Scarlet Grapes Auto

[Going2fast]

Figured I would make a page for this one. This is one of my crosses I did while doing a review for a reversing spray earlier this year. The strain I reversed was scarlet sunset from now defunct Gas Reaper genetics. The momma was Double Grape from Mephisto genetics. Loved the cherry cough drop smell and taste of scarlet and the Uber frostiness of double grape. Scarlet wasn't no slouch on the frost factor either. Anyhow we are at day 44 for her. She is finishing stretch and beginning to frost up. Like all the way to the end of the sugar leaves frost. Showing her sativa side but the buds are nicely spaced. She is in a 5 gallon bucket with bottom third compost out of my bin and top two thirds miracle grow organics with 2/3 cup of dolomite lime added. Got some tip burn when she reached the compost. I do pH my water because it's well water and usually runs 5.25-6 so I bring it up to 6.5 with GH ph up.

Oh let me add she wasn't topped just lst.

Most definitely showing the sativa there. I've found that LST gives me a better yield and no shock to my plants. Good looking grow.

Excited to see what she makes of herself.
I also do the same. Mostly heavy LST by means of bending over at a 90° angle, then spreading her out.
crucialbunny, I agree.

Ditto I love LST for autos and photos. Autos don't seem to mind it in fact they seem to enjoy the twisting an bending. silly girls!

Black Cream Auto on harvest day. 1 topping and LST = 12+ oz’s

Scarlet Runtz is two weeks old today 👍🏼

BU2B- when did you decide to top....3rd or 4th node or before? What week from emergence? I just germinated a dozen auto seeds for a fast grow and want to try more than LST. Have done quite a few regular and feminized grows but only one auto grow and just used LST. I can give these girls a few extra weeks if needed. Also am considering a FIM but usually prefer the symmetry of topping. The strains are suppose to be hardy with 80 days from seed to harvest. Suggestions appreciated, cheers and have a frosty Christmas!

ZigZag - 2 small exceptions for BU2B’s PPP Method when it comes to autos: 1. Grow out as quads still topping between nodes 3-4 2. No topping of main branches. Only one topping for autos - ASAP

This should give you a yield of 10-14 oz for most autos as opposed to 2-5 for a regular GOOD auto grow ✌️

BU2B- thanks, that gives me enough confidence to top. I’ll have 3 of 2 strains each- maybe I’ll top one, FIM one and LST all three. Repeat with second strain. Then I’ll have comparisons.....but dang, the auto you topped is awesome so I’m gonna try that with at least one of each. Thanks for the thoughts!

Here's my scarlet runtz at 18 days BU2B.

Leave it to BU2B to show off that massive auto.
Just lovely!

Happy frosty Friday. Day 51 for the lady. Frosting up like her mother. Interesting she has a heavy pine smell if you caress her but left alone fruity skunk. A saucy little vixen she is. Another cross from the same batch scarlet runtz at 23 days throwing out the indica vibe.

Beautiful forest of colas pic for the SG!

Mid-week close ups. Scarlet and her neighbors Bessie and the forge...........and a sunset.

[crucialbunny]

Fine looking buds and Bessie is a fine looking beast. Lab?

[Going2fast]

Lol my labs name is Bryce. Bessie (cake) is the fat green nugget. If she tastes as good as she smells I'm reversing my last bean. Her and the forge ( the purple one) were freebies.

[Blowdout2269]

Lookin fruity frosty in there!
