Cr8grow’s CMXL Auto Grow #7

[ChefDGreen]

Sometimes you have to go to the weed cellar and make a choice…these are the bitty bud remnants deep stash. Cheers

I fucking love this!

I have a backpack with like 8 pint sized jars that have an eighth or less.

Day 6 from sprouts. Lights dropped to 21” and intensity increased to 60%. I noticed I can adjust one light and level, then I can use the shadow line to adjust the second light by sight alone, see how the line is level for both. I’m happy to see temps are up a bit since lowering and increasing light output, tonight 75 and now ranging 63-77 F. RH is 44 tonight, ranging 38-55%. The increased warmth, light and light feed should get their motors revving. I added a small fan low to jiggle them slightly, should have done a day or two sooner. I need some girth to start LST as soon as possible. Pics from tonight…slow but steady so far. Cheers

Great start here cr8. All these early life micro adjustments can seriously shave weeks off of veg in the long run.

Chef, autos are on a steep curve from what I’ve experienced. Spindly starts like these here then, if I’ve set things up right, should be ready for LST same time next week. Conditions are a bit cool but the Viparspecta LEDs are starting to heat day times up to my comfort zone. Looking at a one quart water/nute splash tomorrow, coming off the spray bottle tonight. I will add some molasses carbs to get things kicking. Cheers

Everything lookin good

Day 8 from sprout. Mixed a gallon of nutes PH 6.4 and gave them a big drink, one quart each. I’m going for about 60% strength veg food for these autos. Next water will be a full two gallons, 1/2 gallon each, which will result in some runoff. A slow start, but all are healthy. Happy with temp and RH ranges so far. They are coming out of the seedling phase, into veg this week, they should look different by the end of next week. Cheers

Day 11 from sprout. Starting to see some veg growth. Plants got a full deep water feed today until runoff. May be a week or more before I need to water feed again. Dealt out their name cards tonight. No sign of fungus gnats despite using two organic soil mixes. I will post another update Friday, end of week 2. Looking like LST will start early next week at this pace. Cooler temps with the Viparspectra XS1000 LEDs seem to impact seedling growth a bit, but appears things are picking up rapidly. We will see how the CMXL Auto are taking to their >half strength nutes. I will push more if I can. Pics from today. 4 is my favorite so far. Cheers

The playing cards are cool. You must mean that you have four favourites. I can see four cards in the suit of hearts, but not a four of hearts Maybe you aren’t showing us the four of hearts plant because she’s so special that you can’t bear to share?

Yep, I’m baked…no stealth 4….my 7th grow here…7 Then…I don’t know. Still my favorite. Saw favourites in there…been all over the UK…cheers

❤’s rule for me, too. And heads. Flower heads. ❤’s and heads, then. Same like you

Day 14 from sprout, end of week 2. Pots are heavy since deep water/nutes 3 days ago. Temp 73F, ranging 66-73 and RH 48%, ranging 48-62. Growth is picking up now out of the first week seedling stage and one week into veg. Stems are thickening up, LST will start sometime next week. I’m aiming for 8 primary bud sites for each. Otherwise on autopilot for a few days until pots are light. Pics from today.

Good day, cr8. Your garden looks good so far. What does CMXL stand for? I can find no strain name with just those initials.

Lucky number 7, looks good.
Hope you are well my friend @cr8grow
Do you have a smoke detector in there?
Stay safe.

HashGirl, The seeds are Cream Mandarine XL Auto from Sweet Seeds…love their genetics. Sweet Seeds launch new strains each year and have auto, fast photo and photo versions of many of their strains. The seeds from this grow were from a limited hermie (couple of nanners) that produced about 10 seeds so far. I have 2 more 1/2 jars of CMXL Auto left and hope to find a few more seeds. I am happy when I see a single nanner here and there to give me some seeds for another grow. I ended up with a small quantity of seeds from my second

grow, Corleone Kush, the red wild child…looking forward to another deep indica run with those…flashback pic Corleone Kush. Cheers

What a difference a couple days makes at this point. Day 16 from sprout, definitely will start LST early next week. @ViparSpectra XS1000 LED lights turned up to 100% yesterday and daytime heat now 81F vs 73F with lights at 65%…perfect. Plants are all healthy and no sign of fungus gnats despite my delay in adding Mosquito Bits last deep watering. Cheers

Thanks for stopping by. I have a smoke detector 20 feet away by the furnace plus a C02 detector, but will find a battery operated smoke alarm and install in the cabinet, could save precious minutes. I also have 2 fire extinguishers near by. Thanks for the family safety tip. I will swing by to see what’s growing over yonder. Cheers Bill284

Day 18 from sprout, mid Week 3 update. All looking good, will wait another couple days to start LST. Tomorrow will be next full water/feed, 7 days since last water/nutes. No sign of any issues, temps during the day around 81F. Cheers

Day 21 from sprout, end of Week 3 (5-Nov) plants watered and fed 1/2 gallon each two days ago, should have done one day earlier…some light wilt in the AM, not ideal for the little ones. It is a fine balance watering upfront starting auto seedlings in 5 gallon pots. The pots were still heavy 2 days ago, but long tap roots weren’t yet established deep enough. All good, full recovery and big growth spurt in 2 days. Time to LST…looks promising to train to 8 bud sites each, including the main. I’m clearly behind on LST, mains will be gently bent tomorrow. The new alternative soil test is impressive so far. This is a double test grow, recognizing there may be pheno differences from seed as always. New @ViparSpectra XS1000 LED lights and two organic soil types…my mix vs ready + I add organic silica. These seeds are self pollinated from just a couple nanners my last CMXL Auto grow… love finding a few viable seeds in any grow, a sweet bonus. Would these seeds be considered a backcross? I don’t have much knowledge in the breeding science. I do know self pollinated females will produce female seeds…again, a bonus. The front left plant looks maybe like the only sativa leaner…we will see. The smell already is powerful just this week…a great sign. The front right girl and probably the others are pre-flowering…look closely. The other 3 are definitely fat indica forward with ridiculous leaf width. Temps and humidity steady as usual. The LED lights are impressive so far. Pics from today.
I see the leaf curl on my normal soil mix as overwatered…different water holding properties, will adjust going forwad. Cheers

 

[DonkeyDick]

Steady as she goes. Plain sailing.

Would these seeds be considered a backcross?

They are S1 seeds.

Lucky!

You said you are going to make an adjustment for that claw before it gets bad?
Looking lovely today.
Stay safe.
