Pleased with how this plant is doing. Lots of stretch this week and looks like she's still got more in her. Still been training the tops where i want them but the branches are getting stiff now so that's nearly it.
The cooling fan on my grow light is really noisy and the loudest thing of my setup by far. So i have changed it for a much higher quality one and it's amazing! Night and day difference for noise and performance too! See before and after videos.
I have a feeling i might run out of space in the middle with the 4 buds. Also that the outside ones are too close but we will see. Any comments welcome or suggestions. As i keep saying, all a learning process to get better each time. I am already planning my next grow which will either be do si dos auto or gorilla zkittlez auto both from Barney's Farm.
Have a possible weeks fishing trip on 7th Aug. So has it not finished by then I will buy a water pump and set it on a timer. As i expect i will be flushing around then so just ph water through the pump.
Thanks for looking
P.s. Planted 2 more outdoors today - 1 went with the other 5 and 1 in its own spot. See last photo of the now 6 outdoors!
Thanks for the like bud, I'm going to try mainline on my next grow and yours looks sick. Have a look at dubxxl as he has a 5 part mainline totorial and it's awesome mate. Have a look and hope all goes well for you 😊🤙
@xxBudgetAutosxx, great tutorial videos, watched many times! "Lucky 75s" is another great channel for mainlining early, training and when to defoaliate. I'm learning alot from both those guys' videos, big thanks to them for sharing.
@xxBudgetAutosxx,
Thank you very much. I will check him out. Have seen a few of his videos and like his style. Your grow looks great too. I am also tempted to try it next grow, we will see!
Update sucks. You grow long enough outside of your own property, and its bound to happen. In fact, good chance it happens in your own backyard. Some people suck, grow on
@BudXs, Agree with you there! So many things have to go in your favour for a long time when growing outdoors. On a positive, I'd rather lose them now than just before harvest! Thats when it would really hurt. Happy growing bro
I love it!!! I wonder why my Weddig Cheesecake looks so freaking different (Fastbuds) to your Wedding Cake.. Doesn't even look cheesy 😅
Love the outdoors :-)) Think I've seen you on Youtube, no?
@HighFromHome, appreciate your invitation, if I go to UK first, I will defo hit you up mate!!
And for the mold.. I think you will most likely encounter some. It's not the end of the world tho if you see it early on and cut off the stems (rather a bit more than too few) you can even let the plant keep growing and investigate. This worked fine for me kinda. However, if you have a botrytis infection, you should kill the whole plant cause the spores spread vigorously and create mold on your other ladies. This is what happened to my SSH Autos and I definitely learned from it. Rather kill 1 plant than letting it spread shit onto others.. Was too greedy to be honest.
And the moldy stuff I just put in the freezer and gonna process it into shatter/oil soon.
Well what you said is exactly my thought.. I want an opinion of another grower. And people in GER are pussing out, NOBODY wants to meet and connect they all think I'm an undercover cop or so really dunno.. It's a shame.
Lets finish our shit well, fingers crossed for your beautiful ladies aswell :-))
@Topshelf420, i think mold is the biggest threat to mine too. Fingers crossed it all goes well, would hate to lose all my plants first try lol.
Sounds like a great idea...I've no plan to visit anytime soon but defo msg if you pop over here. I will do the same if i do. I'm south of London.
Like any others really...can get lucky and go through or unlucky and it be a dog day. They mostly go for flights likely to be carrying class a but imo, not worth the risk. I've bought stuff back from dam before but was shitting it. Rather just buy it here lol. I don't know the feeling yet but i can imagine it. Giving fellow growers weed to try! Yeah, friends can say its fire etc etc but feedback from someone who has grown and knows the labour involved must feel amazing! Especially when it's positive!
@HighFromHome, sounds like a great idea. thats my 3rd outdoor season and if I don't lose too much to botrytis/mold again I will go bigger aswell :-)
I haven't been to UK yet but wanna do so! An idea - who ever visits the country of the other guy first will write a msg here and we can hook up and chill out!
How hard are the airport checks in the UK for tourists? I could bring some testers. I love to share and get opinions cause I don't hang around with many people anymore due to safety reasons.. don't wanna leave wifey alone and I love my freedom 😆
Dam bro those r lookn great love the chunky lookn buds got me drooling over here lol. I jus wana take a bite of em they look so gud lmao. Congrats bro looks like ur guna get some top shelf meds come harvest time. U mentioned outdoor girls do u have a diary for those also or no any pics wud be cool to see. Anyway seen u stoped over by my new journal i jus setup so figured id swing by urs lol.
@HighFromHome,
No problem bro an yea ive gotten a few grows under my belt now lol. I actually started a few years back an found out i really like 2 tend a garden specially a 420 garden an im pretty gud at it 2 lol. But yea as long as u dry em slow an cure it right they will be some great ass buds nice job man. I cant wait to get my whole garden bak in full swing perpetually with a bunch of autos lol. I started 6 autos at once so once i harvest the 4 i got going now those other six shud be getting fairly decent sized already an then i can start another 6 lol. I figure having 6 plants shud be a decent harvest atleast im hoping so lol. I got 2 each going rite nw the Bluedream, Tangie'matic and Smoothie autos. So for my next round im hoping to get some new genetics. Or if i decide not to get new genetics then ill b opening up my breeding project again.
@FrostyBlaze420, Thanks so much bro, really appreciate that. Have put a lot of effort into this grow. As with all new growers you want it to be as good as possible. It's far from optimal but very pleased overall. Top shelf meds would be amazing, you look like you've grown a few yourself:D
As for the outdoors one, the photos are at the end of each week in my diary. Had a loss of my better spot but 2nd one is coming along. Thanks for checking out my diary
@HighFromHome, Cheers bruv, we're all living n learning and how nice it all is with such a beautiful plant!! 😊🌿. Keep doing what your doing my friend, looking as healthy as.....👍
@Bushbaby808, Thanks bro. Can't wait for next time. I was so concerned with height i did lots to keep her short. Will make better use of my space next round. Got a list of what to change and what to do again. Yours looks great btw
@densesensi, Is a 12L pot that i have folded down. Measured the actual volume of what im using and its 5l to 6l. Will add a photo on the next update with a clipper for size reference/scale.
Hope this helps
Enjoyed reading this one mate, thanks for the like on mine.. Glad your first one went well.. I bet its a great feeling harvesting and smoking your own.. I hope I have that to come lol
@RustyStarbuck72, Thank you very much. I loved growing it and ao happy with what i got. Hope to do even better on my next. Yours are looking great and will have buds forming in no time😁
Hey man, sorry to hear about your outdoor spot, that really sucks. I had a similar issue last week with two of mine but it was a cat! Just chewed them up and rolled around on them. Sorry again for what happened you buddy. Hopefully the second spot works out for you 👊
Looking super healthy bud. Is that plastic wrapped galvanized steel wire from the hardware store? I'm struggling to find that super thick LST wire most people use.
