Trala’s Tent

[Trala]

Ladies are looking gorgeous Trala! Agree that Cleo may need an up pot, she’s a big girl. What I really love is that you are enjoying the beauty and grow of…..an autoflower! I’m so glad.

Thanks Boo.

Cleo is so big. I’m not sure if it’s the lack of mites or what, but all my plants are big this grow. Too big tbh.

I really liked the way Sunny looks. I see I made a mammoth error not topping River, but you live and learn.

 

[Trala]

Your plants look great, Tra! I have a question about the info you post about each plant, Tra. When you say:

12:12 - 5 days to flower
Days in Flower 16

What does the first line mean when the next line says Days in Flower 16?

Also, I agree with Boo about uppotting Cleo.

Omg I can feel a cringe moment coming on.LOLLLLLL

I thought you’re meant to document how long it took to see first flowers after making the lights go 12:12.

Live and learn exactly! It's good to see how an auto grows naturally and then also when you top them. Now you know! I love autoflowers when they don't act like dickheads..lol

You can. Nothing wrong with doing that.

Me too!

Yeah autos are like toenails. Sure you can keep them natural, but you really shouldn’t.

I’m sold and will continue growing one every perpetual thingy I do.

 

[Trala]

I’m so obsessed.

Just put these flower girls to bed and I feel so proud of me. They really are so beautiful. Poor Sunny is still banished to the corner.

No I didn’t get the booster.

Should I?

Ill take a leaf out my hydro supply guys book of knowledge.
Because Im more a soil guy, but had Da Virus not come crashing in ruining the party I probably would have been a hydro enthusiast again.

His schtick goes like this. If you are growing at scale, say for profit, it doesnt make a huge amount of difference, it probably just adds to the workload and outlay. Instead run another plant and just add like 5 to 15% more on top of the workload, theres not that much difference between say 10 or 11 plants.

And he thinks that way because 10 is commercial cultivation, where you get tangled up in much greater penalties, its a much greater crime. 10 would be full on hard work for a lot of people.

But the small gardener, or grow your own types (like us) with just say 1 to a few plants are in a position to add the extra booster for more yeild, we really dont want more plants. We tend to sit at a comfortable number which is the max we have time for to tend.

By using a booster its not really taking up any more space, floor or canopy, but you should, in theory, get better bang for you buck and time, because you only have the plants you have, and its only a bit more effort to add a booster in.

So maximising whats already there in terms of flower makes sense, put a few dollars in the nute end, grab more weight at the back end in harvest.

Which all made pretty good sense to me. I see the logic and merit in it.

So my own thoughts are if done well, you get the timing right and the plant responds well the booster nutes should be cheaper by a big margin than buying weights. As a grow your own our place is more thinking about the outlay for retail weed and how to avoid paying out, not so much how many dollars we can make selling.

And thanks. Hopefully I cut and paste and add the right amount of days every week lol

Sure. Plenty of time before needing to cross check. The numbers they give from seed supply are just guides any way, pretty rubbery.

I reckon in most cases its usually time beyond their numbers, being within their band they publish isnt that common. Outdoors forget it, zero chance they are even remotely accurate.

I didn't say you shouldn't/couldn't post that info. I just wanted clarification, i.e. I want to know if it was 16 days since you flipped to 12:12 or 21 (16+5) days?

Hello you

Thank you so much. I’m well pleased with this grow so far.

 

[Trala]

Just finished a 10 hour nightshift and I’m not sure if it’s the sleep deprivation but to my eyes today, my Maya has officially transformed from ugly duckling to swan. I think she might be the most beautiful plant I’ve ever grown. And her canopy isn’t that bad either. Like it won’t get a 420 Best Canopy award, but I think you can defs see a kind of canopy.

I’m going to try and get some Zzzzzz’s. See you in a few hours and thanks for all the help, cheering and advice you give me. It feels so lovely to be part of this community. Xo

I don’t know what happened to my last post….but OMG they are so green….so vibrant! Canopy looks awesome as well! As for night shift…sadly I’ll be joining you soon but yay for free child care (due to me being home) nay for sleep deprivation all over again…..fml <3 your work @Trala keep it up!

 

[Roy Growin]

Love that colour, the canopy looks great too
Sit back and enjoy the ride

Hello there

Thank you. I think it’s these new nutes. They are the ducks nuts. Canopy’s okay, but it doesn’t make my heart sing lol.

Night shift is sooooo awful (it wasn’t really I’m just being Tramatic).

Upside: ate a whole block of chocolate and half a bag of chips.

Downside: stood in human poo. And it wasn’t a little chicken nugget either. It’s weird, even tho dog poo smells worse, the layers of horror at the realisation you are standing in another adults poo is just, I don’t even know. I feel like I might need counselling LOLLINGGGGG!

It’s not really tbh. That’s just the best side.

The other sides are all a bit how’s your father.

But thanks. I’m happy with the colour and the bud building. Might even get a monster chode out of her LOLLLINGGGG!

I need to sleep before my brain implodes on itself.

You win lol I’m just a welder mind you I deal with my fair share of toddler poop why won’t he use the toilet?! Haha get some sleep lol but yes chocolate and chips sounds great have you tried combining both?! It actually wasn’t to bad

Hello there

Oi. Smileys are like chocolates, if you're gonna share you have to give everyone one. You cant just assign them whimsically, people will get upset.

Like I wont, but people.

Thank you. I think it’s these new nutes. They are the ducks nuts.

Thats awesome. I cant wait to try them if your transition has been not only successful but as good.

Canopy’s okay, but it doesn’t make my heart sing lol.

Your fault.

I wanna say its awful but then I remember the construction toilets. Turns out theres animals everywhere.

Great to see Maya improving, those sad ones sometimes just need to shake adolescence and they thrive.

Whatever happens, those two are looking big and awesome. Hopefully go big flower
