Heya Rifle! Happy saturday! (since every day is right!?) haaa. Everything lookin tasty!! I will miss this thread when you close shop for recess haha I never saw the solo cup hats. I saw the solo cup challenge.

 

[Tead]

I'm too lazy and cheap to do either. I'd rather bitch about it

Nice.... I'm with ya!

Temps are what drove me away from DWC. Now I do hydro via coco and don't worry about water temperatures anymore.

What kind of temps does your garden run at? Any idea what your current water temps are?
You have my attention. Always looking for other heat resistant grow techniques and I've never tried coco.

You're Gauge. Glad to know I helped. Sometimes my explanations confuse folks more than help. My stoned verbosity looses something in translation often times.

LMAO you know my schedule ! Since you didn't see them the first time around I'll drop a few photos below. Barney's Farm Sweet Tooth Auto. IIRC she was around 40 inches and 13 oz dry. Harvested 1-31-16

13oz dry, off of one auto flower??

DWC+Rifleman=big ass autos

367g dry to be exact. My largest auto so far. I have seen other autos break the 450g mark but I haven't made it there yet. I'm considering a two bucket run under the 1000w next year to see if less might not be more. Crowding four under my light requires daily 90deg turns to maximize growth, with only two plants I theorize large autos might out produce what I've been doing lately.

I don't think it's just me Laz. A five gallon bucket, 600w hps, and anyone can hammer out a solid 4 to 8 oz plant. Of course I'm the only person I know that can't even grow grass in soil. Yeah like a lawn. I kill everything I've ever tried to grow until I hit dwc. Bingo winner winner chicken dinner. Let's go plant a forest.

How is the potency with the autos? I was talked out of them for my first grow. Was told the yield and potency wouldn't be worth the T/E

That depends on the auto you choose. I've tried quite a few, and you see where I ended up. Cajun once told me autos have come so far I shouldn't hesitate to grow them for oil. That's saying a lot, coming from him. You already know my favorite auto, and it's because the buzz is unbelievable. Get it right and it'll carry you for up to 24 hours.

There're good reasons that auto can always be found in my garden.

I was warned about autos too. Then i came here and saw some grows and heard some smoke reports.
I stocked up on a few tried and true strains for my outdoor grows this year.

I grew a few indoors and they were sugar covered and deeelicious.

See below. Sue knows.

I like autos because they are a rocket ship ride from jump street in dwc. I can not tell a difference in the smoke of a photo plant vs an auto either. But like Susan said, it depends on the auto. I was lucky on my initial selections. Later on I found some auto breeders and really got hooked up. When I order I do it directly through them and get much better service. :icon_cool

I hope you got some Mephisto Genetics or some Dutch Passion. The Skywalker is a frost beast, and my DP AutoUltimates are the hardest buds I've grown. They are like little rocks.

 

[Lazarus13]

Both on my wish list when funds become available again (ha!) I've been drooling over mephistos line up for quite a while and Dutch Passion... I wish i had the $ for almost their whole assortment. I have some fast buds lsd-25 and sweet seeds red poison, a cotc amphetamine and a bag of freebie cotc autos from gorilla. Oh and of course a few blue treacle from Fem. Seed Co. That is my favorite at the moment.

I've had the lsd25, it's nice. I've got one blue treacle, now I'll have to reverse it for seed just in case I like it too. I was just going to use it as a fill in because I hadn't heard anyone review it. Thanks... I think. Let me know if the cotc amphetamine is as quick as they say. I'd like to finish a grow under 85 days.

 

[Lazarus13]

Ive only grown the bt twice and gotten 2 phenos. Long lanky sativa dom and a shorter bushier indica dom. Both super sweet smelling ( think blueberry syrup) that filled the house with deliciousness. Really sticky with a lot of fat trichomes alllll over ( the undersides of all the leaves seriously looked like i wet them and dipped them in sugar) lemme see if i have a pic...

 

[Tead]

Busy room... I think I missed some....

Those of you who scored the SSDC while they were available, drop some beans.

Idunno.... maybe 3 or 4 days ago. I'll get a fresh one up for ya later today. Just moved them into the bloom room mostly because of space needs.

I misunderstood. I have Devil's Carnival seeds from Canna and Nis, and they were being considered to follow these DDAs I have now. The Devil's Crack, was that of your own making?

Carnival, crack, dark devil, devil dog.... oh the names... they all flow together.

You know what they say... "You can't say you've been smoking pot all day if you don't start first thing in the morning."

Damn skippy! A motto I've implemented for years before I knew a motto for it existed.

WELL THATS CERTAINLY A BEAUTIFUL BUCKET!

You do realize the bucket is Tead's creation Tex? Yes, it is beautiful. Someday I'll learn to duplicate that beauty beginning to end with a hempy.
