The Great Auto Showdown

[OzBud]

and here's some pics of her photo sisters in the greenhouse with her

[OzBud]

it's 3mx3m about 9'10" square I think. Absolute max of 6 untrained plants would fit in there. Or cram it full of SOG if you set up auto watering since there would be no access to the back

[Retodd]

Did you top them?

[OzBud]

I topped the photos, but only when they had pretty much maxed out on height. lucky for me no flower stretch

[oldjarhead100]

So I turned in my comp plant but have 8 more plants does anyone want me to keep posting about them?

[Spidermite]

Yes keep posting here. We are going to have our summer grows all together again so may as well keep it here.

[Retodd]

I’m still waiting on a bunch of totals oldjarhead100

[Rwise]

Not as many to take pics of this morn,,, The Himalaya Blue Diesel is fattening up though I hit her a bit hard with the banana juice and a few leaves show it. I think (hope) she will finish on time about May 7th. The Snowryder looks to be on schedule for harvest about April 7th
And time to chop chop the White Widow!

[Rwise]

What a mess around the HBD, I was not expecting her to sprawl out like that

[oldjarhead100]

cool storage jars and the girls look great , those lights look like a pita to use are they lol

[Rwise]

OJH I would pull them out, 'cept they are holding up that tall girl, IF I use them again I think I would tie them to a wire rack so I can move them out of the way as needed.
I luv those old jars and the zinks lid will go on them, they were still wet yesterday

[Juicyj89]

Okay so I’m sure I’ve posted some bs regarding my next grow but here are the final contenders for this summer. (2) Original Glue fem (2) Fruit Cake Punch fem (2) GSC reg (2) Cotton Candy reg. I’ve already started the GSC. They will be part of the outdoor as well as the cotton candy. The fem seeds will be grown indoor under my HO t5 fixture. Oh and one OG has broke soil as of today. I’ll post pics later. #happygrowing

[Spidermite]

Well Ill have at least 100 CBD T1 strains that Im picking up as clones thursday for my legal outside grow.

Inside I will have Original glue, Critical Orange Punch, Iced Grapefruit, and Stoned Henge.

I MAY also have Clarendon Candy, Baked Alaska, Critical Mass CBD, and Hairy Lemon that ill start in May.

Things may change but thats my current plan.

And if you want to grow legal cbd plants be aware the regulations and licensing takes months, money, and very nosey state employess walking your land.

If you havent read the dry and cure article Tika posted in her Garden of Earthly delights its worth a read.

[Tika]

Just saw this today🥴 thank you 😘

[LurkingInTheGrass]

...HAPPY SATURDAY TO ALL!!



my Things:

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



left: Thing 1
right: Thing 2



Thing 1
112 days from seed
69 days from pistils









Thing 2
99 days from seed
69 days from pistils








they are both doing GREAT!
lots of swelling and chunking up over the last couple of days. Thing 1 has really come out of her shell - I was thinking fluffy golf balls - but she has really come through and is making some nice looking, dense, nugs
still a goodly number of white pistils, mostly down low, lots of pretty orange threads

autumn is upon them


everything pretty much on autopilot :
check res
rotate netpot
take fading fans
smell sticky fingers
sweet (??) pine and fuel
water\care for rest of garden
get lost in trichomes (have to remember to do this one last - otherwise it takes for ever to water the garden )

nutes at ~400 ppm. Mostly CALiMAGic

trichomes (on buds)are still 70-75% clear, they have fogged over quite a bit, just in the last couple of days
yes, yes - ripen my little pretties

sugar leaves are + %50 milky - found an amber, last night (the voyeur in me likes to look )

as long as I do nothing to slow their roll - another 2-3 week and maybe, they could be hanging

[Juicyj89]

Excellent work friend. Those babies look perfect.👌

[oldjarhead100]

very nice LTG I have trics that just wont turn as well someday soon I hope

[Mr.furley]

Getting Phat.

[Doubledealing72]

Hey everyone! Happy Sunday!
Today is day 104 for the Bubba Kush. She is coming along very nicely, I'm just waiting on the trichomes to turn Amber. I have only spotted maybe 2 on the entire plant.

I'm thinking harvest will be next week, and I'll be sure to post as soon as I begin the process! Everyone's plants look awesome, keep growing friends!

[oldjarhead100]

Love those trics wow

[Doubledealing72]

Thanks OJH!

[Mjdub]

I have 2 vipar v450's 400 true watts from the wall what alerted me to my problem was they started sagging about 12 to 15 hours into their 20 hours of light they are now only 31 days old from germination I will be starting week 6 soon and from most auto timelines shouldn't I go to 15 to 24 inches after week 6? My instruction booklet says 18-24 in flower

[LurkingInTheGrass]

keep an eye on the plants - if they don't like that much light, raise your lights, they will 'harden' and be able to take the higher intensity light

manufactures specs are guides - the plants are the boss

[oldjarhead100]

well I made a decision yesterday since I screwed up my light and now am at the end of week one instead of 5 that it wont finish in time for me to run the next one before the heat and humidity hit I was planning on shutting down the end of June so after this run I will do a run of autos start to finish in the bloom room so 8 Dark Devils in coco , The only issue with this is I have 10 Limpin Louies and 6 Gorilla Cookies in veg for 5 weeks already and its going to be interesting keeping them healthy and alive to go outside while getting the outside stuff ready to go as well so Space at my house just went up in need lol

[starramus]

oldjarhead100 How did you screw up your light?

[oldjarhead100]

I use a manual timer and its behind the plants and somehow I hit one of the tabs to turn the lights on in the middle of the night so they didn't go into bloom ,not really a big deal excepts for timing ,it really screw timing lol
I couldn't see the tab from the front of the plants with out my glasses and I dont wear them down cellar lol

[starramus]

Doubledealing72 I'd love to get lost in your valley of the trichomes!

[Doubledealing72]

Thanks starramus! I plan to get lost in them myself 😂

[Doubledealing72]

I'm thinking next week she will be ready spidermite, and I can't wait!

[oldjarhead100]

very pretty getting lost in them is a real treat

[Canuck147]

Just about time for topping...………... Wrong date and time on my pics

[Canuck147]

Actually - I think I'll leave the 2 purple stilton and not top them. They're only supposed to top out at 50 - 80 centimeters. I can handle that.

[Rwise]

White Moscow chop chop,, yesterday, and those tiny things on the bottom left (center and last pic) just filled a bowl twice. This early and already smoother than whats in the shops (at least what I have seen). This will be very nice in a few weeks,,, oh ya, thats a seed pod in the bowl.
So what would all y'all call a cross between Headbanger and White Moscow? Maybe a Moscowbanger,,,

[KTM690]

That's cool rwise I cured my moscow and wow is all I can say. I hope Paul isn't done cause id love more moscow seeds might b the best weed I've smoked or grown

[Retodd]

Rwise just PM me when ready.

[Rwise]

KTM690 I will have to say sampling the tiny nugs says the moscow is the best, followed by the widow. And yes I would do this again!

White Widow 55 grams,
Retodd Ill get the PM out, I will have to use a different browser,,,, I have FF all tied up,,,

[oldjarhead100]

during my last auto run I found 2 seeds in a dark devil and while I was starting seeds I tossed them on the paper towel and here they are ,I'm curious if they will be autos , the next 2 are of what I'm waiting on, and yes those spots you see a aphids I sprayed them a couple of weeks ago and yesterday i dumped 500 lady bugs on them ,I've been dealing with them since the first bag of happy frog ,during my shutdown this summer I will give all my grow spaces a good cleaning , the last picture is of a Diesel that hasn't gone into bloom yet at day 100 yikes I wonder if its an auto
