The autos I'll be running this season, the purple mazar and speedy g are regs, the rest are fems.. I plan on doing some pollen chucking with them if I find a nice auto male

This is the first year I have messed with the Cornish X's and if you got them to free range and eat grasshoppers, you surely got some good ones. Mine are all breast and just waddle to the feed and to the water and back. Hell they even lay down while eating non stop and even eat so much they have undigested bits of chick starter in their poop. I feed worms and other bugs to my RIR, Barred Rock, Australorps and Easter Egger chicks and they love them, while the X's show no interest. Hell I can't get the crosses out of the fucking coop and the feed bowl.

Shit hopefully that's not my case, hoppers are good food! I also plan on building a barley fodder rack system. Trying to track down a 50lb sack of organic barley right now.

I wouldn't say that was our experience. They are bred to grow fast and fast they do grow. The only really fatty one we had we let go another four weeks for a thanksgiving chicken. She only put on another lb or two and it was all fat.
This was our experience, too. It's tough, they can barely walk. But oh so good on the grill!

nice man! I look forward to hearing how they do. I haven't ever run autos really, well I guess the seawarp from @getawaymountain might be considered auto, IDK. I prob should try some next year, would be nice for the extra harvest, could stagger em to finish before my full season crop flowers, and maintain the legal outdoor counts.
Speaking of the seawarp, the ones in flower are hitting that really special spot, churning out a really delicious smell, can't place it, but its delicious.

Yea, thats the stories I have heard about the cornish - if you don't process them young young, they stop being able to even walk because of their weight. Thats part the reason I haven't jumped on them yet. I do have an order placed for 6 turkeys though. Gonna do simple hoops outta the game / bison fence and run them till thanksgiving. Have one for family dinner at the misses, the rest to the freezer.
In grow news, I am going to be taking less photos, and prob less time on RIU in general. Its getting to be that time, where the suns out, and my ass is outside working. 1000's of projects to do on the farm, and not enough time to do em! The flower cycle is looking awesome. Had to refill co2 tank, and have it set to 1800 PPM now. Plants are drinking daily now, and the largest ones in the 10 gallon smart pots are hard to keep up with. Next round - 30s! these 10s aren't big enough, been making really heavy teas, top dressing with rabbit manure and compost, and still seeing some signs of wanting more on the heavier feeders.
So far, the wet dreams are as always, looking epic. Furthest into flower, and reeking like pez candy and berries and what I recognize as blue dream smell.
The Sour cherry pheno is a keeper I can tell already. Purple from the get go, and not the wonky caseyband leaning pheno thats a bitch to trim. Very frosty, and reeks of sourness. Like straight nose curling sour.
The purple cotton candy is looking good, although with the sour cherry next to it, its not a fair comparison anymore. I am betting the sour cherry will end up the keeper of the 2.
The dogs are stacked nicely, rocking them nicer this round, and even happier. Should be a good return from them.
The daze / jillanje finally stopped stretching I think. They easily tripled in size. Definitely see they will be longer flower times for sure, I'm betting a full 11 weeks. Should be worth the smoke though, as they both have very nice smells
Blue pits, super qrazy, and the grand master kush, and the orange og x sr71, and hells angels og, and gogi f3 x nepali, and a few more wet dreams x blueberry lotus went into flower last week, and are looking like they will fill the other 3k watts quite nicely. Have the garage at max capacity, light controller is full, and have another 1k setup running 120 on its own timer, so got 9k watts rocking out, co2 at 1800 ppm, temps are now perfectly dialed in, and its a damn fine cycle coming together. Have high hopes!
Next indoor run is vegging nicely. Looking like a 50 / 50 run. Half will be wet dreams again, and the other half will be from seed Malawi and Panama Red from Ace seeds. These will be a fun challenge. Not expecting to hit huge yields, but expecting something entirely different then anything I have grown before. The malawi are the most vigorous plants I have ever experience, or seen first hand. They have outpaced seedlings planted 10 days before them, and have my full attention. the panama red are also showing very high levels of vigor. Both these strains have the long long time of 12-16 weeks, but I imagine what will really happen is I will flower them indoors half of that, and then move them outside to finish. Regardless, I can't wait, and have firmly caught the sativa bug.
The male tent is also rocking out nicely. have the orange og x sr71 male knocking up quite a few lovely ladies. Hes at the stage where hes just about to start massive pollen dusting. Opening the tent right now is pretty magical though - He reeks above all the other ladies. Like straight orange peels. He doesn't have any frost, but has huge 13 finger leaves, decently tight nodes, vigor, and stank in bundles.
The next male going in with his hareem will be a lovely wet dreams x blueberry lotus. Will be f2ing, BXing to the wet dreams, and outcrossing to a large pool of ladies as well.
Got a nice arbor built and some clematis / wysteria planted, and got the framework for a security gate going in, and got the secondary goat pen built. I am going to start rotating them thru my berry patches, and eating down the pm magnet berries. Nearly have the tree burnt up, will be nice to finally have it outta the backyard looking obnoxious, and did one more pass with the tiller, and got some potatoes, strawberries, and onions planted. My black bamboo is shooting like mad as well, I am pretty impressed. Was only a little 1 gallon division last june with 3 little 12 inch canes, and there's gotta be 40 canes now, with more height daily. The timber bamboo hasn't started shooting yet, but I hear in this area it doesn't start till june. The timber is the most invasive / fastest spreading and should be interesting to see first hand lol. I have it in a 65 gallon smart pot lined on bottomwith hardware cloth, and am hoping as rhizosomes come thru the side the pot, I can cut them off and replant them. Hopefully I dont come to regret this lol.
HOLY FUCK! note to self, smoking jakes dreams and typing turns into a fuckin novel. Sorry for the rambling guys!

I've only ran a handful of autos before, I enjoy the early smoke without having to light dep! I have very high hopes for anything from mephisto genetics.
Any updated pics of the seawarps? I have four going right now and many they are growing fast! Like an auto to be honest.
I just planted a couple autos right now so I'll have something to press when my rosin press is done being built, just waiting on the heaters to arrive. I'm using a 4 ton bottle Jack for my press. Just sold my bho extractor, done with that shit.
Freshly super cropped wet dreams, fingers crossed its a female..

So I'm looking at 3 females out of 10 seeds, on the bl. The one I'm going to keep stinks very nice, probably run a second pheno for fun, still working out what 12 plants to move out side. Too many choices I guess. Can't wait to see how they turn out.

Just a bit bummed....
I had 2 Cherry pie X Blueberry seeds pop out of 6 started. Both ended up being males....BOOO! I may keep one and breed it back to the Cherry clone I got from @gardenboss so I have a stock of seeds. I need to restock my seed supply.

I didn't try to clone any of the seawarps, I probably should have tried at least!
And sure thing, that would be fine @treemansbuds @mushroom head
I will also have Orange og x sr71 to grape ape, wet dreams, cherry pie, Dog Kush, SRS, Slymer, and one other I can't recall, think purple cotton candy, or maybe it was a sour cherry. I Need to go look again in the tent. Next pollination round will be another male that stood out among 100 seedlings - Wet dreams x BL. Gotta admit, I am loving having the 4x4 tent dedicated to pollen chucking adventures. Makes it seem so much less risk vs painting. And, I am hoping doing full clones rooted and flowered will produce way more seeds.
In outdoors news, I wasn't happy with the amount of light the mini greenhouse were getting, one half seemed to always be shaded due to the tree cover, so moved them inside the large greenhouse, where now they get sun from first light, to twilight. My wife is really loving to give me crap, as my stoner plannign changes courses so often lol.
I picked up 6 new strains from a buddy . Sent em thru the mail, should be here tomorrow hopefully. He runs a garden similiar sized to mine, and we are doing best of our garden swaps. Getting from him - Purple train wreck, Purple Kush, Wailiu Blueberry, Purple Diesel, Blue lemon Thai, and Flowerbomb. Hes a trusted connect, so I know these are gonna be 6 fire ass strains. Was told its so fucking worth it to run the wailiu blueberry outside, so gonna run one of those from clone.
So this means, I am upping plant count due to the other 2 medical cards being added to my grow. 8 plants in greenhouse 6 in 200s, 2 in 100s. Also, will do all the females up to 10 outside the greenhouse full season in large holes, and also going to do a run with some sativa shit. Gonna flip them indoors june 1st, and flower them inside till mid august, then move outside to finish out. Probably biting off a bit more then I should considering the other farm duties, but hey, here we go!
