Sheer Auto Purple XXL - Sheer Seeds - Spring Auto 2024

TommyBVRSA75 Automática 1 in great strength and growing... I love this vigorous genetic variety and the way it has reacted to the pH I've set. Very positive sign,...the way the living soil I've prepared is making the grows take off after moving the seedlings from the jiffy to the substrate. God Jah...now and always, may He bless you with good things. Green Greets...

TommyBVRSA75 Automática 1 a lo "muy loco" y ya en expresión de su muy particular genética y sus espacios de ramas y nervuras de hojas, con ya muy claros tonos morados (o no fuera la Sheer Purple). Impresiona por su empuje y gran capacidad de dar tirón desde su comienzo y así a final, con todas las ganas y expectativa del mundo, nos "jugamos las fichas" a lo muy bueno que se adivina. Así que hablemos de automáticas, que no es mi predilección pero que cuando al menos a cada "dos por tres" también las pongo a grow. Y os explico como he entrado en este proyecto de SoG en el cual me encuentro al presente día. Tengo centenares de semillas pues hago colección y siempre a cada par de meses, me pongo en internet a buscar semillas que me gustan por sus parentales y por lo que en general es más que el "humo" final, características botánicas que creo interesantes. Soy de la "política" que quien empieza en esto de grows canábicos, nunca habría de empezar por automáticas y os explico. Para que empecemos a desarrollar "skills" en esto y para que logremos entender como se pueden dominar las variables, sea en riego, en nutrición y en crecimiento que se pueda desear, nada como las fotoperiodicas de toda la vida y por qué habrá forma de entender por ejemplo, como, por qué y cuando fallamos en los intentos. Las fotoperiodicas aceptan errores por un margen mucho mayor del tiempo que es necesario. Por ejemplo, las fotoperiodicas resultan de maravilla para hacer experimentos en su vegetativo; para que se puedan sacar LST, HST y otras formas de por ejemplo hacer restricción y darle orientación a los grows. Os explico, siempre que hay que hacer algo "gordo" a un grow, sea una poda apical o algo más extremo, una automática si le hacemos cortes y las condicionamos a estrés fuerte, se paran como una semana o más y con eso si tenemos un grow para 60 dias de semilla a corte, si lo paramos 10 días, quedan 50 días de ciclo y com ello se resiente un montón lo que deseamos al final. Una automática que se pare diez días, puede representar la diferencia entre buenísimos cogollos o media docena de "copos de nieve" y si, esa es la idea central. Las automáticas no sirven para que hagamos cosas que nos detengan el ciclo de crecimiento y más las automáticas a veces son grows que "tíos alocados" les propinas palizas contra natura. Para mí, que alguien se ponga a sacar un grow de ciclo de luz 24/0 es de los más raro y absurdo que pueda resultar. O sea, es como poner cualquier sistema viviente sin descanso y con ello, al final, algo saldrá que no me resulta ni de lejos normal. Ayer, hoy y siempre, en autos, les haré ciclos 18/6, por equilibrio y por necesidad y que no me venga el primero que me diga, que con una automática pueda aprender, haciendo "hara Kiri" en ciclos luminicos o como algunas cepas que exigen cargas de nutrientes bombásticas...a quien esté empezando, mo consejo es que haya la paciencia y foco para tener un ser viviente por cuatro días más meses y que disfrutes de cada uno de los momentos....pasando por el comienzo y la germinación; después que seas tu el que le dita las cosas al grow...o sea te cambiare ciclo en la semana X por que quiero que te salgan 80 cms y no 1, 50 metros; para que la puedas manusear para que las ramas se direccionen para los espacios que deses que los nudos tengan para que te salgan cogollos xxl y no media docena de cogollos "avergonzados" y después para que en floración, la puedas cargar de nutricion según desees a la postre hacer extracciones o tener como objectivo calidad en tus cogollos. Las automáticas con el paso de los años han venido a ponerse mejores, pero siguen siendo genéticamente desequilibradas y grows que solo salen en la dirección para que están programadas y no la que el grower desee o necesite y en eso las fotodependientes se llevan la palma a toda linea. Y ahora os explico cómo un grower que no le estimula demasiado esto de las automáticas en esta temporada, se ha puesto a sacar un SoG de automáticas y más, un SoG diversificado. Cuando empece la temporada Spring 2024, lo tenía claro...dos fotodependientes al armario grow y tres automáticas al armario "custom" que tengo en un armario de madera de toda la vida con tres macetas de 9 litros coladas unas a otras y con la intención muy clara de tres automaticas para un centenar de gramos de hierba para media temporada y mientras las fotodependientes se hacen. Como soy coleccionador de semillas y por qué tengo centenares, perfectamente acomodadas en una nevera que la he modificado para que haga frío sin humedad y os explico. 1- empezé por germinar una Russian Autos de 42 Fast que por cosas de la vida, no germinó y con una pena tremenda. 42 Fast ya no tiene la cepa en el mercado y en una tienda de semillas online, la encargue aun sabiendo que sería una semilla de los tiempos de la pandemia, como 2020 y que por su transporte (llego en verano y cuando la saqué del sobre de transporte, se sentía el sobre caliente y en ese mismo momento, mi idea fue que esa semilla muy difícilmente se germinaria. No me engañe, pese a tenerla casi quince días en .eduo de germinación y sin lugar a dudas, estaba "estropeada" y cuanto a ello, poco a hacer sino aceptarlo y con lo que la Russian Auto, me gusta como humo de primerisima calidad. 2- como entendí que no cundiria la Russian Auto, saque de la Sheer Purple Auto XXL, que encargue mucho más que por el tipo de planta, por la caja donde vienen grupos de 5 semillas de Sheer Seeds, que es una autentica obra de arte. 3- como había preparado una segunda maceta con el sustrato que me había sobrado y para no tirarlo, tenía una de esas latitas de Advanced Seeds y de su Auto Bruce Banner XXL y germinó, pero al germinar entendí cuando le saque la cáscara que su pedúnculo radicular era de los más frágil y no me engañe, al ver que en 48 horas se empezaron a secar los cotiledones y anticipando lo que se veía venir y por qué había abierto el sobre de la Sour Ripper Auto (la Sour Diesel automática de Ripper Seeds y lo buenaza que resultó la temporada de fotodependientes de otoño de Ripper Seeds, puse una semilla de esta cepa y "colorin colorado" en menos de 24 horas, germinación, cotiledones verdes y abiertos y una plántula en gran vitalidad y así que la segunda automática de la temporada estaba encontrada. 3- como en la espera de la Sour Ripper Auto y como la Bruce Banner automática de Advanced había fallado a lo "Titanic" canábico y como tenía unas semillas sobrantes, ya con mucho tiempo, empezé a poner cepas automáticas bulk en desfile, primero la Black Jack Auto de Spain Bulk (fracasó por sensibilidad demasiada a la inclusión en el jiffy en la cual la transplanté) y después en el papel mojado donde había puesto esta ultima semilla y pensé...a ver, me sobra una bulk de la buenisima Blue Kush automática de Dinafem (soló que en version Bulk y con poquisima fé la saque a germinar...una de las semillas más pequeñas que me recuerdo haber puesto en germinación) y para que en caso de la bulk de Blue Kush Auto fallará (por bulk y por tan pequeña) y abrí un nuevo sobre de la moradisima LSD-25 Auto de 42 Fast Buds que también me sorprendió por su tamaño tan pequeño...y zás sin mucho más idea, la puse en el tupperware que uso como germinador de papel toalla empañado, las dejé como dos días sin siquiera darle la atención que se merecian y en eso, cuando le eche un vistazo a los tres dias, las pequenisimas semillas sacaban dos tallos radiculares gigantes, "pelludos" (con pilosidad radicular secundaria perfectamente formada y lista para jiffy y ponerlas en una maceta y así, "visto para sentencia" aquí está todo para que salga un SoG de automaticas y aún más difícil, un SoG con plantas desiguales...a ver, vaya reto, tengo en manos sin haberlo deseado. Y como veis y ahora os enseño las fotos...aquí está la bellísima Sheer Purple Auto ya sacando "maneras" y muy claro, con tallos ya morados, o no fuera ella una "purple". Así que me ha salido un desafío muy interesante y en eso veremos como el Sea of Green (y algunas purple) me saldrá y pongo fé en estas buenísimas automáticas y por lo que pueda venir de ellas. Os iré mientras enseñando como lo bueno venga y os dejo que os divirtáis viendo las evoluciones de tantas automáticas...nunca he tenido más que una y a ver con cuatro como se porta Green Greets... Y el Dios Jah En todos los momentos con nosotros.

TommyBVRSA75 Auto 1 - well, if things were already looking great regarding the photo-dependent ones, now on top of that, the autoflowering ones are also doing really well. In a week and a half, with the combination I showed you last week, combining the main 140-watt bluerple LED and if we complement this with the support of the two 26-watt TLEDs at 5100 Kelvin (white with vegetative growth functions), we have managed to overcome the huge limitation that the "bluerple" (purple) spectrums have always had, which always passed through the short space between the blue and red "far red" spectrum tips. And always those first three weeks where the "crushing" of the grows left the grow at a tremendous distance between the canopy and the light source, and starting grows with internodal spaces barely any distance between them. With this, the norm... areas of development with little interior light and limited breathing, and this "custom" of placing the two full-spectrum TLEDs (or better, 5100 K white spectrum) side by side with the main LED with the four purple modules has allowed us to achieve a very respectable nearly 200 watts over a grow area of 0.40m², which we have been able to create with some ingenuity and with one of those mylar covers that in summer, we use on the car window when we go to the beach, enough to reflect the more interior areas of branches and internodes. For now, I'm very satisfied with the excellent genetics from another of the "custom" banks that are not yet advertised on GD, Sheer Seeds, which I mentioned caught my attention at first because of the box the seeds came in, which is a true work of art. Then, of course, a purple strain that from day one started showing its purple genetics, and it's very easy to see that the buds and the interior structure of the strain will be purple without a doubt. God Jah is already giving me clear ideas with three airpots - 2 of 9 liters and 1 of 11 liters in this space. And with the distribution done, what we will do is a simple SoG, using the plastic guides you can already see in the photos and taking into account the calculated risk, but taken without reservations in one of the 9-liter airpots and on each of the margins - to grow two different strains - the colorful LSD-25 Auto from 42 Fast Bud's and another with purple colors - the bulk of the Auto Blue Kush XXL from the distinctive automatic strain of the rebranded Dinafem. And to complete the SoG, and I will show you in the other Auto diary, the Sour Ripper Auto, meaning the automatic version of Sour Diesel from Ripper Seeds, which is one of the most valued autoflowering strains on the market, and if it comes from Ripper Seeds, there will be little doubt about what we will end up with. So dear brothers, 420 always, God Jah protecting us with faith and keeping us safe from all dangers. Green greets

TommyBVRSA75 Sheer Purple Auto XXL - automatic 1 It's already noticeable that the strain is starting to gain flowering structure at its tops. It's a strain that, due to its purple color, already hints at its cola area with its purple branches, and this week there was a need to do some defoliation to gain space for light and oxygen in the lower parts. The brown spots on the leaves are actually from the application of Neem oil since we had some signs of pest activity, so we had to start spraying the grow to limit any caterpillar or pest with the same method to ensure high-quality growth. The strain is strong and I'm sure it will be productive at the right point in its cycle, especially since we have four automatic grows going at the same time. May God Jah offer us all the good for these auto season grows. 420 Always

TommyBVRSA75 El famosísimo video para que os enseñé que no está la cosa para bromas. 420 siempre...Green Greets!!

TommyBVRSA75 Sheer Purpel XXL Auto...following along and just halfway through the cycle. Good and strong smell already...promises.

TommyBVRSA75 Let's see, important things this week. 1- Autoflowering strains and their whims. They give you the indications in seed banks that from the day of germination to the day of harvest, it's X (let's say 70 days) and even though it's a reference for the duration of the cycle, autoflowering strains due to their ruderal genetics, make the flowering onset happen, and I've had almost everything, starting with grows that have started flowering on day 30 (in a planned cycle of 70) and in the final 40 days, things as incredible as minimal flowering in less than 4 weeks from the expected harvest and then, as if they literally "explode" and form impressive buds in 20 days. 2- Others, on the other hand, are very linear in their processes and it's even as if despite their ruderal genetics, they could be influenced by light exposure (which probably doesn't happen) and that during the periods they can occur very reliably - a vegetative phase for a total cycle of 70 days, for example, that has its 30 certain days and then a flowering that goes until the end of the cycle with very firm growth and in line with the duration time - the first pistils, then the development of pistils and leaves for calyx structure and then, fattening of buds with resins and terpenes - but everything happening in a very proportional way and without "jumps" suddenly as I mentioned in the previous topic. 3- I've also had a few autoflowering grows that hardly had vegetative expression and then while the flowering grew, there was also a vertical stretch, almost as if the cycle had a vegetative phase from start to finish (and that without, for example, adding flowering nutrition, just a milliliter of nitrogen, in the supposedly flowering period). 4 - Conclusions: For me, it's still complex to understand the phenotypic expression of autoflowering strains, but something becomes easy to observe and conclude, which is the tremendous lack of genetic stability that many autoflowering strains (even those from the "star" seed banks that spend millions on sales marketing) have, and that happens because the rules of the game for seed banks are to put out photos for sale of buds every six months to what I call "burger buds" because in the photos, you eat them by colors and people also, and in a very dazed way, get into grows of many autoflowering strains that, nowadays, sell what I consider toxic THC levels - for me, a strain with 16% THC and a good entourage with other cannabinoids is better and safer for health than things that are "given away" with THC levels well above 30% and I've always liked that the smoke is pleasant for me and that I can engage in activity, instead of lying down and in paranoid delirium. 5 - On the more technical side... defoliation week and defoliation very much at my discretion since it was very noticeable that due to the reduced dimensions of the autoflowering grows, in the lower parts there was a very significant amount of what are designated as "vampire branches" and fan leaves that at this moment were nothing more than limiting to the contributions of oxygen/carbon dioxide and humidity concentration at the physical limit of the substrate with the atmosphere. To those who are starting, always give the information that you just need to create conditions for the upper third of the branches to eventually become flowering space. The lower thirds of the grows should be clean of thin branches that don't catch light or fan leaves that for the same reason only hinder and have very serious implications regarding final productivity. Therefore, the "vampires" need to be removed when the branches where they are inserted already have thickness and resistance so that the "vampires" can be pulled out without, for example, having dried from the branch. THIS PROCEDURE INDOOR - REMOVAL OF "VAMPIRE" BRANCHES AND FAN LEAVES AT THE LOWER LIMIT OF THE GROW - IS MANDATORY TO OBTAIN HIGH-QUALITY AND SIZE BUDS (and do not confuse defoliation with FIMming or with apical cuts because autoflowering strains usually suffer tremendously and can even "get ruined" with maneuvers that involve high stress). 6 - On the more technical side and why I haven't been very specific yet on the way of nutrition with the nutrients/contributions from Top Crop: * From what you can see in the nutrition, each of the nutrients is only used once a week and I usually make a table where each day I prepare the solution according to the grow. So for example; Monday - Water 1L (clean water) Tuesday - Big One 2ml/L Wednesday - Top Candy 2ml/L Thursday - Water 1L (clean water) Friday - Top Auto 3.5 ml/L Saturday - Water 1L (clean water) Sunday - Water 1L (clean water) What Top Crop does in line with control is very much based on pH levels and if the recommendation is 5.8-6.2, experience has taught me that yes, those are the limits in vegetative... but in flowering, I maintain the limit between 6.4 -6.7 and for autoflowering strains, starting with more than 6.2 and from the beginning of flowering to the end of the cycle, the ideal pH is always above 6.6 and never exceeding 6.8. Pay close attention because when it comes time to give: - four times throughout the grow cycle, the wonderful Top Mass, for being one of the best silicon contributions on the market and for its formulation that allows for very effective silicon absorption - three times throughout the cycle of Barrier (also silicon and contribution of amino acids and base chelates and very effective for preventing stress of all types and pest attacks (as I always prepare soil with mycorrhizae, trichoderma, and atmospheric recapturing bacteria, I have no memory of any pest I might have had since mycorrhizae and trichoderma are put in the substrate) - the CalMag, which depending on the type of water is included more or less times. Usually, in what I've done in the cycle, both in autoflowering and photoperiod-dependent, I've only used it a couple of times. The CalMag when you use soft water (with little or no mineralization); when working especially with coco or other substrates in this line and with a tendency to great porosity and little retention, and now I'll explain why I used it this week, because when, for example, a greater inclusion of PK levels (phosphorus and potassium) is made, the magnesium and calcium from the CalMag improve the performance of the "pump" for PK absorption and the integration of the greatest possible amount of these two is the difference between beautiful, fat, and resinous buds or half a dozen "hairy" ones huddled together. - You've seen that just like even with the nutrients from Top Crop and their flowering inducer which is Top Bloom, for me there are things I don't change or put on the back burner and Delta 9 from Cannabiogen is much more than just another flowering inducer. It's a product of the highest quality, with one of the most balanced compositions ever thought of and also a perfect way to compensate for deficits, because if formulating amino acids, sugars, and compensating macro and micro elements is unbeatable. To those of you who have already worked with it and know it, you know how to use it and in full flowering, no harm will come if in a month, every ten days through fertigation (a total of three times) you take out your grows with Delta 9. 7 - Throughout the week: Max Temp (lights on period): from 23 to 26ºC Min Temp (lights off period): from 20 to 22ºC Relative Humidity Variations: between 68% and 89% Ambient CO2 Ratio: from 406 (min.) to 568 (max.) And here you have the highlights of the week... may God Jah always protect us from all dangers - in grow and outside of it - 420 always and for the right to cultivate for recreation without profit motives and cannabis as a product of sustainability; medical and recreational use and positive use. Green Greets to all the brothers. Tom

TommyBVRSA75 So in the other reserved space, we have the autoflowers and they are exploding in flowering, despite the limitations in the light power received by the grow area. The Auto Sheer Purple XXL is showing itself in all its glory with everything good that can be highlighted. So far, it has been an amazing automatic grow, solid and with many ways. Very good internode spaces and a flowering that, as XXL, explodes from the base to the top without limits. I’m still waiting for the buds to go through the process of turning purple, which is the predominant phenotype, and it seems that this will be a process that will occur with great vigor in the last two weeks. I invite you to like and comment, and I’m sharing photos of the heterogeneous composition of the SOG space in the autoflower area, highlighting, for example, that you take a look at the evolution of another beauty, which is LSD 25, and that due to its colors and fruity aroma, it stands out. 420 always, and your likes and follows will be very important for us to reach 1000 likes as soon as possible so I can become a Master, as I might be one of the oldest still holding the Apprentice title, and without underestimating that I am and will always be a learner, when it comes to loving this wonderful plant, I would really like you to help me reach that goal. 420 always, and a big shoutout to all my grower brothers. God Jah always in command.

TommyBVRSA75 The Auto Sheer Purple is an autoflowering strain that is a beauty, and as the weeks go by and we approach the end, there are characteristics that become very evident. 1- The first is that the buds, which have always been whitish throughout the flowering stage, are now significantly turning purple (or tending towards purple) in the last days, and the photos clearly show this characteristic. 2- It’s a strain with a magnificent aroma, somewhat leaning towards the Critical genetics and their fruity scents (which is something common to all the strains I’m developing in the grow space). 3- It’s very evident that the cycle is just finishing, but we’ll let the base buds develop a bit more. The strain is an XXL, and it’s clear that even in a SoG system, this grow is packed with medium/small-sized buds. And a reminder for the future with Sheer Seeds strains, when they announce XXL, it’s because they will be XXL, and at least in terms of productivity, they are incredible. 4 - In the photos, you will also see the LSD 25 Auto from 42 Fast Buds, due to the simultaneous characteristics like coloration, even though the LSD 25 is almost black. The aromas are very similar with a strong fruity scent and the particularity of its microscopic characteristics where pink, red, and purple glands stand out. 420 always and I hope that God Jah can protect us both in terms of the grow and external factors.

TommyBVRSA75 Let's see... final days of the cycle and the Sheer Purple showing its pink phenotype, it's undoubtedly a super productive one and what’s taking a bit longer is waiting for the homogenization of maturation in the lower limits of the grow. All the grows in the SoG of the autoflowers I put to grow this cycle are generally plants with purple genetics and the aromas are very much in the berry line even though this Sheer has a hash aroma that is also quite noticeable. The grow has developed a very considerable number of branches and it’s very clear that at the top there’s a significant number of buds. The top buds are already ready with a very significant density and a set of resin and terpenes that is also quite significant. There’s some B-caryophyllene that has a hint of lavender that becomes very noticeable and surely with drying and curing it will be very interesting smoke material and also because as announced it’s a strain with a very considerable percentage of THC and a great amount of CBD so that the entourage gives us a strain that is not only interesting as a recreational one but also with medicinal character. 420 Always and maybe this is the last or second to last entry before the flush and taking it to harvest. May Jah protect us always and may our grow reach a beautiful end.

TommyBVRSA75 Let's see if with the photoperiodics the cycles are finished according to the calculations made. I didn't foresee that with each of the strains in the SOG, the cycles would finish some a week earlier and others later, and so due to the uneven evolution they've had, the purple strains Sheer Purple Auto, which is an XXL in production, and the LSD25 from Fast Bud's finished at the same time - being a pure indica and a pure sativa, and supposedly having unequal cycles - what I aimed for in this SOG was to test that with different seeds, it's possible to make it profitable so that in a 50 x 50 space of a classic cabinet with a sunshade that you put on in summer to prevent cars from burning inside, and using an old 190-watt bluerple LED + 2 PLEDs of 5100K at 26 watts each, I could achieve optimal penetration conditions so that the autoflowering harvests would be quite acceptable, and I've partially succeeded. In the macro and microscope, you can see, for example, and if you compare it to the photoperiodics, the trichomes are lush - especially the trichomes of the LSD-25 Auto, which is a true festival of colors - incredible pigments in its trichomes with orange, blood red, purple, and yellow tones, I mean, they are simply amazing, and I just invite you to enjoy what the pigments of this strain present. As I had already told you with the photoperiodics, we will take one more week with clean water irrigation for the final flush, and the next photos will be of the flowers and branches already in drying position. Thank you God Jah for your kindness and 420 to all the brothers. I beg you, we are almost at 915 likes and every day more is one less for me to become a GD Master...let's see if I deserve it after 15 grows and two years where weekly I share notes with you all about everything that happens in this wonderful world.

TommyBVRSA75 Thank you for your support! Gracias por vuestro apoio! Finally...por fin....Master on GD Thanks to Jah God and all of you 420 always!
