So this plant has been very confusing, I think too begin with the light I had wasnt sufficient enough for 4 plants, along with the fact that the bud I produced off the other 3 was alot airer and was alot hairer compared too the ratio of bud, dont get me wrong I still got nugs, but this time round, my top cola weighs 42g wet.. thsts over a half oz bud for the top! I've read COP can go for an extra 4 weeks past its 11 week period, it was worth keeping this girl in thier on her own specially once I upgraded the light and now have a true 480w of led power in thier. Fat buds, alot more Granddaddy purple structure and look compared too the other COP I did which held alot of its Orange bud lineage - great plant too grow and under the right light and right conditions even novice growers could achieve 2 to 3 ozs of very nice bud. Definitely a winner from Dutch passion. I have another one of these running again as I want too see it's full potential under this new light! Flushed with cold water at the end too bring out more resin and that purple colour that the bud is showing!

Loved using Bio Bizz nutes as thier organic side is exactly what I need and when I needed advice I directly messaged them and got a response pretty quick. Thier rep @Biobizniss was really helpful too! Great product great prices!
Great product really upped my intake of nutrients at the start a definite must for autos!

Nice plants, I find the light and exhaust are the 2 most important factors when it comes to growing I just upgraded to a spider farmer sf2000 says it’s equivalent to a 400w HID light yet it’s only pulls just around 200w and it fills a 2x4 grow tent very well with only small lost on the sides plus you want to talk about brightness it’s insane I was using a fake 1800 Cobb LED light before that produced very well on a light mover. Great job

Nice looking ladies, good selection and a healthy look start. Always better to grow your own, i live in the uk and the street weed is pretty poor quality, u never know what strain your getting and what the growers do with it. I gave up buying it years ago and decided to grow my own as organically as possible, the pleasure of this alone enhances the experience. My golden rule is... No Sell, No Smell, No Tell...keeps you off the radar until prohibition ends. gl with ur ladies bro 😉

@MicrowGrow420, Thanks alot dude I also live in the UK - I get good smoke down my way but I'm also more about growing my own so I know what's in it and so I can smoke the strains I want too try! Keep in contact dude I'll follow you're diary!

I've noticed you removed the sucker (water) leaves from below each node. Does this aid in plant growth in height? Ive wondered if i should be doing this but felt like i would be taking away too much of the plants photosynthetic potential if i did. But seeing your growth rate I'm wondering if that's what I'm missing because mine bushed out from the LST but never really grew vertically like yours. Well done! It's either got to be that or the nutes you're using, or a combo of both.

@KCMOR8RH8R, The time before when I grew Autos, the first 2 I didnt butcher cos they were my babies, the 2nd two I trimmed and chopped and pulled leaves off everywhere .. then they go even more mad than what they did before. My feeding schedule for the big big plants is every 2 days, giving them 4ls of water between 2, also, every feed I have done I've given bio bizz bio grow. Only at the start did they have clean water feedings! Thanks for you're kind words bro

@DinafemSeeds, Hi Mark, it's my first time back too it in a while, this time round I'm sure thier will be some teething problems, but the Auto SD is doing ok, I'm waiting for the vegetative explosion from it atm as I'm on day 24 and it's the smallest one in the tent, but I'm not worried as I think it's more my own error , I've realised what I've done wrong / not done.

@Cheezy_G, Ok cool thanks alot my man! I'm definitely going too get myself a mini microscope or eye scope for jewelry too harvest from the trichs telling me, but I hope they swell man! Yeah the seeds give a rough guide I agree and that's at optimal conditions - we dont know what lights they have used and what substrate they also used, Litre size of pot and many factors, so growing it how you can too you're ability snd environment is the most important thing I feel!

Hey there my friend! Your grows are really comming along nice! The frost is building up beautifully aswell as the buds are perking up in weight. The COP is looking like its missing either calcium og magnesium. My guess would be calcium but looking at the time of its life cycle and your plans for harvesting, im saying just ride it out and let it finish as it is. Happy growing, good luck on these last couple of weeks and have a wonderful day whenever you are reading this.✌️

@@GreenHeart420, Thanks man I appreciate the advise, I'm just riding it out atm, I also think my light isnt the 600 or 1000w I thought it was and is more likely a 400w. This has all been an experiment for the first try

Lookn gud brother congrats. I bet the glueberry yields nicely for ya. Dam the colas on that bitch are huge lol. I got a few autos going myself in some hibrix organic super soil and then a few more im doing as a breeding project to get more seeds an not lose some auto strains i got. But those are in normal promix using synthetic nutes. Even still they made some nice buds even tho i reversed the bottom 4 branches using sts for fem pollen. An i didnt top them either but they still made one nice cola an some nice side buds. So not bad imo atleast alil bit of nice buds and some pollen. But once im done breeding they will really be put to the test lol. Normally i top my autos and do way bigger pots. Shit even in 3gallon pots now they made some nice buds so i cant wait to see them in 10 gallon pots from the start lol. So do u start ur autos in there final pots right from the start? Or do u start them in small pots an uppot them as u go?

@Bashgrowsitall1989, Ive thought of tht exact method wen i used to grow hempy style i always wondered how it would with autos an not stunting them lol. Well shit now im really excited to see wen u do tht run lol gud luck bro.
Bashgrowsitall1989
Bashgrowsitall1989commented5 years ago
@FrostyBlaze420, I started these ones off in thier final pots as that is what I have always done, I've come up with a prototype method that I will eventually use on one of my next runs which will be having them in smaller pots as in Litres but the depth of the pot will be the same depth as the final pot so no stress on that tape root is caused - therefore I'm hoping no stunting of growth on top. I'll keep you posted

Your week comment got me thinking that maybe my grow needs some heat added to it. My tent and my room under the stairs are both in my basement so temps run between 65-74°, do you think adding a space heater to the room outside so the passive air intakes would help my plant growth like yours?
KCMOR8RH8R
KCMOR8RH8Rcommented5 years ago
@Bashgrowsitall1989, thanks I'll def ask when I'm not sure about something. Yeah i don't worry as much about ph as others. My tap water is really high alkaline, comes out at 8.3. I ph down it to 6.0 and the runoff is still reading at 7.5. My plants don't seem to mind either. Other than the nute burn i experienced from nuting them back in wks 2-3 they're doing great now in week 6. But little tweaks here and there like temp control and how im watering ect all helps the end process. Ive been growing vegetables for a decade now and perfected that. That's simple. But now that I'm diving into Cannabis it's opened a whole new complexity to gardening with all the variables. I'm loving learning it and perfecting it while being able to grow my own smoke!
Bashgrowsitall1989
Bashgrowsitall1989commented5 years ago
@KCMOR8RH8R, Yes I would, hearing the air that's on the intake is the best way to do it, my green house heater is in the tent under the pots helping keep the roots warm too, No one likes cold feet ey! (quoted from a fellow grower) The more you get that climate too what they want the more they thrive. PH of water with soil really isnt as important as people might think, I've got 3 plants running all doing well and run off is 7.2 after feeding with nute, 6.6 with just water. Message me anytime you need some help bro! I've not got many grows under my belt, but I have alot of knowledge from all the research I've done. Enjoy you're plants my man!
KCMOR8RH8R
KCMOR8RH8Rcommentedweek 95 years ago
Damn i haven't checked in in a few weeks and your plants have exploded in growth! Those colas are gonna be huge! I think I'm gonna let my autos go and do less LST this next go around so they have a chance to grow more vertically like yours. I didn't realize i only really had 5-6 weeks of real veg growth until they were pretty much done and by the time i was done tying them down they never got a chance to reach up like yours. Those are impressive man! Leaving the autos alone and turning the pots every few days looks like a hell of a strategy to me
Bashgrowsitall1989
Bashgrowsitall1989commented5 years ago
@KCMOR8RH8R, Ah thanks so much man! I definitely recommend final pot, no lst and just rotating you're plants every couple of days too even out that canopy. The Glueberry OG is 80cm, I'm very impressed with its vertical growth. I've really enjoyed the little journey with these ladies. it's been great. Happy growing Bash

The SD is just different genetics I think that’s all. It maybe a little smaller buds overall but there are quite a few budsites I think it will take a little longer and be well worth growing. Good SD is nice to smoke
