I do not envy the trimming chore that lies ahead of you, but that plant is likely to break your scales! I'm guessing she'll be a 3/4 pounder!

@Dunk_Junk, Ya, same here..I pulled 224g (8oz) from an Early Miss...it will take an XXL to beat that I think. It looks to me like your PE will weigh in somewhere between 9 and 10oz ..she's fuckin' massive!

@Silverback_Guerilla, missed this comment! The trimming is the only part I dislike. But as we all know is is a necessary evil though 😑 Looking forward to the final dry weigh. My best yet is 8oz from a Stardawg. I'm hoping this is more 😋

@TheBudWhisperer, I'd love to know the ins and outs of the commercial breeding process. How the seeds from each plant get 'treated'. Are they kept separate or mixed with seeds from other plants. I have another 4 of these seeds to run but it will be a while until I will need to grow another LOL. But it will be interesting to see what the others turn out like.

@Dunk_Junk, I’m doing this strain from FB on DWC next run so I’ll let you know👍. Seen a few already though and I think this is an abnormal one-off bro. Odds are good it had fem. genetics only and for whatever reason didn’t produce with ruderalis traits??? No idea dude

@Dunk_Junk, np dude. And I’ll do ya one better - if you want to see it in real time on a stretchy plant like yours, check out @MG2009 diaries. Guy’s a grower of beasts and has video of it - check the ghost train haze grow if memory serves😉👍

@TheBudWhisperer, see... that's what I love about this site. I've learned something there in your description. 😎 I was very afraid of doing exactly what you describe! I didn't want the stem to distort so didn't put too much tension on the wires. I made sure to spread it over a large arc rather than a point and have it crease. It's something I will seriously consider in future if needs be. Thanks! 👌

TheBudWhisperercommented6 years ago

@Dunk_Junk, well, not exactly - I’d refer to supercropping more as extreme bending rather than “snapping”. You pinch/delicately crush the area of stem that you want to bend over in your fingers so that it loses its rigidity and can then be bent over and tied down (sorta like what you’re gonna do anyway). You could do it at this stage of growth as it’s still only early flower and I’ve had good results myself. The plant tends to focus on the other colas more evenly dispersing growth. That said, you don’t exactly have a problem with yield on this girl 😉lol so might be unnecessary if u can accomplish the same thing with lst. Good luck bud!👊

Sorry guys but i grew few plant in my life and there is no way this girl is 500gr dry weight. I just can't see the point why to lie, and put wet fresh buds in a jars like it a dry cured bud. This girl is 150gr max in dry bud. But still very good result for autoflower.

@smoking_hills9, No I didn't confuse wet and dry weights. I never weigh wet because I think it's pointless.

@Dunk_Junk, All I am saying, is that half a kilo, I used to have from 2 m tree, outdoor. And trust me I know how half a kilo of dry bud looks like and it's nothing like on your pics. I think u just confused wet and dry weight.

@smoking_hills9, Hahahaha! 😂 😂Thanks for your backhanded compliment. No lies here dude. It's all documented. Plenty of pictures for evidence. All of the pictures taken of bud on scales is fully dry. They were not taken straight after the wet trimmed pics... If you followed in real-time back then you'd have waited to see final harvest dry pics 😎 💪

@CommanderCannabis, Thank you! She really didn't mind me fiming the side branches at all. The amount of flowers on those are ridiculous. My FIMing failed on the main stem, looking back I really should have repeated it when I realised it had failed. All in all a very strong plant. Gonna be a good Christmas dude! 😎 👍

TheIceCreamParlourcommented6 years ago

@Dunk_Junk, I'm running some pineapple now and toying with the idea of adding some 100w strip LEDs about halfway up the plants to see what difference it makes to those lower sites. I've seen others get good results. Shes a beauty though! Keep up the good work.

@TheIceCreamParlour, You and me both buddy!! She's an absolute monster! I'm actually glad the tent is full of Sativas, their leaves are so much thinner than Indica plants. There's quite a lot of light penetration through the leaves to the lower flowers but they are noticeably less developed.

JerMedscommentedweek 96 years ago

Well this is a good problem too have 😁 IMO I would LTS and spread her out wider and I would tie down the main branch. I had a monster (Sativa pheno) Critical +2.0 auto that was in a small 20 inch X 45 inch X 40 inch. I had to tie down the main branch and use alot of LST and even some HST, but she fit and yielded 12oz for my trouble.

JerMedscommented6 years ago

@Dunk_Junk, Well you grow um big for sure 💪. During my last grow 2 Blue amnesia XXL finished up early and I was able to spread out and focus my lights on a Sour Diesel Haze Auto and she loved it. I just had to bend the main stem on one of my tallest sativa pheno Incredible Bulk Auto last night because she grew past the lights (diarie updated with pictures). I'm growing 7 of them and they are some real beauty's. Check um out if you haven't already.

@JerMeds, wow man, 12oz is pretty awesome. Well done! The problem I have with her is my 1.5m x 1.5m tent is too small for 4 fully grown plants 😭 As I harvest the others in the tent, she will be spread out to the available space. I'm thinking Blue Dream will be done in a couple of weeks, CBD Lime maybe a couple of weeks later. This will free up a load of space for her to stretch out into 😍

BeefWellingtonscommentedweek 56 years ago

I did a little research on this and it looks like it's most likely that your ph was off. So it may be balanced now, but in the past week did you see it too low or high? (This would cause it to have a slight lockout and deny it the potassium and other stuff). I noted that you are not posting your ph, is it at 5.8 or something else? My ph seems to sway a lot so that is probably what is happening with yours as well. I think your plants look great by the way, just keep checking the ph and I'm sure she will recover just fine.

Dunk_Junkcommented6 years ago

@Will_journals, I'm pretty sure this is what is happening now I have increased feeding. I will dial it back a little and alternate plain water every so often. This is what I found successful in previous exploits 😋 Thank you for your input! 👊 👌

Will_journalscommented6 years ago

PH fluctuations happen in the reservoir, but not in the coco coir. If it's a lockout it could be from build up of salts from the nutes in the coir. This happens sometimes from not watering enough to runoff. Check the PH coming out the bottom of its off from what is going in.....keep watering until it matches. Coir is inert absolutely no chemicals so what goes in comes right out as it should with a 20% runoff every feed

Dunk_Junkcommented6 years ago

@BeefWellingtons, I totally do not check my PH at all.... But up until now I've fed quite light. This time I am pushing the ppm's (for me) quite high. I am thinking of dialling them back a little for the future.

Topshelf420commentedweek 195 years ago

very interesting! seems to have similarities to the pure sativa pheno that I had :-)

Topshelf420commented5 years ago

@Dunk_Junk, hell yeah that sounds awesome bro! :D I absolutely agree and i love having a long lasting sativa even if it takes a few more weeks until finish.. or months. Always worth it, because I personally grow hybrids or indicas mostly. Especially now, that I only do Autos indoors because of the small space I got available. 1.44 m² Fingers crossed for both of us to get some more Sativa hybrids haha Cheers

@Topshelf420, I've just looked at yours! Yes very similar plants!!! Typical sativa taking ages, I remember mine almost refused to make amber trichomes 😂 She was something special though. I did not realise it during the 11 months she lasted, but afterwards I missed a very nice pure sativa in my collection. I will grow her again someday and I'm hoping to have another sativa pheno next time around 😍

@TheIceCreamParlour, I'm thinking two weeks max. But I'm quite surprised how slow things are going tbh... She's cantering towards harvest 😋 Also I'm not sure how to do this harvest. Normally I'd stagger the harvest over a few weeks, but this one I may just throw the lower buds in to make hash and keep the upper stuff no matter if it's milky enough 😏
