So yeh, it’s been a pretty self sustaining plant in the sense, iv not really had to do anything to do it after the initial tie down in veg! It’s pretty mad actually - it’s probably the least work intensive plant iv ever grown, and I’m used to working with auto’s primarily if you look at my diaries.
Thats going to change though…electricity has forced me back into the 12/12 crew.
So with nothing having been done to the plant - there is something that’s concerning me and that’s the fact I can’t see ANY trichomes at all on this plant but its complicated by the fact that I also can’t really get to it very easily. To give you an idea the room is 1m deep and the tent is 60cm deep. It’s also backing onto the main window of the corridor and so I have patterned ‘hanging’…well…hanging over the whole window to block the view.
Thing is, if I leave the door to the grow room open it lights my hallway up like the starship enterprise - I’m actually more of a star wars guy but hey that’s the saying!
So i tend to remove the dehumidifier that’s on wheels, then lock myself in - I say lock, I just shut the door and THEN I feel comfortable opening the tend but by that point I’m having to be half IN the tent!
It’s pretty annoying and the window is such an annoying shape I’d have to get specially-made blinds which would cost a lot so f that, when I had double the amount of light and the room lined with a tent I had no hanging whatsoever so it can’t be THAT bad, it’s just I have to be SUPER careful - that extends to having to be really quiet when I’m in the grow room or when I’m pouring irrigate into the res.
I still find it mad that this plant was started as the exact same time and topped in the same way and yet the difference between this and the tropicanna.
Also, you can tell the tropicanna and actually all the other plants have some sativa in them by the length of the stem of the fan leaves - you just don’t get them quite as long with auto’s and they are more uniform if they are ‘long stemmed’. I don’t mean thin fingered, I mean the stem that connects the leaf to the cola.
Anyway…..not much else to write. Am expecting to harvest soon(ish) but tbf that’s a pretty boring phase because I always do a dry trim. It slows down the dry of the whole plant, I find. It just suits my environment.
Well, the housing people have to give me 4 weeks notice if they are coming round and it’s due to be cut - with the one that actually looks like it’s due to be cut in 2 weeks so I THINK they are safe unless I get raided by the police. I don’t sell or anything and have no friends so it’s not like they can really come across me unless it’s via something else and they happened to see. I think the key to hiding in plain site is lack of smell, lack of tell and I can’t remember the rest of the saying!! Those two alone combined with the way that I’m hiding in plain site seems to be going okay.
I must say that the spider farmer carbon filter and the 6” Mars H smart fan (extraction) and it’s been great. It STINKS when I open my tent so I am pretty proud of that. Iv previously gone with non branded cheap carbon filters from Amazon/ebay and usually the last couple of weeks are a struggle - it would be struggling by now. Mind you I did have like 5 massive plants and the whole room kitted out using a 125mm/ 5” fan. The RAM one - iv learned to steer well clear of that brand. Why would a GROWING company add a bloody light to light the whole humidifier up? It makes no sense. It was just something I had to break in order to use!
Madness. Before, it herm’ed my grow! Tbf this one could be, iv avoided squeezing buds but I don’t think so. When they were pollinated, all different plant varieties smelled the same. I dunno; I guess we’ll see! Haha I can’t see any ‘nana’s or balls so think I’m good - for now.
@Rabidreject, hey man, i don’t know why but I have only just me notified of this message. Hope you are keeping well dude. She looks beautiful. How come your having to hide everything?
@Green_Man_420, thanks bro - I find diesel to be really good medically so should be interesting….the question is - which out of all the strains that I have going, do I put in the Autopot XL? I’m thinking the MAC tbh - either that or the red sweet seeds one tropicanna poison. I’ll decide that closer the time though. I want to put the flowering auto in there that’s in the small cupboard but I’m thinking how am I going to feed that with one res while the others re hooked up to a second one, or I suppose I could just carry on hand watering for now….or switch them so the vegging ones are in the small tent and i could switch the expensive to run, inline extraction fan, to a fan similar to the intake USB powered and just takes up way less energy.
How did I start making a comment congratulating you and end up talking bout nothing but me? Selfish, clearly!
