Boo’s Perpetual Grow Journal

[BooWho2]

Your plants look like my legs! Hey Boo...did you have any issues uploading your photos this morning?

I don’t believe I did. Why…..did I upload something accidentally?

 

[copperrein]

No, I've just been fighting to upload mine....prolly the weather. Apologies!

No apologies needed. It's good to have someone to double check with!

Those look Boise to me, but I wouldn't dump them quite yet!

You uh...must be avoiding my outdoor journal

I must be, which is how I can say that I've never seen it!

Absolutely not! I want to see how this plays out!

The next round of autos.

more plants!

 

[BooWho2]

more plants!

Yep! I've got a little CBD auto in there too, thanks to @Carcass. CBD (non sponsor), Amnesia Auto and White Widow auto from Dope Seeds - another thank you to @Carcass for the White Widow seed! , and finally we have Blow Dream auto from Victory Seeds. I'm excited to grow another seed from this breeder. My plan is for the CBD and Amnesia to be outdoors with the Blow Dream and White Widow in the tent under the Atreums. We shall see how that evolves.

 

[Carcass]

You're more than welcome, Boo!
I hope they do well for you!
I think @Justin Goody has grown one of those CBD's, so he might be able to tell you
what to expect from it- and I'll be watching the WWa- one of those is next on my agenda!

 

[Stunger]

DUDES?

Great nodes shots, the gender structures do look like they could pass as dudes at this point.

The next 4 autos I drop won't be Dark Devil. Therefore, do you have any tips for me on how to get good yields from autos?

I have scant experience with autos myself, but for what it's worth I was impressed with this post by @Apoc here, if that's any help.

Impressive post for sure, but what's sauce for the goose is not necessarily sauce for the gander. You have to sort through that for the bits that make sense generally (don't up-pot) and the bits that are certainly not for everyone. Like this:
6 Gram Mega Crop
1 Gram MC Bloom Booster (when in flower)
PH up or down to 6.3 to 6.5 ph
4 drops Superthrive (Prevents deficiencies)
3 milliliter Cal Mag

6g MC and 1g Bloom Booster + 3ml cal mag? For everyone growing autos? Bet most folks end up with a lot of toasted leaves with that mix.

Or this:
one 250w Samsung LED and one 100W Mars Hydro

What?

So much of that is specific to what he's doing, so I don't recommend it as a How-To for everyone growing autos.

Cheers Shed, your comments are no doubt on the ball, but as I am not an indoor grower and I don't use bottled nutes, so much of his approach is beyond me altho the results are certainly impressive - made me want to save it! Hopefully there's something to glean from it.

There is loads to glean from it! And he's at his best when he says things like "I start LST when they reach 6th node and I top the plant" and "I wouldn't go above 60k without adding cal/mag and even then I'd watch for light burn." I think that turning it into a step-by-step instruction manual is where he (and folks taking notes) runs into trouble.

Hi HG! I am far from an expert but I would say that topping and tying them down has worked very well for me. I've been pretty exclusively using ProMix HP soil along with MC and so far so good. I have topped them at the first sign of preflower and started training as soon as I could after that. One thing that @MrSauga taught me is to start feeding them MC 1g per gal after the 2nd set of true leaves is in, 1.5 g/gal MC when the 3rd set of leaves are in and 2 g/gal when the 4th set arrive and then hold there until flowering starts (if you get a chance!). I mix the nutes in a 1/2 gal container and fill a condiment bottle with it so I can easily make a circle around the very edge of the cup. MrS said the stem doesn't like getting liquids on it in the seedling stage so just go around the very outside of the cup...like putting caramel topping on a fancy coffee. I also have adapted to starting seeds by soaking overnight to sink in the glass, giving them a thump if they haven't sunk and if they sink when I thump them then they go straight into a solo cup with soil and under a low light to germinate. That system is so much easier than the paper towel method and I've had great success with it. Hope that's helpful.

Amnesia Auto is one of the autos I'll be growing.

There are several of us who will be growing Amnesia - Heavenly Hybrid, Carcass, you, and me! Probably more that I don't know about too!

Happy Friday Eve all! I think these two Purple Skunk Mass/Grape Krush look like ladies....?

I have one PSM/GK that is keeping it's secret. That makes what appears to be 4 Grape Krush + 1 PSM/GK potential dudes, 2 PSM/GK ladies potentially, and one PSM/GK gender neutral so far...

 

[Stunger]

Fingers crossed for you Boo!

 

[BooWho2]

Fingers crossed for you Boo!

Thanks Stunger. I have to admit that I was originally a little worried that they would all be ladies, and then when all I started to see was balls I got worried I’d have all dudes. 2-3 ladies works just fine for me (if my eyes aren’t deceiving me).

 

[Carcass]

Happy Friday Eve all!

Or maybe Thursday, but who's counting?
Not sure about those 2 yet, I don't see her lady parts quite yet- but I don't see boy parts either...

I would guess since you have balls on the other one, that the remaining ones are then more possibly girls, but there's not a lot to be seen so far, something is beginning to show behind the upper stipule on the second pic but it's still a bit early to call at this stage. Hopefully you get females!
