Grow Timeline (44 updates)



Everytime I think these plants are getting "close" and actually take em out the tent so I can look at the hairs under regular light I realize that they indeed still have a while to go lol not even 50% hairs have turned orange on the couple plants that are further along (Skywalker OG, Pineapple Express Pheno #2, Sundae Driver Pheno #1 and Pineapple Express #1 in that order are closest to being done.) out of the 3 sativa leaning phenos of one blue dream, and two sundae drivers the blue dream and one sundae driver have disappointing buds very long and thin and not dense at all but still packed with trichs. at least the other sundae driver sativa leaning pheno is fattening up it's buds a bit and should yield decent. will most likely use the sundae driver and blue dream sativa phenos to make edibles they won't have the best bag appeal. might save like half of each plant for smoking and infuse the rest in butter and coconut oil when they're harvested.
DAMN! looking amazing π !!!
ty definitely happy with how this grow has gone it's a budget grow only spent about 1k on everything and should see my return on the investment after this harvest alone ^.^ first time growing autoflowers too and think I did well they actually ended up putting out some of the largest colas I've ever grown along with being some of the frostiest plants I've ever grown so no matter how it all ends up smoking I'm happy with it
that's awesome π π π π... congratulations on a grow well done. I've never really messed with autos much but I might have to try them out.



All plants doing well, the 2 or 3 I was experiencing premature leaf yellowing with seem to be slowly correcting and getting their green tint back. Dechlorinated my tap water every day the past week and added extra nitrogen using Foxfarm Grow Big and Tiger Bloom to fix the issue will water them with one more heavy Grow Big feed tonight. Other then that just sitting back waiting for the Skywalker OG to wrap up along with Pineapple Express Pheno 2. Everything else should be done in a few weeks after them.
These plants were all started around first week of January so they are around 2 and a half months old since being put in the dirt.
Raised HPS as high as it would go over the past week, lowered the output to 750 watts and no correction of tacoing of leaves after a week so tried lowering it to 600watts. if there is still no difference in the next 3 to 4 days I will just turn it back up to 750watts or 1000watts. If anyone has any other suggestions as to how I can fix my leaves from tacoing please comment below, as always any help is appreciated as this is my first Autoflower grow ever. all my experiences in the past 15 years have been with photoperiods but I think these are coming along a-ok
plants taco because heat/light stress. she's transpiring too much, which will lead to water issues. she is trying to reduce her surface area. I think you're on the right track dimming the light, you can also try raising it up and get that exhaust ripping to try and pull some heat off those lights.
that's what I've been aiming for I exhausted out alot of the heat daytime temps are around 70 now and night time temps around 55 or 60. I raised the light as high as it would go and have it sitting at 750watts right now if it still continues I'll try lowering it back down to 600 watts. thanks for the help
it's odd too because not every plant in there is doing it some of the tallest ones closest to the light don't seem to be folding as much and it only seems to be certain strains or phenos doing it. they're still putting out huge dense colas and buds so I'm not super concerned as they didn't start doing this until late in flower I just wanna make sure they turn out to be the strongest babies possible lol I'm currently in the ER due to an abscessed tooth so wifey is taking care of em while I'm away but I'll be back to posting updates in a few days
sending you love and care. hope you get better soon. I stopped growing multiple strains at once for that exact reason!!! lol I'm almost at a point of just growing 1 plant and it's clones. it's crazy how different strains and even different phenos will want vastly different things. last time I grew different strains, I had one I called the 'canary in the coal mine'. any deficiency and she showed first. i could just look at her and know, yup resi is low, or yup pH is off. pain to grow but sticky and smelled like lemon floor cleaner



Here's a few different phenos of each. The unique formed sundae driver, the blue dream that was a bit derpy, and a stacked sundae driver and blue dream that have some diesel truck sized colas lol
Sad to see the burnt leaf and bud tips due to my HPS being too strong. I dialed it all the way down to 600watts and it's still happening so not much I can do about it now just gonna finish everything out and trim off any burnt looking bud tips if I have to. don't think it will really effect the quality of the buds too much but I've never had it happen to this extent before



So this is the better of the 3 blue dream autos I ran. one of them came out very tall and lanky not much solid nugs but very frosty.
the other is kinda derpy, it was the last plant to flower out of the 9 total plants I'm running and had some issues along the way but is recovering. it also had one bud site with a polyploid bud head that's kinda cool to see for the first time in person.
but this is definitely the prize winning blue dream out of the 3, he has a massive main cola with some impressive offshoots. can't wait to see how she looks when she finishes up
great job on your grow, she's beautiful!



Looks like Frosty the snowman stopped by while I was in the hospital for 3 days with an abscessed tooth lol had to leave the babies care in my wife's hands. While I was gone the yellowing came back on 2 or 3 of them I'm still not sure why it's actually happening. On one of the Blue Dream phenos it's only like 30% of the plant yellowing the rest is still fairly green. Le shrug. Tacoing was still happening even after turning light down to 600watts and raising to max height so I said fuck it and turned it back to 750watts. They've been under 1000watts fully for majority of the flowering time so not sure why they started reacting this way recently. It doesn't seem to be effecting bud development or trichs either so I'm not too worried.
Feeding the Skywalker OG and Pineapple Express #2 plain water from here on our almost all of their hairs are orange. Everyone else still getting full feedings.
Water w/ silica, water w/ calmag, foxfarm tiger bloom and big bloom is my 3 day watering schedule for everyone.
5 to 7.5 mL of silica with water one day.
5 to 7.5 mL of Calmag and iron eith water next day.
1.5 teaspoons tiger bloom, 1 to 1.5 tablespoons big bloom for actual nutrient feed on 3rd day.
that's pretty much how I've been watering and feeding them throughout flowering and I usually go 24 to 36 hours between waterings depending how fast the hps dried them out.
can't wait to harvest these bitties alot of them are getting close the tall lanky sativa phenos still got a ways to go though.
off to dental surgery Monday so I'll have plenty of time to spend at home prepping them for harvest and drying/trimming lol
βοΈπ
hehe ty looking I did alright for my first time ever doing autos. going back to 4 photo clones for next grow and see how that goes and from there I'll determine what I feel like running for rest of year. this harvest should hold me over for at least 3 to 5 months hopefully
heck ya! good job. good luck with your next run.



If anyone can help me diagnosis what is going on with this Blue Dream pheno would appreciate it.
One side of the plant seems to be a bit more yellowish green with slightly red/purple/or brown veins in the leaves while the other half seems to be healthy green?
Was thinking nitrogen deficiency at one point.
Any help appreciated. other 2 photos are other plants from same grow that are further along
happy growing all
it could be environmental, is that side cold or hot? if you have any cal mag throw that at her and if it needs any nitrogen she'll get it from that. you don't want a lot of nitrogen at this point. what is your ph?
got ya. tempts are around 70 during day and 60 at night, it seems to be correcting after a small feeding of big bloom and cal-mag. still a few leaves that are yellowish but not as bad as before



So these are the 3 taller, lankier, larfer Sativa leaning phenos that I came out with from this grow. 6 of the other plants stayed shorter and denser def more on the indica side but these 3 formed completely different. The 2 with denser bud structures are Sundae Driver phenos (the 3rd sundae driver looks completely different will post in a different update) and the larfiest, lankiest weird bud structure is a blue dream pheno. I've never had bud structure like one of the sundaes and one of the blue dreams where it almost reminds me of some Thai sticks or some ish.
The denser sativa variety of Sundae Driver is actually looking pretty fire. Both of the sundaes are suffering from slight yellowing tint to leaves but it seems to be slowly correcting.
Despite not looking like the 2 larfy ones will yield much weight they are still packed with trichs and should be fire. Will save half of each of the larfy lankers for edibles and smoke the other half as usual or maybe make BHO with it if it sucks as flower smoking.
I have the 'stativa larf' as I call it, somewhere in my Durban. maybe 15% of the time it shows up. it'll smoke like a stativa too, straight race fuel. I give all mine away to friends/family and lot of ppl like the pretty bud structure, one friend is smarter than the rest, 'im burning it, what do I care what it looks like, give me the race fuel' lol



And this is when patience is key lol
Flushing Pineapple Express Pheno 2 and Skywalker OG with plain water until they start to fade and finish up. Won't water either the last 48 hours prior to harvest and will chop them first thing in the morning before the lights come on around 530 - 6 am.
All the rest still got a bit to go, 2 or 3 other should be done in a week or two and not sure how long in the 2 or 3 taller sativa leaning phenos. On 2 of those phenos the hairs have not even started turning orange yet except maybe a few here and there so they definitely still have a while.
but overall looking like it will be a decent yielding run for first time with autos



So I had a small nugger that I accidentally clipped off the pineapple express pheno that's taking a little longer to finish up about 10-14 days ago so I hung it to dry and the wife n I smoked it last night....
For coming off an immature plant almost 3 to 4 weeks before that plant is close to being ready and considering it was just a basic drying and no curing it was straight fire. We were both absolutely wrecked last night from it and it tasted great even without curing.
So needless to say we are super stoked about this grow overall and can't wait to pull the first plant any day now. Currently flushing Pineapple #2 and Skywalker OG just waiting for em to fade before chopping and then all the rest will follow like dominoes over the course of the next 2 weeks.
"accidentally clipped"...sssuurrrree....lol it's alright, we've all been there. looking good. happy harvesting!!!
lol nah really this time it was I was defoling and when I clipped the leaf I didn't see the small bud stem that was basically right against it and cut 3/4 thru it so I said welp eff it there's my sampler lol
ππ no point in wasting it. I would have done the same back when I smoked. now just grow honestly because I like the smell and it's a pretty plant



hnnng I'm getting super excited to harvest this baby any day now. started plain water only schedule 3 to 4 days ago, leaves are just starting to show signs of fading and the plant is going into overdrive pushing out those sweet, juicy trichs of peace and prosperity.
Not sure exactly how much longer I'm gonna let this guy go but I plan to harvest that main cola first and let the rest go a little more into the amber side of the trich coloring. Right now they're still looking clear/cloudy with no to little ambers showing so he can definitely stand to go a bit longer.
Let me know your thoughts on how much longer I should let this particular plant go because it keeps surprising me lol
looks tasty and amazing. well done. keep checking daily. maybe a weekish but itβs all personal preference after that point. as you grow more you can experiment and pull at different times and see what you like best. I personally enjoy 90/10 cloudy/amber max. I donβt like a huge couch lock most days so Iβll even cut at 100% cloudy very little amber.
got ya yeah I been keeping a close eye on her this is my first time doing autos so having a harder time judging when they're actually done as opposed to photos lol every time I think they're close these things surprised me with more growth
looks great. nicely done. pull or let it ride to tailor effect to your liking. she will ripen more as she dries too.
watered it once more last night think I'll wait another 48 hours or so and pull her that morning. just gonna take the whole thing down at once
can't wait to see her all trimmed up!!
nice work π
looks awesome dude, I'm riding the when to harvest struggle bus myself right now. I'm looking at another 2 or 3 days on m my own
I actually harvested this plant yesterday morning haha there's an updated post for it. gonna pull my Skywalker OG tomorrow morning and then in a week or so one of the blue dream and sundae driver. then I just got 5 more plants left to go over the following week or two at most
Nice! I've got one im harvesting in the next two days I wanna say depends on how fast she finishes drying back from this last watering, and I've got one ready in about a month. I just popped an auto gorilla cookies that should be good to go by the time im running low stash wise again.
thatβs beautiful!!
nice ty everyone definitely pleased with this harvest so far can't wait to give a smoke report



didn't realize I needed to trim the vids down to 20 seconds lol sped this one up 2x and clipped it so I could upload. I've already posted these photos, new vids and photos to come on chop day not tomorrow but the following morning most likely.
daaamn π₯ glad you got that video working π
looks so good!!!
love the safety pin tech π π



These 2 are next to be ready after the pineapple and Skywalker og. will probably start watering with plain water in the next 3 to 5 days and then harvest a week later or so.
Pineapple Express #1 harvest update coming tomorrow morning bright and early. Can't wait to see what the final results will be after drying and curing.
Honestly these 2 will probably be the heaviest yielders out of the 9 plants but we will see at the end.
that is a nice looking plant!!!!!ππ



welp it was finally chop morning for this gorgeous lady. probably one of the prettiest plants I've grown with very little leaf matter tbh. only had to take off a couple non sugar leaves for the initial dry and the full dry trim looks like it will be Cake compared to some trim jobs.
looking like a decent yield and check out the size of the main cola lol
8 more plants to go in the coming weeks! stay tuned for more harvest updates
video sped up 2x and trimmed to 20 seconds for uploading purposes. full harvest video was about 15 minutes for majority of the plant, took a break and going back to finishing the main cola shortly
chunky! π₯



Here's some macro shots with my cheap digital scope. Thing was only 25 bucks on Amazon and does a good enough job for me connecting right to my phone for making macro shots and videos.
Here's some pre harvest macros from my Skywalker OG autoflower that I'm harvesting tomorrow morning. Just starting to see ambers coming into the heads now so picked perfect time to pull it I think.
Will update with actual wet harvest shots and vid tomorrow morning bright and early 5 or 6 am eastern time



Harvested the Skywalker OG this morning. This guy had a fat chode of a main cola lol super thick and dense buds overall. The main cola had some cool foxtailing going on.
Gave it a light wet trim will fully trim after drying and before jarring it up to cure.
Overall less yield then the Pineapple for sure. The pineapple is somewhere around 1 to 2 oz once dry probably this sucker is maybe 1 oz or a little more depending on how much that big chode of a nugget weighs lol
7 more plants to harvest! more updates coming over the next 2 weeks as I pull the rest. next up will be a Blue Dream pheno and a Sundae Driver Pheno in about a week or so.
nice n icy π₯Ά
ty the next sundae driver and blue dreams to be harvested are looking mighty frosty as well π
π₯



Have the drying tent sitting at 60 to 65 degrees F consistently with RH around 55 to 65%. Put the drying tent in the bedroom because the tempts and humidity are very consistent in there but now the wife is complaining that her work clothes smell like fresh buds lmao so might have to move it back into the basement where humidity is a little higher and just invest in a small dehumidifier for the drying tent. I think Vivosun has a micro dehumidifier or something for like 50-60 bucks
also started germing my next batch Snow Ryder, 664xcherry brandy, and GDP Blast autos. Gonna start indoors and probably put half outside and finish the other half indoors. Also gonna be starting 2x Tropicana Cookies and 2x Sour Diesel photoperiod clones soon. Might change my mind on the photos my clone guy has a lot of fire options lol
those micro dehumidifiers sucks and if they do work fluctuates the humidity by more than 10%. never gets low enough. get a basement dehumidifier. I have a Govee 4500sqft one thatβs amazing
ty for letting me know so I don't waste the money lol I had seen similar reviews on them after I actually looked. I need a basement dehumidifier anyways so just gonna invest in a large one that drains right into the laundry room sink soon. I also ended up throwing a small air purifier we had in the living room into the bedroom instead and it's helping the smell alot so I added the 2nd one from the kitchen to the bedroom as well lmao hoping with those filtering the smell a bit my wife won't complain about the smell
itβll make things so much easier with a proper dehumidifier. so much easier!
I second that.the small ones suck



Down to the last 7 plants. Gonna start flushing one of the Blue Dream and Sundae Driver any day now and then will flush for about a week prior to harvesting. Vast majority of their pistols have turned orange, very little white hairs left. As always will check under scope and post some macros prior to harvest day just to make sure they're actually ready.
I definitely had the light too strong for majority of flower, was running the HPS at 1000w and I ended up with a few tops that have some light bleaching/burnt tips. I tried turning it down to 750w and was still too strong so been running it at 600w for about 2 weeks now. I figured the 1000w would be perfect for 9 plants in a 5x5 but turns out this new double ended HPS is stronger than the old school 1000w hps I used to use in prior grows lol so next grow I will start at 600w then dial it up to 750w and see how they tolerate it. I'm gonna run photos from clones in this tent next but only 4 that I plan to SCROG with a 5x5 trellis net and will veg until I have some beasts on my hands. Gonna setup my 2nd 4x4 tent with LEDs soon and will run 8 to 10 autos in there. Will have 6 to 8 autos that I'm putting outside as well once they're big enough and the weather is better.
well done sir
ty was pleasantly surprised with the turnout being all autos. only had 2 that presented more ruderalis genetics, 1 of them putting out decently formed buds but the other is very larfy but still covered in tons of trichs so will probably use the majority of those 2 plants for edibles or some kind of hash.
I have no experience with autos. Iβm still learning. but Iβve got a photoperiod blue dream growing right now. had to rush veg, cause Iβm selling my house soonβ¦.. Si what caused the larf? light being to strong? or was it just the temperamental auto flower problems?



Updated flowering photos of the chonkiest of the Sundae Drivers. will update photos of the chonky blue dream tomorrow.
those 2 plants in particular seem to be holding the most weight overall, with the most tops and chonkiest of colas. The blue dream cola that I'll post tomorrow looks like a damn pyramid lol
these last 7 plants are taking a bit longer to finish then I thought they would, some of these plants will definitely end up going over 100 days total seed to harvest which is fine I'm just a homegrower so no rush.
trich production is looking on point though that's for sure π
edit: actually that 6th photo is the blue dream lol will post close ups of it tomorrow
ooooooooooowiii those are looking nice!!!
ty everything is definitely looking fire just wish I yielded a bit more but I guess it's cuz I'm used to photos lol now that I have the pineapple a little more then halfway thru the drying process and the Skywalker is getting there as well, I realize just how tiny these plants ended up being lol but this particular sundae driver and blue dream should yield about double the pineapple that I harvested. I'm excited to weigh everything up after drying and trimming before jarring
yeah I've never messed with autos to much... I feel like there is no room for mistakes with them
yeah there really isn't and I definitely made a couple mistakes that might have set me back yield wise. overall I'm still satisfied, haven't grown in over 5 years so it was a good way to build up the old head stash fast. Going back to photos from clones in the main tent after this. Still have some auto seeds from a buddy not sure how strong the genetics are but free seeds are free seeds
yeah I'm in the same boat. first grow since I was a young punk, definitely made some mistakes trying to get my system running right... I used to think free seeds is free seeds but if you spending so much time and energy on them, and your counting on them. Then I do think buying from a good company is worth it!!! i thought that my "Vancouver seeds bank" seeds= rocket seeds would be good quality. a friend of mine who's been doing this a long time says no... he uses "premium cultivators" in the USA... we popped seeds the same day and his showed to be much better than mine... eventually my hydroponic system grew mine up bigger than his but overall his seeds just seemed much better quality. My GMO is actually from him... front right plant
I ordered the current batch from a newer us seedbank. I just don't know the genetics of the seeds he gave me really so I'm mostly putting them outdoors and I'll lightly focus on a couple inside. the main tent I'm using now will be 4 photos from clones that I get from a local big time farmer so I know those are good genetics. plan to SCROG em and see how big I can get em hopefully I haven't lost my touch with photos lol



Here's the blue dream that put a nice chonky cola and other tops.
Still seeing white hairs so gonna keep watering and feeding as usual no flushing yet. it still has at least 10 to 14 days until harvest maybe judging by the other plants I have harvested so far. this and the sundae driver from yesterday will be ready next.
probably won't post anymore updates until the next drying/trimming update of the pineapple and Skywalker as there's not much change going on as I wait for everything to finish ripening and start flushing.
edit: turned light up to 750w to try and squeeze out any last bud growth in the last few weeks it's been running at 600w due to leave tips being burnt. so will keep a close eye on any more burnt tips and turn back down if needed



Liking the way this sativa leaning pheno of Sundae Driver is turning out. For being one of the taller out the bunch it's putting out some solid flowers. Also waiting for pistils to amber up before a small flush prior to harvest.
Overall might be looking at 8 to 12 oz total once all 9 plants are done. There's 2 that aren't putting out solid buds and might get used mainly for edibles, I'll post updates of them tomorrow. Their hairs are pretty much all still white so not sure how long Im willing to let them go. by the time I harvest everything else I will evaluate whether to just pull them as is or whatever.
I have a stain that throws 'whispy old school sativa' buds about 10-15% of the time. few times had ppl give it the side eye when you pull it out for a session and then end up on their ass cuz it hit hard lol. but yeah eventually it went into the edible pile
yeah idk if it's being a wispy sativa or a ruderalis lol I'll post some pics of the two plants in question this morning



Alright so here's my 2 weirdos of the bunch lol the first is a Blue Dream auto Pheno that's either showing some ruderalis or grinspooning not even really sure wtf has been up with her the whole grow but it's looked like this for quite a while now and still has a lot of white hairs. Very stringy/larfy bud formation no density to it at all clearly but it's packed with trichs head to toe. Not sure how it will smoke and will most likely end up being used for edibles.
The 2nd is a Sundae Driver Pheno that kinda started leaning in the direction of that Blue Dream but ended up putting out at least SOME kind of flower density. Some of the tiny leaves are getting a small purple hue to them but other then that not too sure how I feel about these 2 plants. I will still finish growing them since it's all just personal use anyways and I'm always interested to see variations of strains and can find some kinda use for em lol
The smell when you rub your fingers on a bud from these 2 is actually pretty pungent. Very sweet and skunky, and both plants are super resinous pretty much every little inch of them is covered in trichs the photos don't even really do them justice. So they will either make great hash or edibles once dried and cured. They definitely won't put out much weight wise which sucks because they are both actually huge bushy plants if they had put out denser buds and colas like my other 7 plants I'd be even happier.
Drying update on the Pineapple and Skywalker coming soon. It's been about 8 days drying for the Pineapple and still no crackle to the stems, about 5 or 6 days for the Skywalker and same. They're in a small tent drying at 60 to 65 F and 50 to 60% humidity (usually closer to 60H but I'll open the side panel and have a fan blow air out for a couple hours every day which brings it down to 50% then put the side panel back on for rest of day and humidity goes back up to 60%)
looks really cool. definitely ruderalis showing
that's what I thought. either way still gonna let it keep chugging along lol it has a great smell to it and plenty of trichs so will probably make decent edibles or hash at the least. I'll try keeping a small amount of it to see how it smokes
definitely some fire there, whatever you plan to do with it, Iβm sure it will be enjoyed thoroughly
hope so cuz they definitely look different then anything I've grown before lol first time doing autos so at least 7 out of the 9 turned out what I'd consider "normal" flowers
Thanks for sharing!!! the only times I've grown auto flowers they were all very larfy and looked similar. Now I may understand why.
yeah it was definitely odd bud structure to me coming from photos. my other plants from same strains had all 3 plants looking different so I might run autos as a secondary thing when my stock is running low but will probably go back to photoperiods after this. I actually wanna get my hands on some Dr Grinspoon seeds IDC if it's a 25 week flowering cycle and for not much yield but I think it might be the closest strain to something that used to go around my area like 15 20 years ago



Edit 2: Smoke Report!!! Holy fucking shit balls is all I gotta say. I rolled up a 0.8g blunt of it before I sucked the air out the jars and this is some of the stickiest, stinkiest buds ive ever grown. it's actually a smooth smoke already without any cure just hang drying. can already tell that when I revisit it in 2 weeks and then 4 weeks the flavor and scent profile is just going to soar. I'm not even 1/3 of the way through facing this blunt and the front of my forehead already feels like someone is tickling it with a feather.
Edit: 71.8g dried total off this one plant and it's one of my smaller ones. The Skywalker OG night surprise me too. No way I walk away from this 9 plants harvest with less then 12 to 16 oz total :) not bad for my first time back in years and first time running autos at that
Turns out by noon the Pineapple was dried enough for stems to snap and for its final trim, weigh and jar.
Ended up with slightly over 2.5 ounces dry off the Pineapple so the next Sundae Driver and Blue Dream are easily 3 to 4 plus ounces they're more then double the size of this pineapple. Skywalker still has a couple days to go before trim and jarring.
Trying out these burp lids I like that you can use the hand vacuum pump to actually give them a good vacuum seal between burps.
The aroma that came off this plant as I trimmed it was insane. Super sweet, fruity yet skunky. Can't wait to see how the taste and smell evolves throughout the cure.
π€€π€€
God dayum I'm looking forward to the cure on this baby right here. The sample smoke after just drying it is phenomenal and the quality all around is just gonna skyrocket as it cures. on 4/20 I'll try another sample of this but it's already up there. I'm already up there. ... I'm high AF and rambling on so I know this is some shit already lol
that's awesome dude good job!



Edit: Ended up with just shy of 2 oz on this plant. 28g and 26.4g for a total of 54.4g off Skywalker and the Pineapple was like... 71 point something G if I'm not mistaken. All I know is it was 2.5 oz lol so already over a QP total off the first 2 of 9 plants and a few of them are almost double the size of these ones. Hoping I break an elbow π€£ I'd say that's not bad for my first time ever running autos and making mistakes along the way.
For only being dried and not cured has a decently smooth smoke with a hazey taste. Honestly not too impressed with either of the highs from the pineapple and Skywalker but hoping a nice slow cure will help bring out their true dankness. Considering letting my other plants go deeper into the amber since I prefer a nice couch lock high and so far both of these are giving more of a sativa head high vibe. Its been a long time since I've grown and I do remember a good cure making a massive difference in the quality of the high.
just picked up 20 Skywalker kush seeds. has always been one of my favorite strains. gotta run headband first tho. enjoy that Skywalker man!
id love to get some original headband beans or clones. I feel like even the "original" version of everything now still isn't quite what it used to be though
I would put money on that skunkteks head to head is as close as it gets. bud structure even looks the same like back in the day. Headband βFirst class genetics cutβ x Mandelbrotβs 707 Headband https://skunktek.com/product/head-to-head/
ty for the plug will definitely check it out. trying to get some of the original knock you on your ass strains into my inventory lol
looks great quality. good job.



So this is one of the two oddball plants but the better of the two that is actually putting somewhat ok density to its flower. Recently the leaves and few tips of the buds have been expressing a nice pinkish purple hue to them. Daytime temps are around 75 and night time 63 F. I can definitely get my night and day temps a little lower so starting today I'm gonna cut off the heater and see if I can force it into expressing these colors a bit more.
I've never tried adding ice cubes to the soil when watering but considering trying it on this plant for the last week or so before harvesting. I think this plant still has at least a few weeks to go it still has a lot of white hairs but I'll check it under the scope later today.
Also added a couple micro shots from checking the Blue Dream last night, it's definitely getting close so will start flushing after I feed it one last time. Will check the Sundae Driver but I think it's at about the same stage as the Blue Dream so both gonna get a minor flush before harvesting in the next week.
Update on my Burp Lids review. This is the first time I've had a little extra cash to invest in some of the extra bells and whistles for this harvest and I gotta say the combo of the amber tinted mason jars and these Burp Lids is giving me more confidence then usual in my cure.
I've also taken more care to pay attention to temperature and humidity throughout the drying and curing process which tbh is something I never actually paid any mind to in previous grows for over 15 years lmfao and everything still turned out perfectly cured.... but this time around I kept the drying at 60 to 70 degrees F (typically 67) with humidity between 50 and 60% (typically at 60 but lowered to 48-50% last day or two of drying). Let dry over 7 to 10 days then jarred and have been maintaining 68 F in jar consistently and I bought those small meters to put in the jar to actually track the internal temp and humidity. Humidity has been sitting around 52 to 55% and today I added 2 Integra humidity packs (the 62% two way humidity. packed size is made for 1 oz of herbs) and since adding them humidity inside jar has been slowly climbing to around 58% now.
Enough rambling my actual point is the ability to vacuum seal these jars! You screw it on and use a hand pump to vacuum seal your jars and boy I tell you.... the seal it creates is *chefs kiss* you can hear the crack and hiss of air being released when I open the jars to burp or if I push the green button in middle to burp. I like to fight the jars open (seriously it creates such a good vacuum seal that my 6 foot 250 lb male azz has difficult opening them lmaoooo).... I feel that by vacuum sealing it, I am getting even better of a cure. the smells are outrageous now and it's sticky as hell. can't wait for a full month to pass so I can truly smoke these!
ps: look at my baby sunflowers and other various flowers that will be planted outside this season π₯Ή gonna make the wife happy by landscaping the new house beautifully
Started flushing the first Sundae Driver and Blue Dreams to be ready along with the 2nd Pineapple. These particular Sundae and Blue are the largest yielders of the batch probably. Everything else will be done in next couple weeks. Probably won't wait for the stringy one to "fully mature" bc it's still not even really showing any orange pistils. The pink/purple Sunday driver is coming along nicely as well. it was starting to yellow a bit so hit it with a heavier dose of calmag yesterday and it seems to be greening back up properly.
Had another small sample smoke of the pineapple that I have curing and the quality of the high is muchhhh better already. Taste and smell on it are phenomenal already. Won't sample the Skywalker or pineapple again until 4/20 by then they will have been cured for just under 2 weeks and should give me a better idea of the smoke quality. really I don't like to tap into smoking anything until it's had a full month long cure because it's just a waste to smoke it before then. if your plant doesn't smoke good after drying, I guarantee you a proper month long cure will make the difference and you will get the high you're looking for.
lovely.
Welp apparently I lost my entire post when I thought it went thru and posted. So to keep it short, Pinky is still turning pink. The ruderalis/grinspoon mutation/whatever is happening with this one is also starting to turn purple and it's ultra frosty and smells amazing. I think it will pack a surprise punch even though it's a super odd bud structure and won't yield much weight wise.
Not much going on, just flushing these 2 and the 2nd pineapple to harvest in 5 to 10 days. They're looking nice and chunky. The sundae driver started fading a bit before flush but it still has a decent amount of white hairs. Need to give it a look under the scope later to get a better idea of my harvest time frame. Feeding the other 4 plants as usual until they're closer to harvest (2 more sundae drivers and 2 more blue dreams)
How old is your Blue Dream or sorry, how long have it been in flower.
what beautiful hues. π
I started all of my plants around January 1st, they were in dirty by end of first week/start of second week of January. I didn't really count days or how long they were in flower. That was the first of 3 blue dreams that I have, each one came out differently with one being drastically different (Grinspoon mutation or ruderalis genetics coming thru). Today would be about 90ish days total seed to finish for this blue dream
Thanks for the info and I appreciate it, hope you have great Easter Holiday. π
LSD auto, Jack Herer auto and Jelly Donutz auto along with freebie of Apple Fritter auto and OG Kush Ltd Ed (photoperiod) were all just shipped out to me from Seedsman and should arrive in the next week or so. 36 seeds in total so it's enough for at least 3 more full auto runs. I will probably end up ordering a couple other strains in between the grows and save some seeds for later grows etc
Just in time for the last few plants to come down and then start these bad girls. I can't wait to see how the LSD auto compares to the LSD photos I grew 10 or 15 years ago.
Will be setting up a 2nd tent soon as well, will be running autos in one and photos in the other. Think I'll stick to autos in the current tent and do the photos from clones in the new 4x4
edit: rest of that pineapple should be fine to dry in same area as the other 2 plants right? or should I try drying it in a seperate room? I tossed the bud rot nug and any buds that were in direct contact with that one. I carefully inspected it as I wet trimmed and saw no other signs. cut a few buds in half just so I could check the insides.
Have everything hanging in the dry tent at 60% humidity and between 65 and 70 degrees F so should be a nice slow dry over 10 to 14 days or so.
Went to pull the blue dream and sundae driver this morning and noticed the 2nd pineapple had 1 nug that is fugging rotted!!!! so that plant is also getting chopped this morning. Will update in a bit. Hoping that 90% of that pineapple is good though but ya never know bc bud rot starts on the inside... I removed the bud that has it for sure along with the 2 little buds directly attached to it. my main concern is that it was underneath the main cola on that plant so it might have already spread. fuuuuuck. hoping the rest of that plant is salvageable
after taking the rotting pineapple down I carefully examined the hell out of every bud on the plant as I took it off and gave it a wet trim (wet trimmed more then usual to examine inside of buds). looks like a couple parts towards the bottom of the main cola were infected as well so tossed those and any bud that was actually touching those nugs as well. I think the rest of the plant can be dried and smoked just fine though I see no other signs and I think I caught it before it got bad. need to closely examine every single plant I have left and as I take apart these next 2 examine them closely as well because they were next to this pineapple
π€¬π€¬π€¬ sucks. glad you caught it when you did!!! π€¬π€¬π€¬
yeah it's first time I've had it happen with an indoor grow. only lost maybe 5 to 7g off that plant to it, don't see any other signs of it on any other plants. glad I caught it when I did. have 4 plants left to harvest gonna take a look at them later today and determine if I should just chop some or all of them a little early. 2 or 3 of them are definitely pretty close to being done but I need to check under scope still
I had it happen once indoors, and it's the reason I try to time everything so I don't have any flowering in July and August. glad you caught it when you did!!
yea if I start my next batch soon that's probably around when the next autos would be done. gonna get a large dehumidifier for the basement and maybe add one more fan to the tent interior as well
the size of them nuggz tho. well done sir
ty this grow definitely ended up with some of the thickest and largest buds I've ever grown. the Skywalker OG top was 16g dried and was too big to fit in a jar lmao after trimming couple small pieces off it was just under 12g to fit in the jar. Think this blue dream top cola might be bigger
fuggin awesome man. mine wonβt be anywhere close to that. had my wife breathing down my neck to get this done. house is going up for sale in two weeks.
oof yes that's what delayed me starting this grow actually lol sold our house last year and moved into the new around october/November and didn't set back up until January
Couple shots of one of the other Sundae Drivers that will be ready to harvest as soon as these other 3 plants are done drying. Then the tent will be empty :O but I gotta bunch of new seeds coming tomorrow LSD auto, Jack Herer auto, Jelly Donutz auto, Apple Fritter auto and OG Kush Ltd Ed photoperiod. gonna run some photos from clone in a 2nd tent next as well
Don't know how I didn't see this the other day but that taller thick Sundae Driver is getting some purps up in it as well. Hard to see bc the photo was taken inside the tent under the HPS but hoping I can force a bit more coloration this last week or two. Seems 3 out of the 4 remaining plants are showing purple that's starting to creep into the buds themselves.
oh and all the new beans should be arriving today :) happy 420 to meeee
edit: just had to add a pic of all the new beans that came in today as well lol can't wait to run all of them especially that jelly donutz. supposed to be a high THC 30%+ runtz auto
3 out of the 4 remaining plants are showing some gorgeous coloration now. You can also really see the difference in phenos here. there's 2 sundae drivers and 1 blue dream will post some photos of the last blue dream tomorrow.
Bishes are looking daaaank
Hey, seriously keep that shit up. π
ty definitely plan on it. took a break for a long time feels good to be nearing the end of this first run back at it
I noticed after drying so far the first 5 plants look pretty much... the same. Like hard to tell it's 4 different strains. But the last 4 plants definitely 3 have a complete difference in bud structure but just funny how they all kinda ended up looking exactly the same once they hit this point.
Getting a nice slow dry on the sundae driver, blue dream and pineapple 2. It's been 5 or 6 days now, no crackle to the stems yet. Humidity has been around 60% but got up to 67 today so put the fan blowing air out to lower it. Hoping these will be done drying by Sunday night so I can harvest the other 4 Monday morning and hang them to dry before I leave. I'll have some check on the stuff drying one at home to burp the jars andcheck the drying tent humidity while im out of town for few days
looking great!
looks good! i just started drying thisnweek and am chopping up 3 plants today! love how neat yours looks. i wasnt born with that capability haha
Love taking photos of this pink baby and the grinspoon mutation lol idk why but I feel like this Grinspoon plant is gonna be pretty fire and look like old school haze that I used to see in my area a long time ago. Just started flushing the last 4 plants yesterday, plan to harvest them next week.
The 3 that are drying will hopefully be done drying in next 2 to 4 days.
Ended up with 57g so just over 2 oz off this plant. Brought me to 6.5 oz off the first 3 plants harvested. Still have to trim sundae driver and blue dream but they weren't quite dry enough yet, probably tomorrow morning or tomorrow afternoon they will be trimmed and jarred. Then will harvest the last 4 plants in next few days, want to give them a bit more time to flush.
This plant was way leafier then the last 2 and took forever to trim. it also had a good amount of burnt tips from the light, definitely gotta go easier on it next grow probably won't even surpass 750w it seems the full 1000w with this bulb was too much for even 9 plants. However, still looks like it will be fire. very very frosty, moreso then the first 2 plants were imo. Can't wait to try it in a week or two.
Been working on the sundae driver today still have blue dream to do tonight. Got 3.75 oz off the Sundae driver. Total harvest is at 10.25 oz off pineapple 1, skywalker, pineapple 2, and sundae driver. still have 5 plants to go so should easily clear a lb on this grow total
looks like some π₯
ty the pineapple and Skywalker that have been curing just over 2 weeks are def π₯ so can't wait to try everything else in 2 weeks or so
Terps look amazing
nicely done
just nixing this angry post don't wanna bring down the morale around here y'all have been great lol
Iβm sorry for your situation friend. sounds like your true love is Mary Jane.
damn bro thatβs fucked. sorry to hear about that.
dm me bro bro thats absolutely methed up! im so sorry your going through this the pettyness is unreal eh?
sorry bud. that sucks. my unsolicited advice, cut them out of your life like a tumor. zero contact. it's not a healthy situation for you, or anyone else involved. move forward, overcome the temporary obstacles and don't look back.
man these stories are getting way too common. i had a gf that threatened to harm herself and blame me if i left. Long story short she repeatedly punched herself and told cops i did it. She's living a miserable life now so it all worked out
So while I was gone for 2 weeks the entire basement flooded thanks to the torrential downpours. Had to lift the tent up on blocks then the light in and then all the fans in but still have a layer of moisture in between the bottom of the tent and it looks moldy so idk. not in a great mood all I gotta say is glad I harvested when I did, I have enough nonsense to deal with at the moment. Just hoping I can save the damn tent at this point.
if anyone has any ideas how I can try to dry the tent out and clean it and save it lmk please... pretty sure I have mildew or algae going on between the layers. the black is mostly from the light burning the reflective layer but there's definitely some green in between.
about 4 plants were semi ruined I wasn't able to dry them properly and honestly at this point I don't even care I just chopped em dried em and threw them in bags. will most likely be making a shit ton of edibles the next few weeks. at least I have plenty of top shelf out of this grow from before.
the next one needs to have no interruptions or I'm just quitting this game at this point lol
I use hydrogen peroxide seems to work for me 9% though.
yeah that's was I thinking but wasn't sure if it would do the job. I'll be laying the other floor piece down over all of that afterwards just wanna make sure I don't run into mold issues before I start the next batches
yeah hydrogen peroxide or for real bad mold bleach... but that's not recommended. you could also try grow room cleaner like "Athena clense" mixed in a high concentration or similar type cleaner.
Still not done trimming and jarring lol gotta start trimming last lil bit of apple fritter 2 and then all of jelly donutz 3, which looks to be the worst to trim out of all 9 plants. Sucker is so frosty that the scissors end up caked in resin after just 1 large cola or a few smaller buds lol plus it was pretty leafy to begin with.
after that its just curing lsd 2, Apple 2 and jelly 3 for at least 2 weeks. So far have 32 or 33 jars that are all mostly 3/4 full or more. a few are like a half jar but not many. plus like 9 grove bags of the "1 oz" size. not sure how much is actually in them tho. I will weigh everything when its done...
but by this point we've smoked at least 4 to 5 jars worth of it lol so minus 4 to 6 ounces maybe off my total, which should end up around 2 to 2.5 pounds
when I trimmed my alphabet runtz I had to keep cleaning siccors with alcohol
so many hairs, those look great
looks fluffy thick
I know the feeling I have like 50 trimming scissors, I just keep going one time like 5 days trimming 50 pounds at first i did .you best after a couple days I said fuck it and just jarred 28g/32 Oz jars filled hundreds of jars with sugar leaves





background on the first few pics look like you're growing in some kind of abandoned warehouse lol. these ladies look awesome, super hairy
lol nope just my basement it's an old 70s shitty basement that I need to remodel just bought this house recently gonna convert the entire basement into a man cave with my PC desktop workstation and video games/smoking lounge for when buddies come over/plus all my tents. and thank you this is my first time ever doing autoflower and I'm happy with the outcome I was thinking I was only gonna get an oz a plant at most and it looks like I'm gonna get more then that but hard to tell until actual harvest time
