Will fill this out when i dry and cire enough to give you a proper report but as it stands looks like shes gonna be awesome. Stinky sticky citrus sweet buds. So heres a quick look at what we've got here. Its day 4 of srying. The outside is already pretty dry and some of the smallest buds are at a point where (uncured) they are smokable. Wife and I rolled a little doobie up with some of the smallest dryest nugs(which were still super sticky on the inside despite being so tiny) the strong vitrus smell is weaker right now and smells a bit like diesel. When we lit up the citrusy taste was most prominent upon entering my pallette and left a nice diesel undertone on exhale. The dry bud still looks fairly nice too i will upload more pictures before they go into jars I just want to say something real quick. I had never heard of Short Rider before(I HAVE heard of both its parent strains though)When I took to the i telnet in search of information I had am overwhelming amount of reviews saying how terrible this strain is and yields were up to 3grams dry. So.e said up to 15grams but even still this worried me greatly. How does a seed bank allow such a shitty strain to get through? Well lo and behold it is NOT a shitty strain. It IS however very susceptible to mold. This sucks cuz my area is humid all the time and gettinf lower than 45-50% RH is pretty much impossible even using my dehumidifier. That said i've grown in 50-55%RH during flower with other strains and had no issues. Anyways thats a little off topic but the point is I pulled my girl chopped of the trim and took in 6wet ounces which will be near 2 dry/cured. In case some of you are bad at math its 56grams in 2oz. I fucked up badly and got 6oz wet so I can't see any reason if I tried again I would get any less than half a pound wet. The people writing those reviews either were terrible growers or ....well. actually I can't say for sure but I promise of you only got 3 grams you did it wrong. The strain has a bad name on a lot of sites but other than it has next to NO resistance to mold it was fun to grow. My first autoflowers ever Apparently I cannot put 2 harvests back to back for some reason?? Anyways. Here's plant number 2(The LST girl) so when I went to do my nightly check and found fuzzy webby stuff buried in the back of one of my big buds. Upon further investigation I unfortunately found about half an ounce(or more) of starting mold. I take no risks with that shit and I took it down as it was. Super upset about it. Wet weight on plant 2 AFTER trimming and de molding I ended up with 239.9 grams( at least I hit half pound wet this one) so so sad. This could have easily got me a qp to half p dry if this hadn't happened. Sad sad. Anyway. This strain obviously has resistance issues but again. It was a pleasure to grow and maybe in the future I will grow it again. The buds are decent and tastes good(for citrusy weed) i really like the diesel exhale on it though. The buds look nice too ill upload some more pics soon but I was up all night yrimming and hanging( my last check is midnight so I pylled trimmed and hung all after 1230 lol. Fortunately it was an easy trim. Alright I'm going to sleep for a bit and ill come back with more pics. Alright final update for this journal just saying. The lst plant stayed significantly fluffier and foxtailed versus the hard dense colas and nugs i got from the first plant. The taste is the same citrusy sweet mostly with a diesely exhale. Both sets of buds are good and I will grow it again in the future.

great light for small area. Really packed the flowers on her. Downside is if its alone ot casts dark shadows but the area under it is deadly bright .
Reviews. Tent
couple pinhole leaks but otherwise I am having a great experience with it. The second "side" wall doesn't block light very well though so using it for veg and bud at the same time isn't happening.

Well guys and gals this is my first harvest here on Grow Diaries and the love and support has been amazing. Keep with me family I have many more adventures to come. I just received 20 Northern Lights X BigBud autoflower seeds. Yummy. Onto the rest of my rant now....here we go: So here's the deal. I was moving my room around and I saw discoloration on a couple buds. Checked it out and it was bud rot. That said i decided to take the whole plant since its so close to done anyways and not risk infecting the rest of the plant or any others in the garden. After chopping it and removing the rotten bits it looks great It MAY be a little early but someone here in GD says its better to get 70% of something you want than 100%of something you don't. That applies here as i generally prefer head highs to couch lock. Most the crystal heads were cloudy and starting to turn so its fine with me. The buds stink like citrusy sweet and a hint of skunk. Its described as skunky on the site but I either got the wrong seeds or they don't know what a skunk smells like. This is sweet citrus like pineapple or fresh cut oranges and a minor undertones of skunk...but very minor. I haven't tried it yet and will update when I do. Also I'd like to mention I will have a second harvest with this plant soon. I had 2 and only pulled this one due to mold. As far as growing it she was a relatively simple plant to take care of but I didn't know not to transplant autoflowers. This girl and her sister were transplanted twice if memory serves. I imagine she will be better in the future if I decide to get more seeds. She LOVED the LST by the way. I have main and mini colas all over the non harvested plant And it grew EXACTLY like I wanted turning its sides in to tops. Anyways back to the harvest. I have her hanging from clip hangars upside down in the basement. Threw a hygrometer in there to make sure I dont have humidity problems. Due to lack of space some are in paper bags :( I hear this socks the moisture out too quick sometimes so im glad its not alot. We will try it and see. I was impressed to see a quarter pound wet from her considering how badly I fucked up lol. I'm sure harvest 2 will be bigger. The buds are double the size. Anyways 2 more weeks ill have a bit more too add. Keep following along to see how big my other girl gets. I'm thinking a half pound for sure. Happy growing catch you all soon.

Should I be doing defoliation to an autoflower plant when it is ready or should I leave it to do its own thing?

Привет, друг! 👋 autoflower не любит стрессы, он любит умеренные тренировки, но не стрессы на вегетации или в конце цветения. Дефолиацию есть смысл проводить autoflower на стадии предцвета когда формируются ветки и междоузлия и в начале цветения, если большая листва середины или низа растения закрывают крайние точки роста! 👆 В конце цветения не желательно проводить дефолиации, если не хотите лишнего стресса и желаете получить максимум от урожая! 👆 Вашему растению, по заявлению seed-bank, необходимо 9 недель цветения, чтоб считать урожай спелым! Ведите отсчёт недель цветения с той недели, в которой у вашей девочки появятся первые белые волоски на точках роста и в междоузлиях! 👌 По моим подсчётам у тебя цветение начнётся на 4-5 неделе роста 👌 Скоро! Продолжайте делиться своим прогрессом и успехами, это очень важно для сообщества! 👍 Удачи, дружище! ✊😇

Ud want to keep it on 18 hours. I run my Indoor autos on 20hrs per day the whole grow. U will dramatically reduce yield and lengthen flowering time dropping her down to 12/12... happy growing and stay lit fam.

I found hermaphrodites in my budders so I chopped them...butI'm worried the pollen will have spread in the tent. How do I wash pollen off my plants just a light soap water mix? The tent has already been cleaned but I will do it again when I clean my plants. I just want to be sure

Pollen is alive for couple days up to couple weeks so if you moved it, most probably all is pollinated, your veg plants you can spray with pure water just to wash off, all grow space and traffic road, should be washed. You can't wash flowering girl, no way ! If you got pollinated, pray for good, that you'll find a seed here and there and thats it. If you look closer to your bud, you can easy spot pollinated calaxies. It will reduce your harvest, you'll have to watch what you grind, but its not a big drama if you saw it on time... I had two hermies from RQS run, they pollinated all garden, but in 100 g/ plant to find like 20 seeds, was sad, but i accepted it. Good luck !
