Looks great Juicy! Looks like we all got started on spring as well. I have. OJH is way ahead of us - he will be planting outside soon as the snow is gone.

Like to say thanks again to Retodd , Redwasp for starting this thread. I have learned a lot. Wasn't very confident on my LSTING techniques before I started - but all is good now. So good I started 2 more Purple Stilton and a strain that is supposed to grow to 5 feet. All autoflowers.
It's called 'Think Big' - a strain from Dutch Passion. Mostly sativa - high THC - high yielder - 13 week flowering, which is 90 days of flowering. So this one I will definitely be LSTING, the other 2 I will top and see how they grow.
And they are 5 days out of the soil.

Happy growing everyone.

​​​​​​​Don't wait for spring - do it now.
 
If y'all checked out Nebula's spiel last week she mentioned "Cinderella Jack" as the autoflower she got most wasted on. Hehehe - well she said something like that. I say that cuz that strain is from Dutch Passion as well.
 
Thanks everyone. I’m a little confused though? So when I cut my plants, I chopped the big mains and most everything else that was worthy lol but seriously, I cut all the good stuff and then just left the larf on the plants and just set them outside the tent so that I could dry what I cut. So I dried it for 3 days and on the third day it felt dry on the outside but the stems still didn’t snap. So I went ahead and jarred them. But then the next day or so when I checked them, they were basically soggy. So I’m assuming they were drying too fast. Anyways, I didn’t know what to do so I just laid all the buds out on a rack over night and when I woke up they were dry to the touch again. So I replaced them in the jars and they’ve been there since. I’m not sure what’s going on or what might have happened but when I open the jars, you almost get some fruity scents but then it’s almost like composting grass. Just grassy and kind of sweet smelling. But then when you take the buds out and smell them individually, they almost have no smell or it’s like a weird cardboard/pine cone smell. I just don’t know what’s happening?? I figured it would be super pungent by now. Or at least have some of its characteristic smells. So to top things off, I decided to chop the larf that i sat off to the side and start drying it too. I just cut the plant at the base and have been drying in a cabinet since the tents occupied. Anyways, I noticed one plant still had some green color to the larf buds/leaves. Unlike the rest of the plants that had all pretty much completely changed colors all the way thru. So I pulled them out tonight and was observing the smells and I noticed that the plants with the “discolored” buds did have much smell either like the ones in the jars. But when I grabbed that still green plant and took a whiff, it about knocked me out! It was extremely pungent, it smelled like some super potent top shelf bud to me. Just stung the nostrils and could almost take your breath. INSANE SMELL. So, I have mostly said all of that so ask this, do any of you think that I could have basically baked my plants with my 400w hps in a 2x2? Because all the buds that were exposed directly to light completely changed colors, lost all fan leaves and from my mild observation has almost no smell or a weird cardboard-ish smell. Hard to describe. But I guess just that one plant, it’s was dense enough to block that intense light from those little buds underneath and therefore they’re were really doing much? But they’re the ones that actually smell like a reeking skunky weed plant should! So yeah, I have my own opinions as to why but really I’m at a total loss as to why my buds don’t smell like weed. Tia for any help.
 
Juicyj89 I’ve had that happen with me a couple times before too. I think it was Canuck that I recently told what I do, but I dry my buds hanging in my room with a 20” fan on low blowing directly on them. My room is 8’X8’ and I’ll run my exhaust filter in the room cause it’s in the house. My parent would dry in our barn in the tobacco stripping room with multiple fans. That room is 18’X10’. After 1-2 days they’d be ready to bag or jar with orange peels. If you get a green or fresh cut grass smell then they aren’t ready at all. Density of the buds IS a big factor. For them I’d separate and lay them on a tray.
Good luck bro
 
Canuck147 & oldjarhead100 Spidermite I was thinking that instead of starting a new thread we just keep on with this one for our summer grow. Any objections? I know some have already started theirs. I know pagan isn’t planning on doing any more growing this year. Juicyj89 I see how he has his started too. Im still a few weeks away from starting my outdoor and my indoor. I’ll be doing widows again indoor, but wanting to do the photo competition/outdoor grow.
Anyway, just thought I’d ask and throw it out there.
 
As soon as my cookies are done, I plan on stopping until fall. However,,,,,,, in the fall I plan on joining you guys on a grow, just have to find the auto seeds (I will).
 
Nuthin much to brag about. Lots of bad luck with this my first auto, and winter grow. My White Russian mother far right a photo period. I hope I can get her out of the basement in the Spring. Center the stunted White Widow Auto cricket victim. I'd be foxtailing too if I had my roots chewed completely off. Going to the chopping block tomorrow. The far left supposedly 2 Gorilla Glue #4 Autos. The front one looks like what it's supposed to be. The back one doesn't even look like the same strain. From Seedsman not in the original packaging. Their sister born without a tap root. Front center 2 child clones from Mother Russia.
Can't wait for Spring to get back to photos. Will veg outside and flower in my barn.

Temporary set up in the corner next to the water softener. Boiler for the heating system about 8 feet to the left. Probably a bit too hot and dry but I do have a box fan on them.
