GroloCup Back again doing what I do, growing badass autos hydroponically in 1 gallon buckets... Got a few strains going this time. This should be a good one. The strain lineage is on the pics... Hold on tight people, these happy birds are about to take flight!!! I'm just running a very weak nutrient solution, 500 EC @ a pH of 5.7 cycling the air to my seed starter to run 20 mins every 2 hrs, attempting to get these baby roots to start stretching into the reservoir. I increased the concentration of the nutes to 1.0 EC since these little ladies were rooting up properly, giving them a little more boost, no rest for them early on, I want to see how hard I can push them

GroloCup The roots are really progressing as I like so it should be about another week and they'll be moved to their final home, where they shall begin their journey into becoming some of the stickiest of the icky! This is the quiet before the storm.

GroloCup On to the big tent to ride out to the honeycomb hideout! They've definitely got the roots, now they've got their own buckets. Should be a little shock initially, then we hit audubon speeds. Thanks for following along and thanks to Brother Geoff for his work getting these delightful selections out for the people! Well, one large plant fell on these three, but no reason to panic, they weren't killed, just smothered into an LST I suppose. Tough ladies here! Look at this growth for a week, dialed in is an understatement.

GroloCup Began doing a little twisting and bending on these girls, and of course snapped a branch on the Grateful Med, but I suppose that just becomes HST if it doesn't heal. All three are booming with growth and are looking healthy. Roots are strong and I expect to really see some pre-flowering by weeks end. MegaCrop, DWC and autoflowers are a cheat code, add in Brother Geoff's selections and crosses and you're damn near as good as those boys on the interwebs and chat rooms!

GroloCup Not a bad week of veg to put these ladies right on the edge of pre-flowering... Definitely seeing a few pistils and the stretch hasn't been overwhelming. Definitely excited to see what these ladies have in store for the next stage.

GroloCup Steady comeuppance this week. The ladies are looking green, mean and packing a few pistils! Little stretch happening now so I've added a little CalMag to the brew as well as a sprinkle of my go to P K booster Bud Explosion. Things are about to really take off this week!

Looking amazing so far. I must add this breeder to my wish list, and also try DWC.

@UnorthadoxDude, I think the auto/DWC is an absolute cheat code. I use 1 gallon buckets and they really show full expression and maturity in 70-80 days from sprout.
