Chunkadelic Auto Stretch Update
Day 36

Just a quick check-in on the stretch status of Chunky the auto. We got another 3/4" or so last night, enough to see it visually and obviously this morning. Interesting that she stretched about 2" on what I thought was stretch day one, ie, Monday, then no stretch Tues/Wed/Thurs, then another almost inch on Friday. Both Monday and Friday were the days she was watered this week. I wonder if those things could possibly be related?

That's it guys. Enjoy your Saturday. Here's a picture of Chunky doing her impression of an F-15. This is what she looked like when I woke up with the girls this morning.

That is one happy plant!

Morning Jon! I forget, did you top Chunky? I agree with Emilya she looks great. I thought it was a typo and looked at Amnesia Seeds for Future #1 but couldn't find it. When I saw your post today I realized it wasn't a typo lol. I see they also make a Future #1 auto but it's only (!) 28% THC. I may have to consider 4 plants per grow so I can get to more of these awesome seeds asap! Back in the day I got all my seeds from Barney's Farm, including the Bubba Kush in my name.

At the time there was a real drought of weed around here, and I hadn't smoked for a while. I finally found some bagweed that was ok but it had seeds. Now you're my age so you surely remember the old days when pretty much all pot had seeds. I'd break out a double album, open it up and use it to sift all the seeds out. But it had been many years since I'd gotten any weed with seeds, as I said it was hard to find anything, so I decided to try planting them and that began my growing oddessy. That grow was a nightmare but I learned a lot, foremost that this site was here and that there were lots of great feminized seeds for sale overseas. To make a long story short, I was out of weed for the whole grow of Bubba Kush, LSD and I forget what else. If I could describe how incredibly high I got on that first good test bud of the BK.... wow. A close friend of mine thought the LSD was the best he'd ever had. I've not grown BK since then, and I'm sure most of the high was because I'd been abstinent for so long, but I've longed for it ever since. Plus the smell and taste... it really did smell like bazooka bubble gum. I found some in a rec clinic in Colorado last winter and paid a premium for it... it was good but not as good as mine had been. I'd probably have to dry out for a few weeks to ever experience that high again, and I don't see that happening anytime soon lol.

While I'm thinking about it, what are your day/night temps in the tent? I'm keeping my temps about the same mostly because I keep forgetting to turn the temps down at night. I'm seeing a little stretch in the autos, I'm gonna try and remember to cool the room at night and see if I can get a bit more stretch. So this is a long way of asking if you've noticed any correlation between how much you cool the tent at night and how much stretch you're getting?

Votto's one of the strangest players I've ever watched. He has very little natural athletic talent. But his approach to hitting is clinical, I read recently where someone said he was an OBP machine before sabermetrics made OBP cool. He reminds me of how George Will described Tony Gwynn in Men at Work. He's actually a great guy, just marches to his own drummer and this is the first year I've ever seen him look like he's relaxed and having fun. He's always been wound very tight. I don't know if you recall but his dad committed suicide during the season about 10 years ago. It took him years to at least move past it a little. He's very private and humble around town. What you may perceive as him being an asshole is actually him trying to figure out how to enjoy playing. Like I said, he's different. And we certainly haven't dumped him, he's helping carry the team again. I think he's got 17 HR's in the last 35 games. Not bad for a 37 year old that I thought was washed up 2 years ago.

Hey Man.... Ok, quickly to the personal stuff. Yep. I'm 56. We used albums and frisbees. Nickel bags from the guy in the apartment complex behind the Wawa. I hear you all too loudly, lol. On Votto - all you say may be true. But dude has a particular hard on for Phillies fans. I watched him taunt a nine year old kid with a ball one time at CBP. He had made the last out of the inning at first and was walking towards the dugout with the ball in his hand and as he gets close there's a kid begging him for the ball. Dude was like, "oh, you want the ball? Here you go..." and he proceeded to fake throw the kid the ball like five times. Every time the kid jumped for the toss that never came. When he got to the steps of the dugout he said "tough luck, kid," and took the ball into the dugout. Kid goes crying to his mom. He's a DICK. I couldn't care less about his personal life or any of his trials and tribulations. There's no excuse for that. Dude makes 100 mill or whatever. He's on the world's biggest stage all the time. Not being a dick to kids is kind of a no brainer for god's sake, and why wouldn't you want to make that kid happy? We HATE him in Philly.

The grow questions:
- yes I topped Chunky, just once very conservatively because I had never topped an auto before and wasn't confident in my timing. I topped her one time at the fifth node when the sixth was out.
- there is a lot of conflicting data from what I have been able to find about what temps at night will give more or less stretch, and I have seen personal accounts that are highly conflicted as well. You'll even get inconsistent answers from people in here if you ask. So the short answer is that temps related to stretch, I don't honestly know. What I know is that I like and encourage the stretch in the stretch. The more they stretch, the bigger they are, the better your yield. I have a 9' tall tent and my light can get to within 6 inches of the canopy if necessary, so height is never a concern for me. I use cold nighttime temps to bring out the colors. On this, it seems the data is more consistent: it works. You can't really get the tent cold enough to kill the plants. My lowest nighttime temperature so far is 58.3 degrees, which I got one night on Sadie when it was nice and cool outside overnight and I set the AC to 62 and high fan. (It only goes as low as 62) I also have five fans going in the tent at all times so the air moves around well in there. When I woke them up it was 58.3. I was psyched! She got those cold temps from mid budding to the end. And you saw how much purple I pulled out of her. She was more purple than the plant in the Humboldt promotional ads! But mostly for Sadie it was around 60 overnight, and 74 in the day. With this current grow, Chunky is secondary to the photos. I don't care what happens with Chunky. Point being that she gets whatever the photos want whether she likes it or not. The exception is her height to the light where obviously I compensated. Therefore, she is budding a bit warmer than I would bud her by herself. Day temps are 74-78 (78-80 on a real hot 100 degree day), and Night temps are 68-72 consistently. That's what I want for the photos now, so that's what Chunky gets. LOL. Humidity is 50-65%, which is around 15 points higher than Chunky would prefer it, but as I said, sorry Chunky, the photos are the alpha plants. Chunky will also not be able to benefit from the 680 watts/flower booster feature of the light, as why would I put my photos in veg under red light boosters? But all that said she's doing fine and I bet she finishes strong anyway. Just living her entire lifecycle under the G8 is going to more than make up for the temperature and humidity she's dealing with. It's not THAT far off from where she would be anyway. A bit more humid and a bit warmer, that's all.

For what it's worth!

Thanks for reminding me about cold temps bringing out the color, I'd forgotten that. I may have to invest in a programmable ac unit because I keep forgetting to adjust the temps at night.

I'm blown away by that Votto story, that seems totally the opposite of what I'd expect. Can't blame you for not liking that, it's inexcusable. Very odd.

Perhaps we can both agree the Steelers are evil. I was hoping to watch them lose tonight but it's not happening. Damn.

So funny you say that. I lived in the 'burgh from 89 to 91. I have tons of friends there. I play music with folks from there. I'm from the Philly area. I'm an Eagles fan til the day I die. Even when they're 2-14. I DESPISE the Steelers. And their fans. Lmao. Fandom is hilarious. It's like an acceptable outlet for hate. Cracks me up. My buddy in Pittsburgh always says he's from Sixburgh. Makes me pull my hair out by the roots.

That was one Votto story. Just watch a Phillies game next time they play him. If you have MLB on cable you can watch the Philly feed. They FOCUS on the dude he's so reviled in Philly. Even the announcers hate him. But he also crushes us every time we play him just about no matter who's pitching. Lol. I can't say he's not good. But if you watch a game, at some point he will make some gesture or something to flip off the fans, or a fan, on purpose. Every time. He hates us for hating him. It's hilarious.

Hey guys, for anyone who uses the AC unit up against the tent method to cool their tents, take note of the fan against the right hand wall of the tent in the middle. See how it's turned? That's my most powerful fan that would fit the space the right way, I have it maxed, and it's blowing into the air intake screen of the AC unit. This is very important and may save you tons of headaches down the road. The reality I have found so far, (I've used this method on three consecutive grows and every time this has been the case, no matter using three different models of AC unit) is that when you do it this way you are by necessity compromising the air intake of the unit. Granted I used the round ports too, and in that case, since there's a tube involved between the unit and the tent, it's not an issue, but this is highly inefficient, and when you DO press the unit against the tent using the round ports, all this same stuff happens. The air intake is located right below where the air comes out. The big screen is the air intake. It's the only air intake. I have yet to see a window unit designed differently. So when you press that against the tent, or better yet, position it against the tent so there's a gap between the screen and the tent as I have done (It's a gap of maybe two inches), either way the air intake is compromised. In my experience, at some point, maybe on a hot day, or maybe when it's raining and the unit is working harder to dehumidify, or maybe when you haven't let the compressor rest a while as you should every day, that unit is going to cease to function properly. Every unit I've had has done this. Varying levels of dysfunction. However, this fan trick solves the problem. The fan is forcing air into the screen from right in front of it. WAY more air than it would otherwise get, cuz think about it, where's it getting it's air? The tent. When you do this you are effectively blowing cold air in and using that air to generate more through the unit. There's a balancing act that goes on with the exhaust fan as anyone who does this knows. The fan really helps. Since I put it in there, not once, regardless of outdoor conditions, has the unit malfunctioned. It makes it so sweet cuz it's basically set it and forget it once you have it dialed in.

So there's some AC unit help for anyone who uses the same method. All this assumes you are using the rectangular screened port in the middle, not the round ones.

Slurricane Post LST Session
Grow/Veg Day 37, August 22

A little spreading, a little tiny targeted defol, and voila.

 

[Jon]

Today's off topic post is about seeds....

Hi guys. Check out the haul from the last couple days including today's mail. A couple freebies I did not know were included. And the Anesia seeds came wrapped in a plain red t-shirt that actually fits. Lol. I never used Humboldt Seed Organization seeds before, nor Anesia. I have good experience with the 420 Fast Buds. I'm going to pop one of the Strawberry Banana autos today as the next auto in line in further pursuit of at least one plant a month or every three weeks to harvest. I will add her to the journal when it's time. BTW, Strawberry Banana just displaced Cinderella Jack as the highest THC tested autoflower. Check it out. And the Anesia Future #1 I can't WAIT to grow, I posted what they say about it the other day. The rest go on the pile. I just can't see this one tent thing lasting. Too many seeds to try. Lol.

 

[Emilya Green]

My seed collection started just like this. I have a quart jar in the fridge and about to need a second one. Before I knew it I was sitting on 100 different varieties of seeds! Looks to me like you are well on the way to doing the same!

Been a junky since day one. That's just from the last four days. I have a ridiculous amount of options in my jar in my room. Need another tent setup again. Be nice to win that ViparSpectra contest so I wouldn't have to buy a light. I'd gladly buy a new 4x4 and run it as the second tent to be able to test that light properly. I have every single other thing needed for a setup.

Autoflower Special
Chunky Day 39 Stretch/Budding Update
Sour Apple Day 32 Vegging State of Play

Chunky the Chunkadelic auto is now officially showing buds. I don't believe she is going to "stretch" anymore, I *think* from here on out she'll just continue to grow as a whole vertically a little bit as they do until the end. But as far as what I would consider actual stretch, she only stretched a total of about five to six inches. She did shoot out a few nodes in that space, which is nice and I can see will add mass to the top colas on each stem. So she's on Day 39 and HSC says she's a 75-90 day plant. She has plenty of time to bud out. The question is, how many days will she have to finish on 12/12 when I am forced to flip the photos she shares the tent with? I can keep the photos in veg for maybe 70 days, and based on what I'm already seeing from the Slurricane and the Ghost Train Haze, that's going to be pushing it. But let's say 70 days of veg for the photos. That should leave Chunky maybe two weeks max to finish on 12/12. Not ideal. In fact, honestly, in my opinion, the opposite of ideal. The last two weeks when the buds are fattening up to the max is not when you want to reduce the hours of light in my opinion. The only other option, and this is an option but would be very very tricky, would be to let the Sour Apple finish outdoors for her last two weeks, clearing out the auto rig, and then attempt to fit Chunky into the rig where she can finish on 20/4 or 18/6, AND I'd be able to switch one of the blurples to reds so she's have a ton of extra reds for her last two weeks. That is best case scenario, but getting a one bud Sour Apple plant in and out of this attejiere is one thing, getting a trained out, bushy as hell, big and wide and almost done budding plant into there is quite another. Not sure it can be done without breaking buds. Or removing them and harvesting a few early to pare her down so I could get her in. But I hate both of those options. She's come too far already to be in as perfect shape as she is. I'd rather take my chances on compromising my yield under the G8 at 12/12 with no disruption whatsoever to her entire life cycle than take all those chances just to give her six more hours of light a day for two weeks. For all I know an auto will actually respond well to finishing on 12/12. But regardless, that seems to be the inevitability at this point. Now if the photos go completely apeshit over the next month and I feel they need the space, maybe we could remove Chunky early and do the switch to the rig while it's a *little* safer and chuck the Sour Apple outdoors. That's also another option. We do have options, just none are the perfect option. Oh well. I could have worse problems. Cuz Chunky doesn't have one single issue. Not one. There's not the slightest blemish on one single leaf. Every single stem is healthy and strong. I have never raised a plant this far with this level of health before, and WOW is it an amazing thing. She is by far the most beautiful auto I have grown yet, and from the looks of her she is NOT going to be a one ounce/one eighth plant. Lol. No. A lot more than that. I will say that with confidence in this case. Chunky is on week 5 of the Canna Auto feeding chart exactly as written.

So why is she so healthy? Here's my opinion:

- Consistency of temperature and humidity for entire lifecycle with zero spikes of any kind
- Consistency of light spectrum hitting her and proper distance of plant from light
- Ph-ing every single drop of water she's ever had to 6.3
- Following the Canna Auto feeding chart to the letter
- The strain just happening to respond extremely well to the Canna nutes
- Plenty of space and plenty of moving air for her entire lifecycle
- Proper watering which has given me an awesome rootball and not once overwatering
- Letting the pot dry pretty much to the bone between most waterings up to this point
- LST training that allowed for space between stems and constant light to most of the plant
- Mono-silicic 40% acid treatment weekly which has greatly strengthened the stems while maintaining flexibility
- Excellent drainage and watering to runoff every time once the plant was big enough

I kind of feel like if you do those things to any plant you're probably going to do pretty okay. Now we'll see if I can bring her home as pretty as she looks right now. For the first time this morning when I opened the tent I could smell pot. Yay! Can't identify anything yet, but the first whiff was there - always a cool moment. So now we wait on what will hopefully become awesome bud porn.

The Sour Apple in the auto rig is also doing very well. She's in the Sohum and she also has zero blemishes of any kind. She gets only Ph'ed water and MSA once a week, and I did give her the first half shot of Cal Mag plus Iron she's had with her last watering, just cuz she's getting crushed by the blurples and I know she needs them or is about to. Generally speaking my days of using CalMag as a preventative are over. That was an unnecessary waste based on not doing a bunch of other stuff properly. When you do, in my opinion, there is no need or should be no need to use CalMag as a preventative. She is on Day 32 today and since that ounce/eighth pissed me off so much, she is trained as much as she has given me material to train. The picture is flash - the only way to see what she really looks like is to flip the lights off for a second to take the picture. Even though she's in the garage and not a tent, my cardboard rig to create the space to keep the AC in works pretty well. This plant has not seen 81 degrees yet. She gets down to 66 at night. Much better than I though I'd be able to accomplish and it took a lot of tweaking, but it was worth it. She's happy in there and it's a solid rig for an auto.

So there you go, an Autoflower Special Update for you to start a Tuesday.

Morning Jon! Just barely lol. I wish I was 56 again, but that was a decade ago. In a way I admire the Steelers organizational excellence, but their fans give me heartburn. As a Bengals fan it's been tough to take. Even without the Steelers it's been pretty tough for us hapless few. We've been lousy ever since Paul Brown passed away.

Looks like you're set for seeds for a few years yourself. Will your roomie let you set up another tent now? Seem to recall he made you take it down before.

Chunky looks fantastic! I would make the same call regarding her last few weeks under 12/12. Non-autos normally finish in the fall with less light. So maybe it will help with color and potency if not bulk?

I'm definitely going to try topping some more autos. I can't believe how big and healthy my topped gold leaf is, I counted 27 bud sites yesterday. She's about twice the size of the biggest one I've grown so far. The critical week is here for me, this is where the last batch started showing calmag issues. So far so good and fingers crossed here. If you don't mind I'll post of pic of her, I took some outdoors yesterday but they blend into the grass background and don't show well. I'll try and remember to take some when I bring them in.

I may have to keep them in for a few days anyhow, it's just brutal here highs in the mid 90's and humidity in the high 70's. Almost feels like where you're at. I thought they looked a little stressed when I brought them in yesterday so I'll be watching the closely today.

I've got wood thrushes living in my yard. They are obsessed with my plants and extremely smart. They think the colas have seeds so they like to sit on a fan leaf and try to get the seeds. Of course they shit all over the fan leaves, which is bad enough but they've even gotten some on buds. So we've been in a battle of wits and I'm not sure who's winning but I think I finally have the upper hand. I've built and rebuilt this giant cage covered in fine mesh to protect the plants. Working with that stuff is like working with smoke, it's so wispy and hard to keep straight and hard to cut straight and hard to attach to anything. So I'll think this cage is bird proof. Wrong. They will find the tiniest gap and get in. The other day I brought a plant out, set it on the step, went back in for about a minute to get water for it and by the time I got back out there was bird shit on a fan leaf. Unreal. But this latest iteration of my cage has kept them out for 3 straight days now, and for the last month it's been very rare that they could get in. I'm gonna keep working on it because I'll obviously need it from day one for all future outdoor grows.

Take care my friend.

I have a new assistant and I wanted to introduce you guys to her. Her name is Molly, and her primary job is going to be to guard the grow room. She will serve as both my alarm system and my gun, because as you can clearly see from the picture, NOBODY is gonna mess with Molly. She's the real deal. And I'm frankly happy to have the help. Now the trade off is, instead of paying her I provide her room and board here and food and all that. It's an arrangement I think we are both going to have fun living with.

Anyway, that's Molly, and here is a picture of her (guys, no hot chick comments, let's keep it clean):

Weekend Update
Chunky (Chunkadelic Auto) Stretch/Bud Focus
Photoperiods State of Play
Grow/Veg Day 42
Sour Apple Auto Rig Check-in
Day 35

You guys will be happy to hear that Molly is quite the load for now and she has at least temporarily cured me of a rookie mistake I'm having a hard time overcoming: over posting. Yes, I know. You guys are just too nice to say it. But hell, I haven't had a lot of extra time this week.

So on to the weekend update. Let's start with Chunky because she's pretty exciting right now. Since the last post I did a further defoliation on her and also cleaned out her lower growth and a few branches that weren't making the cut. She has turned out to stretch quite a bit. I tried to capture it in the photos, but she's probably put on close to a foot now. I *think* finally she's done, at least it looks that way to me. Then again I've said that before. Lol. She's super happy, super healthy, and continues to love the Canna nutes. This week she started week 5 of the Canna auto feed chart. This is the first feeding with flower (Flores) and Boost added to the mix. And she's a thirsty girl, easily doubling up the photos. I gave her a gallon with nutes on Monday. I had to give her another gallon of clean water plus MSA on Wednesday because she drained that gallon in two days. Again, two days she drains that gallon and today she got a second nute feeding of the week. I'm thinking every other watering between nutes and clean, and up to now that has never since seedling been more than one feeding in a week. But now her water consumption justifies it if I choose to do it. With her I did, in part due to Canna's claim that this is their mildest auto feed chart yet. I assessed that she could handle it. And indeed she has so far. So that's Chunky.

Slurricane/Ghost Train Haze/Hulkberry - the photos are all in similar positions. Being consistently trained out, consistently minorly defoliated to allow light in, being consistently just allowed to grow pretty much. They are all doing well. The Slurricane in particular is a beast. I wonder how much of that is due to her living in Sohum soil? All three have taken exceptionally well to training, all are super healthy and super happy. Ghost Train and Hulkberry are both on the repeating week four of the FF feeding chart. Obviously Slurricane gets just ph'ed water and MSA.

Sour Apple Auto - I have trained her out as much as I think she's going to let me and still be productive. She's on Day 35 and if she's not beginning to bud she will very shortly. This is later than Sue Anne, the last Sour Apple, started budding. I say *if* she's not beginning to bud because several times I have misinterpreted a bundle of emerging leaves as a bud forming, as they look remarkably similar for a day. So not sure, but this is her at the moment. Flash picture to try and overcome the blurple factor.

You can see in the one picture her temperature and humidity. This is pretty much where they stay during the day. They'll go up to around 79-80 at the hottest part of the day. Beautiful.

The growroom guard is pissed at me for leaving her alone long enough to check the plants and make this post. So spoiled already. Lol. She's yelling at me from my room. How dare I leave the princess alone.

On to the weekend porn shots.

Hey @Jon how’s it going man? Feels like its been years

Glad to see you still growing and producing beautiful ladies over there! Trying to find your post regarding why you had to tone the whole operation down. I’m on day 2 of looking for that post lol. You have a lot of posts my friend i hope you are well and give that cute pup a good scratchin for me, she looks like a cutie!

Glad to see you still growing and producing beautiful ladies over there! Trying to find your post regarding why you had to tone the whole operation down. I’m on day 2 of looking for that post lol. You have a lot of posts my friend i hope you are well and give that cute pup a good scratchin for me, she looks like a cutie!

Hey Michael long time! Probably been a week or two, lol! That post is in the very beginning of the current journal. The very first page I believe. All it really says is due to roommate concerns and such I was forced out of the two tent situation and pared down to one 5x5 and then made the new auto rig in the furniture piece, also outlined in the beginning of the journal. No big mystery. I'll have another soon enough, and if I win the ViparSpectra I'm gonna buy a 4x4 to test it in. Lol. Life is good and Molly is awesome, I'll tell her you said hey! Hope all is well with you.

Hi @Emilya, got time for a question?

My Chunkadelic auto is draining her five faster than I've ever seen a plant drink. I'm about to give her her third gallon of water of the week, one Monday, one Wednesday, and she's ready again. Dry. It's astounding. My question is have you experienced a super thirsty plant, and is this a good thing? My gut tells me it's fabulous.

Yes, this sounds like a very good thing. with proper watering practices you have created some awesome roots and are now seeing the plant use those roots to full advantage. Keep pumping water at her as fast as she can take it, but about every 4th time, let her dry out a little bit more just to get some oxygen down deep into those roots. I'm sure you can already suspect that there is going to be something special about this one!
