Some of the equipment that I'll be using in this grow along with the Black Cream auto well be growing 4 cream Mandarin xl auto and x 4 gorilla girl xl auto and attempting some sort of ScroG attempt on these lady's or LST to keep my canopy even but also to allow as much light penetration and usage of light ad we don't want to see the floor as where wasting space ...
So to start this auto run I'm currently refitting the grow room but germanation will happen within this current week I'd say the 26-1-2021
Hi So we germated on the 25-1-2021

ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW ANYTHIBG ABOUT THE GROW SEND ME A MAIL ILL BE HAPPY TO CHAT ABOUT IT
THIS IS MY 3RD RUN SINCE AUG
FRIST RUN WAS 0.18 GRAMS PER WATT
SECOND RUN WAS 0.8 GRAMS PER WATT SO HOPING FOR SOMETHIBG AROUND 1 GRAMS PER WATT
This being the smaller of the plants I did place them up back and kept the XL s together hoping the smaller plants are better suited closer to the roof as the Xls might gain some height
Unfortunately we've had to remove one black cream auto as she started to devolope male parts as well as female parts (hermi) so she got the cut... 11 girls still remain
Topped 9 of the girls after topping two plants and they should no slower growth or problems , it did slow growth by about 12 hours before lights out plants where doing super so another 6 got there heads cut off meaning with 9 plants we have 18 new tops and 21 tops altogether now
Also broke a branch on a plant yesterday noticed it looking like shit today so pulled it off
Also lights moved and airflow out increased as temps warm up I don't want GG genetics turning hermi as it has GORILLA GLUE #4 GENITICS which was a hermi itself ... but high high THC
@Lukush, check the new harvest phtots the big green on is in the description it's the photo of the plant still standing in the background is that big black cream although it's green in colour
@Lukush, I will do I can't belive the size of the green black cream she's released from the netting and she's massive I'll need to tie her back with some LST as her buds are just forming and are on course to dwarf the last set , smells quite fruity with all 3 plants but looking at the green black cream is werid
@Lukush, I got one out of the auto mix pack only plant that fitted the bill thoe out of a collected bunch the black cream are doing the best . Thoe in there own right the gorilla girl xl auto and the cream Mandarin xl auto are doing nearly just as good
@Igrowneil, love a game plan and sounds like u got it all mapped out, a fair few seeds ur popping fingers crossed u get 100% germination ๐ค i have heard and researched into dropping the temperature its risky im sure 2 weeks was the limit off the top of my head, as is darkness forn2 days before harvest. Im following u so will keep me eyes open andbget feedback I ain't got the fundamentals or the space to do that just yet but once I'm further into my development wouldn't mind giving ur technique a go myself. Fingers crossed u will have some seriously resinous smoke once harvest. Thanks for sharing technique, knowledge is power and in this game all these little tweaks help..
Happy growing mate and I hope ur next harvest is fruitful ๐ฏ๐ฏ
@Syrunz, germinating 12 , x4 gorilla girl xl auto, x4 black cream auto and , x4 cream Mandarin xl auto hopefully all 12 pop as I'm looking forwards to this grow as my 1st and 2nd ever grows turned out pretty good , now where back with double the power double the plants in the same size space as the last grow a lot more equipment to keep the environment stable at specific ranges through out the grow
as the week go on I'll reduce the temp towards 16oc will be the final day temp and night temp will be 3oc I'll also in the last two weeks before chop ill reduce the light to 400w to mimic winter coming along with the tempuature droping off over the days , this is the point the plant should produce more resin to protect the flower .... it happens with nature I could destroy a full harvest but it's worth a shot to improve THC degradation to a minimum amount heat and light both destroy the THC I believe so tempuature reduction done in a very slow and controlled manner should in theory be better for the plants flowers. I do belive I'll get the XL plants to 3 foot alone with the black cream in a ScroG type grow or LST I haven't fully decided yet
