Morning @Royal, I’ve not run an auto / photo-period comparison, but I do have one in progress with the Russian Tzar Bomba.
Today its day 30 since it started Veg and this Auto is bursting at 36cm
The photo-period produced a linebacker of a plant, much like @smokenhike’s LSD. And this AutoFlower below certainly has some attitude
I Love it , someone who knows phenotypes, strains. Thanks for precious technicals @MissinBissin you have a glorious collection , thanks For Sharing y,all OGers…
OverGrow The World with Heirlooms ,an Landraces …carry on love is coming, Peace
@calman1955 FiNaLlY running this TZAR auto, its been since 2022 when I ran the photo-period, outside. No expectations but if the autos are even close to how good the photo-period was, its a win.
Back to the Jr. Squirrel Tail, I’m game and capable of taking it apart for you. If you have any favourite videos… let me know (ahem cannabis related lol ) AND I’ve never prepared a plant’s crown … separate-subject; If anybody can help me get my around that 3d challenge, I’d love to talk. See what I can find.
in the meantime, She’s growing like fricking Mad right this second…
fresh pics 2nite. (front 2nd from the right)
Everybody got fed this evening
I lost track of where we are, somewhere week 19-20?
Bhadra looks content to take another 20 weeks 
Looking good. Thanks for sharing the ambition on this one. LOOOOONG flowers.
We are day 3 of week-19 @FieldEffect.
Your Squirrel Tail is starting to look zombie-ish as well @MissinBissin ! Only 20 more weeks!
You HAD TO didn’t ya @Budderton
It just keeps getting longer; 20-weeks to start… then, “that’ll be 24”, now you throw an extra 20-week reminder at me, week 19 LoL
Perma-Squirrel has to be the next TerPinator movie (Schwazzinager)
I have a video with an explanation, which could inspire you for plant modeling, but it seems that they cannot be uploaded to this platform 
A few years back when I had a grand old organic garden 35 feet long 4 feet deep ,with Forty Green
LOGS at the bottom , 7 years 10 percent biochar compost 6 cubic yards. 5 feet wide ,the first cover crop Sun Hemp , the largest nitrogen fixing bean
,roots deter root not nematodes.
Since then I had three Hernia operations thanks Good I survived… @MissinBissin , I’m now moved on not my choice. We have field of home grown…
Peace…
Here are a couple of quick trichome shots from the Squirrel Tail. Lots of clear well defined specimens
I’ll send you my email address. Thanks for the Video @defharo
Much appreciated, I’ll watch it for sure!
Awesome! I’d be taking a sample off the Squirrel Tail just to sate my curiosity at this point.
That Pro-Mix CONNECT is pricey stuff, it doesn’t seem to be readily available yet either. Down here anyway. Definately showing some results there.
I like the application method. Ensures good contact and coverage. Has me thinking about applying some of the other types the same manner. Painting it on literally like paint is brilliant.
I’ve had a brain wave about the 50/50 application I used @FieldEffect
I say 50/50 because half of the material (Connect innoculant) Fell off of the Root-Ball into the substrate bag, when I painted or Smoothed it on with Spatula and Brush
I’ve begun using the small cloth, non-woven bags for Seedlings and then simply dropping them into Chimney applications; gently planting the bags in the surface of the next Pot.
Ie zero stress on the root systems
The Plan NOW, is to simply Paint / SLATHER the innoculant, all over the bags Exterior, and then simply Plant it in the new medium. Roots will grow towards and through it quickly I’m sure !!!
tomorrow or the day after I’ll publish it
If you want to inoculate mycorrhizae, go to a pine forest, dig under the leaves and collect soil, if the soil is around the roots it is better, take that soil to your pot, you can use it for substrate mixtures, or in a pot put it on the top of the substrate and cover it with dry organic matter
That’s essentially the theory of cultivating IMO in Korean Natural Farming 
I don’t know if the technique comes from Korea, this one that I explain is the most basic technique, I handle the capture and propagation of mountain microorganisms quite a bit and the pine forest is the species that contains the most mycorrhizae.
I hear you. In the method called KNF (Korean Natural Farming) there is a practice of collecting wild indigenous fungal and microbial populations by placing a basket of half cooked rice in undisturbed forest soil. The same principle you propose, except in KNF the rice is mixed with sugar in order to have an additive that can be used many times to add life to the soil.
Thank You Gentlemen for the info on Real-World technology. Love it and once again, it makes perfect sense.
I appreciate the info @defharo on the quicker reaction times found in Pine stands. January / Feruary are difficult, but when it comes soil-prep time for OG row…
@HeadyBearAdventures I’ll look into the KNF. merci !
