The Great Auto Showdown

[LurkingInTheGrass]

@Mr.furley
please, could you expand on that? 'optimum cut time'
more than just making sure the plant is growing, and can take a cut?

 

[Juicyj89]

Dude what are those? Autos? They’re going to be flipping huge! 😲

 

[Mr.furley]

I think Juciyj just found it!
After you cut a time or twenty-seven, you find a sweet spot were cutting speeds up growth and does not slow it down one bit. The pictures above explain it best.

These are regular photoperiod mystery strain. They grow very fast during veg but almost no stretch at flower

Today is day 19 for the bubba kush auto. She is a little tall, but very healthy altogether. The time lapse is a 9 day timelapse of her. Looking forward to training her!

I got the new autos planted in forever homes ,I found 3 types of different soil so I planted in each as my own experiment . the first is mutient louie is in kind soil and it looks sad ,I think the light was to close or over watered either way it should be fine Ill hit them with f oilier essence the second pic is in Coast of Maine platinum series ,and the third is in roots organic green fields , I had to take one of the Jack H girls the last pic is of her Main Kola It came in at a whopping 137 grams wet that comes out to just over and ounce dry

oldjarhead100 You’re prolly either seeing perlite or vermiculite in there buddy. There’s also some larger chunks of calcium too.

This sux, I just wrote this all out and it deleted itself....lol. Here we go again.
I know I tagged you guys, but I’m also writing and adding pix for completely new growers. I wanted to show a before and after of my training on JR this morning. I did a post yesterday for DBK. For the newest of growers I wanted to show how I do my measurements for my nutes, etc. I use a 10cc syringe to measure and add everything to a 1/2 gallon jug of distilled water, or rain water if I have it. I know some use RO water
Well, the girls are 3 weeks old and they’d be giant bushes if it wasn’t for the type of training I’m doing on both. First time growing blue cheese and they are already putting out smell as soon as I open the door to my grow room. They are both doing really well. The main branches on SR are about 5/16” now. I’m constantly adjusting and training every day or every other. Most of you will finish way before me because the type of training I’m doing. I still have a personal goal of a min of 20oz for SR.
As always 🙏🏼✌🏻
Looking forward to reading and seeing the rest of y’alls today!

Time for the Saturday update, the girls look pitiful,,,
The Headbanger is doing nicely, and will soon be flowering, a bit of training but not topped. Next the White Widow is ,, well,,, spread out. I have trained the limbs out so the main top can get some light. What I dont get is why is the left side is outgrowing the right side, and center?!!? A few close ups as it is well, you can see! Now comes the freak (White Moscow), born without a center top, she made 2 limbs which I trained out, broke 1. I left it be and it is still growing, the next limb node down has replaced it and is now competing with it, cool! Grow baby grow! And some new girls we have a Himalaya Blue Diesel, and a Snowryder. I lost the sweet tooth, forgot to replace the dome,,, new seed dropped, maybe I can pull my head out and do better,,,,

Good day everyone - my thingies are coming along - looking kinda ugly, but next week should be better.

 

[Doubledealing72]

Thanks OJH! That's a bummer about the camera though! They should make them compatible with the 5 hz. It seems to be the normal router setting.

 

[Canuck147]

This past week I watered them once with nutes. Next watering will be with a tea blend. Foliar fed once and actually twice, did it after pics were posted.
Been busy with the training. Usually two or three times a day I check their bindings. Thing 1 has taken to the training pretty good, this week will be seeing a big change I think. Thing 2 has taken to it as well, little slower,. Thing 3 doesn't like it much, pouting for the past few days. May be stunted, we'll see. Not surprised if I stunt one, or all 3, we'll see.
Good luck all you posters.

 

[Juicyj89]

Well here’s the start of week 4* for me a the 4 girls. They’re doing well at the moment. I think they have a calmag deficiency. But I ordered some and it’ll be here today. So hopefully that’s what it is. Anyways, posted some side pics from a day or so ago and then a little gif of last weeks pic, mid week and then today. I also topped all 4 if i haven’t mentioned that. No training otherwise. Hope everyone has a good day and happy new year.



Today

 

[9fingerleafs]

Looking pretty good my friend

 

[Juicyj89]

Hey thanks! That’s really a relief to hear.

 

[Canuck147]

Yes indeed looks very very good

 

[Juicyj89]

Thank you Canuck147

HAPPY SATURDAY!!


my Things:
Royal Gorilla Automatic (Royal Queen Seeds)
50% Indica / 30% Sativa / 20% Ruderalis
56-70 days after germination


Thing 1
27 days from seed

PaganRich, thinking of you...
pinched and rolled her (above and below node 2)
gently eased her over
and firmly secured her into position
put up the extra guide rails for the fan leaves, trying to prevent her from twisting Node 2 back to 'normal'

re: training
working with whatever she gives me, will just try to keep a fairly flat canopy, with a slight, uphill grade towards the top(s) of the plant (where ever that\they end up :wink

noted slight tip burn, removed some nutes from res, replaced with plain (CALiMAGic and Armor Si) water. she started with 25% GH nute schedule - will pull back to 15-20% (RQS did say 'minimal nutrients' lol)

lights at 22-24 inches (almost full sunlight range)

and in weird, but ok, news - I think my topping might be actually be a FIMing?

Thing 2
21 days from seed

before the gentle madness

she just put her roots in the nutes, 2 days ago - added a little bit of nutes to res today, during top up

I haven't/didn't/not sure if I am going to top her, at the moment, just cleaned off node 0 (cotyledon, first leaves), gave her a little squeeze and was gentle when I started bending her. the six days difference is still a big difference (between Thing 1 and Thing 2)

she is going to need a couple of days to recover, might have to put up a "do not touch me" sign, for the guy attached to my hands :big-smile:

lights at 22-24inches

and here she is, after the gentle bending
