Day 78 and getting close

[Beard-O]

Day 78 and they’re still drinking loads of water.
My 4 plants drank half the reservoir in 2 days.

With the exception of Granite Haze 7, the other 3 are 2 weeks off at least. The sugar leaves on the Granite Haze 7 are turning yellow. An indication might be time to pull some samples and look at them under the microscope.

I’ve added some supplemental LED lights just to get as much light on the buds as I can.

I can’t believe we pulled this grow off. A month ago we were hit with a major nor’easter. Sub zero temperatures, a foot of snow that froze. My entire heating system failed and needed to be replaced. The entire home had no heat for well over a week.
But my plants survived. We wrapped the tent in a tarp, and tapped it shut.My 1000w HPS provided crazy heat. Even though my pipes froze, and it was 7* outside, my tent was a toasty 75*.

Here’s some pics I took today.

Sure is a full tent! They are in Tray2Grows?

[Beard-O]

No, four 3.9 gallon Autopots.

I never anticipated this kind of growth. If I did, I may have only done 2 or 3 plants.

I can see why Autopotomous discourages LST. You simply don’t have the room.

[Hopalong]

Lol I’m just literally LSTing right now

Might get crowded, the front two are stretching still

[Beard-O]

A lot of buds there.

What strains are they? Now those are all Tray to Grow? What brand of nutes are you using?

[Hopalong]

Thank you my friend, yes these are on Tray2Grows. They are Mephisto Genetic’s autoflowers:

Top left is Old Shcool Blues, top right is Ripley’s OG, front left Sour Bubbly x Grape Walker Kush and front right is Manbearalienpig.

They are on Greenhousefeeding’s Biogrow and Biobloom top dressed.

I have a 3x3 with 4 Fastbuds autos on self-watering bases, nice to see how they work.

I got those on late stage of last grow so tgis is the first run with both systems from the start. So far I’m really happy of how they work and the real test starts tomorrow as I’m off to fishing trip(read: wine drinking and gorging on food) to Spain for 8 days.

I really hope all goes well, it’s such a good start for these plants…

I’m a serious fisherman myself. What will you be fishing for?

[Hopalong]

We will go to the river Ebro. I think on the side we’ll try for catfish as I think the world record one is caught from that river.

Otherwise I think I’ll concentrate on casting for perch, walleye and trout.

[Beard-O]

Interesting, thanks for the reply.

I live on the coast of New England. We have trout fishing inland and in the mountains in rivers and ponds.

On the coast we fishing mainly for striped bass, bluefish and tuna.

I’m a lifelong fisherman myself. Here in the nordics it’s mostly sweetwater fishing as I don’t live in Norway.

Where I live we have an infinity of lakes, but the real epic stuff happens in the northern tundras. I used to go every summer but now it has been five years since my last trip there. Nothing beats two weeks in a tent outside mobile networks just fishing. Total reset.

Interesting dilemma.

My Speedrun Rock Slide, Acid Snow, and 420 Fastbuds Gorilla Cookie are in day 80 and thriving. Gulping water

However my Granite Haze 7…died. literally died. All the sugar and fan leaves and dead, and crumbling to the touch.
This plant was never thrived and always was the weakling in the tent. However, inspire of the fact she’s about 1/4 the size of the others, her buds seem fine. Actually great.

Looked at some bud samples under my microscope and they were loaded with cloudy trichromes. Took a few pics with my digital microscope camera, and I think they’re ready.
Review the pics and let me know what you think?

[Hopalong]

For what I can see, looks ready…

[Beard-O]

We chopped the Granite Haze 7 yesterday. 1. It was ready. 2. It was taking up valuable space.

Our tent is maxed out. We spent an our moving the 3 plants around to maximize the light, and keep the buds from getting burned.
Really happy with the Autopots and Canna nutes.

[Hopalong]

Looks likr decent jungle!

[Beard-O]

Here’s a few from the Granite Haze 7 we cut and have drying. Sorry for the crummy pic quality, best I could do with my phone.
There seem to be some nice trichromes.

[Beard-O]

Granite Haze 7 cut and drying. Dumped the coco and took a look at the roots.

For some reason this normally robust strain was a weakling. Probably not the strain, but either the individual seed, or something I did.

However the Airdome did its job as evidenced by my pic.
