Auto Blue Mystic Twin Grow

[curiousuk]

Week 3 brings us more bushyness with both babys standing tall at 5 inches each!

they still feel pretty heavy since they got that big water/firstnute a few days ago so ive not given them any water today to avoid drowning them. Il admitt im shocked they are handling this heat as its a dam sweatbox in my place due to the uk summer heat. But if my babys are green an look happy as they are in this weeks update. Then im a happy guy.

Il admit not having kitty around is different but shes found love thanks to a unexspected meeeting with someone who shes fallen head over hells with, who happens to live abroad which is worrying me. But as long as she aint messed around in a country shes not use to im not going to prevent her from being happy!

I will begin removing fan leafs sometme either later today as its 5am in uk, or at some point on thurdays. it depends of how busy i am as ive finally been given a date for another major bit of repiar work on this flat after months of being messed around by the council of all people.

So unless i post any mini updates tune in next week for the first months update.

I like to leave fan leaves until the are dying.

I have taken lower growth (branches) but I look at fan leaves as solar panels.

Those babies look fat and happy to me. Good work.

I am very lucky to be close enough to the ocean that I have missed
most of the heat...and I turned "day" to be 8 PM to 8 AM too.

Good luck,

JD

I already have a mini update for anyone curious about Defolicating your plants.

Your notice a big difference from yesterdays week 3 update compared to this mini update.

As you can see in the above picture i have removed all the huge fan leafs as they do block out light accessing the lower branches(hence the popcorn smaller bud sites lower down the plant). This is the same method ive used which has never failed to produce atleast 1 zip from any autos ive grown while using a 125 cfl light.

In 4 days from now i espect more new fan leaf growth, i will only remove them if they are effecting the light exposure to my lower bud sites as i like to fatten them baby sites up now to help them develop better as they grow an begin to grow there own bug sites.

Its another hot uk sumemr day so im off to hide in my freezer for a few hours if i can fit in it. stay tuned for more news as it comes in.

You're using 125w CFL on both, and they both can produce an oz, or was that for one plant? Also what's your light schedule for your autos? EDIT: Answered my own post with a few reads on the first page lol. But still you expect an oz per plant, with the defolicating? How long do you run them from seed?

light they go into 24 hr lighting until week 2 if they seem healthly enough to swtich, then they go into 18on/6off lighting for the remander of there grows.

Yes i get atleast 1 zip per plant an thats happned on 99.9% of all my auto grows to date my last grow was an auto BM this post shows the jars there compacity weights and almost all of the fully dried BM bud in the jars. so the evidence is there for all to see. https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/610126-mystic-blue-kaia-kush-auto-4.html#post9196369

or if you need more proof this describes the same setup same methods used when i grew out 2 auto northern light twin grows side to side. https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/531079-auto-northern-light-twins-indoor-9.html#post7987036

nescafe jars are what i use to cure my bud in the sizes are posted in the auto BM post link above in this post an the camera dont lie.an they are quite big jars if you seen them so you no you need alot of bud to fill them up.

As for how long i grow them until i see the tricomes im seeking. with NL grows i try to aim for aber/milky tricomes. but so far ive not been able to run BMs long enough to get any amber/milky trciomes due to repairs i needed doing in the flat. which im hoping for this time around. so il grow them as long as they look healthly to get the best results out of them.

Also you need to realise each strain brings grow time differences so you can really stick to a certain week to chop them because some might need longer than others or visa versa thats why i enjoy growing autos in my budget setup. if i went upto 250cfl which im definitly concidering then i would exspect to be pulling atleast 2 zips once ive reassured myself that i can confidently grow autos under a 250 cfl because thatr is a double up from my current 125cfl.

check all my threads an your even find a video or 2 clips of my old NL grows on youtube showing my grow room which is a budget sized one.

Got your shiz down haha. Yeah nothing I didn't believe I'm just really curious because I started off on CFLs growing 12/12 from seed, so the plants were relatively the same size, but you're defiantly getting more weight. I'll be checking out some of your other threads and vids ect. You seem to have these autos down pretty well and I'm going to run into some soon enough, need to start learning whenever I can. You just use single bulbs? Have you ever thought of going with T5s or multiple smaller wattage CFL bulbs? And for how long they need I know all strains are different and you need to look at the plant and not time frames, I just figured since you have those grows you had an estimate, like 60-75 days blah blah. Anyways I gotta check out your other stuff haha

ive never tried 12/12 as i feel the more light they get to more bud growth overal. Yes i use a single 125cfl with the dredded euro reflector. if you check the older grows your see im very limited in my carboard setup space.

Id love to venture upto 400ws BUT im not use to hydro growing or advnace nutes you need to use with them. plus ii would need to gety a grow tent kit due to not enough space. Hence why i could only go upto 250cfl in my groom cause its mesurements are roughly inbetween a DR60 or DR90 secret jardin kinda size an thats limited space.

i truely couldnt tell you roughly the time i chop them all as again i go solely on tricome reading. i only post weekly updates as its easier to see how far threw im at an for anyone trying to follow my grows for there own learning. but a guess id say most my autos are done say in 3 months roughly as i said its just a big guess as i aint memroised all my past grows.

Its been a slow week for week 4, both are sitting happy at 6inches tall. They had there first grow nute feed last week and have handled it pretty darn well. and also got there first 2 tastes of defolicatng. as ive decided to use these twins for alot of practising since ive not really starting defolicating any of my grows fully from a young age to try an improve my overal results.

I have been using semi mainlining (putting a little pressure on each branch lower ones mainly for 10-20 seconds to help them grow outwards to how i want them.) Im hoping this will give them lower branches an better angle for light coverage when they develope them buddy sites.

Ive been looking at this nute feeding chart for my nutes used and it says roughly this week is the last week for grow nutes. http://www.plant-magic.co.uk/pdf/oldtimer-schedule.pdf

I never go by charts normally but ive been in curious an semi testing mode since i germed these because of all the useful potential grow benifial methods i find from all over this site. like maniling which nugsbucket has a very informative guide on and many others post there results to help give you an insite into how they should be looking

Some time tomorrow there both get the last 5mls grow nutes/water feed which will be a first as i tend to not bother with grow nutes on autos due to autos explosive auto tendencies when that side kicks in.

No signs of any lady parts just yet on either but they have been dealing with me stripping them twice to keep the light coverage as best as i can so maybe some sexy legs might begin to appear by week 5, we shall have to wait and see.


thanks to the kick ass summer we had last week i managed to tweet my back an neck threw arkwardly sleeping which is fucking annoying since ive a 20x 30 foot ceiling tear down an replace reapir job coming in the coming weeks and with a painful back it means shifting furniture around is twice as stressful when your packing an amlost half ton leather sofa. So even if my babys aint having adventures, then its either me of my sister having them instead.


Thats all for week 4 as always thanks for following the curious grows folks.

I got a call off kitty earlier this week an she was sure to ask me to say HIGH to all who normally follow her grow updates an shes looking forward to getting back over to uk to get her post on if she can grab herself away from her new boyfriend shes been unseperable from since she met thim.


id like to leave this post with a quote ive had on my mind since i woke up.Catch you all next week!

Some of yal need to just smoke some Weed, and see if it don't change the quality of your life.

They looked great till you took off the fan leaves. Never understood why people do this, quite possibly the worst thing you can do to a plant.

 

[Javadog]

They are chugging along. Carry on. :0)

I liked Nuhbuckets MLing thread very much. I hope to do this in time.

Good luck,

The fan leafs block out light from reaching other lower sites on your plant. Hence why you end up with with popcorn buds, which is because they didnt get enough light coverage during the whole grow overal, and thats mainly because the fan leafs where blocking them lower bud sites from getting the light needed to help them fatten up an grow as best as they can before being chopped.

SubCool a 30+ year breeder an founder of TGA genetics also defolicates his plants to ensure all bud sites (lowers included) ALL recieve access to light threw out there grows. i guess hes dont it wrong. and all the population of the world who defolicate normal veg plants to improve there harvests.

I liked Nuhbuckets MLing thread very much. I hope to do this in time.

same here JD nugs along with all the others who post there ML plants at all different stages of there own grows helps you better understand how its all done. i however dont tie down my branches i simply press them down every few hours with my fingers. the only reason why one of mine is supported is because it was growing at an odd angle so i proped it up so it would grow straight up.

 

[curiousuk]

gave me babys a good flush today as their leaves were a tad curvy an just peeked an they are already looking happyand much more perky! since they were flushed il hold off there first bloom feed until they feel more pot lighter. Also thanks to other minds on here i found out that my semi mainlining wasnt actually that at all. I have been LSTing them both without realising so thats a new step in my own growing experince.

just wish the dam uk weather would make up its dam mind, about being hot an sunny or cool an raining cause its all over the dam place. anyway il update if anythign new developes in the curious world.

 

[curiousuk]

week5

Greetings tokers an smokers.,

Well this weeks update is pretty much as i predicted. they are both just a tad over 6.5 inches tall, very bloody bushy and smell nice.

I havent given them any bloom feed yet as there pots are still heavy to the lift, after flushed them both out a few days ago because i noticed the leafs were curling an going a little yellow.

But as you can see they aint shown any ill effects even after they were defolicated twice last week. And this is why i will have to strip them again to prevent them over growing the pots there both in. or it will be hell to wanter them with all that groth preventing access to there soil an blocking any lighting from reaching my lower bud sites.


2 days ago i noticed a right pair of sexy looking legs haning off the right madam, who clearly is the runt of the litter. an after a few busy days i got some close ups of both. and theres sexy legs all over them both as your see fromt he 2 pics below.

Thanks all for checking in this week.

Have a nice day!

Week 6 has been a normal week for both ladys. They are both standing tall at 9 inches, and have already begun to grow new fan leafs after i defolicate them due to being unable to see underneath them.

Both there lady parts are growing very well infact i think there ladys parts are growing better in this grow compare to the last time i grew a single BM. Water wise they were still to weighty to be water feed which means i have good soil. Finally they felt just right for there next feeding so tomorrow they will be getting there first taste of bloom nutes.

I plan to feed them both 5mls bloom per 1 litre of water to give them a taster before they get a full dose.


This weeks going to be questionable, because the work starts in my ceiling on the 14th which only worries be because my pc fan can be heard if your sitting on the loo. SO im going to be putting trust in my twins resilience by unplugging my pc fan a few hours before they begin the repair work. im hoping they can remove the asbestos and replace my whole 20 - 25 foot x 40 foot ceiling all on the same day. as i dont want my twins to go without any air circulation for to many days.

Thats really all for this week folks. and thats also why this updates 2 days early as i wont have any internet while all this works being done.

Wish the twins luck! lol And as usual Thanks everyone for following the BM twins grow diary!

 

[curiousuk]

Well the twins survived there first nute feeding and no fan running during stage 1 of my front room ceiling being torn down. so im happy about that, infact they are blossoming well without an fan running. im wondering if this is because they had there first bloom nute feeding or the no air from the pc fan i use. either way it just goes to show you plants thrive in even the most stressful enviroments in this day an age.

the next big test will be when i get the date for when the council rebuild my ceiling as that will no doubt be another full day of unwelcome but needed stress for me more than them.i havent got the date for stage 2 of my ceiling repair work yet, so as long as nothing gets in the way, next weeks update for week 7 should be post on time. so thats it for this mini mid week news.

 

[curiousuk]

No real news this week

The left plants just over 10 inches tall
The right ones over 15 inches tall.

So again we have a runt of the litter. My pc fan actually died so they have been growing without any air circulation going, which seems tohave not effected them in any way at all.

They had a good watering today, because they were looking a tad droopy. But 10 minutes later they perked up, which shows they just needed a drink. No next feeding they will get a 10ml bloom with there usual 1 Litre water feed.

This is also a perfect example yet again, as to why they need to be defilicated as its impossible for light to get threw to the lower bud sights, which are already slowly beginning to devlope to the naked eye.

if they still look well by next week, il be sure that my grow room an its unknown tempirture is perfect for Auto BM growing.

Its bene a long day for me, but i wanted to fit this update in even though its gone 4am so hope its what the followers want.

And until next time have a fat one on me!

 

[curiousuk]

Since you can see how bushy my babys are I will be defolicating them both today, due to there being no shred of light getting past the amazonian rainforest of fan leafs my babys have grown again.

My PCs monitor decided to die on me shortly after I posting week 7 update an turning my pc on this morning, so I don't know if or when I will capable to post any updates next week. Not to mention my only access to anything online right now is threw this tiny 2-3 inch blackberry bold screen. Which is pathetic but just about do able.

I'll try to keep you guys updated as best I can since this is yet another rollercoaster of a grow for me.

P.S. I believe that the word is "defoliate". "Defolicate" sound like it relates to hair (follicle).
Please correct me if this is a cultural difference, and I will shut up. :0)

Cheers Java. That's a Good question, since I'm limited on googles search via my mobile. I did a quick search but only found "follicle" in results relating to ovaries which are not quiet grow related.

However this is the direct link to "Defolication" which I've been using on my last few grows. Hope it helps. http://www.thctalk.com/cannabis-forum/showthread.php?73524-(Experienced-Growers)-Controversial-Defoliation-Increases-Cannabis-Yields
