Cr8grow’s Original Glue Auto Grow #5 2021

[Bill284]

Today is Day 56, end of week 8 from sprout for the Original Glue Autos. All watered and fed flower nutes, Budswel and cal-mag yesterday. I trimmed off some ugly leaves on the one with issues and also the spent fan leaves. The one Glue in the back right corner has really thin buds with small calyxes, not sure how much it will bulk up in the next 2-3 weeks. The CMXL auto back up front right is fading and turning purple...super frosty. Pics are from today.

Girls are looking great my friend.
A lot of people remove fan leaves, its popular.
My method is very different. After I lollipop pop my girls I don't touch their leaves. Literally.
If I had an issue that manifested on the leaves I leave them.
I don't touch them. If I pulled a leaf the issue would just move to another one thus perpetuating the issue. So I don't touch them. People remove fans blocking a bud site. Its popular. I just let my girls ripen all the buds fill and are covered in trichomes. Mixed in with other buds, you can't tell them apart.
Just my two cents my friend. Your ladies look Fantastic.

Bill284, I generally don’t pull fans until totally spent. I probably should have left the spotted uglies on the one plant in hindsight. I agree my lower buds are the same quality as the upper buds, just smaller. Apples grow all over the tree and many are totally shaded...they all look and taste alike.

 

[cr8grow]

That scraggly plant...hash...joints...oil..I don’t know. I know I cant wait 4+ more weeks for that freak to fill out. Update end of week 9 tomorrow.

Today is Day 63, end of week 9 from sprout for the Original Glue Autos. All watered and fed flower nutes, Budswel and cal-mag yesterday, 6 days since last water/feed. Not sure the straggly Glue front left will fill much more in the next 1-2 weeks, but calyxes are starting to swell. The other 2 Glues are swelling up nicely, including the ugly plant right rear. Nirvana says 10 weeks for the Glues, will scope a bit this weekend. The CMXL back left corner continues to bulk up...it will yield over 2 ozs for sure. It is probably ready now, but I need to harvest all together as my cabinet is also used to dry and cure. Next grow will be the Weed Seeds Express GSG photo fem comparison grow...looking forward to another photo grow after 3 Auto grows back to back.

 

[LizardMate]

Startin to fill out very nicely man

Startin to fill out very nicely man

LizardMate...yeah, all but the stringy freak. I think that will be a fluffy jar of calyxes for joints or maybe capsules. I dropped by your first grow link and will catch up soon...looking good over there.

Mid week 10 update. Watered and fed all today. Scope indicates some clear and many cloudy...very little amber. Looks like chop in about a week. No idea about the thin tall calyx plant...kind of like a Dr. Grinspoon...just long stems and fattening calyxes. I’m thinking about trimming carefully and having a big jar full of cured calyxes for joints. The other 2 Glues are filling nicely, even the really ugly one...which will be just fine. All are consuming the last bit of N from the fans. My plants are like salmon running upstream to spawn...really fuggly at the end, but they get the job done. Pics are from today.

 

[CigNv]

Yeah, sometimes they just do weird things like that. The rest look like they are staking pretty nice though. Great job!

Looks like plant of the month to me.

Today is Day 70, end of week 10 from sprout for the Original Glue Autos. Scope shots of upper calyxes are mostly cloudy, some still clear and little amber. I will scope again this weekend, but chop is likely early to late next week. Nirvana says 10 weeks from sprout...pretty close. The lanky one will get a trim, dry and cure...may be a bag of calyxes for joints, maybe turn into capsules or hash...we will see. That is a weird pheno. I will try the joint stash approach first. The CMXL is purple all the way...love those genetics...from my seeds on a limited find from my CMXL Auto grow. Pics are from today.

 

[CigNv]

Awesome job Cr8, they are so close and looking fantastic. Bummer on the lanky one, but it happens from time to time, just an odd genetic mix. The Blue Dream I had like that a while ago still smoked great. I can see you getting some nice calyx blunts and some decent bubble hash from her. Looking forward to see you running some GSC again!

 

[cr8grow]

CigNv, Thanks man...I can’t imagine running 48 plants, respect. I plan to drop the GSC seeds on chop day sometime next week, 6 to hopefully assure 4 sprout for the comparative grow.

Today is Day 74, mid week 11 from sprout for the Original Glue Autos. Scope shots yesterday showed solid cloudy with some minor amber on the upper calyxes. Decided to chop all today, now hanging in my all in one cabinet to dry. I did a little wet trim on dry fans or those that fell off easily. This grow was really super stinky...blew out my 4” filter which I installed new for this grow. I will install a new filter and back to the veg light for the upcoming Weed Seeds Express GSC comparative grow. The plants will dry for around 5 days, then trim and into glass jars for the initial cure down to about 63-65% RH...I go into longer term cure jars until 59%. Total dry bud yield will be impacted by the one stringy lanky Glue plant...like beads on a string. However the CMXL auto more than carried its weight as a late back up...the buds are all hand grenades of purple goodness. Pics are from yesterday and today. The other 2 Glues have fat frosty buds, but will be a long trim session.

 

[dick23rk]

Congrats on the harvests!! You'll have some wonderful variety to choose from once done. Good job. Can't wait to hear the dry weights and see the finished product.

Congrats Cr8. Looks like the others more than made up for the one lanky one. CMXL sure does look like a winner.

Long over due Drive-by


Congrats on the harvest

 

[MrSauga]

Congrats on the harvest cr8! Great looking colas hanging there.

@dick23rk @Bill284 @CigNv @Norcaliwood @MrSauga ....Thanks for stopping by.

Time for Grow #5 yield and ending update. This is actually my lowest yield, auto or fem photoperiod grow, so far. I had germination issues with Original Glue Autos, 3 of 5 germinated successfully. I dropped in a CMXL Auto as back up since it fully finishes in 9-10 weeks from sprout. The CMXL initial hang/dry was 5 days and 8-10 days for 3 O. Glues, then into large glass jars for initial burp/cure. Yesterday, May 20th, I weighed all and packed into 1/2 oz. per jar. One of the 3 O. Glue plants was a wispy freak pheno with beads of calyxes, no real buds. We tried to trim but ended up washing the whole plant for hash...it was creamy primo...effects are intense and somewhat psychedelic.

So from 3 plants final yield was: 1 CMXL 54 grams (1.93 oz.); 2 Original Glue 79 grams total (2.82 oz.)...grow total 133 grams (4.75 oz.). I also have a big bag of trim for another hash wash. The CMXL is very fruity/skunky and has a lot of purple. The O. Glue terpenes are not yet as pronounced...will improve with longer cure time. The Glue tester yesterday was powerful and stimulating, with some euphoria and a very relaxing indica finish. After 3 auto grows I’m going photoperiod next to have more control through veg. Now onto the Weed Seeds Express GSC fem photo comparative grow.

Awesome my friend.
Great work.
Looking forward to your GSC grow.
