Placed President seeds Gelato-Bin-Laden (auto-flower) seed between two paper-towels. Placed the paper-towels into a saucer and lightly sprayed the paper-towels with H20. Put another saucer on top of it, Than placed the entire contraption on top of my PlayStation. Checked on it regularly to ensure the paper-towels were not dry, and until the taproot reached about 1cm. Than Placed the germinated seed into my 15l growbag which was filled about 80% with my pre-mixed living soil made with slow-releasing nutrients to accommodate the auto-flower gene.

This week was hair-shredding😬!!! Waiting for the first signs of life from my baby marijuana plant was intense! You more than likely know what I am talking about😅. But when I saw her little silky body emerge from the soil, I was a proud Father! She stood at about 5cm tall, and i haven't stopped smiling since. I only feed her Pure H2o, and spray the outside layer of soil with the molasses mix to ensure a proper and stable enviroment is set for my baby Bin_laden.

Was amazing to see how much this lady stretched and grew tall...was very surprised to see her flowering so early even though it's an autoflower.. With the bloom nutrients I slowly introduced her to it, starting at 1ml per liter of water, since she is an autoflower it's better to give her small doses until she builds her tolerance slowly. Other than so far her size is big in this stage, truly awesome strain

She's getting real thirsty during flowering...I'm not trying to over feed her. Just keeping the process as simple as possible.. Abit of boost in PK for root and bud development 👌

Would it be a good idea to harvest now? First time growing an autoflower strain

You gotta look at the trichs, you can't just go off how your buds look. That's the true way to tell ripeness. Unless it's a strain that the pistils doesn't darken/shrivel much, it appears as if you still have a ways to go. Possibly as long as a month.

Week 11. Harvest

Happy Harvest Day!
Rated
9/10

The smell of the Bin Laden Gelato bud in week 8 is almost similar to Gorrilla Glue as well as the buds texture...being sticky icky icky icky and full of resin, Glad I waited an extra week before harvesting...Harvested on Week 11...Unfortunately I did not add the extra 2 weeks on the diary, my bad! Now just waiting for her to dry, and will start with the curing procedure. One thing for sure though, these genetics and breeder is awesome, especially for growers in the southern region 😀. Very Impressive.

I'm busy growing this same strain from President Seeds too :D The wind has totally thrown my GBL around a little but such great genetics and she's bouncing back pretty quickly. Good luck with your grow buddy!

@SouthernIndica, yeah trying out the autoflower strain from the breeder, just a test run..I'm situated in PE, so it does get really windy here so I use multiple stakes outdoors to support the colas and main stem..

@SirBudAlotts, I noticed you have the Auto varient. Mine is a photoperiod, she is busy with week 10 of veg. Cape town wind is crazy and caused some damage but managed to snip about 10 clones from the broken branches. Yeah harvest is when it really shows, guess we can do nothing but wait in suspense lol

SirBudAlottscommenteda year ago
@SouthernIndica, and how many weeks or days you've been growing her? Yeah absolutely great genetics so far, but will have to wait til harvest lol.. Goodluck with your grow too😊

Mmmm and how did she smoke?
SirBudAlotts
SirBudAlottscommenteda year ago
@Xpie77, She tasted like sunshine 🌞...the smell was very good...More on the Indica side, even though I harvested her a lil earlier, was hoping that due to the tricombes being slightly amber that I was gonna get a more uplifting high lol..But other than that...very impressive 👌😍

SirBudAlottscommenteda year ago
@Xpie77, I actually tried my first proper hit last night and loading her in the bong chamber was a blessing 🙌...the smell was close to a chocolatey flavor, unbelievably smooth 👌...No lie!
