Metalpoet - 1st Grow - Northern Lights Auto - Soil FFOF - CFL - Indoor

[MetalPoet]

Hi, Solar! Yes, she's an auto. She's 124 days old today I think. Snid had a NL auto that went 125 days. InfiniteJuan has one that tried to go past 133 days. Annnd actually, I harvested the older tops last night. They had no new white pistils and the trichs were where I wanted them. Trying to leave the light on for the less mature stuff. I'm still looking for the kitchen scale so we might at least get a dry weight. My guess right now is that the dry weight will be right around 2 oz. Maybe a bit more. Perfect.
Trimming was fun for me. Granted it was only 1/3 of a small plant but, yeah, it was...therapeutic.
I am going to put up pics if my half-hacked Matilda later. Don't worry... she may be slow, but she's a trooper... I keep thinking I might could regrow her... NOT something I would think an auto is capable of... she's still throwing out new shoots and greenery. Hmm ....
Thanks for stopping by, Solar!

wow!!! i cant believe that...why u have an auto for so long?
if u dont minnd to tell me ..what is if u keep it 4 months insteed the 7-10 weeks the company sais so?they say if the trichomes getting more and more amber the plant changes from tch to cbd...or something like that i have been readen...hats the different?
thanks...u got some nice job over there...congratulation

I honestly can't say why it went so long. InfiniteJuan and I both have Vision Northern Lights Autos and his and mine all went past 120 days (from seed). Maybe it's just the genetics from Vision seeds because I did a lot of lst to mine but IJ did not. So I really don't know. I think lst may slow down an auto and topping is a must. May try growing the autos inside for 3 weeks so you can make sure they get more than 13 hours of light. I know it shouldn't matter in an auto, but maybe some of them have stronger "photo" genes than others.

Day 124: Harvest
All things being equal, I went ahead and finished Tilly off. She is now drying gently in a box.
Will update when I get dry weights and an idea of potency.
I'm a little rushed as we have some issues to tend to in the next several days.
Next grow? Probably Fast Buds Pineapple Express. Starting Monday probably.

Congrats on the harvest, MP!

Pineapple Express next? Yay! I'll be there for that one too!

Congrats MP! Looks like you got a decent yield. Look forward to the Pineapple Express.

Hi, everyone.
The jarred total was just under 2 oz. Went into jars yesterday.
The scent is lemony-pine and very subtle. The flavor is just non-existent on the inhale and slightly melon-floral on the exhale. This buzz is chatty and a little uppity. By this, I mean that 10 minutes into it and I looked at my partner and said, "You ready for a walk? Going without you anyways!" Not hyper, just awake and ready to go! Totally wasn't expecting that and am happy that it turned out that way. The buzz lasted about 90 minutes (2 mile walk and 2 loads of laundry later). Incidentally, it is currently the strongest stuff I have on hand (in the land of the unreasonable rules sometimes all that is available is marginal meds). Not rocket meds, just good, you know?
I want to say particular thanks to Dirt McGert and Snidrajsed for their help and encouragement. But let's not exclude CannaMontana, InfiniteJuan, ColoradoKid, Weenmeoff, Solareclipse, and everyone that stopped by.
I still have some thoughts about the whole thing but I want a moment to mull.
I want to do another grow soon. Still negotiating with the partner. Stay tuned.

You did it Metalpoet, way to go! There was no doubt for me that you would outdo my first grow attempt, you're well on your way to getting major results in the future. I've been rooting for Tilly since she was a little girl, and now it's time for you to enjoy so super satisfying homegrown green splendour. I immensely look forward to your next grow attempt, pineapple express, mmmmm... Tasty. Sensei Stinky Snid couldn't be happier to congratulate you on your first harvest

KiG cheers

Edit:
Here's a heaping of reps for you MP, I almost forgot... Well deserved,
