The Great Auto Showdown

[MmmHmmml3]

So all 3 plants in grow room are flowering a few days and starting to look good, but I have one issue. Short version is that I ended up with 3 plants of a strain I don't care about and they need to be transplanted, but I absolutely do not want to transplant unless there is 100% no other decent option. I removed a lot of lower bud sites thinking it might help.

I don't mind removing a lot of the plant and having much less of a good quality bud. Should I actually cut off a big chunk of the plant or maybe only let so many buds grow and manually remove the rest? Maybe I can let it all grow and just water it more often (don't mind this if it only hurts quality by a smaller amount). Strain is lavender, pot size is 12H x 7.5W (about the same volume as a standard 3g). Sorry how similar this is to posting help with this plant recently. I was planning to transplant, but then found out it's another lavender not my auto dwarf (don't open stealth shipped seeds when you are high)

Oh, the sun is really making an impact. Right plant was moved into the sun several days ago and left plant moved today (both are same age).

More sunshine less rain and they are vegging, the little ones are growing. In the raised bed with the MIS is a Widow banger auto just planted in up to her neck and watered with voodoo juice the 26th when these pics were taken. The Headbanger is starting to jump up, and I have worked some sulfur in around her, I know she will want it.
As bad as I think my outdoor girls are doing, a friends entire crop was washed away in a flash flood, with 6" of top soil. His plants were 6" or so tall at the time. He bought 4 clones, and I gave him some feminized seed, Mazar I Shariff, and an assortment of autos. My garden has been to wet, but at least its still here!
Left to right, Colombian Gold, Bruce Banner 3, Headbanger, Mazar I Shariff/Widow Banger, and Rusty Glue

What is the sulfur for? Did you see a deficiency or is this good to add regularly? I always have a lot of sulfur on hand for my berries

 

[LurkingInTheGrass]

Did it

2 seeds are currently soaking

8o_~

If you leave them in the pots they are now they will finish ,the yield will be smaller and you will have to add nutes but I think they will be ok

 

[oldjarhead100]

for those of you wondering about folier essence here are some before and after pictures of the same plants the 3rd pic is after the forth before ,same with 5 and 6 the after pictures were taken the following day you can tell how much the leaves are reaching for the sky

 

[oldjarhead100]

this is one of the manifolded plants you can see the single leaf then I noticed that some of the singled grew 2 more leafs so maybe there hope

 

[Rwise]

Yes she has shown sulfur deficiency (yellowing veins and then leaf) in the last 2 grows, just getting ahead of her I hope,,,
My soil needs sulfur and I add it every year anyway, testing at the local ag center helps me with what I need to add, cost is 20 bucks for an extended test (way more than NPK)

 

[Rwise]

Do you use it at sleep time for them or???

 

[Rwise]

Thats just what mine are doing as they reveg, onesies, then 3s now 5s, but will they make it to 11?

 

[oldjarhead100]

I had a bunch of plants that a chip monk did the same thing to, I thought they were all dead but they came back so basically he manifolded them for me maybe the same for you

 

[Rwise]

Today's pics on time,,,,the little Widow Banger has been in the soil 4 days (9 days old total), the photos are in veg (finally)
I took a pic of the top of the Colombian Gold, you can see the onesies and up
Look any better today?

 

[SirSmksAlot]

So I figured it out today. She's 64 days from seed. I've got to say that this auto is my favorite plant to date. There's just something exciting about having it outside. Here's her journey so far

 

[oldjarhead100]

I have a 2 hour period of shade in the afternoon so I did it then but yes usually I spray it just before lights out

 

[oldjarhead100]

I'm just saying this cause it popped in my head, will the roots get to hot using that black ground cover

 

[oldjarhead100]

remember that not Auto,in picture behind the blue bucket, that went into bloom and was planted on Dec.15th for the last challenge ,I had moved her out of the GH a few days ago but ended up tossing her in the compost pile ,she went into bloom no stretch,the buds weren't getting bigger and then she started to just die off it looked like bud rot but the conditions were wrong for that ,one strange plant

 

[Rwise]

I hope not, shouldn't be as bad as a pot out in the sun, though this is the first black I have used. I used white vinyl before, if it gets to hot I can cover it with mulch,,,

I have added doses of Epsom salts in my teas with unsulfured molasses and it helps the soil after so much rain. Does help roots and does not burn plants. 2 tablespoons per gal or water old school cheap.

 

[SoOrbudgal]

Looking great love all the sun grows. She's so happy

 

[SoOrbudgal]

Freak of genetic every good grower deserves one or two LOL sheeese
