Did this lady in a shared DWC bucket.
Great auto yield. No herming and beautiful red buds.
Gave the floraflex lineup from veg to bloom.
Had some issues with leaves burning up close to the lighting but the buds are a beautiful color and smell like a nice piney gas.
Cannot say anything but great things with this plant! Very happy and results are great.

Hace un par de días le he dejado de dar nutrientes y he suspendido todo tipo de alimentación para terminar con una cosecha más limpia.
Ahora solo toca ir aumentando el volumen de riego e intercalar los riegos de agua sola y enzimas para aprovechar todo el alimento que pueda quedar en el sustrato y así lograr la cenecencia.

Did some ballsy defoliation yesterday, but the girls seem to be rebounding well... Not sure if I stunted the northern lights plant or if she's just genetically shorter and bushier.
I find myself popping my head in the tent to check on them enough that my husband walked by and said "I wish you loved me as much as you love your plants"
12/23 update. Unsure what my leaves are trying to tell me. Soil felt a little dry so I took the opportunity for a pH balanced fairly heavy watering, no nutrients this feed. Maybe a salt build up since I've been giving light nutes with every feed? Last flush earlier this week with solid pH on the runoff, so maybe not. Maybe just too much nutrients in general. I'll back off for a bit and see how she does.
12/26 update: lemon auto is getting light burned AF. Wound up rearranging the light situation to take her farther away from the light, but still within it to get enough light for some (hopefully) dense buds. I think a bigger tent is in my future. Feeding every other, otherwise getting pH balanced water

Start of week 8 for DG. Buds are still filling out. Wondering when of if I should flush her before harvest? Only been using Cronk Nutrients for a couple of weeks so I don’t think there should be too much of salt build up. Haven’t tested and ppm from runoff. She still showing a little bit of bite or light burn so I fed her plain ph’d water for 2 feeds in a row so we’ll see.
The GWK is starting week 7. She’s taller but still has a lot of filling out to do. She also showed a few leaves of nute burn but I’m pushing her. She had one plain water feeding this past week. She’s looks great though.
Flush or no flush? I think I’m a couple weeks out from DG harvest.

I was under watering quite a bit in an attempt to make sure I didn’t flush out the benes and nutrients of the super soil. Ironically, I might have killed all the benes. Lol.
Either way, they’re getting about 1 gal every other day now. Growing strong.
This plant got some of the most thrip damage. It also had some really strange early growth.
It looks about a week or so behind the other two autos that I planted at the same time...
Just did another spinosad treatment. I haven’t seen any more thrips in the greenhouse since the first treatment 10 or so days ago. Saw a leaf hopper in there though 😡

La primer semana se flora vinene muy bien , fertilizamos unas semanas antes con fertis de pre flora , a los 15 días vamos a hacer el último riego foliar con ferstis y un riego con guano de murciélago con melaza para mejores resultados

Pretty loud terps. Smells great. Candy grape with a little gassy. Tricks forming nicely. Still no herms since defol. She handles stress nicely. This phone for the pack of seeds is a keeper I think, though I didn’t take clones.

D71/F24 - 11.29 - There's not much to say about these two. They didn't even hiccup after the defoliation, though it does appear their stretch has just about finished. They both have fat greasy prebuds right now, and the Passion Berry has particularly long pistils. A pleasure to watch em grow! <3
D76/F29 - 12.4 - Just like holy fuck these things are monsters. 🙏🙌 Praise be to Swerve 👑, I'm astonished at the pace and vigor of these two plants

This plant was an absolute dream to. Grow, no issues at all with health of plant, just struggled to tame her as she was a a thick strong climber 💪💪.
I'm so impressed with how this turned out, I could have flushed for another 3 days to make it 12days but I needed the space.
After The 2 days of dark I was recommended I can definitely say it has vastly boosted her trichomes and the smell when I opened the tent blew my head away 😍😋
Aiming for a 10-14 day hang dry,
The 10-12 weeks curing in jars with humidity packs.
I will update with a dry bud weight and smoke test 👌
Bud wet weight is just 500g+
Final bud dry weight is 298g.
Of juicy resinous purple and orange buds 😍 smells like sherbert and hang dry smoke test revealed a candy sherbert, no banana yet but hoping like the grow it matures with cure process now.
Hits eyes straight away, sandy bottom kids, giggles, munchies, fun time with Mrs, bed. Full cycle with this one very happy over here 😉😁💚
FAT BANANA AUTO FROM ROYAL QUEEN SEEDS, big thank you to the team, and the breaders. What a pheno I received. I appreciate you all

Sufro de lumbalgia desde hace 6 años,siempre fui una persona muy deportista,correr y jugar al fútbol siempre me ha hecho disfrutar de la vida,empecé a tener problemas con los isquiotibiales y al poco tiempo acabe con una lumbalgia,cada vez que hago un pequeño esfuerzo,como levantar peso del suelo,bolsas etc, siento unos pinchazos terribles, esta cepa de somango a pesar de ser autofloreciente me aporta pura vida,extremadamente efectiva a nivel físico,te quita cualquiera que sea tu dolor de un plumazo y también te aporta un buen mood como para ver tu peli favorita al final del dia,todo un auténtico placer.sin duda me encantaría cultivar esta cepa mas veces,aun tengo 3 mas, 2 de ellas también violetas. Espero wue os guste mi trabajo.he disfrutado mucho con esta genetica. 💚🤞🌱❤️💛

This girl is looking delicious! She’s not packing it on quite as much as the Obi-wan’s are, but they are so beautiful looking. Just covered in tricombs everywhere. She is starting to show signs of pk deficiency, older leaves are starting to yellow and we are now seeing the hairs starting to recede and some turning red. Probably be harvesting her first before the other 3 obi-wan girls as she looks to be slowing down faster...if that makes any sense...lol I’m not planning on doing a lengthy flush on her so I’m thinking we will wait till we see all cloudy tricombs and then give her a week or so flush till we start seeing about 20% amber. Well that’s it for this week! Cheers 💨
