Grapefruit [Day 62 - Coco - 7L pots]

@Growdiaries, Could you add a runoff/drain values feature in the soilless diaries please ? It would be cool

@Med_in_tropic, Haha great question amigo !! In fact yes autos can be cloned , I ‘be seen a topic on a forum about it years ago and gave it a try just for fun. Check the last picture of week 3 to see my 2 grapefruits clones , the mother plant is the one in flowering . They are in 3L pots in recycled soil and they are doing well. I was thinking about using auto clones to makes seeds instead of using a plant that I want to smoke 💨 so something free from any seeds. 🤘🏼

Hi @Shagrath, " Ive never heard that the bud is ripe and ready but still growing more. " I am saying that the trichomes are 100% milky which means that the trichomes ratio is ready for an harvest , but the bud structure is showing a second bulking up as this plant shoots more pistols and the calyxes are pretty small , they can easily double in size like the 1st grapefruit I've grown. So you can have a 100% milky but still not have the full size/shape/yield potential. That is why I am talking Bout effect over yield , because with a 30% amber trichs the effect will be more sleepy but still good with bigger buds. Thanks for your answer bro @Nor_Cal_Kannabliss, Thanks , my favourite ratio is around 30% amber because the effect is starting to be more sleepy ( the " go to bed " effect ). When you past that 30% you have a big big sleepy effect 😁 my favourite effect . Thanks amigo @Fruitgrower, I got you bro 👌🙌 thanks for the answer , generally I am doing like you but this time I'm trying an early harvest 😁

That sucks about the bugs, but shit happens and you grow a lot of 🔥! If its just a few plants it should be manageable, I dealt with spider mites during flower (when I made the mistake of taking in somebody's plant) by spraying down the leaves with water at a decent pressure to blast them off a couple times a week. I also went through the plants leaf by leaf, checking both sides, and squishing any pests I could find and removing leaves showing infestation or heavy damage. I also fogged the with some insecticidal soap (avoiding the buds, just under the canopy) and sealed the plants for 30-60 minutes before turning airflow back on. This kept their population so low it didn't end up messing with yield/quality. Hopefully it's just thrips as they shouldn't be too bad to manage. I also agree with the effectiveness of neem as long as it's really early in flower (it smells and tastes like shit which is a risk). I've never tried them personally, but introducing predator insects can also keep the population down without hurting quality or spraying with chemicals. I am sure you're going to beat the bastards and yield some good bud 👍

looks great 👊

Great looking little one. Fantastic start with her👍. Much luck this week Spin! Happy trails

Hey there, Thanks so much for running a diary of our genetics 🙌 Let us know if you need any assistance, we’re more than happy to help. Happy Growing !!! 🌱☘️🌴🍀🌿🌳

Greetings from Russia! Your Plants look great! Keep developing in the same spirit! If you are interested in following the adventures of weed in Russia, subscribe to my diaries.

I've heard they hate lemon peel might help get rid of the thrips xx

Very Nice👌 Enjoy!!

well well .. that's the shortest flowering period I've seen to date! wow! bloody quick 😎 And a damn nice trunk - perfectly round 👌

Outstanding! Very impressive buds for such small pots!👈👏

Hey bud, sorry to hear about your motor problem. This is a bit out there but try using a vacuum cleaner hose to pull them all off. Shouldnt affect the tricomes at all. I have never tried it but have seen some literature about its soundness. Good luck ✌️

Hey spinna. Nice to see u turning out some nice plants mate. You get em going well in small pots! I have my first auto at the moment and i worried the pot may be too small but noticed yours were going well in smaller pots. I reckon nothing beats neem for certain pests. No home remedies seem as effective. In oz we have a product called eco neem. Works well, does smell a bit but early in flower it is effective here. Cheers mate
