Dark Harvest GROW CHALLENGE!

[Trichomefarmer88]

Real cool! I've been looking into a dripper my self.. i found an auto one on ebay for like 50 bucks I've been looking at.. i wanted to set them up on my dwc buckets for when they're seedlings an clones..

oh boy! figured out how to get vids in here!

hey folks! busy week so not a lot of timefor updating...

Things are looking really good today. The overnight growth on both GC's and the AI was pleasantly surprising. DGTH seems to be spurting as well just not as much. All older leaves have now been removed - hoping the new growth on the DGTH isnt the rippled/bumpy growth it had before.

Goal for the day - GC2, AI, and DGTH2 are getting crowded in one res. I need to break down the 4x4 from my last harvest, rinse and refill, and get those guys into their own buckets..

Got this today.....

gave a friend a little under 2 lbs of mixed trim and larf, he returned it without the plant matter Haha. 64 grams of CO2 shatter. Should hold me over for a while 😁

Also, I have one auto blue northern lights I want to run when we flip the DHGC girls over. I figured I should pop it soon, I have zero experience with autos. Any advice?

 

[Californiakid]

RosettaStoned Do any training early on. It goes by quick. 😉

 

[RosettaStoned]

Yeah I'd have to check again but I think it's like 55-65 days

 

[Californiakid]

I also dont top, I bend the plant over to break apical dominance. Works great for me, usually get 6-8 big colas and some good sized "support buds".

Not saying you cant top, just seems to slow down too much for my liking when I do it.

 

[RosettaStoned]

The soil should be a little weaker to start right?

 

[Californiakid]

I start em in roots organic original.

RosettaStoned - autos are easy. Plant your seed into the final pot you are using. I find 2 or 3 gallon work best indoors.

And I would advise to top - all new genetic autoflowers seem to want to shoot up their pistils at or before 30 days. Topping will get you at least 4 main colas and should keep the plant just a little shorter than not topping.

I topped 4 a couple weeks ago - 3 plants didn't slow down at all - the fourth pouted for 3 days.

I will have to stop and say I would go 7 gallon air or fabric pots on autos unless they have lowrider genetics. My current autos were mistreated badly and they are going to outgrow 3 gallon pots. And I wouldnt exactly say they are easy. Photos are far more forgiving.

Not trying to start an argument I promise. I'm no expert on anything but I've had some get root bound in 7 gallon fabric pots

Thanks for info wonderful gwe community

I agree with Redwasp. Only because I was watering every other day in #5s and that was totally environment. But they have a little more room to spread. And I would top or fim a vigorous auto as soon as I saw the node I wanted to top/fim at 3 or 4. If you have to baby them lst would be better then topping or fimming like Californiakid said just start bending or tying when it gets a few nodes. They love a kiss method and I will go completely organic with all my autos.

Growth explosion!!! I'm ready to flip my dgth next week. Trying to resolve a gnat issue and might end up using some neem oil. Going to get some sticky traps and try to go without but they're beginning to invade my tent. Not sure how the little buggers are getting in. The dgth would benefit from a little longer veg imo, but we're on track here. ✌ 💘 🍻

I love the dog/wolf in the avatar btw, beautiful animal. Looks freakin giant

 

[starramus]

I had a tenant who brought in a hybrid wolf. The damn thing chewed a horrific hole in a sheet rock wall. I spent more than a few hours repairing it after i evicted the ass hole. The lease stated no pets at all, and I find a hybrid wolf in there. Outfuckinrageous!

 

[Californiakid]

Rearranged some .

 

[RosettaStoned]

🤣🤣 yeah went above and beyond there

 

[Californiakid]

I'm not leaving anything out. I've just been giving charcoal filtered tap water as needed. This weekend I would like to do some pest prevention before the flip.

Neem and sm90 with a dash of dr bronners.
And start some tea, its been awhile.

Looking very nice Chef. I am excited to get back to photos. My wife gave me the eye "You know the one" when I said I might open all 5 tents again. But she will be fine when she gets to cooking with all the trim again. She loves that.
