The AutoToka grow....first auto... 2nd grow!

Patience BU2B LOL! Yeah I wish, lol! Probably be closer to a Christmas present. Early Dec I'm guessing. We'll have to depend on Santa for treats but I'm thinking an early Thanksgiving dinner maybe...grin! What can't you eat?
 
Did I hear Thanksgiving dinner ?? Stuffed turkey with mashed potato and gravy..! Oh yeah the girls are looking good sir !
 
Heck yeah Farmbuck, you and Louise are invited too! Stop over on your way to the Yucatan. Yes stuffing and mashed potatoes with giblet gravy! Turkey and pumpkin pie and cranberry sauce! You can bring the appetizer, some Lebanese Blond perhaps! Do French Canadians have a similar holiday feast?
 
TOKABIGONE Here we do celebrate it sir !! My mom bless her soul is from Sudbury, Ontario and some of the wife's relatives are British and Irish but mostly Italian from the north so yes it's traditional here. Louise bake her own pumpkin pies that I grown this year. Finally this holiday we will have a gathering with the grandchildren and family. We celebrate in October, next week to be exact. Already have our bird lolll I believe yours is in November non ?

Are you thinking of feeding your girls soon ?
 
Yessir, last Thursday of the month. Probably my favorite holiday. Tables heaping with lovely heart attack food but hey it's a holiday, right! The gals just got a top dressing of and watering in of casting tea. After they flower I will add some fish emulsion and kelp to my tea. I'm trying to stay away from liquid nutes if at all possible. I think I'm familiar enough now with nute issues so I can identify on sight and correct.
 
YEARS ago I asked my wife about Canadian Thanksgiving - she being Canadian by birth and citizenship. I told her I knew all about the American Thanksgiving Holiday, but; I had to admit, I was a little unsure of the history of Canadian Thanksgiving and what exactly they were 'thankful' for. I'll always remember her reply with a smile when I recall her answer... "We're Thankful we're not American!" :)

Day 30 today. I removed 6 fans that were shading bud sites. They are still stretching and I hope they will grow maybe another 6 inches. For an auto newb I think they look pretty good for 29 days yesterday. Pic 1 the main cola was getting friskie with the lights so I bent it over and staked it down. A tiny bit of light stress in it's tips with minor burn. Today they get worm cast tea and a little more top dress. They're drinking 2 to 3 qts each watering now. I have not pHed the last 2 waterings with no issue so I believe my created soil is now self correcting pH as it should. That was the goal to make it like regular soil in that respect. No more chasing pH and no chemical nutes. Next watering I will give casting tea with kelp and Alaska salmon emulsion. My soil recipe is in an earlier post on this thread if you're interested. Coco Loco base with natural amendments. If all holds true, this will be my soil choice going forward as I go back to photos next grow. pH has been my biggest bugaboo in my previous grow so natural correction by the soil is a huge advance for me. Of course the final results will tell the whole story. I think these results are more exciting to me than what ever yield I get in terms of quantity and potency. Although those factors remain a big part of the equation. Will the concept that soil grown surpasses any other for taste and strength hold true for created soil? I'll know in a couple months.

Yessir they are! I'm a bit amazed at how tight the nodes are for Sativas! Buds are gonna stack in there like cordwood! Should be fat colas especially if they keep stretching too
 
Update: Day 37 from sprout. The ladies continue to look healthy altho maybe a little hungry for nutrition. No frosting as yet! They have evidently finished their stretch and I believe my created soil has run out of nutes they need. Alaska Salmon will be in my mailbox shortly a day early. Thx Amazon!
They were pretty dry this morning so they each got a half gallon of plain water with some unsulfered molasses. Later they will get two more each with the fish goo. I'm hoping this might spur them into one final grow spurt then finish filling the buds. I'm also going to top dress with Recharge mycorarzie (sp). This is a really fun grow with all going swimmingly so far! I'm very impressed and super pleased with the results of my new soil and most especially because it is self correcting pH. To start with an amended coco base with organics rather than chemicals and have great results without pH correction is amazing to me. (pause)

I hit pause because my fish sh** is here...Mixed up an oz to a gallon of filtered tap water, no pH! Officially recorded 1/2 inch growth last 24 hrs. 2 qts to each lady so that's a gallon each today. They will be bone dry in 2 days (I never let that happen!). Reviews all say the fish really stinks. I can't say as I lost my sense of smell last year. It wouldn't bother me anyway, I've been an avid salmon fisher all my life in Oregon! C'mon people, look at the bottle, it;s a 1% emulsion for pity sake! I'd drink some if the stakes were high enough, lol!!

I read somewhere that adding fish during bloom will intensify sugar coating. Anyone confirm or deny? Have a great weekend everyone!

Well done sir TOKABIGONE !! I would start with half the strength of the fish poo and do the wait and see game. Sometime less is best. I never fished salmon in my life just northern walleye. I'm more of a big game hunter than a fisherman.

I don't know much about autos and at day 57 and in full bloom I'm thinking of really reducing the 5-1-1 Alaskan fish and just giving them molasses and bloom nutrients. .

So far I'm impressed. Not with the girls... me lolllll

Oops, day late and a dollar short Farmbuck! It's a done deal. I poured a fat oz into the jug and dumped it in. I'm using Bloom City Alaska Salmon from big A and it says 4/1/0.5 so I hope I didn't burn them. I personally think they look a little short of nitro, they've been living on cast tea so far so a boost might help IMO. They're strong girls, I think they can take it! All that fish protein and amino acids from the fat and blood should certainly do something! One more shot in two weeks at 1/2 strength should get them to the finish line with just water thereafter. Thanks!
 
Well guess you'll see in a couple days how they liked the diet of fish :) I don't use it indoor anymore have you smelled why yet??
 
Haha Girl as I said above the fish smell or any smell including pot is lost to me as my sense of smell vanished last year after a serious ear, nose infection. Hell of it is I don't have any idea if I'm stinking up the neighborhood in bloom or not. Can't smell the flowers if I stuff them in my nose. I hate it!
 
Yeah I'll just serve them a steaming cup of fish goo! Just check them no burn no problem this morning! This grow is going so well I'm holding my breath waiting for the gremlins to pop out!
 
Here we go... 2 days after feeding Alaska salmon 1 oz to a gallon, each got 2 qts. Their color has brightened and they are perky looking! I put a stake beside the two tallest colas to mark growth. The hook top even with the flower top. Over 1 1/2 inches in the last 2 days with an inch just since yesterday. I was really hoping for this reaction from them. Any bets on how much more stretch? Now check out the comparison pics...

yesterday today

yesterday today

I'm impressed, the red stake is 1/2 inch in 24 hrs! They are 5 weeks and 4 days from sprout in the pot. If all these calyxs swell very much my buds will be fat!

These are real fun but I'm more excited to get to my landrace seed runs next up!
