Winter in North East Ohio

[Crazyformes]

Shit a 4x8.....damn now thats a big bathroom. I could move my working table outside and put it where that is. I may do that for next winter. I should be okay this year. I will turn it into my Frostette tent...

Checked the autoflower this morning, most are still milky white. The buds are swelling nice. I had to give all the plants a taste of water to stop the wilt. One of the heads of this forum taught me to soak the plants at feeding time and then let them dry out. They have to have that wet/dry cycle. With trial and error I found a 4 day cycle works well for my setup. I soak with Greenleaf nutes (1/2 gallon per pot) on day one, at day 3 I will have 1 or 2 start to wilt a bit, I usually give them what I call a taste of water.....on the 4th day its back to soaking.....so I guess its a 3 day cycle....anywho it works well for me. Tomorrow is feeding day, I will get more in depth on my feeding cycle and the Greenleaf nutes (good stuff). I will leave you with a bit of a tour of the Autoflower garden

I'm beginning to see that pattern for mine as well. And when I grow outdoors on the patio in 7 gallon pots, I water every 2-3 days, soaking the whole pot.

I don't know what you use to fertilize, but check out the Greenleaf nutes....so easy, affordable, and never an issue with burnt leaf tips. If you decide to use them, splash me back I will explain the strength I use.

Are you talking about mega crop? It's a very good nute i'm gonna use it again on my next photoperiod run after the holidays. I used it a few years back then swapped it out but i'm coming back to it.

 

[Crazyformes]

Yes, Mega Crop Part 1, Sea Kelp, Bud Explosion and Sweet Candy

I add some Fox Farm Cha Ching, Open Sesame and Beasty Bloomz at the later stages of flower.....they are left over from earlier use of FF nutes. I will see if it makes a difference.

4 days worked well for me. 5 or 6 and I got wilt so I stuck to 4.

Today is feeding day. Like I mentioned I use the Greenleaf Nutrients. Specifically the Mega Crop line. The mix I use is as follows: this is per gallon
For Veg
Mega Crop Part 1. 5 grams
Cal-Mag. 2 grams

For Flower
Mega Crop Part 1. 2.5 grams
Sweet Candy. 2.5 grams
Sea Kelp. 1 gram
Bud Explosion. 1 gram
It is that simple. There are different additives out there that you could use to enhance this mix. But have found out that with just these nutes you will have outstanding results. No reason to over think it.
Today
I mixed up a 5 gallon pal for all my photo and autoflowers. I take out 2 gallons of it for my 4 photo plants, then add 2 gallons of water back to the pail to dilute it a bit for my 10 autos. Everything I've read about autoflowers states that autoflowers don't need as much nutes... also with such a short timeline on autos you don't want to complicate things by over fertilizing.

Last night as I was closing things up I noticed some spider webs on my Bob Barker in tent #1. I soaked it with Capt Jacks Deadbug after lights out. I will be monitoring all tents now. This is the first bugs I've seen since I totally douced all the tents at the beginning of this grow with bleach water and alcohol. No matter what you do they seem to find there way back. I will douce again in 3 days....to kill anything that may have hatched....damn critters.

I'd be very interested in growing a fig...
this horrible hoarder shit is on it's last stage. I moved a ton out, sent a ton to the hoarder's new hovel, been inside walls with bleach and vinegar... SERIOUSLY IF YOU MEET A HOARDER IMMEDIATELY ENCASE THEM IN PLASTIC. It's best they can't walk about freely, do things, or radiate filth. I have to do something style wise with the half bath in my basement now and get the album covers cut to wallpaper the vinyl listening bar area. Make the laser shop make visual sense. Do the stupid tile ceiling.
When I started I wanted to just walk out back and burn myself in protest.

This is the new evolving cabinet, had to put a big hospital bed caster on the door so it stays straight.

Pretty impressive Crazyformes!

This is the space I've been civilizing... alt living room with vinyl bar, little bathroom, my bunker at the end. Originally it was all waist deep in stupid made for TV gadgets and soup from 2016 and shit. Any rational person would have dynamited it all. Thankfully it was all packaged and intact for easy THROWING THE FUCK AWAY.

Just something to stay busy during the winter....let who wants to take the journey with me....help others....be chastised by the heads on this forum when I do something I shouldn't or where me shoes in the tent....

Woke this morning and checked my autos...got one showing amber.
I first started harvesting by doing what I found out was called the wet method. From what I read they mention that by using this method people tend to get a little heavy on the trim and lose alot into your trim bin. I moved to the dry method...
Now that I have done the dry method this whole fall harvest, I am going to re-address the wet method. But be aware of not being to heavy on the trim.....dive into large sugar leaves and snip tips of smaller ones.(being aware of not disturbing the pistils)
I have the Lambsbreath auto on the chopping block first.

I woke at my keyboard because I was up half the night sifting through russian websites for nuclear material lol. It sounds crazy but there is a lot of times you'd genuinely laugh your ass off like a post by a mechanical engineer at Kharkov NPP when it opened describing the maintenance class as "excellent but you know a week maybe it don't live" then going into it a bit like talking about how the weapon material went to one storage and the rest went to another and the regular storage was fancy but the military one was like "it goes in this barrel". Some of the real fun is figuring out what the fuck they're saying even when it's translated- which is why Forest takes some interpretation.

Yes, Forest does...lol. I'm doing this wet trim...these are coming out nice...we will see once they dry and shrink up a little....maybe some more of those sugars will pop out....trim em and call it good.

 

[ChairmanFester]

I trim them off the stalks at like 12 days, right up to the butt of the blossom. Then into the jar but that's all manual, no grove bags or humidity packs. Not because I hate them or anything I just haven't bothered. Carly smells good but it's only at a week in the jar I expect the real flavor at two. I'm getting cheap prerolls and shit so I don't really dig in before it's got it's funk.
I should look into making humidity control packs, it can't be hard and that'd be more interesting.
