Day 13. Girls are slow, but we had -5 during nights for a week, girls are in glassed terrace, so same temps as outdoors with just wind protection as extra ... grow is slow, but they managed to go through it ... Made huge mistakes by choosing those paper cups, root system developed really weak, it will take them almost 24 days till they went outdoors. i bought 2 different types of tomato soil, added 30% of peat mix, dug holes in very sandy spot, each girl got around 40 liters of my mix and were planted out . Happy Growing !

Approx. day 41 since seed touched soil. By look , its second week of flower, begining of it. Only one has started to flower, other two shows sex, but not in the mood yet. This is dangerous grow, i will visit very rare, think next update will be in 5-6 weeks, when first girl will be ready for harvest. All grow will go without any nutes added, economy style ;))) Happy Growing !!!

Approximately day 64 since seed touched soil. A bit too much nitrogen, a bit too cloudy, would need maybe PK boost, but i am not spending a penny more ;) i can smell garden 20 meters away, thats good ;) forest covering them a bit too much with all overgrow, Dryopteris should be cleaned, but i want to keep as discrete as i can. Bad weather for mushroom pickers, but wild raspberries are here, so i dont need collectors at my spot. Strain is stupid, regular autos is a big risk for guerilla grow. Biggest in height and width plant is MALE !!! So many hopes and i had to chop her, good that i visited, few balls were ready to open up .... second girl is showing female sex, but still in veg ... third is just a pathetic, small, but is close to harvest. would not plant them in good garden, would be sad if big money would be invested ... That strain wont get many starts from me, not consistent at all !!! 3 more weeks to go. Next update should be harvest week for first one ! Happy Growing !!!

approx day 72 from seed touching soil. From two left, one is almost finished, next friday chop day for her, other is still in veg mode, no obvious signs of sex, i still doubt wont it be a male like biggest girl ... such a pain in ass is this strain, no predictably at all ... we had huge rain, almost summons, some bottom branches of flowering one is covered in soil and sand mix, will need to wash her before hanging ... took one smallest branch off, smells nice, a bit pepper mint , abit of fruity. Sun was in bad position, was blinded by it, so quality of photos are pitty. Happy Growing !!!

Day 78 from seed touching soil. #1 was eaten by bud rot, really heavy, buds all in dirt, she was very low, overstreched from lack of light and water, so went all to bin. Two plants were worthless, last hope on late one . #2 is still going, shows preflowers, big plant. Happy Growing !!!

Day 108 since seed touched soil. #2 is going okeish, just got heavily hungry on potassium. Next day came and gave her wood ash, mono potash, epsom salt and super phosphate mix, rain came a day later, so all should be good. Gave her good trim of bottoms, like 4 branches went off, cleaned brambles around plant for better air circulation. She is not a heavy smeller, but sweet aroma is around plant. At the moment tichs are low too, hope production will increase with flower progress Happy Growing !!! .

Day 122. I think potassium issue was sorted, plant is healthy green, some marking stayed, but health is really nice. Buds develop, planning to chop and visit her in 3 more weeks. Had no camera on me. Day 126. Heavy fogs for three days, my garden tomatoes went black and bud rot started to attack stems, so i decided to check girl and make few photos of her .... BUD ROT !!! all top cola gone, ripped it with fingers, so plant l;ooks like chewed by animal ... Very strange strain, huge disappointment to me. Breeder is from Czech Republic, so should be addapted for Europe climat. I see no use of regular autos with such genetic spread, weak disease protection and no result in 3 totally diferent plants from same bag ..... Male , midget and late bloomer .... Both girls were attacked by bud rot ... Will visit in a week if i see any bud rot on lower branches - all goes to hash ... Happy Growing !!!

Week 19. Harvest

Happy Harvest Day!

1/10

Top Tao Seeds - Big Auto Tao Worst house and worst strains i ever tried. Regular auto seeds is insane in current world, especially when genetics is weak on all points, even strength/potency ... First wave : 3 seeds in - 3 seedlings. One worthless auto, small , caught bud rot, but i tried few buds, they were very weak by potency. Second girl was male ( regular auto ) . Third took almost 3 month to mature before starting flower, but was eaten by bud rot. Tried to salvage some for bubble hash, but had worst extraction ever. Strength is so little, that it made me so sad and i gave this rating, 1 star even too high in my opinion. Second wave - mix of top tao auto and tropical auto seed mix ( got a lot of promo seeds from them, so thought to give a chance ... ) 8 seeds used - got two plants out. Both MALES !!! Normal rate of regulars is around 6-7 girls to 3-4 males from 10 seeds, here it was way off ... I grow in illegal country, on other people land and such results are very sad for grower, my winter stash is far from my targets . Will never grow that house, fact. So its second banned house, next to hermied RQS genetics ...

Having tomatos at home is a great idea to detect likelihood of bud-rot. Would be great to see your hash making process when time comes too!

@MMSC16, that strain sucks, i extracted less than a gram and strength is absolute shit. Nothing to show in video, i wrote you my main points and threads that i found out with time. For good bubble, you need good trim, here strain was shit, nothing to share ;)))) I am pissed not only by result, but by fact that 3 out of 9 trees that i grew , brought me 0 result. Knowing that my second waves two gardens were trimmed by forest man when he was clearing young forest, so damage is even bigger ... have some weed for a month, all winter i will be training or reading books, longest detox in years ;))) Next spring i will diverse my grows into 3 totally different spots. 2 in same area didn't worked.

@AsNoriu, Man ! Thanks for the detailed response - do you think you'll upload any video or pictures when you get to it? Getting a portable washing machine is a great idea - and if they're cheap it's worth while for multiple runs of hash. Very interesting point about the green hash - I think I had that happen to me last time but didn't think much of it! Now I know, I'll be more specific with how I create the vortex and to be a bit more gentle. I remember last time I spun it very hard because it was so cold outside haha But patience gives better rewards it seems. Thanks again - your in-depth response is not only helpful for me but anyone else that has access to your diary. AsNoriu, Keeping the GD community alive and positive! Love it!

That looks really cool mate! The area is very clear, did you have to work the land a lot before transplanting?

@Hou_Stone, no, forester choped treas last summer and replanted fresh forest, i just use gaps between them, but had 4 trips to bring my soil mix, hard job in the middle of night, later 3 more trips to bring water and girls. all was done during one night, but thats all input i made, my third visit to spot, next one will be during chop time, depending on summer , its in 5-6 weeks i hope at least ...

it's good to see that there are growers who don't give up despite the difficulties and keep doing it even though the weather isn't always kind. Respect,mate!👍🌱🌞

@Grow_Outside thanks ! But this spot was compromised, someone harvested my second wave, so all efforts for nothing. Brought like 500 liters of soil, a bit sad, will be forced to search for new one ... Have fun in your project !

I appreciate the honesty you shared. Wish more people would be honest as well. Sorry that your stash will be light though.. that definitely sucks :(
Krisis
Krisiscommented4 months ago
@AsNoriu, Free or not- if it’s bad it’s bad haha. Your honesty will help others to avoid these products, which is a good thing, if they’re bad. Some people lie and say products are good when they aren’t, then others go waste money on junk. You will get plenty of respect from me and others for your truth

AsNoriucommented4 months ago
@Krisis, shit happens, i dont care about small fails. But this company products have many mistakes, i see them as worthless, so i wrote my review. I am not a pro, but i did some grows, some are documented here. Top tao seeds, RQS and one nute company was my biggest disappointments here. All got my fair opinion about them, despite me getting all those products for free ...
Grow4Releaf
Grow4Releafcommentedweek 19a month ago
That blows, I had tried all the strains they sent me for a photo contest, most didn't make it thru germ, let alone seedling few that did washed well. Ish , just weak like u mentioned.. I tried given the other strains a shot, but pretty disappointing when ur limited on space and plant count. Havnt tried RQS but probably won't lol. Thanks for that Lil heads up too lol.
AsNoriu
AsNoriucommenteda month ago
@grow4releaf rarely i was giving something below 7 points, here i just couldn't find why to give any point ... i spoke to other growers, most had weak weed from this house too. so i did my fair review....

@HerbalEdu, life is shit sometimes ;)))))))) every time after pitty results i promise myself to use only good genetics, but i try so many new ways or spots, that each time i think its better to run questionable genetics, despite having like 1000+ seeds in collection ;))) only two house disappointed me heavily , thats one of them ...
