Scarlet Galaxy and Devil's Food Cake grow

[garbear]

Couldn't make up my mind, so seeds were dropped over 3 days. It ended up being 2 Scarlet Galaxy and 2 Devil's Food Cake, thanks Going2fast. And 2 Bruce Banner. All autos. Dropped straight into half Happy Frog and half Ocean Forest at about 1/4". Then lightly covered with soil and a single spray of water. Soil was moist but didn't drip when squeezed. All took about 4 days until they showed above ground. They'll be under a 6500k led double strip light for about a week. Then into 3 gallon fabric pots with same 50/50 soil mix as above.

Maybe not ideal for everyone, but the process up to this point has always worked well for me. The only planned change is testing a new 400 watt light when they go to the 3 gallon pots. Hope I don't regret it.

7 days above ground. At 2 weeks, the best of each pair will get to continue. These seem to be the winners so far.

Room temps and humidity have been a little lower than I'd prefer.

Will be growing in 3 gallon fabric pots, not 5 gallon.

14 days old. Moved to 3 gallon pots and bigger light today. Still dealing with colder than ideal temps.

I'm curious,why did you decide to go with 3 gallon instead of 5

 

[garbear]

Lack of tent space. The last grow went longer than expected. I was counting on that space for this run. As usual, I was wrong.

A complete new 4x4 setup was delivered yesterday. I'll have room for bigger bags and plants next time.

Ok,I understand,I have limited space for grows also

28 days above ground. I've done just about everything wrong so far. I guess we'll see what they can take.

35 days above ground. Supposed to be Scarlet Galaxy, Bruce Banner, Devils Food Cake... left to right. This site doesn't like my old outdated phone.

Day 42 above ground. I feel bad that these pics don't do the plants justice. DFC is putting up a little resistance, but the Scarlet Galaxy just exploded with bud sites the last couple days. Even after all the mistakes I've made so far.

Day 49 above ground. I had things under control for a minute.Then the stretch happened. Running out of room in the tent.

 

[garbear]

Day 56 above ground. 1st Pic is Scarlet Galaxy. 2nd Pic is Devils Food Cake

Nice tight inter nodes, that's a G2F fast beans. 30 days left and its going to swell up.

Closing in on day 84 above ground. I cut a mid bud from each and let them dry overnight. My tester smoked them this morning. She said chop them. So next week.

 

[ductwizard]

did you train or defoliate at all? i'm about to start some autos and mine looked nothing like that last time

 

[garbear]

They were topped and tied down. It seemed to have stalled them for a bit. I'm still undecided on whether or not I'll do it again next time. Probably not.

The leaves were removed right before the pics were taken. I usually take fan leaves off a couple days before chop. In this case, they were toasted from a couple new nutrient and light things I unsuccessfully tried.

The smoke is really good even before cure. I'm excited to try again.
