Boo, do you start your autos in their final containers or do you start smaller and pot up?

Every time I run an auto, I'm disappointed with the yield. They always seem to go into flower very prematurely and I've heard that, with autos, when the roots hit the side of the container, it tends to trigger flowering.

I don't know if that's true but the low yields are one thing that has really turned me off of autos (mostly, it's that I like to clone and have mothers in case it turns out to be a keeper) but I have a couple of auto seeds germinating now to try to get in a quick harvest.

I started them in small 2" containers but was planning on up-potting to their final containers pretty much as soon as they sprout to try to avoid the above.

All suggestions welcome!

That might be where I go wrong.

I usually uppot approximately 258 times from seed to final pot.

Lolllll

my autoflower suckage is so bad and I’ve had my eye on BooWho for while but need to get back over to finish up on her journal…

IIRC… waits for flower to hit then tops and upcans autos on same day but I'm sure there’s a bunch more to it than this

but…. She’ll be coming round the mountain when she comes…

I fucking love them!

They are like weed dolls. Well mine are. They are so delicate.

Stay with it Tra, you're almost there!

Yeah boiiiiii!

Did it without quitting too!

Come home girl! Walk it off!

I did!

I walked it, then yogaed it, then swam it.

Right now I’m red wining and scoobing it, and all I feel is love. Love and lethargy.

Lollll

It’s Sunday!

I’ve been so productive today, and I’m about 158 minutes from sliding into my clean sheets

Right let’s get this Motherfucker done
(Omg I’m a bit lit. Like not flaming, but I defs have a glow )

Sunday Summary

First I hope you’re having the best day ever!

Oh my days, this plant is everything I wanted Mimmy to be and more. I just adore a do over, and I am so happy I got a second chance to grow this strain. She is a beautiful deep dark green, and her foliage is thick and luscious. I think she is my favourite strain to grow, and Barney’s Farm genetics are on fleek.

Bic Bee aka Mimosa EVO
Barney’s Seed from Sponsors Herbies Seeds
Age: 118 Days
Flip Age: 81
Days Flowering: 29

I’ve decarhooked Stinkstar, so she can reach as high as she likes. She will hopefully be the last gigantor I every grow. She is more the S type plant, not the indica type, the other one. As you can see, her foliage is a pretty lime green and she’s not too far from my favourite point of flower. I gave her bikini line a tidy up. She is bursting with good health.

Stinky Bee aka Runtz Muffin
Barney’s Seed from sponsors Barney’s Farm
Age: 66 Days
Flip Age: 53 Days
Days in Flower: 3

I just love little autos. Granted I’d prefer to get at least an ounce, lol. But there is something so unique about them. So interesting. Wednesday is just gorgeous. Her buds are like jewels and her foliage is like green gold. And she is absolutely exquisite.

Wednesday Bee aka Blueberry Auto
Unique Seed from The PNW Seed Fairy
Age: 59 Days
Days Flowering: 30

My redemption Zkittles, omg! She is everything I wanted Olivia Bee to be lol. I have worked really hard to shape this plant. She is 17cm tall and 57cm wide. My plan is to flip her at Day 61 of reVeg, like Carcass did with his girl. Her foliage looks good, but it’s still not perfect. Every time I look at her I feel grateful to be able to take a second bite of the cherry. As you can see, she looks nothing like the mother plant lol.

Pee Bee aka Zkittles
Monstercropped Clone
Age: 44 Days in reveg

I cut Mim in half. Coz I’m all about a low grow in 2023. I’ve also started carhooking her. One side is growing faster than the other lol. Im not sure if you remember but Bic, the mother plant was a slow starter. Hopefully Mim is just being that too. She looks just like the mother plant in foliage cut and colour.

MiMi Bee aka Mimosa EVO
Ordinary Clone
Age: 30 Days

Poor little Gracie got a little bit sunburned. I accidentally left her in the full Queensland sun for half a day. It just burned her biggest leaves a tiny bit.

Grace Bee aka Gorilla Squach Auto
Seed from The PNW Seed Fairy
Age: 12 Days

Omg this little nuffy, she’s got all sorts of problems happening with her new growth. Makes me big smile too. I do love a freak. Hopefully she can get it together.

Snow Bee aka Bubba Kush
Seed from The PNW Seed Fairy
Age: 7 Days

That’s it from my menagerie of misfits. Thanks for your friendship and support. And I love your guts. Xo

Hey Mr. Krip. Nice to see you here. I’ve not heard the part about hitting the sides triggering flower, but I’m not sure that’s true. I start mine in a clear plastic solo cup with cuts on the bottom for drainage. The clear cup is inserted into a darker cup (I use red). This allows me to pull the clear up out of the red cup to look at the roots. I normally grow them in the solo cup until they start to show flower and then I transplant to their final pot and top. Three gallon plastic pots is my preference. The thing I learned (from @MrSauga) is that you need to start feeding them as soon as they have their second set of leaves, increasing the nutrients at the 3rd and 4th set. I’ve also noticed that the autos prefer the temps a little cooler - 70/80 degrees F. I don’t grow them outside anymore because I personally feel the temps are too hot.

My last Dark Devil run yielded less than an oz. per plant in a tent where a normally get 4-6 oz

Dark Devil is a bitch to grow. I’ve grown 3 or 4 of them and I think one ounce was my best yield. I was so frustrated with DD that I gave away the remaining seeds I had. I love the smoke, but it isn't worth the frustration and time spent.

I'm thirsty for wine whenever I visit here Tra! Today's the day to open up a bottle of local apple wine. Look at little Snow! She's a cutie!

Good morning!

Speaking of thirst, you’re gonna get thirstier after hearing this! Lol

 

[Trala]

Omg good morning legends! And what a fabulous morning it is! I’m totes BIG SMILING!

Short story: my son bought me a mug, I broke it and he replaced it.

Long story: I’m all about things that make my eyes feel happy. Whether that be a child playing, a flower, a mug, I like things that make me happy.

So a silly thing about me, I take my coffee cups very seriously, it provides me my first morning coffee. It needs to be a vessel of absolute beauty. It needs to make my eyeballs shine. So to quickly change gears and reminisce, going back when my son and I were a two personed family we would watch Seinfeld. Every night. We loved it, and to this day we still quote it to each other. Last year my son proudly gifted a Seinfeld cup, inside I was pearl clutching in horror, because gimmick mugs are just not me, I fucking loathe them, but on the outside I was fake beaming, telling him it would be my work cup and it’s perfect blah blah blah. So a couple of weeks ago I broke it at work. I’m gonna be honest, while it was totes an accident, I wasn’t sad about it.

I went to bed early last night, but my son obviously popped in coz I’ve been greeted with this and a note inside. He has found a replacement. And my heart could explode with love. Such a thoughtful thing to do. Such a fabulous boy. He is represents everything I did right. (And judging by his taste in mugs he got just a hint of what I did wrong LOLLLING!). I love it so. fucking. much. He’s defs in the will.

And it’s going straight to my work locker, coz while I’m all loved up right now, it’s waaaaaaay too kitschy for my morning coffee at home. Lolling

Anyway I’m back at the grind (and for those offended by my flirtiness, that’s not meant to sound sexual…I’m totes lying it totally is LOLLLINGGGG) today. Hope you all have the best day!

Shine in you crazy diamonds

Good morning legends!

Bad news: another nightshift tonight
Good news: a day to myself.

Got so many plans, the first being I need to prophylactically nit wash, and yet here I lay, in bed with a coffee doing fuck all.

Just popped down for a squiz and my girls say hey!

Pee is filling the veg tent, and my Bloom Room smells like a perfume factory!

I have just checked for you Tra. They're all looking really great so don't worry, just continue with your lie in, doing as you say!

 

[Trala]

Omg! I missed the memo!

(I pronounced that word as meeeem Moe till just last year. Not even joking! #Kringe4Lyf)

Nit wash

But I’m happy to report, zero nits, so you were on the money

Suns out guns out baby!

Bic taking a direct hit!

Right! I’m off to grab this day by the balls and slayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

Look forward to catching up with the northern hemisphere in their daylight hours for a change. I hope my nightshift is better than my last. That one was just brimming with yuck. I’m looking forward to a do over. As Mother Theresa once said “in a life where you can be anything, don’t be a cunt”. Look tbh, I don’t think she really did ever say that. I made it up. But she was defs thinking it. LOLLLINGGG!

As in photoperiod strains, good genetics = good results. Random white label autos are not going to compare to genetics from breeders like Mephisto, Night Owl, Twenty20 Mendo. It’s all about the breeder.

Warms my heart to see him so touched by your sharing that time together

Pee is filling the veg tent, and my Bloom Room smells like a perfume factory!

Certainly one of the weirdest sentences yet!
Ladies looking great at the pool party!

Now I’m rereading it’s probably in my Top 10 weirdest sentences lollllll

They are all looking super healthy except Bubba Kush. She has defs a touch of the nuff nuffs.

Night shift done

Omg I’ve had a terrible week work wise. I’ve been on since last Friday with two night shifts thrown in. It’s been hard since last Saturday nightshift. Sick people. No staff. And I basically nursed me all week lol. Like sliding doors moment me. One year younger than me. Drug fucked. Housing commission. Rotted teeth. Rotten arse, riddled with scabies and nits. Fighting gastrointestinal issues and cellulitis. Two sons. One one year younger than my son. He’s doing a stretch in jail. The other 16. Already smoking ice. With mum. And my heart broke for her, her boys. It took one person, to see past my poison and see something worth saving. And I was saved. I nursed her with such respect. I speak her language so rapport was quick.

I gave her boy a firm talking to, with love. Real love. Told him I am his mum, his mum is me. We are cut from the same cloth. I lived her life. She was so encouraging for him to listen, I know 16 is too young to examine choice, life. I just want him to remember that lady that said he can have better coz he’s worth it. He is such a nice kid. Despite the smell. Despite the nits lol. Not even joking. So weird how some get saved while others continue to suffer in their own misery.

While it’s been a terrible week, I did get to look back on a life that could have been, and a life that is. Her goodbye to me this morning made my 2023, and we’re only in January. I hope she does the things she promised me she would do.

You gotta be close to harvest, now. How many days of 12/12 are you in? It should be all down hill from here!

 

[Trala]

Day 36 come Sunday.

 

[Mr. Krip]

Day 36 come Sunday.

Wow! They look great for 36 days of 12/12.

I thought you were farther in than that. You still got a good 4-5 weeks left. Yup, plenty of time to still mess up!
