Hey fellow growers!!!!
Hope January is going ok for all of you. My deepest sympathies for all the American growers at this time in your countries history😔
it’s been a while since I’ve updated as my grow went completely off the rails, and has kept me a lot busier than I expected.
First problem was that I trusted the breeders size expectations, and planted my first run of Autos accordingly, in a SOG set up, with my buckets almost touching one another. By 5 weeks from germination, it was becoming quite obvious that I was going to have a crowding issue. I started defoliating every couple of days to keep adequate air flow. By 7 weeks, I had moved all my fans(4) to blow under the canopy to keep the branches from sitting on one another. The following week, I started removing lower branches....
Not ideal, I know. It was either this, or start removing plants altogether. I was terrified of WPM developing, that I wouldn’t be able to effectively treat in the cramped conditions.
Well, they’re starting to finish now... all at different times which is truly a blessing. I’ve taken down a few of the AK’s, but the critical mass are still actively growing new pistils, and not a single one has turned red yet, so really no idea when they’ll finish. If I believed the breeder😂😂😂 they’ll be done in 2 weeks, but that’s definitely not happening. I would love to get some individual plants out of their places to get some better pics for you, but the room is a sea of yo yo’s now, and I can’t breathe on them without a branch falling over. I promise some good pics at harvest. Will also make a separate post of my mutants, of which there were a few 😂
