Grow diary

[swegrow]

Outdoors plants are really doing well this year. The canvas pots are working great, so is my experimental home made soil mix. Its such a joy to meet them every night when I get home from work. Do some pruning and have a chat.

[Canuck147]

Can't have too much tender loving care.

[swegrow]

Canuck147 Right about that!

I dig seeing grows like this well done and attentive

Thank you! I do my best but still learning alot along the road. And Im loving every minute of it.

REALLY hot here! Hard work to keep grow room temp down but I manage. Plants seems to love it at 30-32C as long as I keep the humidity down. Got a dehumidifier but unfortunatly it raises the temperature some. Put it on a timer and experimenting with intervalls atm.

Dark devil outdoors are showing some cool coloration!



Cream mandarine autoflowering at about 2 weeks from breaking ground, in the grow room.



Jack47 XL auto moved outside due to the grow room being super crowded and hot. She seems to dig it. Very thirsty, giving her 1.5-2 liters a day and she is bone dry every afternoon since I moved her outside.



Oh, I forgot. First year growing tobacco. Amazing plant! Got a bunch in pots and some outdoors.

[SoOrbudgal]

That's just great. My uncle (long pasted) in Tennessee used to grow it lots and lots of bugs in there hot humid awful.

[GreenState]

That Jack47 XL is a sweet looking plant! Sativa dominant?

[swegrow]

GreenState Yeah, 80% according to the internet. Jack herer x ak47 crossed with some auto genes! I almost regret moving her outside, tons of budsites and in this nordic climate I doubt she will come to her rights =)

[swegrow]

This lady was cut down and going into the drying room today. Very quick, just over 7 weeks.

[SoOrbudgal]

I had a photo jack herer 2yrs ago summer. She was the best of my plants that year the hugest stickiest mess of process i've had in a long time. Had to put her into the greenhouse to finish in late oct. she was just wonderful nearly a lb. got about 8 quart jars alone off her.

[swegrow]

Thought about one thing... When agein a plant, an autoflower in particular, when do one start to count days? From the germination of the seed - putting it in a shotglas? Taproot shown? Once in the dirt? What do you guys with experience say?

[Canuck147]

I begin to count the day they come out of the soil - then begin another count when the pistils show up - that's usually the count the seed producer gives you - as in 7 - 8 weeks of flower after the pistils show up.

[SoOrbudgal]

I do the same nearly as Canuck147 taproot in soil i count the days first hairs i count the flower days and go a week or so longer.

[swegrow]

Thanks! That was what I thougt,

Unknown auto, love the autumn colors



Jack47 is almost there. I really like this plant for some reason. Did not grow her with any good conditions or much thought but she still came through and got some sticky rock hard buds forming.




New babies in the growroom aswell, autos. Chemdawg, cream mandarine and a bunch of auto ultimate from dutch passion. The dark devil turned out super strong. Real kick in the head from half a joint.

[SoOrbudgal]

I just took down my auto great white shark she went 80days from seed to harvest. I put her and her partner outdoors in fact all my autos are out doors now. I'm getting ready to run 4 photos when they get big enough.

[SoOrbudgal]

These autos are saving me from buying at dispensary but the strength of the smoke is still undetermined. I let them go for longer than breeder says just cause i like more relaxed. I've not smoked this well cured yet just quick dry a bud so i'm not ready yet to leave the great photo grow at all behind i'll never stop growing those.

[swegrow]

SoOrbudgal I want another tent or room for photos for sure. Going for autos in the grow room for now and a mix in the back yard. I love the variation and to have alot of different plants, I also like the fast harvest from the autos and I still got tons to learn about those. Another tent would be sweet though...

Grow diary update!


Harvested 3 out of 4 outdoor autos today and hang to dry. The beautiful dark devil was crawling with aphids (in the buds and sugar leaves) but managed to was them away before hanging her to dry. Trimmed her down completely due to that.

In the grow room Ive got a 6 week old cream mandarine autu, she is short and stout anf bulking up nicely. 2x auto ultimate from my favorite seed company, dutch passion, that is just short of 2 weeks old. Together with a chemdawg autoflower from fastbuds off the same age. All are doing good.



In the incubator I got 7 more auto ultimate that will go into the grow room as soon as they grew a bit bigger and stronger. I tried to plant my seeds straight into the 3 gal pots in the grow room but for some reason 5 out of 7 did not even broke ground. Going with my old way and using the incubator since it works!

Backyard grow is crazy. Got 6 plants in canvas pots and a couple of them are closing in on 7 feet. This keeps me awake at night and Im actually thinking about cutting them all down and throw them away. Why? Because if Im unlucky and someone calls the police on me I will lose my job and my freedom for a while. Its a dilemma and it sucks and makes me very angry. But what to do? I bought a plastic bird net thats used on fruit trees and I will try to. cover up the plants with it to camoflage them. Lets see how that goes. I love them and it would really hurt to cut them down due to bullshit laws, but...

[JohnEmad]

Pint size cream mandarine autoflower. Smells wonderful. Trying out a new product, GHE's Ripen. Bloom booster, heard good thing about it. Now I need to put some more fans on that thick cola to prevent mold, and time for a haircut! =)

[SoOrbudgal]

How big around is that cola? Is it pop can size? I'm aiming for one of those in a auto grow LOL just to know i did it at least once LOL
