Auto Grow Off, Sativas, Autopots, Nicky & Not2SureYet 🚜

Seems the bud rot just got the main cola so the wifey saved it all there, I inspected it with the microscope.
It smells like some sort of sweet berry pine it’s a great smell I really hope the smoke is a one punch. Have to give it to buddah seeds for keeping the color on this one, it grows with no color but slowly turns purple and dark.

@DefNSmokn thanks man, I t does look pretty good now that I sit here and admire it lol.

I’m gonna put in a good word for a bud wash; especially if botrytis was present.

Si senior I’m very surprised your botritus didn’t jump ship I guess my climate was alot more ideal for an explosion being in summer in south florida hot and humid u dodged a bullet my friend (pardon the pun) lol bud wash is a good plan… my plants were stinking and when the botritus hit all the plants smell took a quick hike never smelled again some got physical harm but all got the smell and taste snatched away instant hay crop

Yes there science on microbes eating carbs sugar synthesizes into carbs it’s a symbiotic relationship of the roots and mycos

I guess that’s y they use unbleached sugars in south florida we have a huge business called big sugar… bug sugar owns like the whole mid section of Florida and grows miles and miles of sugar cane and in there giant ware houses they have a giant mountain of unrefined (unbleached) brown sugar …raw sugar what ever you wanna call it it’s just the liquid from pulverized sugar can soaked and sugar dissolves into the water and the pulp is separated to sugar water and left over cane… after filter and evaporation the sugar crystallizes and brown sugar forms it then is processed and bleached white I’m not 100% sure but I believe its cooked or heated somewhat to make it white Nd sterule… when we were kids in about 7th 8th grade we went on a feild trip to big sugar and they try to lobby the kids knowing they will be in charge one day they hand out gallon ziplock bags and allow all 100+ kids run up and down the sugar mountain … it’s the closest most of us native Floridians get to a snow day in there life… after flipping down and tumbling down a 50 foot mountain if sugar you collect your gallon if sugar get back on the bus and drive 75 miles home and torture the teacher 50 kids with gallon of sugar… I wouldn’t wanna be that chaperone lol! But we were taught as kids to be against big sugar because they have redicules fertilizer run off into the floridas natural watershed and in turn causes algea to bloom and choke out the waters in the Everglades and there has been big battles for years and years about making the water quality a priority for big sugar to keep operating because they are the highest directly affecting entity of the Everglades pollution and algea blooms which kills native …everything… I dunno my exact rambling reason for that but I would guess it’s the unrefined sugar that’s in the bottles and molasses is a sugar/carbohydrate and is used specifically for that reason… I don’t think unsulferated black strap has the potassium and phosphorus that carb load bottles have on top of the sugars… probably a lil unjustifiable price raise but I like the easy factor on how the bottles are all in the regiment together and guessing from manufacturer to manufacturer. Need to be done

I don’t know how much of a microbe environment one would have with such heavy salt based nutrients in coco, I mean I’m using the fishshit to but I have yet to see or hear any reason for the sugar /carb load aside the basics that your screenshot captured.
To me that makes me belive it in soil but question its effectiveness in a non soil environment.

@Caveman86 thank you.

I Zap strapped the pannles hanging wires to the roof poles to give the plants an extra inch bypassing the carabiner /rachet.
Plants have already exploded since I thinned them.
I’ll be home for a short amount of time in the 31,1st,2nd so I’ll try and defoilate them after I top up the reservoirs then.

Looking awesome man ! Wouldn’t expect anything less from you :wink: . Haven’t spoke in a while. Hope all is well brotha !

Right! I can’t wait till the stress level cna return to normal lol.
My girls going to specialize, it’s almost a must these days, since she’s already in full school a 8 month specialist degree is well worth the pay raise and the job availability it offers. It’s something I’ve planted in my girlfriends head so much she thinks it’s her idea lol.

Consider it! Because it’s to hard to go back after she leaves, your guys quality of life will improve its well worth the short term stress

What is she specializing ? Sorry to clog thread lol but caught my attention :rofl:

I get what your saying I forget your in coco… and I have same questions but alot of myconproducts are powder based and hydro friendly I dunno how fungi and bacteria thrive in strait water but they must be able to and micro biology is the BEST route to break down salts slf 100 is an all enzyme based flush product with the main purpose of dissolving salts and cleaning media build up but not sure how it works in water but every product I’ve purchased says hydro and my hydro store dude tells me fine for soil I dunno but I know how the relationship in soil works . Breaking down organic matter to simple forms easily absorbed by plants but i would assume its same process for coco or hydro

Yet to be determined, thought critical care but she doesn’t want to be in ICU and dead will machines all day long it takes the patient part out of it.
We are gonna open a Botox clinic asap though just to do fillers and make $. Although she wants a job more meaningful in her day to dya long term life. She may do palative not sure got a year and a half to figure it out yet.

I’ve grown a few rounds of autos on 18/6 no issue. My last auto grow was in a room with photos. When i switched the lights to 12/12 the autos started flowering (about a week or two early from my experience). All feminized auto Sour diesel from ILGM but one hermied and right before harvest I had one start to reveg for some reason. Only experience I’ve had flipping the lights on an auto. I’m planning on doing it again so I’m hoping from what everyone says it was a fluke.
