Hey guys. So this is my winter closet grow 2 × Auto Cream Caramel by sweet seeds. At the moment they are in 2L grow bags but will eventually be transplanted into 15L pots. Maybe around week 4 when I will also switch on the HPS. The soil mixture is good old levingtons multipurpose compost with about 5% perlite.

Hey guys 👋 So here we are at day 10. I am very happy with these little ladies so far. All I have really done is plant them in multi purpose with John Innes. There will be no fan or nutrients for a while still. Apart from cold nights everything seems perfect.

Hi people. I hope everyone had a great Christmas 🎅 Week 3 and everything is going perfectly. I am still using just water and they are not drinking very much. I am sure there is a weak smell in the tent recently but I might be wrong. Sorry the lights are on in the picture. Peace ✌️

It is day 26 today. They have looked a bit sad since I transplanted them into bigger pots, so today I am turning on the 250 HPS. Still just plain spring water as I feel the soil has more than enough nutrients. Wishing everyone a happy gardening new year! 😃

I am very happy with the progress from both plants #1 Is a bit smaller but nice and bushy #2 Is at 60cm now! They really like the HPS and have started to smell. Neither has had any problems at all. Still no need for nutrients. I think I will just add some overdrive closer to harvest time. 😁

This grow seems to be going perfectly. I don't really have much to comment. I think the buds could be looking a bit more advanced at this point but I'm not complaining. I think the yield will be big!

This is how we are looking at day 48. I am going to feed them for maybe another week and then switch back to plain spring water. I think they are going to take at least 70 days until harvest.

I was hoping to be a little closer to the end by now, but it's day 55 and the ladies still need at least 3 weeks more. Hopefully getting longer will results in extra large buds 😁 I have lowered the nutes and will stop now. Molasses to be added at some point though. Shades of purple emerging randomly. I really love the genetics. The smell from far away is very sweet and discreet, close up it smells like cookies 😄

I added a dehumidifier to hopefully keep the buds from attracting any mold or rot. Plain water from now until harvest. Which I'm guessing is about 10 - 14 days away. They smell amazing!! 😎

The end approaches. Absolutely no nutrients this week, just spring water. I am going to give them another 5 days and see if they are ready for harvest. I probably won't be watering them again.

I have pulled all fan leaves and done a little trimming. I will harvest tomorrow. The smell is very potent and similar to my previous wipeout express grow. Very happy with this round. I think I will do black cream next after a little break. Definitely sticking with sweet seeds 👌

Happy Harvest Day!

This was an absolute joy to grow. My favourite strain now that I have dried and smoked it. Still to cure for a few weeks. The smell changes through its development. From flowery to a more pungent, almost fuel odour at harvest. The caramel is more of an aftertaste, rather than an odour. It now absolutely stinks and is so sticky icky. I just can't rate it high enough. The yield is crazy for an autoflower under 250w cheap setup and I definitely could have gave them another week. I have some fast bud seeds but I think I will just grow these again. I love cream caramel 😍

Thanks for everyone's guidance. I grew this in very cold temperatures and I feel the plants handled it no problem. These genetics are the real deal 😎

@Zannabis7, Thanks bro. I think it must be the low air and night temperatures around here. Let's just say I'm not 'Perth' Australia unfortunately lol.

Looking great Perth! Love the colours. Looks similar to my CKS NLights. All the best with the harvest. I would say they are in great shape to finish up. Flush and let the pots get bone dry for the snip!

@ParadiseCrew, Wtf are you talking about? Girl? You are a troll mate and probably ain't grown nothing. Stay off my diary. This is clearly bullying.

@ParadiseCrew, No because it was coated in resin. I dried for weeks.

Perth
Perthcommented7 years ago
@Joni2017, 😊 Yeah unfortunately I am closer to the north pole than most growers, so when that HPS goes off the heat really drops, but never below freezing and it's only for 4 hours a day. It has been like that since the start. They seem acclimatised.. I will hopefully get some nice purple colours coming through at harvest too. 😎
