She's sure does, Leialoha is my idea of an autoflower strain. She's going to take a while longer than most autos but she's got to be the best training I've done so far. Practice makes perfect. Thank you 4x4grower! :thanks:

They really get fat around the bends. It's like a super cropped knuckle but it's just the mains splitting. Lots of juices flowing through there I'm sure :high-five:

Hello Snidrajsed! Took me a bit of reading to catch up on your grow and see a few things i will do with mine. Your girls are looking good!!

Growers beware, I'm pushing the limits for autoflower training...hopefully my experiences will help prove for everyone what can be done with auto strains and whats not beneficial.(I say this since the amount of vague and unproven info on autos is immense, at least when I started last spring) Glad you like what you see here, if you've got any questions on what I did or am doing feel free to ask. Cheers! :welcome:

Looks awsome gee those stems are thick arnt they.. is it difficult to water these girls without getting nutes on the leaves or the leaves getting all dirty in the mud? or do you submerge the pot in a larger bucket ?
Click to expand...
When I water them I go mostly around the edge of the pots, I still got a little room there. Lol. Then I'll use my perforated solo cup to water the central area and let the water pool in the pot to soak it's way in. If I do get lazy I'll just use my sprinkler solo cup and pour it all over irregardless, then I'll make sure to spray down the foliage with my squirt/mist bottle, Soaking the foliage. Then I let them dry off before putting them under the lights footprint. :ciao:

KiG everyone :green_heart:cheers
 
Mar. 24th, a faux Friday for the working masses. Happy Easter long weekend everyone. May you be with family and friends for this Easter holiday. Didn't get to the plants till late tonight, although I made some adjustments to Ellabella before my nap. She'll be the highlight of today's update. Let's get started...

Ellabella day 59 : 9.6 lbs
20160324_151236.jpg
I gave her the full treatment today, nips, tucks and whole lot of stake adjustments. I can't decide whether to train the clump of tops at her pinnacle or top them again. I need to start 12/12 within a couple weeks. I also gave up the idea of up Potting her, since the journal deadline is the end of June.

Look at how even her low lying canopy is, I spent a the better part of an hour with her today. And all the others got neglected. Haha.

Winnie day 59 : 9.0 lbs
mar24win9_0.jpg
just a pic and weigh in for her, I've got got lots of time this weekend to play with her.

Leialoha day 51: 6.6 lbs
mar24leia6_6.jpg
nothing to add for Leialoha either, she can just stretch out for another day and I'll deal with her later this weekend too.

FYI, I just ponied up for a bluelab soil ph pen to go with my bluelab hydro Ph and ec/ppm pens. Yippee, straight from new Zealand :)

KiG everyone :green_heart:cheers

Damn man just finished reading the whole thing. Plants look awesome and you obviously know a thing or two about training. I think I'm going to get mine out of the tent later today and get some better pictures. Mind giving me some pointers once I do so. Again awesome grow and many thanks for the comments on my journal.

Snids plants are the bomb, aren't they? He knows his shiz, that's for sure.
 
Noob4x4grow said:
How many days are these girls going to take Snid?
Click to expand...
That's a very good question 4x4,I'm been thinking about that the last few days. The photos need to go into flower by mid April (my birthday) to make the June 30th deadline. I need about 8 weeks for them to flower then 2 weeks to dry and cure for sampling. Let me look at the calendar... It's 11 weeks from my birthday to the end of June that's just about perfect. As for Leialoha she was sprouted on feb1st and at 105 days that takes her through till mid may, so she'll be done by June if the last crop is any indication of her time to harvest. Thanks for making me put book ends on that part of my grow. :idea:

The amount of LST being employed has reached insane levels!!!

I like it.

Looking forward to 12/12 Snid

Me too vlad, this is going to be interesting to say the least. These photos are going to be grand, really gonna try to keep those canopies even throughout the Stretch. Cheers comrade :ciao:

Jeeze llamabomb you can really make someone feel like a elite grower, truth is I'm just going through the process of learning too. I'm just a level ahead of you, one grow makes all the difference in style and confidence of what your doing and of knowing what your plants are doing. I'm not gonna lie, I've read alot of thick books and probably a thousand posts here and elsewhere to get to where I am now. It's definitely been a journey, and that's what these journals are for. I'm so glad to share with all you my experiences and mistakes so that it may help future newbies like me. Thanks so much Llama, :peace:

Holy cow, that's extremely flattering 4x4. I am happy to hear you like my grow, mad respect for you brother. :Namaste:

Update coming up, let me just go get medicated first... Been a long good Friday. KiG everyone :green_heart:cheers
 
Mar. 25th, Good Friday to all of you kind and dear folks. It was a lazy day for the most part, movies and house cleaning. I nice easy day for the plants too, didn't get much time with them. Like i just posted to 4x4grow's question about my time period schedule, I'll be switching to 12/12 by mid April. I'm hoping to get some more girth by then, here we go, who's up for today's lineup...

Ellabella day 60 : 9.2lbs
mar25ella9_2.jpg
stretch those limbs my dear, I'll deal with you in a couple days to whip you back into shape. I may do a foliar feeding, her greens are lightening some.

Winnie day 60 : 8.6 lbs
mar25win8_6.jpg

Same will go for Winnie, i'll have to tend to her tomorrow. She's getting pretty thick and is very hungry for space.

Leialoha day 52 :6.4 lbs
mar25leia6_4.jpg

Not much going on here in the auto tent either, just a couple loose stakes to adjust other then that she'll be able to grow another day before I start preening her again.

Simple update, sorry for the lack of training :) haha... Hope y'all are having a great long weekend. KiG everyone :green_heart:cheers

Plants are looking great Snid, Leialoha is the one that stole my heart... just awesome! :thumb:
Click to expand...
She is my little Leialoha (Hawaiian for.. my darling child) it might be her figure that does it, but it's also that she is my comparison plant to my last grow. I really like the CKS northern lights auto strain, it doesn't flower too early compared to some others I've tried. I'm in rush to flower them more growth means more buds. :thumb: we're almost at week 8 and she's just showed preflowers.

Thanks welshpony they are going really well so far. A couple small hiccups but we're definitely looking good :) appreciate the kind words friend, I'll be making my best efforts to get them to harvest. :thanks:

You go it mouser, find a spot and get to rollin' some joints to pass around. :passitleft: glad you joined me on my adventure, there's always something going on at Stinky Snid's... Lol

Thanks for the support everyone, it goes a long way :)

Mar. 27th, Easter Sunday and a beautiful one at that, 12°c and sunny feels like spring again. I'm sure one more snow fall is still to come. But enough about the weather, let's get to the indoors where the action is.

Ellabella veg. day 61 : 8.8 lbs
mar27ella8_8.jpg

I did some minor tucking and stake adjustments. Up at the top tips I topped them again after 2 nodes, they've now been topped 3 times. Let me count, 1: 2: 4: 16, hahahhahah 16 tips right there plus two dozen more in the flux... Jeeze I don't think I can wait much longer before flowering her.

Winnie veg. Day 61: 7.8 lbs
mar27win7_8.jpg

I was a little lazy with Winnie after spending so much time with Ellabella. Did some stake adjustments and tucking. She's reached the pots edge and I will need to flower her soon, I'll have to clear my photo tent of the little ones to make room for their future huge ass canopies. I need my Maria to finish asap.

Leialoha day 53 : 9.6 lbs
mar27leia9_6.jpg

Slight adjustments, I'm letting her stretch upward now at her end tips. Most of them have reached the edge of the pot and the nodes are tightening up for flowering, and her leaves are getting thinner... Sure sign of changing over her hormones to flower stage. No mature pistols yet, just some preflowers.

Happy Easter to all you great folks, enjoy the good and family. KiG everyone :green_heart:cheers
