I’ve noticed over about the last 6 months that 5.5 g/gal MC is a pretty good sweet spot with both my autos and photos.

Hi, Boo!
It really does seem to be the sweet spot for this one...previously, I've automatically started with 6g
when the plant was fully flowering, now I'm wondering if I really needed to...
Although, 5.5g isn't a whole lot less than 6g....But as long as she stays the right shade of green, I'm going to stick with the lower dose- it's a lot easier to fix a hungry plant than to bring one back from nute damage.

Beautiful plant Carcass! I love the doodads, on a skewer or neat...
You did better than me! I looked at my faux-auto for 50 days before concluding something wasn't right.
Me too! Me too!

Thanks, Lando- and welcome to my little journal!
Yeah, lots of doodads in here- and some of them actually work!
At day 44, I figured that size-wise, it had to start flowering soon, auto or not...

Had fun making these tonight, Carcass! It went rather well.
Thank you for sharing your ways!
The bit I tested was delicious, can’t wait to try them out of the chiller!

You're Welcome!
Let me know how they work, buzz wise!
One thing:
I can see a lot of oil separation in that pic (on the purple mold)- this can be avoided by letting the mix cool (thicken) a little, then stirring very well while still in the pan- the thicker mixture keeps the
oil in suspension- Ideally, the mix should have a thick, honey-like consistency when squirted into the molds.
Hi Carcass 
Sorry I fell so far behind, but I'm caught up now. Your SSH is looking awesome!

No worries, Beez! I'm so far behind I feel like a noob
...and thanks for the kind words-that plant is doing way better than I expected- it doesn't do anything as fast as the autos I'm used to, but she's gettin' it done nonetheless...- Thread starter

Mrs.C. was just about out of gummies, so I made up another batch today...nothing special about them, but I decided to check one thing that may make it easier for others to get the oil into the jello without it separating in the molds...This is for @DutchinAB and anyone else who may have had this problem.
I checked the temp of the mixture just as the oil starts to blend in to the jello mixture-this is when you need to stir it in well...at this temp, there will be no oil floating on top after you stir it in- the mixture is now thick enough to hold the oil in suspension.
And for our Canadian (and other) friends:
(sorry for the crappy pics- this is the point where you need to hurry a little,and I was)
So that's all I wanted to mention...well.. there is one more little tip...
Make sure the top on your squirt bottle is screwed on all the way before you start filling the molds...
Or, you just may end up with a helluva mess when the top pops off...oops!
I ate a lot of the stuff that got spilled, and I'm starting to get real stoned right about now....
I hope everyone's having a great Sunday!

That's an excellent way to cleanup spillages and mess, you must be feeling really nice about now! hahaI ate a lot of the stuff that got spilled, and I'm starting to get real stoned right about now....

I will look for this temp and not rush so much next time
I’m happy to report they did their job lol. Neither the canna, or jello taste overpowered the other, and left me giddy for a long part of the night.
Thanks once again, Carcass. Cheers!
Hey Carcass
How long does it take your jellies to take effect?

That's really the only "critical" step...that, and making sure the lid is tight on your squirt bottle...
Great! That's the main thing!
It depends on a few things- on an empty stomach, when you'd expect them to kick in
right away, it takes an hour and a half to two hours- IF you eat something with a lot of fat in it,(bacon,guacamole,etc.) then take a gummy, it takes about 30 minutes- the fat really speeds things up.
This is how it works for me, but it may be different for others.
Just what I need, another reason to eat bacon.That's really the only "critical" step...that, and making sure the lid is tight on your squirt bottle...

That is gorgeous! Nice work!!It wasn't too bad, 4 hours from pot to closet...although when I look at the tiny bit of trimmings, I kind of wonder what took me so long...I think being an old fart might have slowed me down a little...
Well alright then-Harvest time! Here's a few parting shots of the AP auto,which started out as a tiny mutant,but ended up like this:
The final Saugaview®: (that's a Gelat.OGauto bottom right)
And a side view...
A budshot or 2...
double bud
regular bud...
double bud again, before trimming...
I forgot to get any other pics before trimming,so I've just got an "after" pic...
notice the tiny pile of trimmins....doesn't look like 3 hours worth....jeez, I'm slow....
And from there it went into the closet, where it'll live for 5 days or so:
The wet weight is 26oz/728grams, so dry and de-stemmed it should be 20-25% of that...
103 days old, 67 days flowering.
Fed nothing but Mega Crop, with a very little bit of GLN's Bud Explosion and Sweet Candy
added the last 30 days of flowering..it may have helped her a little...or..it was the reason all the big fan leaves fell off in the last 2 weeks- either way,it didn't hurt the buds a bit.!
So that's it for that one,time to start on some more...
I actually got a Gelat.OG auto seed to sprout last week, and, this morning a Pink Kush CBD sprouted,and
so did a ChemDawg#4. !
The ChemDawg (a gift from my son, @13goody13 ) is a photo, so it will be growing outside as soon as it's established, and the autos get the box.
Thanks for looking,and I hope everyone has a great weekend!
But stay safe in the process, please!
Nice tip Carcass! I’m trying to figure out of those are tongue marks on the top of that mold or a hand swipe...Mrs.C. was just about out of gummies, so I made up another batch today...nothing special about them, but I decided to check one thing that may make it easier for others to get the oil into the jello without it separating in the molds...This is for @DutchinAB and anyone else who may have had this problem.

Either way, happy you got stoned and giggly. That’s the best!
