well, they are beautiful.... curious where you got the genetics from? sounds like they aren't stabilized to auto... or maybe dropped the trait alltogether?

So here we are at 10 days from germ and 12 days from start.

100% germ on 21 autos
7 autoberry
7 autowido
7 lowryder #2

strains origin: marijuanaseeds.nl

current theme music: Stevie Ray Vaughn : Traffic Jam
Mood: Very High!

these autos... mhhhhmmm thinking the name might be coming from auto-erotic.. god thses plants are sexy and fast... these girls get down and dirty fast!

now for some christmas comp planning... hmmmm gotta get my hands on myrcene terpos!
thanks for the tips over the last few pages especially FD and mossy... you guys just keep it comin... i keep grabbin posts off here directly into my research log stack! full of lil tips! I like the sugar at night to see if they perk up in the morning for nutes especially! a trick I did not know! but it makes sense!

I'm going to have to allocate more time! to keep up with this thread... grew 5 pages? yesterday! holy crap!

peace and love to all... grow grow grow!

Aw....look at her....and you chopped her Down......

She is Stunning m8...

Tric Forest Heaven...

Gotta a carol..specially for you...

Silent night..holy night..
make my buds all stay white..
keep the purples away..ay..
kee..eep those purples away.

and one for BH...

Oh..the weather outside is Frighful..
but my girls are all Delightful..
so as long as my AF's Grow..
Let it snow..let it snow..let it snow..

Bloody DC gets me into trouble..again...

Vinegar Vigor...



Double the height in width..well defined leaves...oh..fingers crossed.

The Only logic behind it is...
when the element in the kettle is coated in cal..
you fill it up with water and half a cup of vinegar..
boil it and it disolves the cal..

Worry was..if it simply made the cal settle to the bottom of the water..
then bubbling the water might disturb it..
But..
it is looking Fine..ATM...

Weeell...I think she is Stunning..as beautiful as I thought she would be..
You got a lot more than you bargained for..
But..
not what you paid for.
I wouldn't kick her out of bed though..
bloody good job you have all that height in your grow cupboard eh..?

I can imagine you with your foot on her head shouting...
"back in the cupboard Bitch..."...


endorium..keep on doing what you are doing..they are obviously enjoying it.

And the last pic is all the fruit of my endless harvesting..16 plants worth of TRIMMINGS!! CAN YOU SAY HOLIDAY HASH!!!!!!

Click to expand...

Seems we have found another holiday tradition...

currently runnin the Kona Mist (X2X4) where X2 = smoke twice and X4= add to tea... finely ground... mhmmmm love the flavor... also in my pics you'll see the 4 kona mists that are started... they will definetly be crossed x LR#2 and then crossed back x kona mist and then back x LR#2... whatchya think mossys? good start to make an auto version of one of my favorites?

or maybe throw a gen of the original cali mist and a level of original kona?

yes i had to take the shelf out i had the on to give me an extra 8 inch..

Ok so i dropped some more autos to night:

Bad Betty
Fairy Lights
Oguns

So in total i have the following autos going this year out side:

ALF#3
Bud Wider
ICU#2
Bad Betty
Fairy Lights
Oguns
Auto AK47
NYLD

dont think ill be putting any more out this year that is total of about 80 autos altogether plus a fuck load of normal plants that are consuming 10Ltrs of water each every few days.. fuck me dead Mossy and FullD Ill fly you both down if you help me carry the water through summer LOL

good start to make an auto version of one of my favorites?

Click to expand...

Perfect reason to..

they will definetly be crossed x LR#2 and then crossed back x kona mist and then back x LR#2...

Click to expand...

But why double dip...?

Make the cross..germ..look at the dominance in the F1's..
you May get what you are looking for straight away.

If you are lucky and get kona mist doms..grab some pollen off the most AF KM dominant male..
and freeze it.
Then if you start to lose the dominance..use the KM Dominant pollen to do a back-cross..for the strengthening.

One tip..nothing scientific..just observation..
Make the AF part of the cross the Mom.
For me..the females hold the dominance in a cross..

The most important part of an AF/long season cross is to get good AF dominance.
Then start manipulationg the cross through the F's to bring the traits you want from the long season parent.

I get stupid high % AF dominance in my mixed rolls...and I think this is part of the reason.

Happy Hunting...

word the f up shroomy! I did a shitload of carrying water this summer... but was never discouraged... in fact, it only motivated me more to finish this year so i could have drip feed next year! yeah baby!

oh yeah, and that was before my discovery of autos

mossys! my man! thanks for the breeding tips! guess i was getting ahead of myself! lol... but it sounds like i'm on the righ track... go for the af first.... one thing is... i intend to do my development by using females so i get fems out. from what i understand, if you take a female plant, force it to hermy after it starts flowering (by stress, ie photo, ph, temp or a combo of the above), then capture that pollen, any female you cross it with produces a feminized version of a cross of the 2. Am I understanding this correctly? Not usually one to take shortcuts, but i hate wasting energy on males when i want production fast! lol the idea is to breed my own lr#2, autoberry , and autowidow, feminized for coming outdoor season.. kona mist and other breeding is secondary to being ready for may in upstate ny.
thoughts? suggestions?

always welcome...

LOL i am rigging up a bilge pump to pump water from a river into a 500 - 1000Ltr container

should make it a lot easier

That is what I Understand to be true..it is how it is explained in the Marijuana Botany book.
The pollen must go to a different female.
But..
I haven't tried it.

What I did do was I hermied them out with low light...
anything under 10 hours Normally does it..
it takes about 4 days to happen.
They self pollenated.

The seed was Good..I only germed 7..I think..
long time ago..
and I know I got all fem but never trialled it out enough to get an accurate opinion.

Do you have enough stash..or are you relying on them for harvest..?

going back to what was said a few pages ago about males from pre ferted soil.......I planted 14 Speedy G (s1) beans into my organic mix I been making over the last year, 12 males 2 girls + out of the 14 I managed to drop one, which was a girl so now I just have the 1. they have only had water, they look very healthy but next time il get the seedlings going in my old mix then pot up into my mix when there big enough to handle it.

Nice little jingle there my friend
and the thing is its so true.
I see the DC is working well.
I think its my fate to be a White Knight.
I can tell you i have had 8 females
from your variety and still all white
one decided to tease me with a little color
but dominant in white
