The Great Auto Showdown

[uncledoug]

Day 82 for thing 2, White Moscow. Harvested this morning, the buds are the firmest buds I've grown yet, nice and hard. She was 22" tall from the soil, 16" across. I'll send Retodd my final dry weight when done, by my calculations it should be around 66grams dry from 322g wet. I didn't have any BIG buds so didn't bother taking a photo with a measuring tape but did take final photos of her just before I chopped her.
I have 3 more "picture 5" that I grew with her and expect to get at least the same amount from each of them, probably more though since they are bigger and have some nice large buds.
I really enjoyed growing along with all of you and learned a lot, so thank you for that.

Question on dry weight. When is everyone doing their dry weight, after drying but before cure or after cure?

I like Louie. The rest look great as well.

Great job sticking with your grow - your buds look fabulous.

 

[Canuck147]

I'm going to weigh just before I put my buds in jars.

I could, but I don't think she's missing out on too much light. I have 4 autocobs that are independent from each other, and the 2 lights over the Bubba are quite a bit lower than the 2 lights above the other 2.

Appreciate the advice though!

Looks awesome! That stock looks thick as can be, rock hard nugz is always a win in my book🔥I'm hearing nothing but good thing about White Moscow
great job uncledoug 🖒

NICE - will be keeping an eye out for that thread

 

[LurkingInTheGrass]

still have plenty? no crows around helping you with that pile?

Everyone is doing great. And I think we need to have weights on buds along with total size. No way to tell how dense a bud is without weight. Density is as important or more important than size I think. But just a suggestion.


Some of the other plants I have in my tent have buds 15 inches tall or more. But they are no where as dense as thing 1. Thing one has buds as hard as a baseball but are no where near as "large" as the others. But weight may be comparable.

mcubed476 - your Bubba Kush is looking great! I have been watching our grows - doing a kinda side by side -

Everyone watching should note both our seeds are from Humboldt - we are both using COBS - I have been on 18/6 - both in soil - only difference being nutes.

My Bubba is 10 days older at 92 days.

My previous grows of Bubba produced buds similar to what mcubed has now. I have used Foliar Essence on my past 3 grows and noticed with the Viparspectra lights I was using the pre-flowers had huge amounts of pistils in big bunches that all developed into rock hard nugs. Not overly huge but all around 2 - 5 grams dried. Buds before were always hard and full of resin as well.

Now with this Optic 4 the buds are developing as my last grow - many, and all real hard - difference being so far is more purply colors happening. I think our weather going below zero every night has helped that purple along.
This was from the other post.

Thank you Mr.furley,

Canuck147, That's when I normally weigh mine also, so that's how I'll weigh it. Thank you.

Thanks Canuck147 , yours is looking great too! I grow in coco myself, and I leave my lights on 24/7. It has been really cool to have someone else growing the same strain by the same breeder in this competition. I definitely won't have the biggest bud, but I think we will both be happy with our harvests!

And as for the COBS, I can't recommend them enough. Quiet, efficient, and easy to use. Your cobs look awesome, if I ever upgrade, I may look into them!

 

[Doubledealing72]

Plenty of crows, but even more bud 😂

The girls got a haircut yesterday. Also lollipoped them. Was gonna take before and after pics but I didn't lol

 

[Spidermite]

Looking nice.

Hey what’s up gwe? This is my first post, also this is my first grow.
Strain: bubba gum auto by Dr. krippling
medium: coco+perlite
nutrients: gh flora trio, Cali magic, blackstrap molasses
lighting: 300 watt hps
Training: This plant was topped to the 2nd node, super cropped, and some lst as well. Thanks for the read!

That’s what I’m talking about OzBud . I use 62% packs when curing and even add a slice of orange peel when I cure. The winner of this will be someone by far, so a difference of just a few grams won’t matter. My biggest thing I’m looking for is the sizes of biggest colas. Next month when I list the winners I’ll add and tag all the cola pix.

 

[Retodd]

Hell, I’m so far behind with the fire I had I’m gonna be in last place anyway. Btw, you have my favorite profile pic in here...lol. How many plants are in those jars?

 

[Retodd]

uncledoug Go ahead and take a pic and measure your best bud. Mine aren’t going to amount to shit, but I still will. They look beautiful! Don’t know if you’ll have read my earlier post, but final day I’m going to post and tag everyone’s biggest bud.
