WheelO's - 360#2 - Auto Collection galore

good news bad news update.

bad news,

most of the seeds i bought have bit the dust. oh well, I prob. shouldn't have even tried to germinate them when I am so busy, i can't monitor them closely enough to do it the way i like doing it.

I tried something new and failed. but i think i know what i did wrong, so hey, live and learn. I'm not sweatin it. half of them were free anyways, lol.

I still have not had the time to fix my heat problem. i have the door open and fans, which work for now, but it is not stealthy, and probhits me having guests :( needs to be fixed before i have a visitor in early july at the latest

good news,

I have auto lemon skunk fem's on the way, should be here next week.

The 4 Snow ryders are looking great. . . man talk about TIGHT INTERNODES!!! these are the shortest plants I have ever seen, with a brilliant resistance to stretching. the stems from the second set of leaves are actually touching the seedling leaves on 2 of them, and the others are not far above.

I have the few sprouts that made it in the wheel now too, i hope they're fems, lol.

I got my trimeter while I was away, and it is up and running now, but i have ran out of calibration solutions, so its not right yet. i will get some more solution tomorrow.

i am gonna order some more snowryders i think. in memory of the lost seedlings. lol. these ones look so friggen sweet, I want more. and it will keep me a bit more mono culture so I will make my nute reg a bit easier on myslef.

pics after I make them pretty.
 
oh btw, tor,

yeah, before owning one, i hadn't considered the limiting factor of the effect of plant size vs. shrinking canopy radius. the shorter the plant, the larger the sog area.

thats why i think these short auto suckers might do really well, stuffed to the limit.

I will have ample seeds in 10 weeks, al fems. then it will be rock and roll.
 
here is how I am cooling the space.

4 days from last pics, they are continuing to grow nicely. a few more days till STS. When the first one shows fem, I will spray a different one that same day.

man, the second branchs are touching the seedling leaves

lol, pit. . . how cute they are.

i wish I had 80!

i didnt dig them either, until I leaned how to make fem seeds. now i think they're the shit. and the dwarf aspect just puts them over the top in this system. . . but i don't want to get ahead of myself until I have real success with them.
 
Hey WOF,
Nice healthy looking youngins there, very tight internodes. I think you will be happy with those in the wheel.

I was flipping through one of the binders and he had a section on AF strains. I see your experimenting with AF strains so I thought I would share. Of all the AF strains he turned (about 12) he really liked the Feminised Automatic White Moscow (White Russian x Lowryder 2) germination to harvest in 10 weeks. He says it's definitely worth the time vs the yield. He records plant heights at 15" at harvest. Killer smoke with a THC of about 17%.

I guess it depends what cycle your looking to run on the wheel, he has strains listed from 6 - 12 weeks. Of course the 10 - 12 week harvests are more for the connoisseur smoker where as the 6 week harvests, are more for the gorilla grower...

BTW, thanks for the food for thought, I may do a journal on my next turn. I'm already in week 5 of this turn, so I may consider it the next time round.

Cheers,
OD

This comment makes me think about TightBuds comment/question in Maxx's thread about what wattage light to choose.

They'd be some toasty tips with a 1000 watter in there I'd imagine; or at least a constant battle to prevent it
 
I have heard of "light poisoning" with some plants getting too close to 1000 watters. Not a burning, but a bleaching of the chlorophyll with the tops losing all color. I don't recall if I was told how it smoked after that. No, no dood this is the smack, it's called Ohio Albino, it's solid crystal man.

Cheers,
Maxx

OntarioDude, I hope you one day have time to scan the information contained within your binders into .pdf files or something. I bet much of it would make excellent sticky thread material in a potential Wheel forum; it's looking like there is increasing interest and almost certainly plenty of lurkers. I've been wondering how many views these threads have been getting from members and guests.

Oh, and I am personally curious as to which 10-12 week strains the author of your info felt was worth growing in a setup with limited space/plant. I would think that there must have been something special about them to deal with that long of a flowering period in a wheel.
 
still exploding growth:

and a couple of the seedlings that made it through my lack of attention:

autofem lemon skunk still on the way,

gonna order more seeds soon. ( I can always start a bunch of LR#2's i have)
have to make a run to the hydro store first for more RW and some meter calibration sol.
 
actually, the LS just got there today.

but I am not gonna make the same mistake again, as I am too busy right now to start them right, I will wait a few days till i have the extra time.
 
sorry propa, i dont understand?

800/g?
 
lol. thats ok,

yeah, doesn't really mean anything.

but i feel your point, my wheel is feeling pretty hungry after that mishap.
at least i can start these lemon skunk, and i should be able to get some more soon, actually, this is turning out ok, not filling it and just steady feeding it new girls. i should get a pretty continuous supply for myslef in a couple months.

also in a couple months i should have a steady supply of seeds to make her happy, and then i can decide if i want to run a massive monoculture all at once.

considering yield/seed. it is still cheaper than buying it on the street, and much much much better/safer/funner.

:rofl: I had just finished a session with the Volcano when I read this post... I took one look over at the two 3" 3 ring binders with about 500 pages in each, with writing on both sides of the pages and thought, I'd rather do another vape :rofl:

But seriously taking 1000 pages of hand written material scanning them into PDF files doesn't sound like just couple of hours work.... Some of the notes look like math equations, still trying to figure those ones out...lol

You were curious as which strains he ran in the wheel with results; here is some of the notes from one of his grows. It actually looks like a pedigree....

Speed Queen (f)
SQH (f)
Queen Haze Hush (f) Haze (m)
Hindu Kush (m)

Batch #3 ------

White Russian (f)
White Russian Mazar (m)
Mazar (m)

I may need to be corrected if I am interpreting this wrong, But it seem like he took a Speed Queen (f) and crossed it with haze = SQH (f) then crossed that with Hindu Kush (m) = Queen Haze Hush (f) crossed that with his White Russian Mazar cross = Batch #3 seeds

Further on down the same page he seems to have grown some mothers from the Batch #3 seeds, then took clones at the second nodes, rooted them and veged for 10 days topped them and put into wheel for 11 weeks. He catalogs all the growth rate progress and results...

Personally a little beyond my scope of growing...lol.. I am trying my hand at "Growing in the Wheel 101 Class", ... :yummy: not anything like I have tried to explain above. This guy had been doing grows with decades of soil, Hydro & DWC experience. I don't see myself having the time or the knowledge at this stage to play forensics or trying to duplicate the above crosses which probably took quite some time before he ended up with batch #3. Mind you I would love to get my hands on some of these Batch #3 seeds and start from there, because after reading his closing notes on this grow, he had some really killer weed with a long lasting high.

Well back to the Volcano......

Cheers,
OD
