Well hey there @Carty Its been a minute!! It’s great to see you here buddy!! Yeah I remember back in the day and the luck you had with your 1st grow and being part of the (,honorary)Celtic crew. We had Bjorn but he didn’t make it . Glad you are doing so well with your autos. I never thought auto’s would be so improved from the original Lowrider. Seems you are definitely making them a staple for many growers. I have a tent with autos in our bedroom now since my stroke made it impossible to reach the growroom for now. So Lady Z is on her own for now and we’re trainto help. boy to help. Nice to see you around man.

Hey old friend… bummer to hear about your heart… praying for a full recovery brother. sucks getting old, I just had my 2nd full hip replacement in 2mos and feels like my butt has been bitten twice by a buck tooth shark… Hammerhead looked funniest in my head… hahaha. 33 staples in each side. 10 days out of 2nd surgery, Dr refused to give me pain meds… wtf right. ah, makes ya tougher right…?
Yeah, remember autos LR1 balcony weed, 2ft plants designed to stay under balcony height in Europe. Once LR2 came out with the addition of Santa Maria in it, people seen the new possibilities and it took off starting the 2nd Gen…
I’m sponsored by Berserker Autos, Goat & Monkey Seeds, Oldsogcoc, Mars Hydro has me testing a TS-2000 for a year, then it’s mine… nice.
Like you I’m counting on Ladybug to do all my watering and lifting as I am not allowed yet. thank god for our badass wife’s eh buddy.
take care, see ya in da forums…

Yeah geeting older sucks but beats the alternative lol …Sorry to hear about your hips buddy. You’re disciption doesn’t sound pleasant haha, but glad you’re hanging in there. I know most Dr’s nowadays aren’t prescribing pain meds…it sucks.
The Joint Doctors LR 1 to me back then was too small and low in THC. and big drawback was you couldn’t clone it. Haven’t tried the LR2 but I’ve heard it was much better with Santa Maria in it and my views on Auto’s definitely changed.
That’s awesome you’re being sponsored and testing for Mars Hydro! We’re still using HIDs on our main grow but have LEDs in my tent that has convinced me and we are planing on switching out the HPS.
Do you remember the first UFO’s, they lacked in yeilds but now I’m seeing nice compact growth This will be my first attempt using them in my new 2x4x5 tent and the plants are happy, no stretching. I’m running 4 Auto’s…
GG-4 (Fast Buds)
NL (RoyalQueen)
Original Sour Diesel (Fast Buds)
Cantaloupe Kush (Mosca seeds)
TBH not sure what to expect. I’m guessing I might need to transfer a plant or two downstairs eventually, depending on how wide they get. Don’t want to crowd them.
Really good chatting with you on here. Brings back memories, but you’ve also showed me through your grows just how great these Auto’s can be. You really show off their potential.

UPDATE!!
Just harvested the Black Sugar Rose!
Plant #1 is bigger, milder smelling, very crystally-- I left about 1/4- 1/3 of her to reveg, despite having a clone of her…not taking any chances on losing these genetics!
Plant #2 is darker, heavier but smaller in over-all stature… heavy big very black buds!
I only harvested about 1/3-1/2 of her and am letting the rest have more time- they are lime green instead of black from not getting enough light. Her trichs say these can go another few days to a week…we’ll see.
Next to get the chop is Cannatonic, then the Bubblegum…
Followed close behind by the Landrace Lebanese!
Next will be the Landrace Turkish- but they have a ways to go…
Icy Grape will be going 12/12 tomorrow with an Ancient OG… and I took one of the Auto’s from Draigs tent, since it was older and much taller than his others- a Northern Lights Auto that I f-ed up and used Gibberelic acid on the seed… she originally stretched like hell- but is making up for it!
Will get photo’s tomorrow!!
Will keep Y’all posted on the progress!
BSR #1- Larger Plant

Definitely! Heavy, greasy and sticky buds… Draig’s got some decent ‘‘scissor hash’’ to smoke now while it dries and cures!
#1 is more sticky-- #2 is so greasy!!! It makes your hands feel like you used baby oil on them to get the resin off!
Both have a rose/fruit/dankness to them
.#1 is demure and mild like a soft perfume while #2 is more ‘in your face’ and a bit more fruity!

@ShiskaberrySavior @Kavman The scissor hash was amazing! I popped some in my old bedside bubbler. It hit fast and hard nice euphoric chatty relaxing to start probable half hr in, then you should be prepared to do nothing, except maybe sleep! Now I know why it’s won so many awards for concentrates. They both taste as they smell, yummy!! 
not bad for dispo bag seed. Asking Santa for a small Rosin press, but belelive I’m
most likely on the naughty list…

Buds are showing some very nice color to them… gotta love anything with the word Black in it. My Black Cream is going dark…
