Thanks for the trip with white widow and super lemon haze, fun grow, fun grow log. Keep on tokin, I'm in week 10, never been there. SS
Have you checked your ambers, and snip off a tester on your next plant to chop.

White Widow? More like Shite Widow. No wonder you threw the last bean away. What breeder made those millet beans?
I'll be testing some of no.2 in 9-10 days as I cut some more of no.1 and it's about dry & ready for cure in jars. SS I enjoy painting.
Lol try giving them a super tiny dose of triacontanol and see how much they stretch lol... never again. A 1 time deal that I learned pretty quick from. Could have used a shot of that when I was a kid.Morning tokers and growers, at last its Saturday, raining here, ducks seem to love it. Got some green bits to show you this morning, came up mid week, pleased to say that the 10 year old Juan Herer seed came up. Its a bit squirrely looking, but its up, two others have poppped, the Pure Kush and the Zkittles, the Amnesia Lemon has not produced a seedling as of yet, and could be a dud, shame, as it was a good toke last time, still might pop, but its getting a bit behind the others, and you know what that means, less light for it to catch up, we'll see. So a three out of four at the minute popped, which is not a bad thing, as I think I only have the space for three full sized plants anyway if I give them the space they need to branch out. A couple of the seedlings look like they may need a crutch next week, again, one day I'll be there when they pop and I'll lower the light, and not allow the seedlings to become leggy. lol
As normal, I planted the seeds in Riot Cubes, quite like these cubes, very handy.

Pure Kush is off, its not hanging about, good stout stem on it. I remember the Zkittles being a big plant last time I ran it, maybe the Zkittles will give the Pure Kush a good run size wise, we'll see, but at the minute, the PK has it in the bag, unlike the Amnesia Lemon .

Once the shoots were up, time to prick out the seedlings and up-pot to some thing bigger, so the seedlings were planted into there final pots. Love seeds and seedlings.
Pure Kush.

Zkitttles. This was a big plant for my space last time I grew it, nice producer and a nice hit too.

Amnesia Lemon. Might be the last appearance this one makes. lol

And there you go, a bit of green stuff showing through, by next week we should have some bigger leaves, and in three weeks we should be ready to flip, just got to get these young plants through the leggy period first, and then they'll take off, then they can start to be fed some thing to make them grow faster. Sticking with the Canna nuits again this run, they're just so easy to get on with, and I like the way they measure out. And that's it for this week, will the Amnesia Lemon turn up, will the seedlings become leggy and fall over, pop back next week and find out, until then, just keep tokin folks.
the amnesia lemons just sitting in the one out one back position ready to let loose..cmon girl ..grow for daddy ..i hope that herer turns into something special ..you havnt a little veg room have ya chem.could take a couple cuts off her maybe.
I used the "Root Riot" pucks to grow or start a few clones and I gave two to my mentor and he said the plants got root bound and died in them?? I've cut a sample of no. 2 she's so good growing I waited another week to snip her. Cheers SS
How did the glycerin work out for you chemistry? Was it helpful in eliminating your mite issues? Also, wondering what you thought about the end product, and if it messed with taste, or any other thoughts on it.Thanks Frank, I'll give it a go, got some Glycerine here, I'll give the Pure Kush a splash and see how it goes, lights are out, so tomorrow morning it will have to be.
Agreed, They hate high humidity bro. They thrive in low humidity, and PM thrives in high.No, not washing Mosh, if they buds are bad, then they will become hash. The mites should get sieved out during the bubble bag process, but if not, then its compost. lol One thing I have noticed during my mite wars, is that they really don't like a high humidity, and I think I had this balanced with the HPS, they always arrive when I start to flower, so you want to be some were in between putting you into bud rot territory, or driving the mites down to the bottom of the plants to keep them away from your buds, and this is what I'm messing with at the moment. May as well do some experiments while I have them.
Agreed, it's the future of cannabis, and I believe even some of these newer photoperiods might be using the traits, actually. It allow shorter flowering times, and lends stability to the light regime, so if you want to wander farther into say sativa traits than was possible before, because of flowering time constraints, or the plant turning herm, injecting auto traits would be the natural answer to that dilemma.Morning tokers and growers, how are you all on this sunny Saturday morning, hope your all well. Plants have just finished week 6 in flower, and starting week seven this morning at lights on, two more weeks to go before chop. The mites are still with us, think the worst is over, no webbing as yet, so still hoping for a return for my effort, the Super Lemon Haze is the most repellent of the strains, good old Barney's. I've still no clue as to what's going on with the White Widow, think its a lost cause, got two weeks to go, and looking at it, it may not be good enough to hash. lol The Holy Punch has to be an auto of some sort, as its the shortest plant of the four, just goes to show that seeds are every thing when it comes to growing, bad or abnormal seeds will just lead you up the garden path. On a brighter note, the Gellato Auto outdoor is down and hung, had a bud from a lower branch to test it, it seemed fine, so its down. Not a bad smoke for an auto, the auto scene is a lot better than it was a few years ago, at one time you would have needed a big bowl on you bong to get off, but nowadays the auto's are nearly as good as the non auto strains, a very healthy future for tent, and small l growers like my self, who only want a bit of a toke for my self, and a turn on for close friends. Any way, lets have a look at some pics.
Pure Kush.

Pure Kush horse tailing, just finished week 6 of flower?

Holy Punch. Such a small plant.

White Widow. All the seeds have turned out different, don't know what's going on, but I'm reluctant to plant any more of them, as the last two have been a waste of time.

Super Lemon Haze. I'll say one thing for Barney's seeds, they all grow well, not had a bad seed from them, keep up the good work.

Gellato Auto. This strain did really well, I'd plant another of this strain. Good branching, good sized solid tops with little or no waste, a nice little auto.

Trimmed and hung, not a lot of trimming to do on this plant, really nice plant to work with.

And there ends the life of the Gellato Auto outdoor, I'll give it a month to cure a little, then I'll start its cremation, grab a couple of buddies and we've got a wake. I have to say that in the past I gave auto's a wide berth, but in their defence, they have come a long way since they first hit the scene, and I hope the dedicated auto breeders carry on fine tuning these plants, give it a couple of years, and auto's will be up there with the best. And at that point, technically you could grow all you smoke for the year outdoors, with minimal space needed, could be the future, and the savings on electric and all the other things that empty your wallet every week tending your grow. And that brings this update to and end, by next week I'll know how much damage the mites have cost me this round, so tune in next week for another edition of mite wars, until then, just keep tokin folks..
