This is again, my first auto. I enjoyed growing it and watching it's development. I started of with regular potting soil, ran into some problems, bounced slightly back, and was in a spin of losing 4 leaves a day. Not sure what I had in the end as a problem since I had no more gnats, regulated nutes, and good temps with ventilation... maybe the auto's die off that fast near the end? I don't know, but I am looking forward to my next Auto.
But now when I see noobies asking on forums: "Hey all any tips, just planting an auto cuz it's easier..."... no, it can be harder with a shorter window to respond to problems. It was for sure a little more tedius grow than my last one...and I had less to work with in last grow. Thanks to RQS genetics for giving me a seed that was resisting my errors yet again, and netting me out on over 140Gr of bud.
I am happy with this plant and the final result. The high is a little less trippy and more body and muscle relax. I do get munchies. I decent stone with a not too much cerebral. when I take it in day, I am mellow and calm enough yet focused enough to work. It won't knock you out unless you smoke heavily in the morning. And it will knock you out before bed .
Compared to Blue Mystic, my first Regular fem seed, I prefer Blue mystic. Blue mystic not only gave me the Indica relaxation as this one, but it was a little more cerebral. A little better balance. I won't be buying this one for any particular reason again, but I have a few seeds left and I would like to regrow it some time. But as a second pot in a scrog, not a main grow.
I plan on LSD from Barney seeds in my next grow in July, 2019.
This is my first auto. I hear you should remove as little as possible leaves, or none at all. My plant is bushy :) Look at my week 8 here, should I , later on around two weeks before harvest, do defoilage to expose the maximum amount down the stalks? Or will that stress her out?
the auto appreciate the defoliation but not exaggerated I always remove many leaves to leave air and light ..... above all when they are beautiful full
if instead the strain has little foliage I won't touch it........
in your case, looking at the picture ... just remove the low ones that take little or no light.......nice plant!!
does not seem but the soil is important personally I used those minerals and I found myself well ... now let's try the coconut :) ... strength that you will collect well😉
@UnkleSkunk, Thanks for the info. I looked up the strain. Looks tasty! Although, I am looking for some effects a little different this time (more head like), but I for sure want to keep the indica effects for my bad back (helps a lot).
@@GreenGrowGreen, there are so many strains it's like a gold rush in the cannabis culture right now it's hard to follow all these strains coming out. What's nice about having all these new hybrid strains is you can really target the ratio you want, for instance if you go on the breeders website you can have a look to see the lineage and the ratio spread between Indica and Sativa. It's a personal preference and I'm not the most experienced to give you advice. It's up to you to really discover what works for you. Strawberry Lemonade is a 30-70 or 40-60 Indica to Sativa which is what I like but yet again you can read into the terpene profiles of the plants which also have certain affects on the buzz you are looking for. I.E Limonene (terpene) is known for Elevated mood, Stress relief, Antifungal properties, Antibacterial properties, May help relieve heartburn and gastric reflux, Improves absorption of other terpenes....

@GreenHouseLab, Agreed. I am going to follow your journals. I want to try and grow more sativa domimnant strains. I am new to growing and just learning what all these strains do. Before, I was in California pre legalization days, and we just smoked whatever we could get our hands on, no one took time to know strains. I remember a lot of whisppy orange and white haired nugs from local growers. And the amazing highs of getting absollutely lost in movies, or making music sound amazing. Or walking through my own garden totally lost like: "under that tarp, is a small dinosaur land"....I would feel warm and relaxed inside. That is what I am looking for. I would guess more sativa dominant hybrids.
There was strains that made my heart feel that deep loss of time, but also my heart feel rapid, and sketched out. I want to avoid that... So I avoid strains that say "energetic". But I love time loss, that brings you in and out in a giggly sense... You know any recomendations? My next grow is targeted for July, and so far I am just planning on LSD from Barney seeds
@@GreenGrowGreen, always good to have in the inventory lol I'm taking a break from Indica's I've grown plenty lately need so daytime stuff. On top of that I have two Zkitllez finishing up this week 😀
@James, Thanks! At week four, after my mistakes, I thought I was in trouble, but Royal Queen Seeds Bubble Kush auto genetics fought through it with me and we came out to harvest! Very pleased! I probably could have waited another week to get a little bit more cola growth, but this is ok!
@Puffer_Bill, I'm finding she is responding well to my treatment. I think I'm gonna pull through! She's getting frosty. I'll probably be pushing 11 -12 weeks, not 10, but should be worth it 😉
