Today is last day of week 12, day 84. While I am a novice and fear a early harvest, these three have ran a full course by any auto standards. There is amber.. 50%? Probably not and I still see a few clear here and there but these plants seem to be telling me there ready. Fall colors came in hard due to the flush and leaves are pretty much disintegrating by the day. This is another lesson. I am sure I brought on current state due to flush and probably should have feed for another week or two. But I am happy with where these are and how its going. I was going to let White Widow go some more but she came along fast in last week. I just killed the lights now and plan to harvest and hang to dry on Christmas morning.
I will update this with harvest pictures and final weights in a couple weeks after dried and trimmed up. Even though I read a lot before I started, I over watered, I under watered, I gave nutrient burn using full strength even knowing everyone says half, I didn't lollipop when I should have and did HST in flower lol I also manipulated the light schedule often to combat heat, humidity or my watering abilities. I am so grateful I didn't have one herm or die out on me. All three are awesome plants. The Banana Durban was the least picky of all and was very hardy. Just its performance had me secure the entire MSG menu. The BBD was a perfect indoor indica. Short, squaty and with fat buds this plant didn't like the heat as much initially. This specific phenotype needed a lot of defoliation and I failed in that regard. Next run of this one and I will stay on top of leaves which are plentiful. The White Widow was the runt of the litter but when she got going, she shot up and had to be super cropped in flower just to keep from not being 6 ft tall lol. She raised from the dead from that supercrop and continued to chug along. Leaves turned a beautiful dark color late in flower and the buds while small in nature are dense and magical looking. I can't wait to see what I yield., I have no frame of reference. My goal was 2 ounces per plant, we shall see. Just the sample buds I took as a form of late lollipop / taste test filled a 32 ounce mason jar so I really don't know what to expect. Thanks for following along and I will be sure to close this out with final results.
As we speak I’m smoking a bowl of CK white widow auto and I love it 😍 You’re going to really enjoy this strain, she’s a potent one! Just had some friends from SoCal visit that were blown away that it was an autoflower. They ended up passing out halfway into a movie we put on 😂 Your girls look amazing and I look forward to your harvest update! 😎
@northernMike,
Thanks man!! I am trying but making a lot of errors when it comes to environment and watering. So I am thankful for how they are coping and excited for the things I learned now so they will hopefully not effect my next grow.
@DreamOn,
Thank you! I am hooked and can't see not doing this and this is pre first harvest lol. Nothing beats the excitement each day when I pull up camera or unzip that tent for first time that day and see the girls :p
I loved how detailed you were, being a first grower, and how easy it was to read and understand as I look forward to growing the BBD as my first grow! All of it was great info man, and they look amazing! Thank you for providing a great point of reference! I look forward to following more of your grows!
Crop King has some great genetics. Congrats on the very successful grow! Curious how the Durban ( cross?) Taste as well as the blue devil . Bigger yields than expected ! Does it get any better than that😁
