cool man, looking very familiar buddy

[Yarddog]

Northern Light's at 7 1/2 weeks. not smelling anything fantastic, hoping the smoke report is good. these sure didnt frost up like @LED_Seedz stock does. Got me spoiled.

[Yarddog]

Built two boxes for veg. Nice to automate, still making a few adjustments and I have a couple improvements I want to make. Hooking bloom up today.

Whoa @Yarddog! That's a tall drink of water! Beautiful!. 🤠

[Yarddog]

Thanks @oleskool830. It's a white widow fem auto. A friend made some seeds and sent me some. It got much larger than I expected. Much larger than I really had room for.

Got things running smooth. I want to get paver stones to put under the buckets. The hoses are a little too high as they pass through the cabinet wall. In hindsight.
Pavers will give me the right height. A grommet is leaking and has the entire time. I've tried messing with it. It's very slight and I put the controller in a drain pan anyway so I'm honestly not worried about it. I see it kinda like an oil leak.

It looks like it maybe wants to go another 3-4 weeks at least, maybe that has something to do with it?

[miyagi]

Grow's looking great btw!

@Yarddog that is the biggest auto I've ever seen.

[Kraven]

I'm saying the same too....wonder if he got some 75% since they breed funny??

[Yarddog]

@grower13 I originally planted two. I was just going to run them off to the side in veg. After three weeks I threw one away. And this one got too big for veg and had to go in the bloom cabinet. I was away for two weeks and I swear it grew 16 -20 inches in those two weeks.
It's nothing but popcorn buds, it's about 60 days now. I trimmed maybe five leaves off it and two lower branches during its life. It grew naturally.
It's been fun to grow and watch, but I simply cannot leave the photo-period plants.

[Yarddog]

White widow auto approx 72 days. The cabinet shot is Northern Light's

[legalcanada]

do you root clones in the jiffy pucks with good success?

[Yarddog]

Pretty good success. Prolly 3 out of 5 root for me. Cold temperatures really hurt my rooting ratio. I use a dome, and a heat mat.

[legalcanada]

i think i'll try that next time. i tried rooting cuttings in cups of water last time and i got maybe 50% success after 3 or 4 weeks, the other ones probably would have rooted with more time still. warmer temperatures probably would have helped too, was about 60-65 degrees in the room they were in.

i think you can get those at dollarama and it comes with a dome, i'll check them out next week

[Yarddog]

White Widow returned 2.47 oz dried to 59% rh. Not bad for a plant that went 83 days from seed. Spent most of its life in the veg space, got too big and moved it to bloom for the last couple weeks.
Smoke is ok.
While this auto impressed me, I don't see myself moving from photo-period plants. Can't clone an auto. And that's where the autos lose appeal to me.

[oleskool830]

So you say the potency is lacking compared to your photos? 🤠

[Yarddog]

I wouldn't say that. The extent of my smoke reports are; taste like weed. Gets me high

The fact that you cannot clone and therefore maintain a cut for years is the deal breaker for me.
That's not to say I won't ever run autos.
Maybe I'll grow a cabinet full if I get bored. It would get me some diversity in the weed jar bank.

[Yarddog]

The next set getting ready to flip. 4 dianna75, an icookie, sunshine daydream, grassmonkey, and a bpu.

The overflow space. Only have two bulbs screwed in, 18 watts.
Cuts I am holding.

[Yarddog]

Dianna75, Icookie, Sunshine Daydream, BPU, Grassmonkey 14 days after flipping to bloom. starting to get buds forming now
The seedlings are Super Lemon Haze x Oregon Lemon, Dreamgurl x 818 Headband, Timewreck, SSSH x Killing Fields, and just dropped 6 Bambi (Cherry OG x GDP)
