Californiakid's 1st auto journal

[Californiakid]

Not thrips. These have a clear body with a visible digestive tract and a black head.

Kinda blurry but looks like thrips larva to me. Leafminers are microscopic, I thought. And they do their work inside the leaf. Are you seeing the telltale damage they leave behind?

 

[Californiakid]

Dude these are tiny ! I almost dismissed 'em. But I got out my "60x scope" and thought I took a few pictures but turns out only one. Lol
The picture is one of them on a small leaf. It's not much wider than the vein.
They leave "doodle art" on the leaves. Kinda like a squiggly line.
Crap ! !
Now that I think about it...I have morning glory growing in my yard. I had been putting my plants outside near them during the day. The morning glory has F'ing miners on it but it's wild so I haven't been tending to it ! Aargghh. Damn this is so obvious. 🤡

Aloner sometimes all it takes is talking with a friend to help solve a problem. Thanks Man !
Cheers Californiakid

Just as long as you kill the fuckers!

 

[Californiakid]

So I did some looking... Roots organics is produced by Aurora innovations. Great website with all the information that I was looking for. So here it is...

Californiakid It's so great that you figured it out through analysis of the situation! This is how we don't make the same mistake twice!!! It's BRILLIANT!!!

Purple Mazar

Critical Kush

These are sacrificial transition plants. Photos to autos.
I am finishing up a photo in flower on 12/12. You can see it behind the kush. So not to have any downtime these 2 autos are growing under 12/12. I don't expect to produce much. But I cannot just wait for the photo to finish before starting more. Every little bit counts.
Honestly I thought this photo would be done by now.

I have kind soil on the way should be here Wednesday. Roots organics original and fabric pots. Once I chop the plant in flower I will start 4 more autos. The lights will go 24/0. Then new seeds popped to keep the room full as flowers near harvest. At least that is the plan. Lol
Cheers

It's been almost 2 months since the last pictures were posted, my what a difference!

 

[alltatup]

They look freakin fantastic!!! When is harvest?

 

[Californiakid]

alltatup,
These are my first autos. I'm not really sure how much longer. But I'm guessing 3-4 weeks.

 

[alltatup]

Congrats on your first autos!!! Keep an eye on the triches!! ;-}

The purple mazar is supposed to be a three foot tall plant. It's over 5 feet tall. Supposed to be indica dominate but clearly this one is a sativa.

 

[alltatup]

you definitely got the sativa phenotype on that one! ;-}

 

[Californiakid]

Some non led light pictures.
Coming along nicely dispite underwatering with alkaline water. Got a new verified ph pen. Live and learn.

Looking really good, calikid!!!

 

[alltatup]

When's harvest?

 

[Californiakid]

Thanks ATU.
Should be starting to take the first colas in a week or so..
but I'm thinking I'll be taking it in sections. Some buds looks about where I think I want them and some have a bit longer to finish.

If I didn't let my ph get away from me they would likely be hanging already. Slowed some but still smell great.

Trichomes are mostly cloudy with a mix of clear. I'm waiting for a little amber.
