Sorry about the only one pic earlier Bode, so I thought I would make it up to you while you sleep...
Saturday night update so let's dive in. First up is the Ruby Tuesday auto on day 31 that you got a glimpse of earlier:
SaugaView®:
Every node is being trained one way or another. The top 4 are being kept flat and the bottom one has been tied upward in the middle. It's the only node not fully in flower.
Speaking of flowers, here's one starting to stack:
And the one I posted earlier:
I started training on the Queen G auto today (day 28):
The top three nodes have been laid out while I wait for the lower two to catch up.
And finally, it was transplant day for the QGa2, on day 19:
The roots held together even though it's much less rooty than my usual upcan timing:
I put it in a plastic pot that's probably just under 3 gallons:
This one will live outside on most sunny days and hang out with its brethren in tent the rest of the time:
QGa on the left is around 35,000 lux, QGa2 is just under 30, and RTa is about 40. I bumped the watts to 190 and raised it up to get better spread and penetration.
That's it from me tonight. My son made it back safely and is isolating in the garage for the next couple of days while we wait to see if he tests positive. As for me, I've still got a couple more hours of painting and then the adulting of my daughter's room will be finished. Phewf...
Happy Sunday!
Quotes:
Very likely! As long as they make it back after the 1st to vote in the year end
contests, I'm good.
I topped RTa on Dec 6th, which was day 20. I left node 1 on and it has 5 nodes, as does QGa (they're much tighter) after losing the 1st node
here.
Indeed. It works for bugs and PM in veg, but I don't use it in flower.
Thanks NTH, and nice to have you stop by!
I'm following the wisdom of folks who grow autos better than I ever have, so I can blame them it anything goes sideways. So far so good though.
Things tend to get busy whenever Nick has too much time on his hands (he must need another tent!), and no photos seeds will be dropped for months.
Always good to hear, thanks Otter!
Hope the nap was refreshing, and RTa is definitely feeling the flower power.
LOL you said it sb!
Indeedee doo! But better to grow autos than be bored with my own grow, yes?
Uh doubtful! I think we'll just keep muddling through and wondering how Jon and LKA and Justin and Boo and Carcass and VG (et al.) manage to do it.
Thanks Otter, and if not for the Stones would we even be talking about it?
Thanks Carmen, and as long as he's in the garage he's maskless. When he needs to come in the house he'll mask up.
Thank you GDB! Already a bit of stacking going on so what could be bad.
Dunno about which states have the most cases but it's definitely still a thing all over. I know two folks in London with it!
You bet your sweet bippy!
Thanks con! Day count is listed in the pics, but to save you from having to scroll back up: RTa is day 31 and QGa is day 28.
Historically that was true for mine so I must be one of those people!
I'm thinking that this is going to be a feel-good story rather than a let down...
Oh Goody, I was right!
I have no expectations when it comes to autos, so the only one who might be disappointed with the harvest is the breeder.
Those autos all looked to be about the same size, so there's consistency in the untrained plant. Not something I would do but as long as he was happy!
I hope that post did the trick, and thanks for craving pics Bode!
