BS - May have missed. What happened to your summer Auto grow?
Hey Troy!
At the start of summer I got inspired to order some seeds n see if I could get plants to grow on my back deck that gets at most 6 or 7 hours of light a day! I saw autos and thought ooh that would be fun to try, autos, how hard can it be? (They didn't have autos when I was young and researching growing so I had no clue what I was looking at)
I thought I'd use my old knowledge and see if I could grow lol keep in mind I actually have only done one grow before that and it was when i was 14 or 15 XD
So all these years later I get some dirt n some pots, some seeds n some cheap nutes from the garden center n I give it a go! Error #1 and the only one I had to make to f;*( my whole grow over-started them in a half gallon pot, the same one my plants were in before transplant, and then waited to see roots out of the bottom to transplant!
That's it, I didn't know auto flowers started flowering once the tap root hit the bottom of the pot, so I started them in something small planning on transplanting like any other plant . do your research kids, especially when your looking at something new XD
Anyways they started flowering at s super stretchy (lack of light) 10 inches tall and ended up being 26 inches of stemmy, lanky pineapple express goodness lol
Off of 5 plants I got maybe an ounce :/
Super disappointing
Never got the nutes dialed in-lesson 2 get a f'n nute plan and work with it XD garden nutes are bad for cannabis in my hands lol
And lesson 3 don't use soil-does not have the drainage cannabis needs to thrive:S
And I guess lesson 4, unless you want to roll plants back and forth on a back deck every day for 3 months, get s light n a tent, you'll be better off :/
Lol anyways it was nice to flex the old muscle so to speak, not that I have much experience, but just to see the plant grow and change, I fell in love again over summer <3
The pineapple express I did get was primo tho . insanely crystally and dank, I have a jar of it sitting around just waiting to be turned into hash, it smells like a can of pineapple and dirt when I open it XD fluffy because of the shit lighting, but extremely crystally, like a powder covered tree <3
Lol and now we're here . got a tent, lights, good ol photo beans n I'm a happy camper .
