Quick grow before the snow...

[homegrown]

Ta-DA! i MacGyvered some side supports in the tent tonight...might need to add a few more if they keep stretching..which i think their gonna do. they get fed tomorrow and i think all hell is gonna break loose once they get something to eat. They look luscious and green now, after furley flush. Autos are 54 days old..both have flowered earlier than suppliers estimates..cheese(8 wks) and Northern Light x BB (11-12wks).

 

[Mr.furley]

Some big healthy looking girls you got there.

 

[homegrown]

im thinking about de-branching medusa..there is lots of sucker stems that have bud sites and do reach the canopy, but are small and spindely. Sooo, i think i might chop off a bunch and just go with some really full healthy branches/buds. See if she produces different buds than the other 2 clones which i'll leave mostly intact.

Man, oh man . . . those plants are the epitome of healthy and vibrant. Looking awesome, homegrown. I'd love to grow an auto out like that.

 

[homegrown]

Watered the girls with some nutes 3 day ago....the stretch is on!! Almost 5"in 72 hrs. Have to re-mount lights today..see if i can get a few more inches above canopy. Did more trimming as well, thinned out smaller colas, probably chop out a few more as they progress.

 

[homegrown]

MAXIMUM CAPACITY!! I had to release most of the LST ties because plants were stretching out as much as they were stretching up! I reconfigured lights so as to get another 3", but any more and i'll have to get really creative. The two autos are WAY ahead of schedule...? According to sellers specs cheese is flowering 2 weeks early and Northern Lights x BB is flowering 3 weeks early.? Both seem to be doing really well, stacking on buds like crazy. Saw some WPM so sprayed them tonight..

If they are Autos - they don't care about the breeders calendar

they (Autos) have 1 timeline (and its all their own ) - grow, flower, die

Three weeks since 12/12 switch and the Mr.furley flush. Trying to keep pH around 6 to 6.3. Plants are doing really well right now..super full, sooo. Im getting the scissors out!

 

[alltatup]

They look quite energetic!! It's true: there's nothing like a flush to super-charge newly flowering plants. Medusa-after looks perfect!!!! I'm a little late, but I'm subbed!!!

Ok so, 4weeks after 12/12 switch the girls are doing Great. The two Autos(Cheese and Northern Lights x Big Bud) are starting to fatten up. Looking really good so far..the Cheese actually smells pretty good, but according to my wife and son, the Northern Lightsx BB smells like cat piss....wtf. (no the cat doesn't go in there and pee) its a closed room.lol The AK clones are starting to stack buds on..much more than first grow. Last grow, buds were very dense but no more than two inches long.These plants seem to be stacking buds up the stem!

 

[Mr.furley]

Very nice homegrown
I got some white cookies for a friend the other day and the first smell it gave me was cat piss, it's some good smoke! J/S.

 

[alltatup]

homegrown Those buds are four weeks old??? F!!!!!!!

 

[homegrown]

Thanks Mr.furley and alltatup. you both played a big part in this grow so far..Furley got my ph problem straightened out and after reading alltatup's last grow journal i decided to cut out LOTS of the smaller stems and buds that wern't gonna produce much. AND i have been running my lights dangerously low for this complete grow. I really want to see what i can get out of these LED lights. And by the looks of things at this point..im gonna take a guess..1lb of dried bud(5plants) compared to 1lb of dried bud for 8 plants(First attempt) fingers crossed!!!

 

[homegrown]

5 weeks after flip. All is going well..only difference is the auto Cheese and Northern Lights x Big bud are drinking Lots of water. Every two days for the most part. The AK photos are looking really nice...i'd say approx another 5-6 weeks.

 

[alltatup]

hg, your training is fantastic!!! That's exactly what I want to achieve on this grow: a tallish trunk and tall colas. I really love the structure, it's perfect for getting those colas into the sweet spot of light. Wow. Kudos!!!! GORGEOUS COLAS!!!

 

[JohnEmad]

They look like small trees. Super growing. Look forward to the updates.

Christmas Harvest? Well, for anyone following, im keeping a close eye on my Auto Cheese and Auto Northern Lights x Big Bud...Their both really close. I have been flushing them for about 4 waters now(2 weeks) Branches are getting heavy with bud..broke a stem on Cheese moving it around, and i had to tie Northern Lights up cause the branches were drooping so much. Trichomes are pretty cloudy and i see a few amber...i'll give them a week. The photo AK-47 clones are beautiful right now..just tied some branches up cause their getting heavy too. They still have probably another month to go so im gonna order some yo-yo's to prop them up. Some pics..

 

[alltatup]

Phabulous, homie, just phat as can be!! It IS beginning to look a lot like christmas!!!!

 

[homegrown]

Going to harvest the Autos on new years eve i think. Their ready now but i want a bit more amber trichomes with these two. Just looking back on my last grow and the harvest time seems to be quite similar..when the autos come off the photos are about two weeks later. Im really happy with the photo clones...they started out kinda iffy but have blossomed into three big budded girls. much larger than their mum. Im installing the rest of my yo-yos today. Oh...and the tent has to stay closed now.............its just a smelly bud factory in there lol.

 

[Mr.furley]

Looking good homegrown
Pretty fun thing about them photoperiod clones huh?
