The great 1 gallon pot Autoflower grow competition of late 2020

[JohnEmad]

It would be better to have 3 judges so any experienced forum members who would like to help are more then welcome to join me. Canuck147 and SoOrbudgal what do you think? Your both very experienced growers and together we could make a good decision on the best plants grown.

[JohnEmad]

lol...ya your out.

[SoOrbudgal]

I'm growing in the contest also or i'd love to be a judge.

[JohnEmad]

ok you're out too. lol.

[JDU]

Got 5 ready to follow along & try different things on while I learn.

[SoOrbudgal]

I just had 3 tails show up so i put all 3 in the folgers with little cup helmets for keeping moist & little humid. It's hitting near 90f. today

[NickyChicks]

Day 14 and she's doing pretty good. I got a few nice roots in the reservoir now so I think she will really start to pick up the pace.

[swegrow]

Do you mind being the head judge @JohanEmad? Maybe someone else thats not growing in the challenge are up for it too.

Mi lil plant is spreading out, topped her yesterday. I know its a bit of a chance, specially since I dont know the strain

[Canuck147]

Mine is beginning her vertical growth

[420chicano]

Dear Mr.Canuck
Did you add extra perlite to your Auto flower Soil? When people show pictures of their Plants 🌱 I always look at the Soil to see if the plant is Happy...yes she looks happy ..

[Canuck147]

Nope - straight out of the bag.

[SoOrbudgal]

Mine are taking a dirt nap still no green helmet heads yet. Will post when the event happens and a pic to boot.

[JohnEmad]

swegrow as total weight is the deciding factor for this grow battle a judge probably won't be needed. Unless the weights are close and other factors are included in the decision.

[swegrow]

No thats a good point.

[SoOrbudgal]

Here she is la berry fruta auto and her sistas are behind her. 2days old. Her soil mix is 50% soil that i mix and reuse adding 50% coco coir. I added extra perilite to the mix for drainage. It's about the same mix i used last grow i did in these folgers and to me i think my harvest was good LOL. It's just a fun past time this contest hope all have fun and get funky with decorating for fall LOL.

[swegrow]

Absolutely, everybody wins cause we got smoke in the end! =)

[JDU]

La Berry Fruita sounds delicious!!

Speaking of Fall decorations.... have you procured our previously discussed disco ball Gingerbeard ? I found a place that sells dry ice! Halloween is just around the corner!!

[swegrow]

Jane doe is stretching out and gerttin some tie-downs, very alert little plant and loves the attention

[dphipps1020]

She's growing fast! Mine is small compared to that but she's starting to grow faster. Who knows, maybe she's just going to be short and bushy.

[SoOrbudgal]

OK swegrow are you feeding that thing steroids?? LOL

[swegrow]

dphipps1020 Maybe she turns into one of those 1 foot tall autos with a cola the size of 3 beer cans stacked on top of each other? I hope so! =)

SoOrbudgal Only organic nutes and some microbes, she was a lucky shoot though, or well we'll see in the end

[dphipps1020]

Everyone else is posting updates so I figured I would too. I decided to try a different approach and just tie this one down instead of topping. She's on day 17 today. Says 80 day flowering time for this Cheese XXL. Does that mean 80 days from the start of flower then? Or from sprout?

[SoOrbudgal]

I'm thinking from sprout dphipps1020 If i happen to catch the tiny puff of white showing from the top cola i will then mark that on my calendar. Don't know if it's right but it gives me a baseline LOL

[dphipps1020]

That's kind of what I was thinking too.

[CaptainWiese91]

Looking good everybody!
I’m so sad I can’t start before October 😒.
I will be so far behind 😅

[AccidentalGardener]

Nope. Some of us are out of weed. You are ahead of us, lol

[Gingerbeard]

Here's the thing about the disco ball JDU
You know how cats and dogs like to chase the dot a laser pointer makes? Imagine a thousand of those going all at once. I turned the spotlights on the ball and the room was flooded with the reflections from the mirrors. Dabber... well... Dabber went a little nuts. Started bleating like a lamb. The left half of her tail fell off. She moved the patch to the other eye. She finally wound up in the bathroom, in the tub, with the door closed. She doesn't like being in the bathroom because that's where she get's showered. Poor thing. I didn't plan ahead.

[JDU]

Poor girl. Ok scratch the disco ball lol.

[NickyChicks]

Day 20, gave her a good ol topping. Lots of new and nice looking roots hanging in the res now. Once she grows a little more I'll start tying her down.

[420chicano]

Hey Nicky
Who is that little Nug photo bombing the picture lower right Corner!! Nice 👍

[NickyChicks]

420chicano thats my Blow Dream saying hi lol. My gallon plant is sharing the tent with 4 other girls who are all not too far from harvest. Click on the link in my signature called Second.Grow if you wanna check them out

[420chicano]

I do and I will

[Canuck147]

Here she is a week later - took off 2 seven fingers leaves on the top - she's just beginning to grow - should be about time for blastoff.

[SoOrbudgal]

My sweet little La Berry Fruitas are a mear 7 days and just 2 little leafs. I do believe they are in " root " to explode and grow into monster autos so you'all better be afraid heee hee

[swegrow]

Good looking lady!
