They did not grow as wished but hey, they were a present ( actually I still have 16+seeds ) and a chance to experiment a few thing before to start indoor and germinating more for outdoor.

Very quick update sorry for the pics quality,I will try to shoot some better and more detailed, after reading practically everywhere not to "stress" the AUTO with topping and intrusive LST but I must say that I'am impressed by the fast reaction of each one of them, based on the technique adopted, I mean, if I did it...everyone could lol...however in general very satisfied precisely for having deepened these techniques and having acquired a little manual skills.

Definetly bored from the quarantine, I did some extra LST to open them up a little be more, I have to say that I'm imprresed about how those AUTOS did react to the training adopted on them! Very well, i bet with bigger pots they would have react even better, anyway, no problems, still have plenty of seeds to try and try!!

Grow Questions

Pennellostarted grow question 5 years ago
Hi guys, if I top my Amnesia, I mean, literally top them, Like straight cut at the 4th node, maybe? and leave the other 3/4 node above.. May I clone that topped bit? If so, since It should be growing like a normal plant as should be sprouting from the top, may I mainline that?

You can but the top of the plant doesn't clone as easily. Usually takes a little longer than clippings from the center and bottom of plant. Cheers

Hi guys how you doing? Most of them are almost there, starting to show some yellowing on the low vegetation, a week or so and they gonna be harvested. I topped the 2 amnesia haze and started to train them, now they clearly need to be up potted at 11lt, looks quite strong respect the auto next to them

Sooooo, the time is coming my friends, I chopped down 2 of the 18 Critical XXL that were on the balcony, resulting in one of them much richer in resin, clearly visible from the colours of the buds. Now, slowly i will chop them all down, I will keep just the top buds to smoke and pretty much the rest its gonna go straight in the freezer to became bubble or dry, lets see how much time off i can get from my fricking job!!! see you soon friends!

Hi guys here we are with another weekly update! Soooooo, Its all coming to an end over here, i got like 7/8 lplants eft to cut, but 4 of them are really small ones, even though they have nice fatty hardrock buds! 2 plants ( or more) went straight to the trim bag and in the freezer for some bubblehash Id like to do. The two Amnesia are growing nicely up, I might try to clone some low branches, lets see if I get time to do so... And last but not least my freind I found a broken brunch on of of the ladies, and it was completely dry, gave it smoke and it wasnt possible, probably it never flushed away all the nuts and it was crazy bitter. So I decided to extract with some Ethanol 96% and thats the result! Quite sticky, impossible to manage, strong terpene smell, I did not smoke it yet, but I will tonight, dont worry guys, not gonna go to waste! se you all soon!
