Auto melonade runtz. 2 plants in understairs cupboard.

Here are the 2 new recruits, 4 weeks old. Seeds were soaked in a cup of water for 2 days then planted in miracle grow potting compost in 1kg peanut butter pots.
I am a new indoor grower, started in December with autos. Now have a good free supply for my 2 joints in the evening.
This strain is meant to give a better yield for an auto. I will weigh the dry buds at the end.
I have a philizon led lamp. An unbranded one that gives a pinkish light and a normal led daylight bulb.
The miracle grow has 6 weeks feed in it. In 2 weeks I will start to feed. I will be updating this weekly.

Time to repot the girls. Using a peanut butter pot to start them works well, no drainage holes so roots don't get a grip. They slide out easily without disturbing the roots.
Now in 3 gallon buckets with drainage holes.

I think these will be the last autos I grow in the cupboard. Yield too small.
I have some 7 gallon fabric pots I bought online which should be ok for photos.
I have melonade runtz photo seeds which I will start 1st week September. 2 plants will be enough for that room.
Last plant I harvested was an auto chocolate cream. 32 grams dry weight.
Not complaining, I've harvested 3 of them since I started the room last Christmas but I want to have 2 photos producing maybe 3 Oz each. These 2 autos should be ready start July. Mid July Going away to France till start September so room will be idle.

I have started a guerilla grow in southern France. Usually leave plants to the elements here, but get a poor yield. Have set up a drip feeder. 60 seconds every 3rd day. Gives about half a pint to each plant. Only seeds now so should be plenty for a month. Back again in June to start off 4 photos. These 4 are autos. 3 melonade runtz auto and one auto chocolate cream.
In June farmer will harvest the wheat and plant sunflowers or maize. They get 2 crops a year here. He won't notice anything. Big Aircon tractors. Hopefully I'll get a good harvest myself. Forecast dry. Maybe 3 days raining in May.

The little hose wanted to float on top. That would have been no good.

The 2 girls under the stairs coming on. Will be back in France in a month or so to see how the outdoor ones getting on. Will need to add feed to the jerry can.

Just watered the plants under the stairs. Added tomato feed, high in potassium.
The 2 youngsters look like different strains. Came from a sealed packet.
Also 2 older girls close to harvest look completely different. One very stringy. Smells nice, hopefully a good smoke.
I hope the guerilla girls in France ok.

I suppose there must be the odd plant that takes after one side. These strains are all cross breeds. A lad I know used to breed jack Russell's. In the same litter you could have big differences, long legs, short legs, wide heads, narrow heads.
Let's see how they smoke.

Jack Rusell? Do you mean Jack Herer? Isnt Jack Rusell a dog breed? Maybe someone named it that way but I never heard of it. If its Jack Herer the thin one is showing the foxtail sativa pheno. Good stuff never had a full foxtail pheno but I definetely like when my Runtz foxtails.

Hi the jack Russell's were dogs. Small terriers.
The stringy plant is an auto chocolate cream. I had 6 seeds, 2 identical grew 30 inches high loose buds. Another one grew 48 inches high and different to look at. 4th one fat buds more solid, and this stringy one different again.
The last seed is on an outdoor guerilla grow in France I started off 2 weeks ago.
Now I know this one described as foxtail. Sativa has a different buzz. Looking forward to that. Thanks for the info. Still new at this game.

That pink light should do the job early on, but once they get bigger, consider a better full-spectrum light if you can.

Hi I have 2 grow lamps in there, plus a daylight bulb. Thinking of getting a bigger lamp. It's only a small space, I've read better lighting gives higher THC. Though I don't grow much, just for myself but want it as good as I can get it.

In the cupboard an auto chocolate cream. I took the top buds a week or so ago and left the lower ones as not ready, too many white pistils. I've done this with 2 plants previously of the same strain. But this one has now seeded. I looked in the drying box and the ones I picked from the top have no seeds and drying out nicely.
My question is would cutting off the top buds have put the plant into shock and caused this?
Next question is will these seeds be any good?
Will they be female? Or would they turn hermi?
The 3 other plants in the cupboard girls, one nearly ready and no sign of seeds. Plus I've never had a boy in there, so can't be any residues of pollen in there.
