Hey thanks bud! How’s the reversal going?
I’ve only applied the STS one time. The plant itself is coming along nicely.
I have a buddy on another site who is a member of the Ethos Multipass program and each year he is sent a variety of free seed packs as part of the program. He does not grow autos and reached out to me one day asking if I wanted to buy the freebie autos they had sent him. He said $1.00 per seed and they’re yours so I grabbed them all from him. I’ve grown I think three of the strains and have been pleased with them.
These came in the mail today, a trade for some seeds I had. Hopefully these will perform as well as the freebies.
Well better late then never. Share some of your hard earned knowledge with us all.
Hell brother, I’m just an ol country boy, with dumb ol country boy luck I usually treat mine with STS every 3-4 days even when spraying, instead of the traditional 5. I like the idea of the yucca extract. Where could I source some? I also start my STS treatment between the third and fifth set of true leaves not counting the cots. I’ve tried an online product, colloidal silver and sts. Personally I prefer the sts. A buddy of mine uses eliteXelite and swears by it. He asys that this statement is true: —ONE APPLICATION is all that is necessary with eXe "GOLD’!. A little too pricey for me. Plus I already have a colloidial silver generator and plenty of product to make sts

I lost White Creme B because it never grew past the 1 inch stage. The White Creme C is looking good but now my plan might be busted. Check my mephisto thread for more details. Might have to STS the GSM instead. Looking for advice.
Most places will have it. For sure eBay and Amazon will have it.
I couldn’t find the post you mentioned yucca extract. Are you using it to flush your plants? Foxfarms sledgehammer is organic made from yucca extract and is their organic flush.
Yucca extract surfactant is mixed with the final STS spray to break down surface tension on the plant you’re spraying to it adheres much better thus making it more effective.
Wouldn’t those autos not truly be autos? He’s got the parents listed as a photo crossed with an auto, that would make em a fast finish photo? Bx2 is not that far back on the line either 🤷
So I’m thinking he crossed an auto to a photo and then back crossed 2X bringing them to full auto. Hell I don’t know but I would bet your right testicle that they are 100% auto.
Looking fantastic, so far along. I can’t wait until I figure out how to grow this well, this fast! Mine look like dwarfs compared to yours. I didn’t realize I should already be using STS. I better get on it today. I first need to decide if I am spraying or painting or dropping. Looks like you are painting this time?
Yes, I have not tried painting on the STS so this is an experiment for me. I am new (2 reversals) to using the STS and noticed both times I used it that overspray reversed parts of the plant not intended to be reversed. Trying to see if I can eliminate that by brushing it on.
The HBMS got her second application of STS last night right at lights out. It’s amazing how much bigger the branch I’m treating got in 5 days. I brushed the STS on pretty thoroughly. I had to do a little training, move a couple branches to the side to be able to get to the treated branch and that’s a good thing. Growth is a good thing. Pics from this morning.
Lol. Good stuff
I also snipped off about half a dozen leaves that I felt like were doing more harm then good. With photo plants I do a heavy defoliation right around the time I flip the plants. With autos it is more of a selective process done a little here and a little there so as to not stress the plant. If you can grow an auto ( of good genetics) and provide it with an ideal environment and not stress it you should have a great plant.
I do the same thing with a little bit at a time… Mainly because I like messing with my plants. I’m sure it’s not great for them, but I have a really hands on approach where I play with them all the time. Might explain why they’re always stunted and I get shitty yields
I grabbed a picture this morning of my Cap Junky four plant grow this one with no seeds. I love these plants and this strain.
I hope everyone is having an amazing Monday.
