Great looking plants, sunny!
Mahalo my Braddah!
@13goody13 I appreciate you stopping in and the kind words! Carcass ohana is always welcome here! Hope all is blessed my braddah!
Yes there’s a lot of terrific people here, to bad the world as a whole can’t live with our sensibilities
No doubt Penny! I suppose we are all lucky here to have this plant in common. It truly is medicinal not only from a consumption point of view but mentally and emotionally for me. I always have this deep sense of calm when checking on my plants.
I hope you are having a wonderful day Penny! Your presence around this forum and the experience you share never goes unnoticed. Mahalo!
Check out my journal, I repotted my plants and one isn’t doing well. Is there anything I can do?
Aloha Sam! Post up a link here so we can see what’s happening! lots of knowledge and accomplished growers here that can and would be happy to help!
This is what I'm thinking (trouble I know)
Ha! Cut from the same cloth my Braddah! I swear I can say the same thing to myself and my lady will be rolling her eyes at me in her sleep
I have a new 3' x 3' x 72" tall tent coming in a few days as well as nine (9) three gallon fabric pots. I'm kicking around the idea of putting an autoflower seed into each of the 9 pots and see if I can grow them in that new 3x3 tent. I have a few strains in my collection that I have enough to grow all 9 of the same strain which I am guessing would help keep the canopy similar in height?
Do you think 9 plants in a 9 sq ft area is too many? I really want to learn how to train autos but fear doing that with 9 plants would make them too wide and cause problems. I was thinking about topping the plants at the 5th node and removing everything below the 4th node and trying to grow just four mains on each plant. And if it looks like there will be room keep a few side branches here and there.
This is a great thread to ask in as there are some proficient auto growers here. I was hoping to purchase some Mephisto auto seeds for this grow but that doesn't appear as though it's going to happen. They appear to be sold out anywhere I would feel comfortable buying seeds. So I'll run with what I have on hand.
Aloha Beez! Well me being the positive devil I am I’d say it is possible! Then again I’m also the “throw caution into the wind” guy and the phrase “oh shit” is used fairly frequently in most of my hair brained endeavors.
My tent is 43” long by 24” wide and 60ish tall and I stuffed 8 plants in there. Please keep in mind as I am always tinkering and learning in my little grow and everything I do is based around environment and the climate I live in. Braddah
@Preston9mm (Mahalo for chiming in Braddah) touched on this subject of RH in his post below so this is how I get my current setup to work.
Pruning, defoliating, and keeping air moving is key in my humid climate and little grow space. I run my lights full blast from sprout to harvest on a 18/6 schedule. I don’t adjust the lights at all so hence my emphasis on training lol.. Plus the little clicking height adjusters you get with your light drive me effing insane man.
The ballasts and the heat above my lights along with a small dehumidifier at pot level helps keep my RH in check. My exhaust fan is also running full speed and I’m also bringing in fresh air from outside my house with a small computer fan. I think I have found balance but I’m still tinkering. I also keep the the floor of the tent dry so this means watering/feeding the plants outside the tent and allowing the cloth pot to soak up any extra water before plants go back into the tent. This also helps control my RH a lot.
The biggest thing I have learned so far after growing autos(currently my 3rd try at them) is
Timing. Topping, training, feeding them is all timing. They grow rapidly so reading your plants and getting your timing right with what they want and need is key.
If this is your own seed stock how big were the parents?
@beez0404 Prolly can guesstimate from that and get a idea of how crowded it’s gonna be with 9 plants. I didn’t know what I’d be dealing with with the 8 plants but I was willing to try anyway (I know.. Mr. optimism) and roll with it. I’m gonna run another 8 autos after these finish up and save my photo grow for over the holidays.
Sunny...so uniform for 5 different strains. I cure in my grow cabinet so all get chopped together, nice you can chop when each is ready and spread out the trim. Looks great.
Mahalo cr8! I put a lot of emphasis on training the plants down so that helps a lot with my canopy. I do my initial drying of the branches in my grow tent as well before clipping the buds of the stems and putting them into paper bags for a couple days depending on the bud density before the final cure in jars. It’s the best balance I could find with my climate here. Your girls are moving right along! I hope you are having a wonderful day my Braddah!
Having a good browse and just love this. My first grow was a dope seeds blueberry auto and she looked beaut on the fade but this girl is on another level. That purple flower just looks amazing. Hope you enjoyed the smoke too. Mine kicks my arse if I'm not careful. Still got a bit left.
Aloha Vet! Mahalo on the compliment my Braddah. Yes the purple blueberry auto from dope Seeds was awesome! I’ve got a few nugs left stashed. It’s appearance always get the same reaction when people see it. Just beautiful and I’m a sucker for purple weed lol
I got a few snaps of some buds. Be right back in another post! My apologies for such a long winded post! My legs have officially fallen asleep on the toilet.
I'll have to go back and see how you achieved such nice looking autos.
