The Great Auto Showdown

[oldjarhead100]

5 more girls to go out we figured if we took some wide straps over our shoulders then we could tie strap ends to the handles on the pots ,then all we had to carry was the other side of the pot much easier , I will have to take a picture of the GH with everything gone it looks so empty lol

I wish I could have more than 6+6 plants, I would not need a winter grow,,,,
Thursday night, almost 5" of rain,,,,, I have a Headbanger up in place of the lost auto, rain cover over her for now,,, I have also done a raised bed for 1, I'll drop an auto in it as well.
I put one of the Rusty Glues in a 7 gallon dirt pot for the GF, she is excited!
Out in the garden the RG and the BB3 are still in flower (I am flipping the porch light on at 4 AM for a while),,,, so I topped them, early spring bud,, ok it's not ripe as I like, but a nice sampler,,, now I can hardly wait until these are ripe!

I never thought I would be telling my outdoor plants this time of year, veg not flower!! We have, I hope, more sunlight on its way,,,


Edit;! I just found 6 ripe seed on the MIS, tell me it's not to late to start outdoor plants in OK! (please). I have 1 seed in PT/baggie, will plant it in the raised bed.

It’s been raining almost every day. I just hope it chills out a bit when they all go to flower

Not much to post. 6 days after switch to 12/12

And the new girls. 2 fast buds girl scout cookies and 2 six shooters. The six shooter even trained will each fill the tent they are in in a month.

The ones in flower look fantastic!!!

 

[Rwise]

If it dont I'll cover them,,,, almost 6" this week alone,,,,

 

[Spidermite]

Thanks. The babies just got moved to better light. Have 1 failing to thrive. But some of my best plants ever started sick. So we will see. Not to mention it's a horrible pic.

The other plants are still under MH. They are growing several inches taller a day with that. Going to go another week with MH before switching to HPS

Anyone ever do this to help light hit new growth tips when you cant bend underneath? Wouldn't this kind of have the same outcome as if you fim it? The top growth should slow due to less light hitting all the leaves on the entire surface while the new tips grow out, right?

ignore the top part of the plant because I did fim it the day before. I still had trouble with light on the new tips because there is little spacing between nodes and and no room to move the leaves underneath

 

[Spidermite]

Just remove that to finger leaf. Yes I remove all blocking growth tips.

They end up looking like the one I posted in the auto grow off today. Just topped, selective removal of fan leaves and lst.

 

[MmmHmmml3]

Spidermite I thought it would save some time and create kind of a fim effect without any cutting or slowing growth as much. I guess if the difference is minimal then it would be easier to just cut it.

Red, my beagle terrier mix dug up one of my grapefruits.....bitch! She came close to being used as fertilizer when replanting it. It’s one of the drawbacks of using blood meal and having outside dogs. It’s 1am and I’m just getting back up from my shop. It’s been a long day. I’ll post updates on my white widow autos tomorrow. I’m just too damn tired to even go in there. I will say that I need to start running my exhaust. I opened my front door and their smell hit me hard! Lol.
In the pix are 2 original glues and 3 iced grapefruit. They age from 1-1/4 to 1-3/4 months old.
🙏🏼✌🏻

I had a 2 1/2 gallon bucket sitting outside under the eve on the barn ,it was empty then after our bad storm it was full thats a lot of rain

 

[oldjarhead100]

Rwise Rusty glues this strain sounds very interesting could you send a link to check it out thanks

 

[oldjarhead100]

a couple of years ago I had a porcupine dig up my holes before I put the plants in ,I caught it leaving one day and I stayed on its ass scaring it for about 1/2 mile ,never bothered them again lol

 

[Rwise]

Certainly! Here's a right up

My buckets are in the field, in just one rain there was 12 inches in it, it has holes in the bottom, so it had more.

I have stopped the voodoo, I think I broke the spell stopping rain here, sorry for getting things to wet,,,

I spent most of the day yesterday starting my veggie garden, I have 2 rototillers a big Huskavarna,and a 20 year old Mantis .I was having trouble with the big tiller the governor just wont adjust or is no good so I brought it down to the local small engine repair shop it will be another week at least ,then I have the Mantis it started but runs at 1/2 speed ,both of them got new carbs this year ,after a half hour of screwing with it I said f it and broke down and borrowed my friends mantis holy shit this thing is amazing 4 stroke so its super quite ,has a kick stand (real cool) starts with one pull ,I ran it all day and have not used a tank of gas,. the girls all looked great in the GH

I have a plant issue and not sure what it is and it doesn't match photos here on the diagnose section. Post is kind of long and a simplified paragraph below.

TLDR Would foxfarm sledgehammer cause the newest growth to get small brown tips? No old leaves only newest growth and it's on 3 plants each with slightly different soils and watering so I think we can rule those 2 out.

2 or 3 days ago I noticed brown tips, just the very very very tip and nothing else. Didn't think much of it, figured light nute burn. Wanted to wait it out a couple days before posting since it seemed minor, but it is getting worse (or at least I am just starting to spot it more and it was already there. This morning I look really close and see that it's on basically every growth tip and newest leaves. It does not affect old leaves or bottom leaves. Hopefully that is a obvious sign to one of you experts. Would nute burn mostly affect newest growth? I was expecting nute burn to hit bottom leaves first since the stem feeds bottom up, right?

I have a feeling it's not nute burn, if anything I don't use enough nutes. Mostly calmagnon, floralicious, kelp-molasses-fish blend, o calm down pH down, seabird guano in pellet form, worm casting and a general 10-15-10 liquid, nothing really intense. I also use less than rec dosage making sure not to over fert. I don't think I am over or under watering at twice a week watering. Sometimes the top half of a 12H inch pot might feel dry on the fabric like crispy ish, but it's still a little heavy so I use a mister and water the top half some with a small amount. I feel like I don't underwater, but at the same time if I water more often then I will be overwatering.

Plants are 4 - 7 weeks old and no issues before. There is one change that comes to mind. I bought foxfarm Sledgehammer and used it a couple days before noticing this and then a couple days after sledgehammer I did a feed of calmagnon and floralicious. Would sledgehammer flushing cause this? If so, why would only the newest growth be affected? They say use sledgehammer during veg. I have two flowering plants that for the most part use the same basic nutes plus bloom booster, but I did not use sledgehammer on them and they don't have this issue. It's the only thing that makes sense to me, but not sure why or how. Any advice would be great, thanks.

*edit*

Most of this makes the leaves turn a light brown, but on the newest growth (you know the tips that are still together and haven't really split to form two leaves yet) it turns a brown or black like s section of the leaf is dead. I was able to get one decent photo (last one) where it looks this way.

Those are beautiful healthy looking plants. You do a great job growing.

Not sure about that last pic - but my guess for your brown tips is this - I'm guessing you use regular molasses cuz I did the same thing a few times when I didn't have organic, unsulphered molasses.

Sunday - family pic day - watered and foliar fed at the same time - find out in a couple of hours how that liked it.
