That's a real good point Canuck147 sometimes they just pout look unhappy. She'll perk up i'm sure. The rest look really good.

Trying another auto outdoors. GSC day 1

**SoOrbudgal** · 05-27-2021, 06:55 AM

I feed outdoor as the soil i make gets used of it's goodies i mixed in when i make it. As i see less maybe green in the leaf i'll start giving them top dressings of worm casings an poo/fish tea onces a week. I make a 5gal bucket once a weeks of it use it up within that week. But not real heavy feedings mostly the sun an well water do there thing. Working with clones not seeds gotta shape them up more as they get big. I do have 2 plants from seed also going outdoors. I only place the autos up there on the roof, not even sure about that today if i will i'm rather burn-out temporarely need a vacation without thinking. I got 6 photo containers in my garden cart 10gal. waiting for planting. I'm just holding out till after June 5th to condition them an transplant.

A little update on the three amigos.

The 00 Kush that did not auto will finally be going in the new tent 12/12 so it will flower. I'm real worried it will get root bound in that 3.5 gallon (13 L) pail.

NL1 the bendy, curvy chick is throwing some branches with budlets up. We'll see if they fill in and rate the cola label or not.

NL2 The Runt. Packing on some flower weight and maintaining stealth cover as a bonsai.

Sorry I haven't posted in a while - life has kept me busy.

Pics are from a couple days ago - Bruce has finally decided to produce buds - that's all Cookies is doing now is packing on the buds. Lucy is a contender.

As for the training part of this exercise - 1 out of 3 is okay. Cookies is the only one that kept the shape I wanted. The other 2 - meh - not so good. They reverted back to growing close together - and we didn't spend much time together to do any re-training.

My outdoor plants are in the shade most of today upper 90s f real breezy. So because i know grow in smaller 10-15gal i'm more mobile. These are not really good conditions for young plants or older. Really dehydrates leaf. Tis the reason to not neglect outdoor, this will be another challenging summer. Grateful for my indoor supply from winter grows. I'm abit worried about the weather. Oh here's some big news on our road.........right across our road in the ranch they leased land for a " hemp grow" I kept hearing lots of work but could not see what was going on. Now i see the tops of huge greenhouses looks like lite depo 3 100ft houses. All hemp. 500yds up a hill from our place......LOL wish me luck.

I'm gonna make an obvious observation.

My kush, even though it had to go to 12/12 still kept 4 budsites fairly flat. I'm thinking with autos perhaps the indica dominant strains are best suited for topping,

I'm also thinking that the sativa dominant ones would be a bit more controlled laid down.

I'm going to try again with a lemon, kush and northern lights. I haven't really decided what to do except I'm going to lay that lemon haze down. I think its structure will do well with that. I'm just gonna keep it pinned down for the duration this round.

I'm only looking from a distance Puglover1 i've not rode up near it but they look to be in long tall hoop rows so just thought perhaps a light depo. system or maybe they are protecting?? Not spoken yet to the rancher who leased out the land.

**Dannyboy58** · 06-06-2021, 10:22 AM

This is my 7 weeks from seed Northern Lights. I think it got stunted a bit because of the move from one hydro container to another and a little root disturbance but they're all healthy how and starting to flower and show some trichromes. i've defol'd and trained this one the hardest and it seems to not mind at all. Was about 13" tall before I started tying it down. I tied town the top two branches last night to make it all lie more flat and the colas(?) are all turned straight up to the light now.

This is my first grow and I'm obviously still learning. The setup needs improving too. Any advice or correction of terms appreciated.

Here are the 2 NL autos that were started March 20. First the laid down girl. Then the fata** runt!

**Puglover1** · 06-08-2021, 03:25 AM

NL runt and Lemon born 4/12 (8 weeks old); Chewy (NL twins) born 4/23 (6+ weeks old), separated beginning of May, on 5/8 the cat 'trained' Chewy. The full spectrum panel is on 100%, Chewy is under the KingLED1200 on veg. They're on 18/6, getting cal-mag and GH Trio 1/4th strength nutes, I only used Recharge and cal-mag Saturday night, pH 6.3.

Should I start the bloom nutes (I've only added Flower Fuel on the oldest two plants). Should I turn on both veg & bloom lights on the KingLED yet? They all need watering sooner now. Waiting on a new ceiling fan, playing with closet doors and the tower fan as the weather flips back 'n forth here. Low humidity is my worst issue, 40-45%; temps are OK, four clip fans are running.

The cat topped Chewy at age 2 weeks, two leaves are wired down, should I train the higher of the two top stems, both, or do nothing? Lemon has 4 wires pulling the budlets out for light and is growing taller; NL is a little bit taller but it's so dang tight, I pulled one budlet outward with a twisty. Do Lemon & NL look like they need nitrogen? I'd like to think that starting Chewy in the pot made a difference but Lemon is coming around. If Cat had chewed Lemon I could do a NL comparison but that's not possible now. When do autos start to stretch? TIA.

Lucy here - trichomes are cloudy - she's working hard to finish in her allotted time. They are all trying to finish in a hurry.

Wife's disability keeps me busier than usual - plus I'm having eye surgery next week - so.........I'll be around.

**HobbitGDF** · 06-09-2021, 10:22 AM

man my gorilla girl XL autos are about done. its like day 61 i think. breeders say 63-70. thats not far off.
the buds are so heavy on one they are laying sideways.

and the sour diesel auto

they are finishing up nicely and fast. im impressed with the GGXL. i have the fem version on the way. Gorilla Girl Fem.
the trichomes on the ones i checked are like 90% cloudy, 8% clear, 2% amber.

so maybe a week at least for the fastest 2. the rest i say 2 weeks. the sour diesel auto (seedsman freebie thats no more) looks like maybe even 3wks more.

i love seeing everyones autos. great job everybody.
props to all you who do hydroponic. seems like it would be even harder.
