Chefbjy Dark Harvest Grow Challenge

[Canuck147]

And therein lies one of the problems of new genetic autoflowers - however you might want to do more training - they are just going to start flowering after a prescribed time period no matter what.

Campesino the other 2 have pistils but I topped them late and may have slowed them down a bit if they are autos. So far there's only the one that I noticed but the other 2 have growth tips that look like the starting of a flower.

 

[Chefbjy]

More gc pics or whatever these are, all 3 present. 2 of which definitely look like flowering has begun 1 not so much but believe it's trying to. Looks like I'm running into a metal deficiency iron, copper or zinc I presume with new growth coming in kind of yellow.

I'm hoping I will wake up and all those leaves will unfold and they will burst with growth but I still think they're in flower mode. I'm thinking of taking them out before dark period begins so they only get 4 hours dark by moving them into a dark room. If they are autos I don't have to worry about light leaks. The challenge is going to be getting them more light when I haven't got the room and not messing with my photos light sched. Not to mentio n I can't keep moving them here and there it gets to be a pia and I'm not always here to do so.

I'm still lost and when I see buds for sure seedsman will get a nice pic of them and the nice mistake that screwed up this whole event for me. 😠 I'm really upset so I may be ranting sorry. I've still yet to blow my top about it and have lost interest in them. Just want to focus on the dgth for now and kick the gc outdoors with a poor light for night time hours in my bathroom or something. I'm lacking patience to tend to the gc as a whole just because there's nothing I can do now but let them bud. #madafaboutthis #plantneglect #fml.

Don't lose interest. Still a chance for some nice smoke. And even better a chance to learn a little more. Every single plant teaches us something. And I know you cant cull them so may as well do your best.

 

[Chefbjy]

Yeah wife won't let me cull them said the same about getting a little smoke out of them. Just going to have to roll with the punches.

Ya I would grow them out to

Brewer up and running, worm casting tea today. Lst and fim final dgth pulling out of dwarfism with sativa like growth compared to get sisters that stayed fat and squatty. I believe I'll have plenty of height so the hps is going in before lights on today. Maybe I can get some better verticle growth with the not gc photos and my Skywalker auto that's my expirement.

Guess the not photos will just suffer for awhile till I decide to move them out of the tent. I have no idea what I'm going to do with them still but I want the tent to be filled up with photos not autos. My plan with the Skywalker was just to finish outside and with some cfls and my veg light, but since I have more autos then what I had planned, I'll see if I can set a tent up in the shop on the other side of the bloom wall. Hoping it works out so I don't have light contamination and I can finish the not photos with the Skywalker. I think they're a faster auto then my Skywalker since my Skywalker is around 5 days older doesn't have a main cola like the not photos and is still growing growth tips and branches. Though it's really small and think I stunted it at transplant it should make some big fat buds. Wish me luck with my endeavors 😉!

Dgth pics with the misfits and a slight problem with the wtf gc. Maybe overwatered maybe ph not sure yet but she looks haggard. Wierd leaf splotches and looks like they're crumpled a bit. Stupid plant 😆. I'm not happy with them so she could die for all I care. I'll nurse it back to health though since I decided to continue watering it. Lol I was going to let it dry up and shrivle but the wife said I better not 😉. I'll see what I can do though this makes for a lot more work to set up another grow area and more wasted energy. I'm not worried about the work as much as I am about the energy bill 😢. Welp gotta see what I can do in the shop ✌.

 

[Redwasp]

Looks good

 

[Chefbjy]

Thank you 😉.

 

[oldjarhead100]

I dread my electric bill lol Plants are looking healthy

 

[Chefbjy]

Thank you ojh. Going to have to hook up the helios8 out in my shop 😉.

 

[Californiakid]

It takes money to save money 😂😂😂
I want titan timer and temp controllers too. Along with more canfans and a couple more square feet 🤔.

I figure if I spend about $1,200 i can save $250/month. Maybe next summer.

 

[Chefbjy]

There's some things that I can get for trade or I could give the guy a little money to take the stuff of his hands. I don't mind rolling with used equipment as long as it works correctly. I just don't have to payfull retail price so I got kinda lucky 😉.

 

[Californiakid]

The look I get when I'm trying to explain if I make my room bigger it will be cheaper to cool it. 😂😂😂😂

 

[Chefbjy]

Trying to root the lowest growth of dgth and promote more top growth to the fim one and still doing lst.

 

[Californiakid]

I often see people trim the fingers when they clone, do you?

 

[Chefbjy]

I haven't tried that but have heard of people doing it. I may give it a shot. Kinda makes sense 😉.

 

[Chefbjy]

Did some clipping and training. Dgth left; bottom branches(node) topped at 3rd node. Dgth right; bottom branches(node) fimed. Dgth center; tied down(lst).

Not gc photoperiods are coming along, though 2 are looking like they've been through war. The leaves are wrinkled up like a Shar Pei and off coloring throughout the leaves. They're getting moved Wednesday. Only one of these girls looks promising. If I knew they were autos things would have went down a lot differently 😥.

12 days till flip and they're no where near ready imo. But maybe we'll see some good growth between now and then. If the date wasn't set I'd probably let them go in veg till the end of the month and flip in beginning of October. My soil mix may have been a little much for the first couple weeks, I think they're not as big or full as most photos I've grown. And that's the only thing I can think of. Maybe warm lights off temps are hindering growth. But the dgth have made things a little better and it will be the only strain I'll be able to compare the extended dark period with 😠 😥 😢. This challenge has become a fiasco for me... I vote do over lmao. I'm forced to take a different path and am really bummed I can't grow gc beside everyone else... It's the strain that really caught my eye to join. Oh well 💩 happens I guess. Here's the misfits, the dgth will stay in this tent while autos finish in another. 🍻 ✌ 💘

 

[Californiakid]

I would opt to veg a lil longer also . But it will be interesting to see how it does with a short veg.

Looks good! Been going to everyone's page today an cheek everyone's progress out.. seems everyone's around the same.. a few stragler plants ( like my dgth) but hopefully everything catches up nice an soon
