The Scarlet family album

[Going2fast]

35 days is normal for an auto to really start flowering. Decreased light duration will result in more airy and less potent buds. If you compare to a photo the extra month removed is the payoff. People I know who have run autos with their photos say this but they do it for the seventh inning stretch bud as they call it.

Ain't heard that before. More light for better bud? Why have I not heard that? I've heard of 12/12 from seed. Not great production but still a something.
The S. family I've been growing have been short plants compared to the fem'd I've grown but have had as good or better weight with my personal top shelf bud and resin. Plant size-wise, I don't think they could produce any more. Potency, well, that always gets my attention.
Y'all got me considering maybe 8/16. Maybe 10/14. When the temperature starts rising in the coming months, it will definitely be 12/12. My light is a hot light.

I am on the top floor. Directly above me are solar panels. If I can steal a decent battery, I am going to drill a hole and hook up to them.

 

[Gingerbeard]

I mean available. If I can find an available battery.

Day 66

The stretch is done, Galaxy wound up taller than sunset. Not much happening except for the flowers starting to fatten up. Waiting, waiting, waiting.

4 weeks. Flipped last night. The buds are as or more developed than I usually have. The plants are a few inches short of being my maximum height for feminized vegetation. If I get the same amount of stretch, the plants will be full size for my tent. I've only removed the soil sitter leaves. The more I grow, the less work I seem to do.

Do you have grass growing in your soil? Lawn grass looks like? I hope you thin out some of those whispy branches make it less prone to sweating leaves.

 

[Gingerbeard]

It was grass in my grass. Weed in my weed.

Day 70 of the scarlets

Not an old pix. Just waiting it out for them to finish.

 

[SoOrbudgal]

Those look great Ckbrew boring now huh? LOL well they won't be hard to trim and they smell wonderful i bet.

 

[Ckbrew]

A little boring SoOrbudgal , there is not much change from day to day except for the stacking up. Looking to get to the harvest.

 

[Going2fast]

That's what I love about them.

5 weeks. Until yesterday I'd been getting at least 1" of growth per 24 hours.
Did a bunch of trimming of the lowers. Looks like there are a lot of small flowers trying to be popcorn kernel nugs. I'll do another something-something in a week.
The mains on the front two were getting too tall. They were perfect distance but the lower branches were about 3" shorter. They got bent and gave me another few inches for growth.
Can't say there's much of a smell.

[Bluey]

That is looking most promising.

I'm in two minds about doing something something with popcorn and the lowly buds. I've been smoking those the last 5 weeks and they have been really crap..shit stuff, until now. They have come on in a really good way and now I'm having trouble finishing a whole joint...and I've almost fallen over twice...

If I was in a big bud competition I'd cull them but if given a proper cure I reckon they are good value.

Harvest is approaching, but still needs more time. A recap.
