nute mix at the moment. Going to start flush tomorrow maybe. Already cut off probably two big handfuls that had bud rot but the weather has been fairly dry recently so she's been alright since then.

[Retodd]

I live in Kentucky and in a totally private farm and have to admit I’m a bit jealous of you being able to use a greenhouse. I thought that they were easily temperature regulated. I had one on my ranch in Colorado and used a heater in mine during winter. I had it fully automated though.

[Retodd]

Btw, what strain is in your profile pic?

[OzBud]

not sure. Mystery seed from Grass O Matic. Sugar Gom I think.
