ReikoX's Auto Projects

No, I thought about it, but decided I had too many irons in the fire already.

I mostly run photos, but itā€™s fun to have a quick fling with another girl on the side once in a while. :wink:

@ReikoX do you remember what the differences were between the UV1 and the UV2?

Four Lowryder#2 x Ultraviolet #1 seedlings and three Lowryder#2 x Ultraviolet #2 seedlings moved outside under the sun today.

Each one had a circle of Slug Gone wool pellets added to their tops, because slugs are such a major issue in WA state.

Do those pellets work and are they just wool?

The Ultraviolet #1 was a tall vigorous plant with decent potency, but lower yields. Ultraviolet #2 was shorter, less potent, and decent yields. Neither one had purple buds, though they did fade with some purple. I havenā€™t grown females from either crossed, so I canā€™t say what the Lowryder male did to them. Here is a picture of #1

@gordongecko they work better than anything else Iā€™ve tried and theyā€™re wool waste, nothing else. They last for almost a year before they break down and feed the soil. Perfect lazy inexpensive solution!

@ReikoX hehe, weā€™ll know what lr2 brings to the party soon enough!

The Juanita is still alive, barely. I only sprayed her twice, but was heavy handed when I sprayed them. Next time I will be more selective, the colloidal silver was not as harsh on the plant. It doesnā€™t help that I have been giving her/him extra large doses of LITFA.

Other than that, the treatment is indeed working. @itza419,
here you can see several male flowers forming. It doesnā€™t take a whole lot of pollen to make a lot of seeds, so this should be sufficient. I need to begin planting the other seeds so they are ready to receive pollen as these are opening up. For those of you paying attention, this reversed pollen will be used on the Freedom Dream autos gifted to me by @legalcanada. So, itā€™s about time to get those into some rapid rooters.

Fascinating @ReikoX. Iā€™m very interested in this and will scratch out a cool spot and watch. You never go wrong with LITFA! :cowboy_hat_face:

I saw my girl todayā€¦ Forgot to get some shotsā€¦ Being outside I ran into an issue thoughā€¦ Itā€™s my first year in this area and what happens around this timeā€¦ Some trees, Iā€™m unsure of what kind, have released their seed in the form of the densely floating clouds of cotton like fibers attached to the seedā€¦ Long story short the flowers are covered in this fuzzā€¦ I picked the majority of it off but thereā€™s still lots I just canā€™t seem to getā€¦ Anyone have any advice as to how I could get rid of these assholes? Lol

Sorry I donā€™t have any pics, I forgot my phone today when I left the house.

No other issues, next time I will selectively spray the internodes and use a bigger plant. Other than that, two sprays and itā€™s working.

We call those trees cotton woods out here. You can try rinsing the buds at harvest. Get a 5-gallon bucket of room temperature RO water dip the branch, then dry and hang. The trichomes shouldnā€™t be harmed is you are gentle.

I referred to them as cotton wood here and those around me were clueless so Iā€™m just gonna keep going with thatā€¦

Anyway, that was going to be the planā€¦ I donā€™t see it working well since the buds have some time yet to grow and swellā€¦ Guess Iā€™ll have to just pick them out when I smokeā€¦ I wanted to press some of this in a hair straightenerā€¦ Looks like Iā€™ll have to get some of those screens they use since I canā€™t squish whole buds with these damned things in it.

The Juanita I reversed looks like she is about to start shedding some polen. Time to isolate her (him?) from the rest of my grow.

Now time for the next phase of my project, Iā€™m soaking five Freedom Dream I got thanks to @legalcanada. These will go in my little 1x1x2 box.

@ReikoX, I ordered some STS, it is supposed to be here by this coming Wednesday. When should I start using it. I have 3 sweet tooth plants that have just showed their lady parts and no males this round. Probably the seedling I accidentally dried out would have been a boy. Thatā€™s how my luck runs. Is it too late for these to reverse on? They showed sex on 6/14.
