This is River, the White LSD.
Forgot to take pics when I was starting this lot, was distracted harvesting my first grow :D
Anywho my set up is a 1.2 x 1.2 x 2m Harvemax tent. I'll be using a 600W MH for veg and 600W HPS for flower. The girls go straight into 11L fabric pots. I'm growing this baby alongside an Auto Lemon OG named Inara, and a Caramalecious Auto named Kaylee. Yes I'm a nerd. I used Nutrifield pre-mix Coco Perlite blend (I'm lazy and it was cheaper than separately, win-win!). Since this is my second grow I'm giving the plant training a go. I hadn't wanted to complicate things the first time. Fingers crossed 😑
@@Tryhard,
Cheers mate! I'm actually super nervous about the last month or so cause they've been such a breeze so far - seems like I'm due for a catastrophe. :P
@Nostresskush, Cheers matey! Me too lol still need to find out if I ruptured the ligament repair I had 5 years ago. This is what happens when you let your private health insurance lapse :P
@Tonks I'm assuming you are no longer posting but, I just have to ask. Your last entry said you got 4.5 oz Wet & only 1.5 oz. Dry but, you show Five Jars of LSD. Do those jars only hold a 1/4 oz each?
I'm only asking because of anticipating my final tally at the end of my grow.
@Tonks, hello, thanks for clearing that up about final weight. I was curious as to how much I would get from an auto. This is my first time too. The lighting info, when I was filling out the info I didn't see anywhere to say 20 hour/4 hours. I am using a 20 hour On schedule. I was just informed that I might be applying too much nutes, mainly the Grow Big nitrogen. I am going to just water for the next week, then begin applying the flowering nutes slowly. I am used to growing Pure Sativa's which take around six months to mature. That is why I am giving these auto's a try. Hopefully week five will show some improvements. I staked my branches outward, using some dried Sativa stems bent in to a V like a tent stake. As the plant grows, the branches can pull the stake up as she grows. You can see this technique in the next set of photo's. Again, thanks for the info.
@R_Owl_Mirror, Hey matey :)
I got 4.5oz dry off this girl, I never do wet weights cause I dry them on the branches. The jars are a little under an ounce each cause this girl was pretty airy.
Yah I live down under, it's Autumn atm but still bloody hot and muggy, we had such a wet summer. Never tried outdoors cause it isn't legal, and I'm not keen on a guerilla grow. Too much effort! 😂
Yeah I didn't take any good close-ups that week, was my second grow and first diary so I had no idea what I was doing lol! Every auto I've done so far you start seeing the white hairs coming out of the pistils around week 4.
I'd start introducing flowering nutes week 5 if you haven't already, just go gradually, but everyone has their own schedule they prefer for autos lol so I'm sure others would disagree.
Question though, I've just noticed your diary says you're using a 12/12 schedule technique up the top but in the weekly stats the lights are showing 20hrs on a day? Just making sure the 20hrs is the correct one! 😃
@Tonks, That is my dilemma ! I have been Perm. Disabled since 1996 and in Pain 24/7/365. I live on a diet of Morphine & Oxycodone. I am still searching for that one strain which will relieve the Pain but, not put me in to couch-lock the whole time. I get enough of that from the Morphine !
FYI, the Nerve damage is permanent and life-long so, being 60 I have many more years of a pain-filled life to go. (maybe) I have tried high CBD strains as well as the Oil and it does nothing for me.
@Nostresskush, Definitely helps with pain, but I'm not sure if that's just cause I'm too high to notice. :P
Ankle is about the same, still waiting to see the surgeon on Thursday, hopefully I'll know more then! Thanks for asking mate 😊
@Tonks,yh but she only smell when im close up but the smells really nice i cant wait till harvest but if plants took steroids were looking at yours lol
@@Tryhard, I always think I've gotten used to the smell but the carbon filter does it's job... every time I open the tent now it's like a smack in the face! PS You're diesel looks fire!
Hello Tonks, I just started my grow report. I am nearing week 3. This is my first time growing an Auto-flower so, I'm in the dark as to any differences in growing techniques. A question I have for you (or anyone), I see you Topped your plant at week 3. Is it possible to convert those toppings in to clones? I only bought one seed with another order so, it would be nice to make clones rather than buying more seeds. My Grow Diary is updated only to week 2 right now if you care to take a look at my plant. She only has 3 nodes and is 5-6 inches.
@rtyll, Hey matey, sadly you can't really clone autos - since they follow a set schedule they'd go into flower whether you want them to or not, so you can't make them stay vegged to grow the new plant. Ppl have done it, but you get tiny little buggers. Your girl is looking great!! Right on schedule :)
Hello again, well I have reviewed your entire grow diary and it definite is awesome ! I can only hope my plant does as well. Now, I am new to growing Auto-flowers and I have to ask. Your diary presents week by week and you finished in 9 weeks. Is that time actually from germination of the seed until harvest? To be honest, I am used to growing Sativa's with 4 weeks of Veg., then between 8 to 10 weeks of Flowering time. If these Auto's are actually as good then, I will be growing them from now on. Oh BTW, is it true that you can not pollenate auto-flowers and produce viable seeds?
@rtyll, Hey hey :D I chopped her days 70 - 72 from when she sprouted, so about 73 - 75 days from seed. Since autos are decent yields now in the short time frame it's great! The strength tends to be a little lower than the photos but they get better every year, and autos in the 20 - 25% THC range are more and more common. Not too sure on pollenation though, I'm still kinda a newbie - been growing 10 months and only autos so far. :)
Hey Tonks,
I did cannabutter from my first grow its white widow from dinafem . I visited to Amaterdam last year. And ı ate some space cake like brownie. İts not strong too much. When ı ate my homemade brownie its poisonuss. Oh my god. I checked youtube stoners for prepare a good pot brownie. But it was very strong. Now white lsd auto is scared me. I will prepare half strenght. Good job Tonks. Just two weeks my harvest. I touched the bud and all day my fingers smell lime and mint.
@Nostresskush, It's so hard to get the amounts right! My first two batches with White Widow Auto and AK47 Auto trim were pretty chill, mainly just gave me a great sleep. Then this one was just on another planet. Can't wait for your harvest!! Sticky buds are the bestest buds :D
I just started week four. I followed your lead and topped my plant during week three. She's very healthy and produced multiple branches. I notice you label week four as the beginning of flowering. My plant hasn't shown Sex (Fem) but, am wondering if I should begin feeding her as if starting the flower cycle?
This is my first Auto-flower so, I really don't know what to expect. I used 400w LED's w/12 band Cree bulbs. I just added a second light to my tent, giving her 800w LED - 12 band lighting.
I could really use some advice, if you wouldn't mind.
Spring in September? You must be in the Southern Hemisphere?
Have you ever tried growing these Auto's outdoors?
BTW, you mentioned in week four that you noticed SEX activity.
It could just be the photo's but, I can't seem to see any indications.
She certainly is a beauty ! I especially love how you were able to spread her branches out so wide.
I will need to keep this in mind once my branching reaches that stage.
