DAY 56 Flowering: Well here we are growmies. It is that time.... we have bud porn , beautiful leaves naturally fading and adding to the Autumn looking harvest. The 2 Girl scout cookies have kept a really happy pace this week with the #2 still pushing fresh pistils out and swelling. She is getting nice and tacky too. Both of the girls smell like a candy shop raid now too. My filters are useless in regards to these ladies but I am not complaining . Lol
After I finished the video , I decided it was time for the #2 Girl , who is now sat in the dark trying to figure out where the sun and her sister has gone. She will get 48 hours , then be trimmed for drying and curing. The other girl will be joining her some time this week too for sure but as her pistils are so fresh in a lot of places , she will get to dance a little longer .
The Amnesia girls are slowly building trichs and bud weight now on their last stretch before ripening those trichs. Only the #3 has any real signs of fade so far too which could be down to wrong feeding when I assumed she was a Girl scout cookie. The buds on her look very much like the Amnesia too. Thet remind me of cacti close up !. The rectangular girl #2 has kept all her jewels tucked away inside her frame but i have made sure there is plenty of airflow within her bush to keep the nasties away. All in all they look very potent and I can already see the lost fine and forgotten tasks within those crystal ball trichs. Lol
The guest critical cheese is slowly ambling along and looks bare in comparison to the other strains. She still has about 3 weeks , alongside the Amnesia haze , to fill out those long colas. Fingers crossed. Until next time growmies. Be safe and well.
@Cannabeast40,I normally go straight to pot or jiffy but did a soak to hopefully speed the germ up. I try not to handle the seeds at all and with autos , I am even more cautious.lol
easy to rot a seed in the propagator too as I have found out a few times. Paper towels can be difficult with fast seeds if they attach those tiny lateral roots with autos too so I avoided that method in case. A couple of the seeds still floating after 24 hours too which can indicate a non starter in my experience and from a few seed selection articles I found too. Thankfully the rest look really happy and settled already. Thanks canna
@Ganjagrandaddy,if i were you, i woud germinate in wet towels, leave in dark with 23-25 degrees, within 12-24 hours. When sprouted transplant to jiffyยดs, a little week, then transplant to final pot ๐ i have very close to 100% succes this way. U2 buddy ๐
@Antares,thanks Antares. Never seen this shape naturally before but definitely down to the plant itself too. Could be interesting to watch unfold. Lol. Welcome aboard buddy.
They all look cracking mate, hopefully the critical cheese bulks out a little bit ๐ค(gotta love abit of cheese!)
Excellent video as always! Lovely autumn colours with the fade on the other girls aswell pal ๐
Looking forward to seeing what your harvest will be.
Stay safe brother
Peace โ๏ธ
@UKPersonal420,cheers mate. Loving how they are fading out naturally too. It's when the best colours show out and we are lucky in some ways that our huge temp drops at lights off here in blighty , help to colour them. Used to make me smile when I read about a small temp drop of a few degrees when here we get a huge drop in winter. Lol .it brings the purples out well but I do use a tubular heater to stop the freeze getting them. Lofts are a pain. Lol. 1 nearly ready for her trim up and dry now too so the fun begins again. Lol
just got the testers through too ,13 strains for 2022 release. Will be some fun running through those in the coming months. Thanks for the positives
excellent video and diary entry as always ๐
I canโt ever seem to bend a stem 90 degrees like that without breaking it.
Hopefully the second one repairs well enough and is able to still carry nutrients efficiently.
Other than that all these ladies look very happy and healthy! Bring on the early flowering signs ๐
@UKPersonal420,thanks UK. I did snap one trying to get her back over , doh. Hard when so small and no space between the nodes. Once bigger , a thumb and finger rolling motion as you apply pressure , has the stem slowly weakening then a kind of mushy feel. Allows a full 180ยฐ if long enough. Lol. It slows the node down nicely with these autos too. I sometime "pop' the stem with a firm press until a popping sound. This allows a good bend but does risk a snap. Always repairable on a photoperiod with time though, unlike these bloody autos. Lol
@MariRemediesLLC,wow what a pleasant comment Bigdoon4. Thank you . I really enjoy growing and seeing what the strains push out. We learn a lot together here which is the beauty of such a community. Seeing methods and ideas being tried and shown has helped me hugely. Be well growmie.
