Having similar issues with the bad weather, it impacts these autos pretty hard. Thinking next time they dont go outside until the droughts hit in late June but then there is the smoke... heheh this is why farmers always look worried

@canablizz, It has its challenges but then how else would I get a 13 plant grow going? ;) I can fit four in the tent but the rest have to go somewhere and well they dont do well in the living room.

@rhodes68, that made me LOL about the farmer's always look worried. It's very risky growing outdoors.

“Mexican Airlines” made me laugh! Strain names are often silly, and this is now at the top of my list! Love it! Any idea of name origination? I’m guessing Sativa that makes you fly? Despite the poor reputation of Mexican marijuana in the 70s here on the mainland, there has always been damn good weed in Mexico. The best stuff never makes it out of Mexico! The biggest, most beautiful, red pistil and trichome encrusted colas I’ve ever seen were Mexican. But I’m sorry to hear of your setbacks. You are a skilled grower. You’ll bounce back. Keep at it!

@growdoctordc, I would pick another sativa to grow MA has issues period. Six Shooter does look interesting it has the MA genes in part which is why I wont touch it, MA left a very bad taste over here with only 1 out of 5 germinating and growing as expected, 2 dead seeds, 2 genetic oddities that well didn't make it far. This is the reality of that strain. Interestingly the one good I did get is very good. Go figure

@Wicked_Stix, That sounds terrific! I want to believe there are still pure Sativa strains available, but there’s been so much cross breeding, I don’t have faith in most breeders. I first grew using only the Colombian red bag seeds we had in Panama Lol! Grow a Sativa for 11 or 12 months, let it cure properly, and you’ve got some fine, sublime weed! I am definitely buying a ticket for a ride on Mexican Airlines! Thanks for the explanation

Wicked_Stixcommented5 years ago

@growdoctordc, it is a mix of mexican and Columbian sativa. Not supposed to be any indica in it. Definitely on my list to try. I grew up growing nothing but Mexican bag seeds and they usually put off some huge potent buds.

On the Mex Air I managed to save one of those and its a great plant but seems slow to flower after any stress genetic or otherwise. Its a pure sativa so doesn't like grow tents in the first place, mine is incredibly happier outdoors than in when I can get some sun (HA!) , it will get there. With these guys its all about the sun :) Good luck

Hi @Screedo! When I'm growing autos, I always adapt my technique depending on the plant's speed and strength. Each strain has its way to grow and some do not like to be topped. I only allow myself to top or fim the most healthy/fast/beautiful strains, otherwise it's a loss of time leading to a loss of yield. Hope this makes sense, happy growing! 👊

Hey there, it's too late for you to top as the plant is well into flower by now, for your next run make sure you have a good VPD which is basically 25°C and 60%RH and you'll have a much faster growing and larger plant that you'll be able to top. Read about VPD here : https://getpulse.co/blog/vpd anything else you need just let me know ! 🚀

I have also recently had issues with Fast Buds Mecican Airlines germinating normally. Out of 5 only two germed , BTW my rate with just bag seed is near 100% so it aint me and I doubt if it was you either. Time to tell FB they got issues

rhodes68commented5 years ago

@Screedo, All I can advise is if any remain (5+5) treat as old or green seeds to germinate, it might help.

rhodes68commented5 years ago

@Screedo, Contact Fast Buds, they made good on mine which had almost exactly the same results, one good plant out of five seeds. Seriously something went amiss here but they try to make it right.

Screedocommented5 years ago

@rhodes68, I now have attempted to germinate all 5 of the Mexican Airlines seeds. Of the 3 I had left, 2 did nothing, while the last one popped but failed to grow. So, I only have 1 successful germination with my 5 seeds. I'm 2 for 2 with the Blackberry and also at near 100% with bagseed. The MA seeds I had looked a bit young and light colored. I'm guessing they just weren't viable.

CoastGrowercommentedweek 75 years ago

That blackberry looks crazy.. Now that you have cut of some tips of your plant I really hope it’s not an Autoflower because if it was you will have stunt her growth and that would be the worst for a auto..

CoastGrowercommented5 years ago

@Screedo, thank god it’s a forgiving plant :). Enjoy your sunday!

Screedocommented5 years ago

@CoastGrower, she was getting pruned either way. Just figured waste not want not. I have another blackberry about 2 weeks old, I’ll see how she does with a transplant as that’s the only option now.

Oh damn that stinks!! I use little pots that plants come in from like Home Depot then when they get root bound I move to a bigger container.

CoastGrowercommented5 years ago

@Screedo, I have 2 plants of the same strain.. 1 germinated in a 25L pot and the other in a small pot and when it got bigger I transplanted her.. she’s not even 3/4 of the size of the one that never got transplanted.. There is a reason why Every breeder sais you can’t transplant and that reason is because it is true..

Screedocommented5 years ago

@canablizz, It's my first auto grow. I read a few times that they don't have time to recover from the stress, so to start them in their final pot. My grower buddy told me that's load of BS. So my next round is going in 4" pots to start.

canablizzcommentedweek 65 years ago

Blueberry looks like it has been thirsty for a long time but the mexican airlines looks promising.

Screedocommented5 years ago

@canablizz, Both were overpotted, and the Blackberry has been soggy since day 1. I removed as much medium as I could, and the top layer is only dry from the sun. Have only watered 2 times in 6 weeks and it is still wet. Learned my lesson with seedlings in 5 gal pots.

Cannibalgardenscommentedweek 145 years ago

Sorry to hear about that mold man it sucks and can be relentless too ,best of luck ..

rhodes68commentedweek 105 years ago

Well it seems your survivor is a big one, same thing happened to me only a 30% germ rate on this strain but what does make it turns out well, but that could be the Growers :)

rhodes68commentedweek 35 years ago

I understand about the lack of sunshine, we have been dealing with the same thing a couple of times having to bring em inside to get light. Been a cold wet spring so far. They looking healthy :)

CoastGrowercommentedweek 16 years ago

I hope all goes perfect!
