The Great Auto Showdown

[Spidermite]

Yes and I know im speaking to the choir but remember that little things can affect the look, density, aroma, taste, and strength of every bud. One my have more air, or light, or just be friendlier causing them to grow different. Thats why I jar every plant by itself and label them all. Because even with clones they are a bit different at the final outcome.

Ok for those who were in the past auto showdown you know we started dec 1st, or at least I did. The plants took me about 100 days and 1 is being harvested today on 65 day claims from breeders. I topped those plants.

I started this one 65 days ago if Im looking at the right notebook. It is a MSNL Blue Tooth like thing 2 was in the growoff. I did zero training on this one. Apparently training slows them down alot but seriously increases yields. This one im guessing will yiled half of what her older sister did, but she finished on time. I did 5 this time of 5 different strains with zero training and they are all ready this week in under 70 days.

That was one of the plants that suffered through not being taken care of right at the end of its flower. It made it out with the least damage. But no idea what she would have done had she not gone through lack of water.

Colombo Both were directly beneath a CMH 315. They received identical amounts of light, were grown in the exact same medium with the same nutrients. They were germinated at the same time both being of the same age. The pistils on the second are no where near showing anywhere near harvest time while the first I could harvest right now, but will wait for 5 more days. The leaf structure and general macro appearance of the plants are entirely dissimilar. This is not a phenotype variation, but entirely different strains. At least they were both autos, but that is about it. Seedsman agrees with me. I sent them pics.

 

[Colombo]

I would have to agree based on what you have stated. Another issue with seeds. It's a shame. I had an issue with offset lighting that slowed a plant growth that's why I asked. Still nice looking Buds though !

 

[starramus]

Well thank you Colombo The top one should yield a bit more than a buzz. The other I will give a reprieve setting its chop date somewhere down the road.

Hey everyone!

My harvest is finally dry! My Bubba Kush came in at 205.2g, or 7.32 oz. Very happy with this number! I absolutely love the taste of the Bubba, and it's the exact same taste as the last Bubba I grew. Once again, hats off to Humboldt seeds for having some great genetics.

​​​​​​Even though my other 2 weren't entered in this competition, I'll share the weights here because I showed the harvest pics of them lol.

The Bubba Cheese came in at 178g, or 6.35 oz.

The White Widow CBD came in at 118g, or 4.21 oz.

Total for the harvest is 501.2g, or 17.9 oz. Once again, very happy with this number!

It's been a blast to be a part of this thing. I won't be taking part in the summer grow because from what I have read it's an outdoor or photoperiod grow? If I'm wrong let me know, but that's what I got out of the skimming I did lol.

Everyone grew great plants in this competition! You all are rock stars, and I think everyone learned something through this process.

Here's pics of the Bubba Kush, and then a family portrait.

I also made dry ice hash out of all the trim from these plants. I was not disappointed!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Looks like you've got plenty to keep you busy over the summer. Enjoy your bountiful produce!

 

[Doubledealing72]

Thanks! I've already started lol

 

[oldjarhead100]

very nice .I'm amazed at the weight you got from them for autos thats incredible

The Snowryder came in right on time (+2 weeks)! The Himalaya Blue Diesel is looking to be on time as well (about this time next month)
So many nice looking girls in this thread! I can get lost in the pics,,,,
The Snowryder was not topped, but twisted and tied down

 

[Spidermite]

Very very Nice. I had 6 in the 4x4 tent. Total weight of the tent is a touch over 22 ounces with one plant left to go be harvested. Your per plant average is really awesome my friend.

 

[Spidermite]

Nice job. Looking good all the way around.

Curious? do you always hang with roots?

Or just a convenient hang?

 

[Spidermite]

LurkingInTheGrass how much longer till your harvest? Your buds have had me drooling for awhile now.

 

[Doubledealing72]

Thanks guys, I really appreciate the kind words! I must say I'm a big fan of the quadline technique. I believe it's been the biggest factor in my yields improving.

I have started a Perpetual grow with two grow areas and a multi use germination/drying area. The Idea for my small space (49sqft total) is a couple mother plants, some new seeds from time to time and a three week rotation with 7 to 9 weeks flowering strains.

The biggest challenge is the individual attention each plant needs at a different stage, although they may all be on water night, not all will get the same treatment. I have decided that the flowering tent (12sqft) will be in rotation with only three plants at a time, although I have 4 in it right now do to a hiccup in scheduling for a week and a half fish-cation and the fact that Tahoe OG is a 10+week strain LOL.

Enjoy the pictures.

102 days from germination Tahoe OG

just about two weeks left

Girl Scout Cookies clone, no signs of the Polyploidy trait from its mother.

Fruit cake punch 54 days old 12 days in Flower. She is perfectly spaced with 9 strong tops, I'm pretty proud of this girl so far.

Back of the house shot from a month a go.

Happy growing peeps.

Yes I always hang then this way, (I will be using the roots to make meds for the GF, said to be the best for cancer,,,), old habits!

 

[Spidermite]

Very nice. Beautiful. Keep us updated.
