HYDRO Grow 3 - Autos Again

[NickyChicks]

YYCannabis I do water changes every Wednesday, haven't had to add any water but when I do it's plain pHed water. The red stems are possibly strain related, the bloody skunk has dark purple and reddish colored buds.

Is there a heater or something blowing on it?

 

[NickyChicks]

YYCannabis no heater just a small fan blowing across all of the plants to circulate air

Did some more defol yesterday on all the plants, they certainly needed it. Added a gallon to the DL. The buds on the BS are turning a real deep purple, pics don't do it justice but I included some.

Day 64! Did a water change yesterday, did some thinning out earlier in the week on Sunday. Probably going to do a little defol tomorrow after work.
Not much to report on other than things are looking pretty good. The bloody skunk is really getting some beautiful color to it! The blueberry is looking good too, starting to build some mass for sure.

Looking good! Nice variety of strains there. Interesting to see them all together, you can really see how different they are.

 

[NickyChicks]

JeffInCanada thanks! It is very cool to see all the differences between the plants, especially now that they're flowering!

Last summer outdoor i had a unknown strain looked like that purple skunk sure is a pretty flower.

 

[NickyChicks]

Did some defoliation tonight. I'm really hoping to eliminate the amount of popcorn buds I get in comparison to my prior grows. I did my best to get rid of most of the lower budsite and low branches.

The daiquiri lime got top off today because she's a drinker. Added a gallon. Also gave her a new look because she is quite bushy, bent most of the top outward hoping to get some light to the core and maybe coax her into flowering faster lol. She's showing pistils but they certainly aren't exploding out yet and the calyxes aren't swelling up yet much but I'll just keep feeding her and wait!

 

[JeffInCanada]

Funny that the daiquiri lime is the drinker, lol. Looking good, it'll be worth your patience I'm sure!

 

[CaptainWiese91]

Those autos really look good!
great job

 

[NickyChicks]

JeffInCanada ha I didn't even think about it like that! I think she's going to be a real winner

 

[NickyChicks]

Thanks Capt! I'm enjoying growing them for sure

Day 78! Quite a bit of change since my last post. I did my usual water change last night, I will do some defol today after work. The bloody skunk is clearly furthest along and is looking damn good. The blueberry is looking real nice, I think it's going to produce some real fat buds. The strawberry Cheesecake, my smallest plant, is is following close behind the blueberry and starting to get frosty. Now the daiquiri lime, she is still taking her damn time but I don't have to look so hard to see pistils anymore. Starting to get some big hairs, hoping she's going to explode soon. Bunch of drinkers though, the DL is getting an gallon added every Sunday but honestly it could probably use more come this Sunday. The rest of the plants haven't needed me to add but this week I may have to.

Such a beautiful plant bloody skunk she's stunner. Slow poke lime ehh? Course i've never down DWC so i guess she's getting the flower food also? She looks like she's trying to dang she maybe a monster and need super crop down the line? Lets hope so

 

[JeffInCanada]

I really like this grow, thanks for posting!! Glad to hear that Miss Daiquiri Lime has now got some drinking buddies She ain't in a hurry for anyone but it looks like she will be the biggest yielder once she gets her sh@t together. Going to be worth the wait. Yes! That bloody skunk is looking damn good. Really red eh. You must have the skills, so many varieties in there and they all look great. Good luck!

 

[NickyChicks]

SoOrbudgal slow poke is right! Maybe slow and steady wins the race!! Yes, you are correct, they are all getting flower food. The DL is definitely going to be a good size plant, supercropping is a strong possiblity for sure.

JeffInCanada thanks it's been my pleasure to post this. Miss DL is definitely going to yield some good weight, I'm really excited to see how she looks when the buds start forming. Thanks for your kind words, I'm certainly still honing my skills in this whole growing thing but I like to think I've put in some good effort! Lots of reading on the GWE site and plenty of lurking on the forum. Still learning everyday!

 

[NickyChicks]

Some defol tonight. Strawberry cheesecake and Daiquiri Lime got it the most, Blueberry and Bloody Skunk I pretty much got most of the long fan leaves so I think I'll be able to let them be the rest of the grow(for the most part). DL looking droopy but she should perk up 🙂

I had my auto somango not go auto. She seems to be doing a stretch but not forming budlets. Is yours in the top left flowering on time? All the others have buds. That's why I asked
