Thanks, con!
.like tiny seeds...Thanks, T!
Great harvest!Thanks, con!
If you mean those little calyx thingies, they taste like hash, with a similar effect...some of them pop when you smoke them...
Thanks, T!
I can have one soaking in ten minutes....
.
Thank you,Son! it started with a great seed...
Now that you mention it, I haven't had a runt auto since I started with both of those..
Yeah- those are the fattest seeds ever....hard to pick a "good" one when they're all fatties..
I know, right?
I read you are using Grow Dots in the SIP. I used grow dots in 5 gal cloth pots with soil in my last Auto run. They kicked ass until about week 7-8, then I got what I now understand to be calcium deficiency. The buds produced were quite good, but the leaves were all rusty and dried up by harvest time.Thank you,Son! it started with a great seed...

I can def help you out with the Dots- I've grown 5 plants in the SIP with the Dots, and I think I've got them figured out..
Huge outcome for that auto! Looking frostily delicious!Eight days after she went in, The Alaskan Bananaberry x Wizard auto is coming
out of the drying box...she looks a little skinnier, no?
She should get the job done just fine...
same cola, farther down..
45 minutes later- a pan o buds in the sun..
That pan o buds weighs 293g/10.4oz. (zeroed for the pan)- she'll lose a bit during the cure, so I'll just call it 9.5oz.....best yielding auto I've grown so far (Thanks @Justin Goody)
Here's her new home- she'll get burped daily till she gets down to 62, and stays there...
Then I'll seal her up for a month or so...
But, there's no way I'm waiting a month to smoke any of it, so I set some aside...
It actually tastes pretty good pre-cure, so I may need quite a bit...
While I had all the stems laying there, I decided to harvest these little goodies- these are the calyx' that grow out of the main stem at the branch junction ...
Iirc, @Amy Gardnerused to save these at harvest time for a little "special" smoke...
And that's it for that one-
She was a fun one to grow..
..and she'll be even more fun to smoke!
Thank you for looking, and for your support...
I'll see you next time
That is really helpful! I didn't quite understand the 60 day efficacy thing, even though GDB had been talking about it. At least I didn't know how to manage with it. I think the Grow Dots really did something to get my plants going strong initially so I'd like to try using them again. It makes sense to begin supplemental feeding and calmag around that time to solve the problem.I can def help you out with the Dots- I've grown 5 plants in the SIP with the Dots, and I think I've got them figured out..
Initially, I didn't know the Dots would crap out on apx. day 60, so the first plant I grew with them came out looking pretty rough...
Then, I decided to start her on her "finishing nutes" on day 60...which worked better, but it still allowed some leaf yellowing, and other signs of being hungry before I began the RxBlend nutes..
So, (and this has worked great on the last two plants) 50 days from activating the Dots, I start gradually adding other nutes, so, by day 60, she's living on the "new" nutes, and the Dots don't figure into it anymore.
I add a little calmag whether she's asking for it or not- I want it there when/if she needs it..
I also use HP ProMix, so I haven't pH'd anything for 5 years or so..the ProMix also wicks the water perfectly in the SIP...
You wouldn't think there'd be much difference in how soils wick water, but the locally made soil I bought for my outdoor SIP didn't wick worth a shit...
This grow, I'm going to try the extended version of the Grow Dots- the Standard ones are (allegedly)
good for 6 weeks veg/10 weeks bloom, the Extended are(once again, allegedly) good for 10 weeks veg/10 weeks bloom- I may wait till day 60 to start the other nutes with these, but I'm sure I'm going to need them, just maybe not quite as soon...
The Standard ones are 16-8-11, Extended are 16-8-10, so there's not much difference in the nutrients, they must just release more slowly into the soil, or the Dots are bigger,or something like that..
Good Luck with the Dots!
The not having to feed your
plants for the first 50 days makes them worth using
Thank you, Stone!
Mine is soaking as we speak...almost time to fire up the ugly little seedling chamber...
Great!- hey, any other questions, don't be afraid to ask
It does- it looks dry, but if you lay your hand on it, you can feel the dampness....
)
Omg toooooo soon!..almost time to fire up the ugly little seedling chamber...
Good morning C Monster!Ha!- I'm not talking about the box- I'm talking about the genuinely ugly seedling chamber...
This thing:
Ugly as sin, but works like a charm..I don't plug it in till the seedling sprouts- till then , the swick part sits on the stove- that 9watt led supplies 22k lux to the seedling- sounds like a lot, but they love it and they don't get "leggy"...
pretty darn ugly, though
Thems fighting words! But then you already knew that.
nothing like a bonus, hopefully the upside down auto don't get stuntedI've been watching the Forbidden Fruit carcass for about 3 weeks now, and this morning I decided to harvest the larf, which has grown a bit since harvest- unfortunately, this is an "after" pic, I didn't get one before I started....
Got about 3.5 oz of very fuzzy larf..
They're not pretty, but it's all for kief, so ugly is fine...
I tried, but I just couldn't let this stuff go to waste..
I'm surprised everything's not amber- she's been baking in the sun with no water for 3 weeks, but there's mostly cloudy trichs on a lot of these little nuggies...
A bit o amber on this one...
So now I'll let it get real dry and harvest some kief....
Seedling news:
The Queen G. auto came up root first, so I had to turn her over...hopefully, I'll see her smiling face tomorrow morning!
Thanks for looking!
