Eledin's corner of the multiverse

Hahaha I have not been in your post for a loong while, I just checked now how are you doing. How come youre planting outdoors now? I did miss that part. I took a break from the forum and any social interaction at all for that matter except family and best friend and since Im back I lost track of many threads.

Dude no worries! In this time of “everything in the world happening is in your face” one needs to unplug! It’s 100% necessary! Life is still so beautiful outside the interweb!

well I tried my hand at some plants on the back deck when i first moved into this spot. the dog get them a few weeks into it lol! didnt think twice about it until last summer! i threw a couple out there and they ended up getting smoked due to heat and other life circumstances lol. this year im going all in with a legit attempt! im not holding my breath and im absolutely not shutting the shed down! (for a month or so in July just to catch up on power bills and to get in the shed for needed maintenance) but as long as i can ill be growing herb inside somewhere where ever im at : )

I get mine from the tobbaco shop, they throw away every week these huge rectangular cardboard boxes where the tobbaco comes in those bundles of packets. If you ask them, they will tell you which day you can pass by to get some. You can also buy them in amazon but theyre ridiculously expensive.

Dude i have just the spot i can check! Locally! Like right down the road! Hahahaahahaha! Thats a rarity where im at, i usually have to drive into town a ways away to get things lol thanks for the pro tip!

I already miss my 5 and 7 gallon pots. Growing in 3 gallon pots is a pain in the ass, gotta water them every 2 days with the heat, I was used to being lazy sometimes I check and Im like "oh shit that one is too thirsty"
Good thing Im going back to SCROG after this one, and with the 2 indoors up hopefully. Keep tuned if you wanna see strains from spanish banks. I already showed the crystal candy from sweet seeds (spain, cheap and good) in this thread but thats nothing compared to what ripper seeds (spain, not as cheap but insane genetics) has to offer, will go with 3 kmintz and a ripper haze. Then in the small one we will have some do-si-dos 33 from barney's farm (netherlands) because they had a buy a 5 pack and get another one for free, should be very solid too.

 

[Eledin]

Oh I forgot, I have to plant 1:1 for my friend. I will probably sneak a Euphoria from RQS (netherlands) or two aswell.

Thank you! Im glad to see you around again! This is a quick run with autos with dubious genetics, they are free seeds from the grow shop where I buy. They either give them away for free with your order or they cost 1,80euros per unit if you wanna buy more, so you can imagine how they produce them and store them, its a lottery but so far it looks like its going good enough.

Okay so I have 3 tall ones that are way behind but the cola looks promising, then I have a very weird foxtail pheno that I show in the video aswell, huge cola but all the buds are foxtails, and then I have 3 that are close to harvest, the other 6 not even close. I have 3 or 4 strains in there so it was to be expected hahaha

Foxtail pheno:

 

[Eledin]

Also I know that usually I keep them better fed, there's some deficiencies showing off already but Im not using my expensive liquids for these shitty seeds. Im only using biobizz bases + ocasional supplement of kelp. Next run I will go back to photos from a bank again and use my good stuff and ammend the soil properly.

 

[Greenadian]

What strain is the plant with that massive cola and the foxtails? I remember nack in the day Id run anything I got for free.....some were junk, most were decent....but the odd plant would be amazing!!
Foxtails on an auto....hmmmm maybe a more sativa leaning oldschool genetics

Yes Im suspecting a lemon haze, Im not sure what I threw in there some did germinate some didnt I didnt even put the tags on them because Im gonna process it all into kief. Its most likely a lemon haze but Im not sure if I did end up planting 3 runtz auto, in which case could be the runtz even if its 50/50 genetics, those babies like to foxtail too but rarely I see a full foxtail pheno like this one.

 

[Eledin]

Well actually I might smoke the colas of some of all of them but the rest will go for kief. The ones that are still far behind are looking like theyre gonna be tall collas, lets see how fat they get, still too soon to tell for those that are behind.

Dude I’m getting my ass kicked with my 2gal. And I even have a three gal mixed in there and I’m watering every 2or three days. They are slowing a bit but not much lol. I’d like to try my same medium but in like 5 gal. And then I may go back to soil all together had a period of 16 days I didn’t water that stuff hahaha!

 

[ohigrow]

Looks very nice! I dont know if you posted it here cause you got mistaken or maybe I was in one of your posts? Sorry if I was and I dont remember. I checked your post but I cant recall hahaha. Nice plants though.

Sorry man I didn’t see this response haha you helped advise me on a post when I had issues and that was one of the plants you helped with was being funny but also showing my appreciation towards you for helping me out growmie

I find it much easier to control my soil and feeding in bigger pots to be honest. I only bring the small pots when Im gonna run autos because Im out of weed hahahaha. I use four 5 gallon pots in my 2,5x2,5 feet tent and four 7gal pots in my 3x3 feet tent, those are my sweet spots to fill it up nicely without having to prolong veg due to needing bigger or trained plants to fill the tent.

No worries! Im glad that I could be of help and I see now that you already harvested since the last time I was in your post, nice buds! Im sorry about the hermy but it happens more often than we would like hahaha. Sometimes if its too early I will spray it with water and hydrogen peroxide, that makes the polen sterile but also has some downsides like the fact that it will damage a few trichomes or that spraying buds in late flower can lead to mold pretty quickly if you dont point a fan at the sprayed one for a couple of days minimum. I dont like to recommend it mostly because most people will end up with mold and I dont want them to blame me but if your supply highly depends on all plants being matured properly you can do it at your own risk, it works. Damaging a few trichomes does nothing to potency compared to a very early harvest, it might affect taste slightly but again, so does choping early.

 

[Eledin]

Also if youre wondering no, you wont smoke the hydrogen peroxide, in a few hours it will be nothing but water and oxygen. What might alter the taste slightly is the burned trichomes and not in all buds, dont ask me why its just what I noticed and it still tastes better than early bud to me. That said yours was mature enough I think? Its just in case that it happens again in the future and it happens before its mostly milky, you have that option.

 

[Eledin]

Well fuck me... Im an idiot, Im running them under 18 hours of light but the schedule is 6/2 and I was wondering why the hell are these autos always hungry duuuh, Im using the power nap method for the first time under the principle that they make better use of light with power naps than with long hours of light and darkness and while Im still not sure if thats the cause of some foxtailing (its not hot enough yet to be the heat and some others besides the foxtail pheno have some foxtailing) they are chunky for sure I think I should just feed them full dose every watering at this point because Im going full dose half dose and they still want more, every day the leaves are more depleted. I would say so far that the power nap method definetely makes them work faster and harder but Im not a fan of autos so I wont be using it a lot. Wondering how it would go with photos but Im not sure I wanna try hahaha if someone has tried it and has some info let me know pease!

 

[Eledin]

Im gonna ask again in hopes someone responds, but Im afraid most likely no one has tried the power nap method with regular feminized seeeds. Aynone? Im currently using 6/2 for the autos and theyre eating more than I could have ever imagine an auto eating, could it work for photos? Im not gonna try it until I know if someone has tried it here

 

[Greenadian]

I have not, but what the schedule be for flowering feminised photoperiods with the 'nap' method?

 

[Eledin]

4-4, 3-3 or 6-6 but I have no idea, the only thing I know is that I saw this for autos and now Im impressed at how much they eat, their DLI has increased for sure for sure. As long as photos are getting the 12 hours of darkness they should still flower even if its under 4-4 or 6-6, right? Im not sure about that one but I think I have seen in mentioned in the forum, not sure, hopefully someone can tell me.
