The Great Auto Showdown

[Cloud]

Got my autos today 😁. Now to pick a strain. Im thinking ill end up doing the sour60 since its the fastest.

Here's a tip for y'all - for bigger looking buds - just get a mini bic lighter and your buds will look twice as big as they are.

 

[Redwasp]

Lol I think that might fall under rule number 2. Be honorable.

 

[Canuck147]

But seriously - have my Vortex fan on the wall - tent is cleaned out - 3 gallon fabric pots are acclimatizing in the tent - 3 beans germinating - ummmm guess I'll have to unpack my virginal Optic 4 COB.

More than just an on or off switch - if I can figure how to use this light properly - just let me remind most viewers that a lot of the earlier Cannabis Cup winners were Canadian entries - way back in the 70's 80's I think - anyways ……………….

To be a contender in this showdown one must start with a plan - before - they start their grow. Usually I just top my plants and wing it from there - but me thinks this grow will have to be low. No more 4 foot autos this time. So here's my plan...……………………………………….

Hahaha Now That's funny right there.

 

[Redwasp]

Nice. Cant wait to see what she can do.

 

[oldjarhead100]

I wonder if someone ever did that thanks for the chuckle

 

[oldjarhead100]

so my prisim 630 cmh fixture and bulbs came in so I will be swapping my hps out . thinking of turning the wattage down to 600 and hang it over autos , IDK i have 6 300w leds in it right now

 

[Retodd]

Nice! You sound like me with my new light! Lol

Went with the Sour60 and i started to germinate them. Started soaking 5 seeds last night and then their going into rapid rooters. Gonna label 2 or 3 of them and wait till they show sex. If thing 1 is female its the one i pick lol and if its male i move onto the next plant.

Mr. Furley''s Photoperiod grow in your auto show.

went in water at 2100 hrs 11/27.

will flip on or before 1/1/19.
42 days 18/6 = 756 light hours.
Projecting harvest between 2/26-3/1
55 days 12/12= 660
projecting 97 day @ 1416 light hrs​

I may not be the fastest, I might not have the most, but I'll give you a run for your money. Anybody care to track light hours? because for me power cost less out of peak hours so it is not economical to run a light 24 hours a day, so I dont grow Autos! for me it's all about grams x watts = $$$.

Good luck to everyone.

[Redwasp]

We will see what she can do in that time period. Be interesting to see.

I'm looking into Optics for my tent, pretty excited your gonna run one

 

[Retodd]

That’s why I buy fems....lol

 

[Retodd]

Ok fellas...here it is. I don’t know if any soil growers want to try basically what we’ve been mixing for over 40 yrs, but here’s what I do now. Back in the day when we had horses we used a lot of manure.
As you know we’re all organic here.
I start with a 50/50 peat moss and organic potting mix
Dpending on the amount of soil I’m mixing is the amount of vermiculite, this case was 2+ cups.....I eyeball everything...lol.
I then add in a couple tablespoons of blood and bone meal.
I mix the shit out of it.
Last but not least I add 1/3 mix of organic worm castings and then mix everything together for a good 15 min or so to make sure I’m all good.
I know a lot of you buy premade soils, etc like fox farms n such. I personally think it’s better to just get your hands in and mix everything yourself.
I went ahead and added pix of the brands we use.
🙏🏼✌🏻Brothers n sisters

 

[Doubledealing72]

That's fucking great! Lol

 

[Cloud]

Yea needed to be cheap because my heating bill is way to high in the winter. Reg seeds half the price. I might try to pollinate a plant or two and see if I can get some stable seeds.

 

[Doubledealing72]

Those look pretty cool! I love cobs, mine look a bit different than yours, but I can't complain at all about them!

 

[BurningTeddy]

Got my seeds today! All set to start germinating on the 1st!

Think I'm gonna run the Kosher13.

 

[Redwasp]

Very nice. Let's get ready to GET IT ON.
