Ah yes the old parquet scare that slowed us down for about a week back in the 70s then it was right back to smoking, we were crazy back then!I am hoping the best for you all lades.
I remember the Paraquat scare from back then. Some of the 70's and 80's are a bit fuzzy for some strange reason
It's all good man. We're healthy. A little rootbound since the only place I ever go is the damn dispensary so I can get my overly dried, little smell left, machine trimmed garbage for 40-50/eighth. Lmao!
Good eye, Jon!
Thanks man! That is the approach I figured I would take in the auto tent which begins shortly. I have five plants in three gallon pots in my 5x5. I figure that gives them each the space to do their thing and still have plenty of space to play without choking one another. Can't tell the girth of that fellah you grew but it appears that I could fit five like that in my tent, yes? Does this sound like a logical approach? I've never grown autos so I wanna kind of see what they do with minimal training, although I will tie down branches and I think I am going to train the center stem from the beginning to go in a spiral around the pot and do my best to create a "canopy" of sorts out of each plant before they start budding. I figure I have around a month to play with them or so. Also wondering, do autos stretch in the same way as photoperiod plants? I appreciate your experience, man, and thanks for the help.
20c is best for most black and white developers!
Yes, Jon, 5 of those would have easily fit in a 5x5.
Wow thats awesome.Yes, Jon, 5 of those would have easily fit in a 5x5.
How much "stretch" you get depends on the strain. Of course, you don't have much control of that with autos. They are going to grow as tall as they "want" to and then flower.
Most autos stay fairly short, but some can get kind of tall. It's always good to check the breeders description of max. grow height and try to plan accordingly.
I failed to do that once and grew a Chocolate Skunk auto that grew to nearly 4 feet tall. It caught me totally unprepared and near the end she was falling all over herself.
Here's a pic (note how she is towering over her auto tent mates of roughly the same age).
Yep, that's exactly my only concern. However, I have done the research you suggested, and the strains I'm growing all finish in the same time frame and in theory all grow to around the same height. Cinderella Jack, Gorilla Zkittlez, and Pineapple Express are the auto strains. Supposedly they all get to about 3 1/2 feet and all finish in around 10 weeks from seed, the GZ being potentially earlier by a week. But from what I've seen it appears that will be close enough to harvest all five plants at one time, which is a necessity for me unfortunately. I have nowhere to dry the plants except in the tent they grew in due to odors offending others with whom I live. I did that my first grow and it worked spectacularly - I just pulled the netting up to around five feet, taped it in place at the corners, and hung my buds from the trellis to dry, which gave me plenty of room to have rotating air underneath that wasn't blowing directly on the buds. I just kept it dark of course but ran the AC, the intake fan, and the filter/exhaust fan during the dry. That kept it nice and cool and kept the humidity as low as I am capable of making it, as well as the all important masking the odor. Heh. The numbers for the dry on that first grow were around 62 degrees and 38% humidity, which worked very well. A 5000 btu window AC unit can crush a 5x5 if you let it fly on high cool. I did that for the last two weeks or so of budding, at a slightly higher temperature, but let it go as low as I could at night to try and draw the girl's colors out, which also worked pretty well. Couldn't get to 58 degrees, but 62 was pretty close. Lmao.Yes, Jon, 5 of those would have easily fit in a 5x5.

Green Crack is my go-to when I have a lot to accomplish. Motivation kicks in within 60 seconds and I'm a whirling dervish of energy, great for those wake 'n bake mornings!
Awesome bro !
It does doesn’t itI thought maybe a hermaphrodite almost positive first pic is a pistil ?
So sweet , that's why we all working so hardHello my good people
I have nothing to report
So here's a sample from each tent.
You'll know whichs which
roughly 1/4 to 1/3 of the wet weight is where you'll most likely weigh out on your dry budHey guys hello
Few things,
A. Tent 2 - buds are smaller then tent 1 was that stage, orange hairs too.
My hunch tells me It can't be only the lights. Tho ferts are the same, even bigger pots in tent 2. 3gal vs 5gal pots.
Your thoughts? See pics sorry for blurp, they're healthy and no bugs.
B. Tent 1 Has 2 girls, if you don't follow closely now you know
B1. This is the big cola on the one on the left. Biggest yet for me.
Look at it, am I wrong to think it getting bigger and not yet ripening?
B2. This is the most developed Cole on the girl on the right. (took me some samples
I need your opinion - I tried to get the real colors here - what do you think of it and how long do you think it might have. BTW if I Relie on the sample, that one should wight around 25 garms wet, how it should wight dry and ready?
THANK YOU!
C. I took a short video inside tent one if you'd like to see.
Thank you and have a great weekend
tbh, the samples I took was a DAM good smoke.. I mean high. cemented me to the bad just right lol
