The Scarlet family album

[Going2fast]

She looks about ripe. How's she smell?

[Ckbrew]

The smell is awesome. I'm listening for them to tell me it is time. Getting close.

[Rwise]

Here's the Scarlet's this morn, galaxy, grapes and sunset, amber trics. Lovely colors!

[Going2fast]

Crazy all the three finger leaves on those. You did better than I ever did when starting autos outdoors. Think I will veg them indoors next year.

[Rwise]

I chopped them yesterday, today and another 100*+ day then it turns rainy for at least a week. Yes lots of 3 finger leaves, I also topped the grapes probably should not have.

[SoOrbudgal]

Well we all learned this summer about what not to do with autos, seems like we all stunted our plants in one way or another.

[Rwise]

I knew going in they would do better inside under controlled conditions, still, like my neighbor said "they are stunning" all those colors. The real harvest is yet to come.

Day 79 scarlet autos

They are close, very close to chop.


Getting them ready, removed fan leaves and leaves with out sugar on them.

[Going2fast]

Looks like it's going to be a bountiful harvest. Congratulations bro they look beautiful.

[Franklin]

Just started two scarlet galaxy outdoors a week or two ago. GWE says max file size reached, so I can't seem to post a photo unless someone knows a workaround (used to just shrink my files for me?)

[Ckbrew]

When you open a pix file on the computer look for a tool that says resize. Then reduce the image, save as, then post the reduced image.

Day 83
Sunset got harvested today






Galaxy needs more time

[Going2fast]

The Bessie cake crosses were a success. Scarlet grapes x Bessie cake sounds interesting.

[Bluey]

Ooh.
Nice work.
How long did it take you to remove all that seed?

[Ckbrew]

What a stash. The future is here.

[Going2fast]

Not long. Let them dry like usual 7 to 10 days in cardboard boxes. Took buds off of stems. Put in fridge for a day or two with the lid off the container. Disintegrate the buds between your fingers over a cafeteria tray tilted at a 10 degree angle. Then swish the crushed bud around with a credit card or such. You know. Old school. Actually took about 20 minutes a plant.

[Bluey]

Good stuff

[Ckbrew]

Flashbacks to the 70s, cleaning seeds out of the buds.

[Bowhunterwoody]

Double albums were the best. Catch the seeds and stalks in the crease.

[Gingerbeard]

Seed porn? Who thought there would be such a thing?
Don't put up all the Cake pictures, Johnny Bromanseed. Save some for the Cake album.

Day 86

Galaxy buds ripening up.

[Gingerbeard]

Week 8. Colors!
Got the proper stank. Finally stopped growing.
Learned a couple things this week. pH after nutes. Never had an issue doing the pH first. Now, the nutes seem to take care of the pH which is between 6.2 and 6.8.
I realized I've been giving my plants a little less than half the recommended nutes for flowering. I kept the dose from the nutes I first ever used. That was wrong.

[Bluey]

I've been having the same problems Gingerbeard with my nute ratios...mostly too little.

Also experimenting with what cal/mag supps to use with my base nutes and have run into pH instability problems in my feed tank with the wrong ones.

Also growing different strains feeding from the one source screwed me in flower badly, everything became a compromise and no way I could dial it in across the strains.

I'm changing my approach next grow and will keep a log recording EC, pH, supps and any climate anomalies. Also back to the one strain in flower will make it more readily manageable.

This is all new to me as I have always been an outdoor soil grower and moving to indoor coco hydro growing, well it's a whole new ball game and I've had to learn stuff I hadn't even heard of before and had no need to know, but I'm convinced this type of growing is definitely the best way forwards for me.

The galaxys have finished
