I really look forward to this strain. MOBY Dick XXL from @Dinafem
This is going to be my baby, where I learned my mistakes from previous grows(I am an beginner, havent harvested yet. My longest grow Cream Caramel is in week 9-10, around 2 weeks into Bloom.
I hope you want to Follow my Journey with this baby and hopefully we help eachother cultivating ✌️🏼
My setup/schedule is
Light: 20/4(14h in tent, 6h outdoor under direct sunlight)
Soil: Coco-Coir with Perlites(70/30)
Tent: 120x120x200cm
Lamp: 25W CFL and 300W Budget LED
Nutritients: Canna
Pot: 3/5 gal pots, 12/20L.
I really wouldn't recommend topping an auto, unless you're pretty good at topping photos.
- But if you have to do it, then don't do it later than week 3.
Looking at her tho, I'd say she's too small to be topped. But that's just me preferring at least 5 nodes before I do it myself.
Ok already outgrown 2 of my Photos thats around a week older. Now I know what they call it XXL
I topped the plant at day 16(autoflower Topping experiment)
Day 17 - Started main lining
First day of the week. Having Nice veg regrowth, no signs of flowering yet.
Hopefully from what Ive seen on other diaries this strain has 4-6 weeks of Veg, which gives some timer to Recovery from the early Topping made week 3.
Some small signs of preflowering, but nothing major yet.
Started adding PK 13/14 i go against what Canna Recomend and instead Microdose 0.33ML/L During the entire flower period together with accelerator.
Day 2 - Started misting before sleep, with PH 5.8 water and Canna Accelerator. Reason for that is, supposedely the leaves uptake accelerator better than the roots.
Never mist the plant under Light or sun, only misting it before 6hrs of sleep. Then when they wake up, usually very dry and full of nutritients to use for The phontosynthesis.
This week I have been working 150% and got myself a puppy! So barely any time for The plants unfortunally they had to suffer being not watered for 3 days, then After 3 days getting only normal water. Hence why so few pics
But she is back on Track, had some Cal deficiency but adding nutes again with 100% Dose and some extra CalMag
The youngest plant of all 3 autoflowers, The biggest one, The fastest growing one and the one that seems to require most NUTRITIENTS! Even though I topped this plant, it doesnt stop growing! And it has been smelling strong since Week 3-4
I have more seeds of this from @Dinafem
Hopefully next batch will be 2x Moby Dick XXL + 2x Blue Amnesia XXL in DWC! (NON topped only LST)
Not much to commend, buds are getting fat.. Not as frosty as ID wish, but it seems like this plant needs some extra days of flowering.
More closeup pics without LED Coming closer to harvest.
Atleast this topped autoflower seems to yield most of my 3 first autoflowers.
Next time I will definently not top an autoflower, just because I want long and big branches to do easier LST on.
Very strong citrusy smell already from Week 3 and onwards. So I topped this plant very early, hence a smaller plant with Low yield. Im new on Autoflowers and my setup is very simple.
The buds have been drying for a week, and Curing now, I had a Sample, very sticky buds, A bit airy and fluffy, not the densest buds. But smells amazing. The high is very strong and Indica like, it hits you immediatly and makes you kinda hammered for an hour atleast(if your a Daily smoker 😁)
Will definently grow this strain again and this time only doing some LST and no Topping 💪🏼🌱
Unfortunally topped. Decent yield. Very Nice, sticky and frosty buds, with amazing and strong citrusy/fruity smell. I will definently enjoy smoking this when its properly cured.
Going to give this strain another try in DWC and without Topping!
Sweet smokes Every1 💚🌱 420
@DunDerma, Oh yes you are absolutely right it is an auto then better to donit now exactly. She will start flowering next week or begginig of the 5th week so... :)
Hoping to see a monster here in the future!
Only thing I´m not certain is changing her from indoors to outdoors, from my (very) little experience I found it is worse than to just let it be on one place.
Keep it up man!!
@DunDerma, Ohh, I see. Yeah, it makes total sense then. Even better if the environment doesn´t change that much like you stated.
Keep it going! Will follow your grow, peace!
@remark, Hey bud! Thank you for The experienced input, much appreciated!
My budget and the indoor setup unfortunaly does not allow 18/20h of Light rn, in a Economic way.
The climate here is very hot and close to the equator, so outdoor works pretty good. But id rather have her in the tent all The time.
When The budget allows, and I can get the temp in the tent Down, ill certaiinly go 100% indoor.
This is a good and Economic way for now!
✌️🏽 SWEET Smokes 💚
With autoflowers it's much better to train by just bending to expose lower growth sights. Topping will usually result in lower yeilds with autoflowers as they don't have the luxury of time to recover like photoperiod strains do. You still got some nice looking buds there though! Not sure Moby-D is supposed to go Purple either lol I don't know how you managed to do that. Well done! 👍
