[KTM690]

My autos starting to explode to bad I can't load pics wish I had a hr to wait for it to load. Oh well done trying it gave it 3 weeks good luck all my pics will b on 420 magazine

took off all the sugar leaves, but have upped my molasses content on their feeding to make up for their loss, dum question but I thought the sugar leafs were just a name of the leaf why are you upping Molasses ,Im asking cause its something I dont know about lol

 

[oldjarhead100]

Mutient Louie has 32 top bud sites ,I noticed that the 3 way growth is on the stems and bud sites to I find that amazing ,I wish she was a photo I would clone her

I have taken some cuttings from autos for clones to make seed with, the seed from these will be of 1 parent only in hopes to get more plants like the parent. Will it work, IDK never grew autos before, I will get seed,,,, but there is no guaranty they will be exactly like Momma.
That would an interesting trait to see if one can reproduce!

oldjarhead100 They’re called sugar leaves because their main function is to turn the mixture of water and light into sugar for your plant. I had no choice but to cut them off because they were all damaged. Adding extra molasses or sugar to the root system is my best bet to make up the difference. So far they are slowly starting to come back a little. They’ve been completely trimmed as of yesterday. I’m glad you told me about using some molasses during the whole grow before when I’d only use sugar during the last few weeks. I’m just trying to do it all as a test to bring them back on the botany side of it. I read a book on bonsai too and using some of the knowledge I’ve picked up from that. Just doing what I can brother

 

[Retodd]

oldjarhead100 Did some close ups of how she’s reacting to my new treatment method. It only let me upload 2 pix however. I’ve had to cut off a few branches on her. I seen discoloring in the stems and knew they were drawing energy that wasn’t going to be enough, so I sacrificed them.

 

[Rwise]

Ok I have a question, I need to cut my lights to 14.5/9.5 for a photo plant. How will this affect the autos that are due next month? Is that going to slow them down? Then after 3-4 weeks of growth 12/12 them long enuf for this plant to tell me what it is, then back up to 18/6.

I'm using my HP laptop with Windows 7. Just tried again but still won't load. Funny thing is yesterday morning I posted a picture for Juicyj89 on his thread and it worked fine.

My opinion Retodd - to me it doesn't look so good. I've had a long look and wasn't even sure you want this opinion - but - looks to me like your pistils are darkening and it has trichomes all over the plant. Your plant is trying to bloom and finish. I hope I'm wrong.

 

[LurkingInTheGrass]

just my opinion - I haven't finished any auto's yet
it will slow down. light is plant food. you provide less food, she will react

 

[Retodd]

As I said Canuck147 I’m gonna really give them till this weekend to know for sure. The pistols are darkened from the smoke damage done to them. I was impressed with the trichomes production before this all happened. If I don’t see significant change by this weekend I’m gonna pull them and start new ones. I won’t know wether to scream or cry if I have to do that.

Thing 2 White Moscow Day 52. Well I can post pictures now, not sure what happened but any pics that I tried to post when the server got full won't load, but previous pics or new pics will. So for those of us still having problems, I suggest taking new pics and try posting them.

 

[Rwise]

That's what I am thinking, also never done autos, but how much will it slow them down,,,

 

[Rwise]

Going back through my records, I track everything, these girls may be thirsty! I have been feeling the soil, and using a moisture gauge, but with compacted soil, I think I have been sticking the probe into a lump, and its moist. Checking several places reveal dry soil, (the perlite will help here, soon as these are done) again the records show I have been watering them (only) every 8 to 12 days. I am going to increase the watering frequency to them! The Headbanger after sulfur and water is greening up! All 3 are setting on now,,,
Also I think the lights were making them to hot, so I raised the lights, each plant has 8-12 28 actual watt CFLs

 

[RagWeedDWC]

Can you move your photo in and out? Should not take long to determine the sex.

 

[Juicyj89]

Okay so the way I see it is yes, you will probably loss some weight because as said above light is food and if they go from an abundance to a limited supply they basically be going on a diet. But again this is just my opinion and some what educated guess. Either way, they will still produce.

 

[Retodd]

Still a toss up on what to do with them. The fish emulsion has helped a bit. No matter what I’m gonna start 2 more this weekend in solo cups. I figure that during the two weeks they’ll be getting ready in them will determine what I do with these two. God, they were so beautiful a couple weeks ago too.

 

[Retodd]

I said fuck it and put 2 jock horrors in their solos today, so their start date might as well be February 1st. I’m sure if anything I can fit another bag in my tent and use 1/2 my flux box for them. I’ll have a couple weeks to figure out how to work it out, but I’m still gonna be in the damned competition! 😂

 

[PRIMO]

Try not to flux it up this time Bro.

 

[Mr.furley]

Damn it PRIMO that's fluxing hilarious.
