Well you know you don’t have to necessarily have to grow autos in a tent. All they need is to grow under a light. So anywhere in your house you can hang a 100w - 200w light you can very successfully grow an autoflower plant. It will also allow you to see that autos like photos will grow horizontally if given room around them.
I just got in two new strains from Atlas Seeds that are now being considered as possibilities for this run. I got GMO8 auto and Froot by the Foot auto from Atlas. I’m going to be running two plant as it looks right now but maybe three. Choosing which one to reverse is always a last minute thing as I like to see which of the two or three plants is performing the best during their first two weeks of growing and that one always earns reversal points based on vigor and structure.
Dude, I’ve never chopped in the amount of days stated on a strain pack. Its just not a thing. I pretty much always go 12-13 weeks on autos. One of the last strains I grew I was told 9 weeks is your money spot. Mine went 13 and in my opinion, I chopped it early.
Good to know! These didn’t have any days on the strain pack cause they are illuminautos. But i just saw people on reddit chopping in the 60’s (days). I have finally learned they are just done when they are done and after 8-9 weeks i just check trichomes every few days. But yeah i have never had anything photo or auto finish in 9-10 weeks. its always longer. I figured people must be counting their days from different starting points lol.
Very good point! Maybe I will find a place. I just like the tents because my spot is very dry during this season so the tents help me get the humidity up. I have a 4x4 tent that I haven’t set up because I really need a good light for it. I have everything else I need for it.
I’ve started ignoring the breeder recomendation and letting them go a longer too, with good results. I used to think “oh well autos must be different” when I didn’t see amber, but now I’ve just let them go if there’s no amber.
I just got a whole new bud growth spurt starting when Mephisto said they’d be finished, on a couple of “Toof Decay”'s.
The Double Grape is looking healthy and good except for some orange spots on the left leaf. I am recycling my soil now, maybe that batch was too hot with nutrients? Otherwise it is plugging along.
The blood orange haze was way behind and it’s finally starting to grow again. It’s first leaves came out looking strange in the color and pattern. Again, maybe it’s my recycled soil?
Ready for these to have a burst of growth. I have to go out of town for a few days so I am quite worried about all my babies but I can’t wait to see how they have grown when I get back.
Hey @Rhino_buddy, I know we haven’t chatted yet – I hope I am not being too imposing – if you ever have a spare clone of that Orange Cheesecake lying around, I would love to work out a trade. I failed to clone mine and absolutely love the stuff… Orange Cheesecake had some of the best terps and highs in my collection, and I run lots of heirlooms
I have some nice strains I will happily offer in trade. I apologize if this post is off base, if so LMK and I will remove it, I have been looking for a replacement of my lost OC for a while.
Hey buddy! It’s one of my faves! I’m hoping I can bring her back. It was looking pretty sad after my last surprise trip to the hospital in Wisconsin. Looks like some new growth at the tops so looking positive. As soon as I get some clones rooted I’ll let you know. I grew a cut indoor and it ended up lome green. I grew a cut outside and it was some solid purple bud. Tasted the exact same though. Maybe just temps. Still one of my favorites. If I don’t get back to you in a few weeks, remind me. I’m happy to share.
Interested in what you’ve got too. Thanks for inquiring @herojuana.tom .
Well I’m back and ready to make some autoflower seeds. I’m only going to have room for just the one auto so I’ll be working to make some S1 seeds. The strain I’ve chosen is…
I grew this once about 3 years ago and liked it quite a lot. Looking back I feel like my growing skill level at the time didn’t give this one every opportunity to thrive so I want a do-over. Plus I’m down to just three Hubbabubbamelloscope seeds. I am going to scarify the heck out of one of the three seeds and get it in a shot glass this evening.
Awesome! I will pop another white creme and a girl scout monkeys into shot glasses tonight as well. I also plan to update the thread with some photos of the autos here in a few hours.
Yep, and oh so tired but I got first place in the lowest division in the main tournament haha. I can now justify buying myself a puffco proxy with the money I won.
Awesome! I hope to have a good turnout for the first growmie meetup. Even if it’s just you and me that would still be awesome. I have gotten some RSVPs tho.
Photo update on the auto tent. Also, I did put those beans into water last night. Blood Orange Haze is still very small but hopefully its just about to blow up haha.
