I cants stand when it does that I dont get it there the right way on my phone and its uploaded multiple of the same sorry guys

So we have just gone past the 6week mark and thats the plants just starting to make me smile the aromas are wonderful and the flowers are starting too really pack on the weight and shine with crystals but temps hit above 50*c 20% rh yesterday so I have placed a small box fan at the bottom of the tent blowing cold air in and I have a larger fan at the top sucking the hot air out there both on 24hrs and plants are now all settled in place so future update pics will be as they are no more moving them around also upped there waterbto 1l every 2days no feed there is a build up in the soil for the ladies topmax every other feed on a positive note not all is well under the misses led blue dream started to topple from her own weight so I had to tie the main cola up now shes the beastiest plant ive seen (for an auto)

I don't know if you're loading them straight from your Phone or not but if you download them to your computer first just rotate them before you upload them to 420.

Nice Plants man the one under the thermometer is a beaut. is that the blue.?something? and thoes temps man :O 50c fuk thats hot down to 37 now i see. i use to panic when it went past the 30's haha in the summer aswell its just allways hot even when lights off, it doesnt go below 20c. i think the plant u have with skinny/shriveled leaf might be a heat prob. is it one closest to the light or? had the same with a couple plants, id like to find out 100% why as anyone would

 

[scottish]

cheers indo the plant under the thermometer is indeed a blue dream its the misses led one I had too tie up she is a fluxin beast she was a freeby but im definately going to have to grow her again if the smokes good but the Plant with nitro burn is my blue dream she is still well behind the misses lol the skinny leaf one is it the plant on the left hand side in the bottom pic? Shes my trans si furthest along each bud is like a xmas tree but she waz about 5inches under sidelight so I have raised that inline with main lighting as she has showed various heat issues (pistils shriveled leafs changed) but again I think biggest problem is nitrogen toxicity I should have dropped grow when I swapped into bloom or even better just not fed at all autos really dont like food even organics lol yeaa I have 2fans atm one as intake one as outtake with a nice slipstream inbetween so get the temps down a bit and thankfully our heatwave is subsidding so temps should hopefully go below 30 today not getting much thc production in such a high heat and the ladies arent looking there best they where at 50* for 2days and still grew tho so high heats arent as much an issue as I thought light is more altho my ladies all lollipopped themselves which I am kinda happy about

Hey Scottish! Everything sure looks good- I can't wait to hear how the blue dream turns out - one of my favorite strains!

By the way you inspired me to try some auto's- got 2 on the deck outside. Ones a La Diva, the other is a Big Bud/Northern Lights. Can't wait to see how they turn out!

Oh and subbed.

Hi flo so happy to see that you are back around too the new expanded grow I cant wait either the misses l.e.d one is so beautiful the pistils are illuminous orange and the nugs are so dense I had too give littlemiss a hand tying support braces too hold the branches up with the blueberry smell going up my nose my cfl one is way behind though and not very impressive quite frustrating lol my trans si is my lil beaut she has buds like mini xmas trees lovely shape and uniformity and peppery skunky smell but today is the first time ive actually spent time in my loft I bit off more than I can chew with this grow im afraid I turned them into powerhouse plants will be interesting when there all chopped and I get yield amounts I dont think either airpot or standard will beat the 1.5o dry of there predeccesors altho all plants have self lollipopped with minimal help I think I have beenpunished for my greed

Yayy if you dont have a journel for them my thread is open I would love to see some pics of ladies in the sun(just checked your back on the old thread all updated yayy and hubbies joining in ) and the strains you have are a great choice la diva is a very pretty plant and northern x big bud wow they are monsters northerns grow big xmas tree plants and the big bud loads it with amazing bud ive nearly bought a seed a few times but got a northern style freebie so put it off if yours turns out well I may have to say flux it and add it to the collection

Ok guys I have a month tops left on this grow so its time to start thinking about the next grow so over the next few days I would like too discuss a few points can everyone please add any thoughts oppinions methods etc that they use but first and foremost is what to grow I have 8different new auto strains (can list if anyone likes) but I am tempted to go photo I have my bagseed that need flowered(altho the one in the tent is so big she scares me ive been brutal with her already but she is going to need serious restraints) and the little one on my windowsill could do with being repotted and a week root veg prior to flip but they could still be male so I am thinking samsara seeds sweet black angel feminised started when blue dream is out for a 4 week veg is this enough time for 2clones? I know they will need a longer veg but will have them on windowsill when lights go 12/12? Shes 55days flower but im thinking grow an auto fruit alongside see how a auto goes 12/12 throughout? And then reveg tgis plant with my 8autos in the new year and then go reveg and new plant flower back to reveg with autos and have a continous cycle of bud/strains this way?

 

[scottish]

Ok guys I have a few group photos of the ladies at exactly 8weeks old for your viewing pleasure sorry there not the best

Lst sweet cheese is about 13weeks and back in the tent

Bagseed#2 has thrown a pistil? On the kitchen windowsill so I am going to give her a clean up repot and off to the tent in preparation for flowerin when autos are finished heres a couple of rough snaps

I will take a pic after she is repotted and had some rubbish removed so her stem is nice and clean to show her multiple tops bagseed#1 looks more of a kush plant than haze like #1 we shall hopefully find out in flower but for now she is still receivin training SCOTTISH style so far she has responded well to my brutality of spreading her legs bending her tops and stripping her off as with other plant ill go in depth as the autogrow finishes and show how she became what she is but for now look at this beaut tucked in the corner ps she showed calyx on windowsill 2weeks ago

Nice Photo Shoot Scotty...

 

[indochronic]

lovley stuff man there really turing out well during flowering nice and long far cola stem by the looks of things hope i get similar next grow, i might need afew tips update in a couple of weeks if u have any new usefull methods

 

[scottish]

Cheers bar I need some close ups and trich shots at least on the sweet afghani her leaves look as if ive dunked them in a bag of sugar and she smells like it too and with week or two left shes going to continue too pack it on need a day to dedicate to them before harvest

Cheers indo mate they really are starting too pack it on especially on the cola theres a few fat uns already but still upto 3weeks left for them all so again I may actually top my ounce per plant even the gp is a lot bigger and better sidebranching this grow happy to help however I can mate just give us a shout I will also do a summarising paragraph at harvest on each plant as ive struggled with the updates and this grow was an experiment so the answers shall hopefully be in the harvest been puffing on some immense lemon sour diesel even the stem is loaded with thc and has a brilliant buzz

I need too finalise my soil ready for this bagseed so far it consists of general organic compost to which I have mixed in so far a few dozen eggshells for calcium green grass for nitrogen brown grass for pottasium wood ash for macro nutes and have left too mix and activate outdoors with airballs ive still to add a cup of bonemeal mycos and a bit of epsom salts as im worried they may wash through? And perlite as i need to pick some upIs there anything else I should be adding? Altho it is for a photo this grow so will be using flower nutes in 12/12 but want the best medium I can create

Also I want to make a carbon filter so shopping list- tights, activated carbon, pipe, fan, cap

 

[scottish]

Bagseed potted up and prepped 2/3 weeks veg before flower

whoops bit heavy ohh well

 

[Pittbull72]

Vermiculite.... I never mix soil without it!

 

[scottish]

I will pick up a bag over the weekend pitbull its only a fiver for 50l at the garden centre I saw it when I got perlite and thought about it but then thought just perlite would do

Anyone heard of volcanic rock dust as a mineral addition to soils im reading a lot of good bad and mixed reviews about it? May need to go to the virtual coach and ask gardenfaerie she knows her sh** when it comes to natural gardenin just dont like always bugging her

 

[scottish]

Ok gave the ladies a haircut today simply took the growing tip off every cola almost like light addicts bud backbuilding except it is only the very top of the plant that stores the hormone that makes them stretch for the sun so it is only the very tip of the plant I remove so as the energy is focused on finishing fruit and fattening out the lower structure littlemiss refused to follow my advice and only allowed her blue dream as she is finshed and just fattening and a side bud on her sweetcheese she will regret this when she sees density difference on that branch than the rest but heres what I removed

Looking Good scottish
