Dang looks yummy yummy…I plan on pollinating a couple of branches ofMauwiWowie x CheryBomb assuming out of the 6 seeds i get a nice male lol seems when ever i want males i do not get them.

Yes spidermires are wicked.i always take new acquired plants to the shower,sit them on the ledge and steam bath,then thoroughly rinse on a soft spray setting,then wash in safers soap,and neem oi,l which i need to get more of…Then inspect them 3 or 4 times a day in a seperate area.7 days goood to move if no signs appear.

Insects in flower sucks.I feel ya.

2 Auto Flower Northern Lights

@Gpaw thanks bro.Much appreciated hoping for 1male and 1 female to cross pollinate with the strains i have going.My creations will be coming your way when done…Do you remember what week they started flowering?.I am going to soak the beans and put them in 3gal bags to grow

Gpaw · September 21, 2020, 6:55pm

Yes, RQS said 5 to 7 weeks flowering and they worked out to just short of 7.
They went about 3 weeks and a day or two in veg before showing signs of flower.

Here is a link to that grow.

Thanks bro just read through your thread again and checking out the link on your page.I seen you used 5gallon pots,did they rootbound.was thinking of 3gal fabric pots for growing them.

SmknCanuck · September 21, 2020, 7:36pm

Grow 3 coutesy of @Gpaw
Beans arrived an hour ago.In the glass they go.
Fem Auto Nothern Lights begins.

I started with 7G pots but I was thinking they were overkill - so I tried 5G’s.
The plants were happy in the 5G pots not root bound at all. They should do fine in 3 G pots but I expect you will have to feed them.
I originally was using “the original smart pots” (black felt type material) but they stretched and lost shape after 3 grows.
I liked the look of the Rizopots (recycled plastic) at the hydro-store so I used them and I had one unused black felt for that grow.
The darned plants liked the felt pot somewhat better than the Rizopots.

The excitement of getting the autos today is kicking in.Off to prep the 3gal grow bags.@Gpaw these will go in the fabric bags i grabbed from the dollar store.

excited man cant wait too see cheers

Gpaw · September 21, 2020, 8:16pm

It is printed in negative in the pressure sensitive adhesive. You can only see it when you open the package (and get the light hitting it right helps).

found my photo

Cool good to know.In 2000 i was mailed 20 seeds of Acapulco Gold that were 25yrs old was able to get 12 of 20 to sprout.From a member on the original OG.Made a root heat system from my shed.Had a 50gal drum with 2 aquarium heaters to keep the water at 90f,buried 200ft of garden house from my shed to my plot with the hose buried a foot in the ground ran it like in floor radiant heat through the plot and back to the drum.And had a submersible pump in the drum that pumped the heated water to through the hose and back to the drum.Grew the satvas in Toronto till 6in of snow fell on them dec 8th.Needed another 4weeks to finish.But still ended up with some killer 12week flowered original Acupoloco Gold bud.

Wanna Live an Oregon Huckleberry my only plant i named and my fav for his will to live.Growing thick stems and starting to bust out leaves now as being on deaths door as a new seedling.

So the ghetto humidome and ghetto heat pad seems to be working perfect together.Air temp is 77 with 75% humidity and tray temp on the heat pad for rooting is 82f.No leaf transpiring which is perfect for rooting to take place.Cuttings 12hrs after taking them.pics speak for them selves.

For cuttings i had a stainless steel bowl with 78f water in it,i clip my cuttings and put them straight into the bowl.I remove the lower foliage under water and then cut the stem under water at a 45angle then place directly in a cup.by doing this it helps prevent air blocks in the stem.
