HashGirl's Summer 2021 Recreational Grow

Sorry about the rot but those outside plants are looking terrific! Are you having chilly nights, since VG just reminded me that that can cause that kind of leaf taco shape.

Everything else is looking good except the JH2, which was looking a bit sad on transplant day (listed as 65) and obviously worse now (also listed as day 65 - I'm guessing it's more like day 72?). I would start by upping the MC to 4.5g/gallon and giving it another week to recover from the late transplant.

Most excellent HG! Good luck with your dda’s, it looks to me like you’re doing quite well with autos. That lemon auto looks fantastic. Looking forward to hear a smoke report for that one! Congrats on all the harvests, busy busy busy! What does DSL stand for? I’m sure it’s not what came to my mind..

 

[Carcass]

That's a lot of DDa's, and they all look great so far!
Are you planning on training them all?
If I can do anything to help with that, please let me know!

The temps at night have been in the low teens (Celsius). Felonious has been putting them in the gazebo at night and then shaking the dew off the colas in the morning. Hopefully, this will help prevent bud rot.

I actually think JH2 is looking a little better today (no photo yet) and yes, she's on Day 74 now. JH1 is ready to be flipped to flower but I was hoping I could flip the other 3 plants in the tent at the same time. JH1 is 83 days old, SD is 72 days old and DSL is 48 days old.

Or, I could switch the tents that the DDAs are in and put JH1 in there and temporarily move the DDAs somewhere else since the light doesn't matter so much for them and when the other photos are ready to flip, put JH1 back in there.

Also, if I'm going to flip JH1, she'll need some trimming first so what do you normally take off before flip?

Thanks. I'm planning on topping all of them above the third node as HH did with hers but other than that, I'm not sure. I haven't had a beautiful DDA yet. I'm open to training them but I don't want to ruin them the way I've done in the past. I mean, so far, they've been low yield, small and ugly.

That's what I'm hoping my friends who have grown beautiful DDAs will help me with, i.e. @BooWho2 , @Heavenly Hybrid and @Virgin Ground . And, Carcass, you're important, too as you are definitely an expert on growing autos and at the end of the day, DDAs are autos.

what do you normally take off before flip?

A week before flip I usually lollipop, stripping the bottom third of everything and then taking off the weaker/shorter branches that won't reach the canopy in flower. Three weeks after flip I take any short branches I missed (or that I overestimated their growthability), as well as anything that looks like it's going to be larf. I don't want larf on my plants.
#nolarf

With the post-stretch thinning I do my best to leave as many fan leaves as possible when I take the larf, because the plant will need those during flower.

Highya HG.

I probably missed it but are some of the DDAs you have going from Rifleman or are they all from Sweet Seeds?

Hi VG.

I planted the initial 6 seeds from Rifleman and none came up. I currently have the rest of the seeds in paper towel after soaking for 24 hours. It's been 3 days since then and none have sprouted taproots so I doubt they're viable. I will plant these seeds, too just to see but I doubt anything will come up.

 

[HashGirl]

Good afternoon.

I trimmed the Lemon Auto today. Here are the pics:

And, what are these little seed-shaped plant parts?

 

[InTheShed]

Congrats on the haul HG! 143g is nothing to sneeze at, unless you're allergic to lemons.

Those little bits are bracts (aka calyxes) that grow from where the plant sends out the pistils that indicate it's a female (usually at every node). Amy used to save them apart from the rest of the harvest and smoke them all together! I just knock them into the bags when I cut the buds off the branches at the end of the hang dry.

They're covered in trichomes so don't let them go to waste!

 

[HashGirl]

Thank you, Shed. I am definitely impressed with the yields from these autos. Maybe when Felonious and I have to move to an apartment, autos might be the way to go.

And, thanks for the info on the bract. I just threw them in with the bud so I can't smoke them separately like Amy did.

 

[Grand Daddy Black]

Nice haul, @HashGirl!

 

[Virgin Ground]

I hope that she pairs well with a good book!

 

[HashGirl]

Thanks, GDB and VG. I don't know if I would be able to follow a story if I was high. I have a hard enough time with the computer.

My DDA has made a great come back. Gonna be mostly buds & minimal leaves.

*** Weekly Update ***​

Good afternoon.

The only big news in my garden this week is that I topped DDA2. I also think JH2 is looking much better. Now that my GSC grow is done, I'm planning on moving JH1 and Sour Diesel into flower and maybe JH2 as well. Diesel could use a little longer veg since she's only at Day 54 days old.

Some of the plants grew a lot this week like the Diesel, which gained 6 inches. And, I think the BDs are almost done. I haven't been able to get decent trichome pics as the microscope shows the trichomes against a pink background outside. If anyone has any suggestions to remove the pink, it would be appreciated.

Here are some pics:

BD1 - Day 90 (+59):

BD2 - Day 90 (+59):

CAR - Day 107 (+41):

To be continued...

Group Shot of the Photoperiod Plants:

Do you think I could put them into flower this week? The only one I'm thinking about holding back is DSL as it's not even 60 days old yet. She's in the back right. JH2 is front left and at 80 (?) days old, I want to flip her as well. Let me know if you think she looks like she's recovered enough to flip.

Thanks for following along. Any other comments or suggestions are always welcome.

Comment: you rock my socks

So beautiful HG. While you shouldn’t have favourites JH1 is mine. As far as flipping, I always need to be told by you guys. I have zero idea sorry.

Thank you, Trala. I love JH1 best as well. She reminds me a lot of the Carnival I grew indoors last year in how robust she is.
