4th Grow, more Autos!

[NickyChicks]

Starting another grow journal here, feel free to follow me, still lots of learning to be done. A lot has changed since my last grow. I got married, made a career change, and my state finally legalized cannabis! I'm very excited to get this new grow started. Already had a small accident, didn't realize I dropped my bag with my Lemon Auto seeds in it and I stepped on the bag, smashed 2 outta 3 seeds. Big sad. Fortunately they were freebies from seedsman but still, big sad.

The Seedsman Lemon Auto survivor from the great seed squish of 2022 will be going into my 1gal DWC container. I dropped out of the gallon challenge last year but I would like to give it a shot and see what I can yield.

The other seeds I've chosen to grow this time around are...
Wedding Cheesecake Auto - Fast Buds
Original Auto Chemdawg - Fast Buds
Auto Brooklyn Sunrise - Dutch Passion
Auto Cheese Berry - 00 Seeds

Going to get these put in the germination station tomorrow!

Hello and welcome back NickyChicks bummer about those lemon autos hey good luck with that gallon experiment. Sounds like a great combo of autos

[NickyChicks]

Original Chemdawg is first to find her permanent home. Impatiently waiting for the rest of the gang to join. The rest of them have begun to crack open but not taproots, except Lemon. She is taking her time to open.

[NickyChicks]

So my Lemon seed decided not to do anything and the Brooklyn Sunrise seed opened and popped out a small taproot and that was it. It stopped growing and fell off lmao. Put another Brooklyn Sunrise seed in and a Gelat.OG from Seedsman in and popped those girls. Everyone is in their permanent home, I ended up putting Brooklyn in the 1gal container. Can't wait to see how she does!

Kicking back and lurking this year :-)

[NickyChicks]

Always fun to be a lurker!

[RagWeedDWC]

Watching your gal grow and this one. Thinking about moving from the tubs I use to the buckets, I might be able to start at least one more plant. And as a lurker, i'm pretty poor at it :-)

[NickyChicks]

Almost a month in and we're making progress. I had some seed troubles to start so no plant in the back left of the tent, for now. I ended up putting a White Widow Auto from Seedsman in the 1 gal container and that girl is doing great. The Original Chemdawg is also doing very well. Got all of them topped and tied down. I almost killed the Wedding Cheesecake twice now, had some root issues early on. Then just this week I left to go snowboarding for 3 days, I changed the water on the plants on Sunday but I forgot to hook the airline back up to the Wedding Cheesecake, needless to say she wasn't happy about not getting her air. Hoping she springs back up and turns into something nice.

[NickyChicks]

Feeling good about how all the girls are doing now. I'm loving the white widow in the 1gal, she twisted herself into a little bonsai. The wedding cheesecake is rebounding nicely after looking so rough. Chemdawg is going to be the largest in the tent if I had to guess, she's a strong one for sure. The cheese berry is doing it's thing, middle of the pack just cruising.

[SoOrbudgal]

Super structure you did with these plants, looking great

[NickyChicks]

SoOrbudgal thank you, they grow so fast at this stage so keeping up with tying them down is important to get that structure. I only snapped one branch so far but scotch tape to the rescue!

[SoOrbudgal]

LOL longing to start a grow indoors unable to because i sold my house and i'm packed up, kinda hard showing a house with grow tents LOL. I feel the pain of snapping a branch that " oh shit " moment but your right they do heal or if they don't say la V ( or how ever it's said ) it's my go to expression these days.

[RagWeedDWC]

Going to kick it back up in the fall, but really studying how yall are training. I half assed it a couple of grows, these look awesome!

[NickyChicks]

SoOrbudgal ugh moving is such a pain in the ass! I can totally see how the tents might hinder a potential sale though lol.

RagWeedDWC thanks man, trial by error for me with training. I definitely learned a lot from my last grow!

[NickyChicks]

Another week down! More tying and defol. Really I'm getting a kick out of watching the White Widow in the 1gal container grow. My little bonsai, she's growing strong and fast trying to keep up with her older sisters! Not much else to report other than they're growing like crazy and I expect the transition to bloom to be coming shortly

[Going2fast]

Love it. Keep up the experiment.

[NickyChicks]

Going2fast thanks! So far so good!

[NickyChicks]

We've got some flowering action going on! Chemdawg and Cheese berry are a little but ahead but on by a week or so. Everyone is looking pretty good, they didn't stretch a whole lot but still a good amount of budsites

[NickyChicks]

SoOrbudgal Thanks, I feel like I'm getting the hang of it! I think this year I'm going to try my hand at growing in soil, 2 or 3 plants in containers outside.

BU2B thanks, the hooks were super helpful on my last grow, this year I added the piece of brake line through the hooks on all of the buckets to allow even more places to tie down to. That was something I tried on one last year and it was a great help

[Smallgrow]

Great photo of cherry berry what a nice shape, pretty perfect really .

[NickyChicks]

Smallgrow thanks for the kind words! I really enjoy training the plants

[JeffInCanada]

Plants looking good as usual NickyChicks You got skill Love watching your grows, I'll be following along.

[NickyChicks]

Thank you much appreciated, always learning!

[NickyChicks]

The tent is smelling pretty good these days, doesn't look too bad either IMO. Chemdawg is chunkiest so far, White Widow smells the sweetest reminds me of the Daquiri Lime I grew last grow, Cheese berry is funky and very thick, lots of budsites. Hoping I did a good enough job lollipopping to get some full buds and not a lot of popcorn. I did thin out a bunch of long stemmed leaves to let some light in between. I started turning on the UVB lights for a 2 hours a day. These plants do grow so fast harvest is going to be here before I know it!

[RagWeedDWC]

Going to have to brush off the grow room, this has been great!

[NickyChicks]

RagWeedDWC thanks! And yes you do need to get some plants going, I wanna see some tumbleweed sized roots from your plants again!

[NickyChicks]

Water change yesterday, I tried to tie down some of the outer tops down to open up the center of the plants also did a little bit of cleaning up and thinning out some of those stemmy leaves. Im very happy with the progress though, they're all starting to get a little chunky !
