The Scarlet family album

It was grass in my grass. Weed in my weed.

Do you have grass growing in your soil? Lawn grass looks like? I hope you thin out some of those whispy branches make it less prone to sweating leaves.

4 weeks. Flipped last night. The buds are as or more developed than I usually have. The plants are a few inches short of being my maximum height for feminized vegetation. If I get the same amount of stretch, the plants will be full size for my tent. I've only removed the soil sitter leaves. The more I grow, the less work I seem to do.

Day 66

The stretch is done, Galaxy wound up taller than sunset. Not much happening except for the flowers starting to fatten up. Waiting, waiting, waiting.

Day 64

Still watching the grass grow. stretch has finished and the buds are starting to bulk up.

I mean available. If I can find an available battery.

[Gingerbeard]

I am on the top floor. Directly above me are solar panels. If I can steal a decent battery, I am going to drill a hole and hook up to them.

Ain't heard that before. More light for better bud? Why have I not heard that? I've heard of 12/12 from seed. Not great production but still a something.
The S. family I've been growing have been short plants compared to the fem'd I've grown but have had as good or better weight with my personal top shelf bud and resin. Plant size-wise, I don't think they could produce any more. Potency, well, that always gets my attention.
Y'all got me considering maybe 8/16. Maybe 10/14. When the temperature starts rising in the coming months, it will definitely be 12/12. My light is a hot light.

35 days is normal for an auto to really start flowering. Decreased light duration will result in more airy and less potent buds. If you compare to a photo the extra month removed is the payoff. People I know who have run autos with their photos say this but they do it for the seventh inning stretch bud as they call it.

[SoOrbudgal]

OK understandable

[Gingerbeard]

You understand correctly.
I'm doing 12/12. A good reason is to save 6 hours of light. That 'lectric shit aint cheap.

[SoOrbudgal]

Am i understanding your going to change the hours on the autoflower ? I just do 18/6 all the way with autos i guess if it's not flowering after 2months yeah maybe then 12/12.

[Gingerbeard]

Here's my flowering question.
My S. Grapes are for definite showing flowers. My usual is to flip at 5 weeks. 5 weeks will be Sunday. They have been giving me at least 1" per day of growth and are slowing down.
Should I go ahead and flip or wait?
No pictures. You know what early flowering looks like.

[Going2fast]

Wow that's the darkest I've seen one yet. Frosty already too.
