JM26 Presents CKS AutoFem Train Wreck: The First Adventure

[JM26]

Just a peek inside. The leaves looked so cool I had to snap a shot. Today's day 42. Girls are getting close to needing a liter a day. I'm guessing by next week they'll be wanting that at the least. Cheers everyone.

Looking spot on!!!
Nice.

 

[TimmyHaHa]

They sure are starting to drink, aren't they?! Must all be going to bud production! Whoppee!

 

[JM26]

My guts telling me I should give the girls a haircut but I wanted to run it by here first.

On Fiona, it looks like there's 6 leaves I should trim away. Here's 3 from one side, highlighted, with the other three being on the other side of the plant.

Then on Bertha i think there is probably 8 leaves to get rid of.

Should I listen to my gut and clean these babies up tonight? Is it okay to do it all at once or should I spread it out over two days? I'd think it's like a band aid - get it over with. It's day 44. I think the stretch is close to over and flower is about to kick in.

Not much to update, although I did trim up Bertha a bit. If she takes to it well, I'll give Fiona the same treatment.

They look good..what i will say about trrimming is if its blocking light to any buds cut the leaf..remember you want to grow buds not leaves right..so take it slow little at a time.

 

[JM26]

Right on. That's a very good point. Many thanks.

So like I was saying the other day, I trimmed up one of the girls and I've wanted to do something to commemorate this first grow.

Maybe none of you care, but nevertheless, after work I decided to make this for myself.

Will look nice on my wall.

I love it! What a great way to commemorate the grow!!

Your girls are looking great! Keep up the great work!

I have 5 tw beans left so I went ahead and soaked 4 over night. Germinating the new ones. Going with two per smart pot. Probabaly going to set up the other light somewhere and leave it on 24/7 for the first 2-3 weeks.

That's awesome! Wish I would've done something like this!

 

[JM26]

So when I went to put the seeds in their bath, one of them instantly sank to the bottom. I figured it was a bad bean. I have four seeds, all showing tap roots. Gonna let them stretch a more over night and get them planted tomorrow.

Edit: here's a quick b&w photo. Buds are starting to develop.

So there was a mechanical issue with the plane/truck delivering my smart pots. They were supposed to be here Tuesday and they still haven't made it here. Unfortunately, I gave the new girls a bath a few days ago, and they're more than ready to be buried. I didn't want to use solo's, but I'm going to. So the baby beans went into their temporary homes today, which happens to be the start of week 7 for their big sisters.

I'm gonna leave them under there, with lights running 24/7, for about 2-3 weeks. Hopefully these don't stretch as much as the last ones, and fall over again lol.

I'll keep yinz posted.

Dang delivery services, sucks when you want to start the party and have no punch bowl. They'll need to be transplanted asap, hopefully before the roots reach the bottom. As they're autos, you're risking early onset of flower if there's too much shock. I hope you can get your smartpots soon and get these babies growing. The flowering one looks great too, buds are coming along

KiG cheers

 

[JM26]

Thank you sir. Fortunately they pots are out for delivery today. Should be transplanted tonight!

Should be fairly simple, as well. I cut the bottoms out and cut all the way down a side so I'll just fill the pots up, slide the cups in place, get everything flush, then slide out the plastic.

Transplanted everything. Only worried about one. When I was lifting the cup out of the pots, the mix was still wet enough to stick to the glass so I had to juggle it a little tougher than the others. The medium got a little loose. Hopefully everything's cool. 3 of the 4 are starting to peak out, and of course the one I'm worried about isn't lol. Hopefully tomorrow I see four lovely ladies.

All four girls have broke the surface. Now, my only concern is the closet I'm using for this room is getting up to 86 degrees when the doors closed. Is that to hot for seedlings?

Edit...
Moved the set up. No longer concerned lol.

Cheers

Cant wait to watch these babies grow..

 

[JM26]

Was going to update with more pictures but my camera died. I cleaned up the bottoms on these girls. Hopefully the larger buds get all that extra energy! They stand at 21 and 27 inches. I believe that's where they'll finish at too.

Cheers!
