DV8 Does Dalliance: A Dabbling In Autos

[DV8]

Day 22 (+2dlh)

Adalita (R) Chrissy (L)

Girls looked good this morning. Stretching, praying, superb. Hard to get a good shot.

After topping they looked miserable, like spanked children.

Navigating a grow, adopting a style, gathered from all the great information from other growers over months is a blessing, and a curse.

But Im determined to put it on show, the good, the bad, the ugly.

So down to specifics. In my heart I wanted to grow them out, untouched. After seeing Tralas first Auto, that would be a mistake. So Ive topped both.

The first node growth was really strong on both, still, keeping 4 nodes I decided to shave them, to leave six main growth points.

Im hoping its the right call. Seeing Carcass' results from his girls it should be. As the Autos went in first there is no practice run.

The challenge now is to train them to evenness, no dominant apical growth.

Chrissy is crazy stinky. I can see why the original strain was so popular, if she flowers as funky as shes been in veg Ill be very happy.

Both have just started to shrivel the colytodons, 22 days past emerging is a good sign theyve had their needs met.

They both are gorgeous! I can’t wait to see them flower.

Veg plants can be a bit dull, however these two have stolen my heart. Pleasure to watch them grow.

They look happy today.

 

[Trala]

They look great!

Day 23 (+2 dlh)

Adalita (T)
Chrissy (B)

Girls greeted me praying this morning, which I loved. Adalita lost a fan which she probably wont miss but ruined her symmetry, which rankles my brain.

Last night was the last low temp (2C) for the upcoming 10 days, so they will begin their outdoors lives in earnest from today.

Best wishes for the move to outside Deev. I love this time of year, everything so fresh and filled with promise.

Girls getting their grove on. Its only a guess how long they have left before preflower.

They are definitely getting busy below the soil, lush white root mass.

 

[DV8]

They look great!

Thanks Tra

Cheers Carmen.

It is magic, although we still get some shit weather, like its always a risk till mid/late October.

But its great to come out of Winter, my favourite time of year by a long way.

Girls are on bottom of pot, and did some stretching beyond whats pictured, even in 1 short rainy day.

Showed sex today.

And amazed me with this

I dont think they will be huge, for now the are healthy and growing.

The Great White Mycos have led their step sisters to the bottom of same size pots, reaffirming the value of mycos. Update on photos coming Saturday, they are going great!

I know when I suggested Id use the mycos to @Trala she was a little dubious, but I sure wish I hadnt skipped on these 2.

Getting those roots eating early is a big plus. Next time I guess.

Thanks for stopping in.

 

[Regrowth]

Adalita has got a nice fat bottom.

 

[Trala]

They are already so much bigger than any plant I’ve ever grown at the same age.

Can you add a ratio thingy? Coz in my brain they look HUGE!

Ok. Im 6 ft 2, they come up to my nipples. Huge

 

[Trala]

Ok. Im 6 ft 2, they come up to my nipples. Huge

6ft 2 and your nips you say?!

Yeah nah, I’m still gonna need that scale thingy.

Need more specifics. I knew a guy who’s nipples were up where

 

[Regrowth]

I'm sure the staff are adding underwear to the merch store as we speak.

 

[DV8]

You guys crack me up.

Me: Ill be funny

You lot: Stand back mate, we got hilarity for days.

Thanks for being characters and adding entertainment. I take my growing seriously, but love a good laugh, journals should be funny, at least in parts.

You lot definitely did your part today, Im still chuckling on the re-read.

 

[DV8]

Yeah nah, I’m still gonna need that scale thingy.

Here you go Tra, taken this arvo.

Me: Need something for scale.....

Mrs DV8: I cook with wine, sometimes I even put it in the food....

Me: Yoink

They are 140 pots, same as 2 bigger photoperiod seedling girls.

Day 25 (+ 12 dlh)

Adalita (T)
Chrissy (B)

Nodal growth is getting closer to natural evenness through LST manipulation.

They need new shoes. Ill wait for shed contractors to finish, then Ill re-pot. Flirting with the idea of self watering pots. Ive been experimental so far, figuring wouldn't hurt to continue.

They are quickly closing on on next and final veg feed of BCB veg.

Here are photo girls today.

Good choice. Who needs imperial or metric? You can always measure things in wine bottles for Trala.

There's a whole SIP (Self-Irrigating Planter) thing going on here on 420. @Emilya Green , @Buds Buddy , @Azimuth , among others are having explosive growth with them.
