G’s first autoflower grow

@SubzeroIceKold first plant is a bit more spaced out nodes, took her time starting to bulk up buds and finally just got enough resin on some sugar leafs for a rub and hot damn, she’s even sweeter grapefruit candy than #2! #2 (first one in the close ups, second from left in the tent) is much fatter and was flowering and stretching more before #1, happily chugging along!
I forgot to upload pics of the triple leaflets I’m getting a lot of on mostly the #2, but also some on the #1, but not my other plants so I’m thinking genetic?

I’m especially not sure when to stop nutes though, my soil is pretty good to start and I’m using a small amount of fox farm trio every couple waterings along with the Hygrozyme lineup and some myco. Inclined to just give 1, maybe 2 more feeds of tiger bloom along with some agsil in between then just water. Haven’t seen any signs of deficiency or even tip burn the whole time so far, so I’m super happy!

Sorry about that I renamed my GB version to Nebula because that’s my version haha. And Pinot noir x Nebula is Galactic Grapes now but that’s … up in the air. Half official. We’ll see how this goes I e got two of every cross I made last year running currently.

Yah of course man! Happy to be a tester for these and so far everything is great :grin:
Just wish I had my heat situation in the tent worked out before planting so they got a more vigorous start but I’m glad I have more!

And nice setup there, gotta have the smoking station close by for when you want to get stoned and look at and talk to the plants :joy:
And I’m guessing you transplant up yah? I was so worried to with autos since people say not to but after realizing if you just do it fairly early starting in a smaller pot wouldn’t really be an issue

Hahaha bro. Almost but ima set up my gaming station in there !! :smiley:

Oh yeah I don’t like transplanting but I already did from a solo cup. But ima grow them in a 1 gal just fine :stuck_out_tongue:

Damn bro, how am I just catching this???
Thanks for the tag @SubzeroIceKold.
I bet @Going2fast would enjoy the read.

GGBG, amazing grow bud. Love you’re solo cup entry! Oh, and I’m so glad that I’m not the only dumbass that’s killed babies with an accidental isopropyl alcohol spray! :rofl:
Yes, my water spray bottle is now a different size and blue while the rest are now smaller and red in color, lol.

I’ll be trying to keep up with ya.
Much love!

Thanks @blowdout2269, coming along nicely so far!

haha yah i immediately changed the alcohol to a smaller, different bottle than the water!
And ill have to try another solo grow sometime, the can and cup in this tent got thrown in the back and i quickly got too lazy to finesse them out from the back between the full size autos and the light, so they’ve been severely neglected!

Been fairly bad at taking pictures, flowering got off to a fast start but here we are at day 83 today, pictures are from Saturday, day 79 from seed.
The left of the 2 PN x GB never got very tall with the LST I gave her so the top cola on the right plant was getting a bit high light intensity trying to give the left plant decent light… top cola was at 1100-1150ppfd for a week or so, noticed a few nanners starting shortly after the fan leaves tacoing and sugar leaves curling up a bit from the light.
Left plant is fine, much smaller less pronounced buds, maybe would have done better if she got over like 600ppfd for all of flower
3rd from left is a brandon rust auto, hasn’t been impressive at all the whole run, not great structure, sort of odd growth, but a wonderful bubblegum smell, really hoping that carries over to a nice flavor in the smoke!
And far right in the small pot and the 5 gal bag are both mosca tres grapes sky. Absolute chonker in the grow bag, soda can main cola with giant egg size lateral branch colas, super dense all around.
Only one with milky trichomes so far is the mosca in the 6 inch plastic pot

Day 88 from seed today, still looking a ways off for all but the purple mos a plant in the small pot
Guess I could have given another couple feeds of calcium at the very least :grimacing:
@SubzeroIceKold the PN x GB #2 that was closer to the light and getting around 1100 ppfd for a week or so before I moved the light up and turned it down a bit is throwing a bunch of nanners for the past week or so, getting worse and worse :fearful: I’m guessing it was the light stress but still looking like mostly clear trichs and don’t want to chop, but might have to because I can’t keep up with these :banana:s
Chinked in the back right looks like it could go another 2 weeks :man_facepalming:
I thought autos were supposed to be quick :joy:

That’s a bummer, must be the Mephisto genetics the light and cal mag stress…mine haven’t hermed and no one else’s but it’s good to know.

those look chopable….thsnk you for testing the fuck out of them haha ! I’ll keep this noted for others. I don’t know if I’ll keep working with this line I have a couple they smell intense but we’ll see how the high is.

Chop if they r giving you trouble !

Haha yah I figured that was a good stress test, I use wollastonite for calcium for the most part and Epsom salts if I need a mag boost. Noticed some brown spotting and other signs of later stage calcium deficiency like a week or so into water only around 63 days ish, gave a small dose of general hydroponics calmag after that then back to water only since. Had nicely amended soil but def wasn’t near enough calcium loaded into it early on. The #1 plant is looking great though, not quite as big of buds but she’s super happy, wonderful sweet candied fruit smell from both still!
Trying to wait for a little more milky atleast for chop, def don’t think she’ll make it to any amber but we’ll see :man_shrugging:

Dude … yeah I have one that’s so picky and the other one super happy and thriving. I mean both are but the first one gave me a hard time the first week then it quickly came to

I think if I went forward with this one I’d like to breed that sensitivity and pickiness out. Then move into the intersex traits and lessening them.

We will see how the smoke is…I really like these terps as they r very acrid for being an auto…very sour.

They look like they’re getting close… :+1:

What light schedule are you using for them? Did you adjust it at all when they started to flower (or maybe to help them transition), or has it been consistent from the start? Any changes in temperature?

(I’m running my first auto-flowers, and am several weeks behind you.)

18/6 since seed, no changes other than slowly ramping up PPFD/DLI. Antsy for these to finish so I might knock a couple hours off the timer and see if that does anything. Probably going to harvest atleast the 1 plant that’s giving me trouble with nanners in the next couple days.
Day 89 from seed today so I was definitely counting on them being done by now but 2-3 are still looking atleast a week out

Chopped the mosca tres grapes in the small pot and the @SubzeroIceKold PN x GB in the can yesterday, mos a smells like sour grape skittles!
And the bigger of the 2 main PN x GB that was throwing a bunch of nanners today. First one has a nanner or 2 coming out, not covered like the bigger of the 2 though. Both smell great and I tried a little tester lower of the nanner girl yesterday and it was super tasty citrusy!

Annnnnnd tragedy strikes…
Harvested the second @SubzeroIceKold plant and the DANG 2 days ago, and I was giving the last plant some time for trichomes to mature a bit more and just noticed some bud rot today… the whole plant was massive thick colas, humidity has been about 40-45 day, 53ish with lights off, guess I should have seen it coming….
How does anyone else deal with having a veg tent and flower tent in the same room/next to each other with drastically different humidity?
My dehumidifier in the basement keeps the basement at about 45%, won’t really go lower than that depending on the season because it’s an old unfinished stone wall basement. The humidifier in the veg/seed starting tent is pumping all day to keep that tent at about 55%, causing the dehumidifier to run constantly.
Wondering how anyone else handles this…
Super bummed, about 8.5oz wet weight being tossed to the trash…
Saved a couple branches furthest from the main cola and scoped them to make sure they’re clean :man_shrugging:
Hopefully it didn’t spread to the plants I chopped 2 days ago and put in the dry tent with others chopped 8 days ago :man_facepalming:
Guess I’ll be spending my day sanitizing my tent and grow space :grimacing:

Here’s what left of the Mosca “tres grapes sky”
11.4oz wet in the trash after meticulously going through and bucking most buds and cutting the tops of all the colas and scoping all over…
So utterly bummed to be hit with the dreaded bud rot, especially thinking my conditions were good.

What’s the best way to dry these bucked buds now? On top of the bag somewhere with airflow, in the bag, on a wire rack? Not sure what to do to salvage the little bit that’s left

It seems everyone got to stress test this random pollen chuck. I’ve been stressing the shit out of it with heavy light and bad feeding. So far not too bad lol

I’m hoping that mine throws nanners so I can see a correlation….one of the grandparents of the strain Zalmadelica express is known to bring intersex traits. It’s such a good strain but I also brought Mephisto and they don’t really test their stuff… so who knows lol

I’m hoping the high is good if not :put_litter_in_its_place:

How was the high on the tester nug

The one I harvested second, the smaller of the 2 far left in group photos, had a couple nanners at the end, but nowhere near the mass on the other bigger one. Could have been more stress from too much light on that one for a bit since it was taller too.
Tester bud wasn’t fully dried but tasted nice and sweet, don’t have any notes on the high really because it was just 2 snapper bowl packs worth and I’m sure I had something else in my system from earlier in the day :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
I’ll give a report when I have an actual smoke of it, that first one might be ready to start trimming today, just had to deal with the bud rot plant first…
Both were pretty light on nutrients too, between how fast the growth cycles change and me not having experience with autos before to know how much of what they need when, and because I expected them to finish a bit earlier and started water only like a month ago :sweat_smile:
