HUGE Leaves, Auto's GSC / Gelato OG

[Iricana]

Leaves are huge, unlike anything I have seen, should I be concerned about anything here? Still a newbie but not new to the grow community but this is my first time first time growing auto's.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Cheers.

Oh you’ve seen nothing then! I have leaves bigger than my hands! 8-10 inch leaves! (This pic is from about day 30)

Nothing to be concerned about.

By the way, they look good! How old are they? Autos are a bit harder when you’re a beginner.. any mess up can greatly reduce yield. Also hydro, I would say, is some advanced growing.

Great news, thank you!

They are 3 weeks from seed. Been very light on the nutrients so far...still feeding at the seedling level.

Some of my autos have throw out some monster leaves after the 4th node. Took me a while but I found one of the pics. Think she was around 4 weeks just on sex showing. Panned out after this and grown an 100cm lass with standard auto yield. It shocked me at the time.

Damn, she's a beauty tho. Thank you for the info.

Curious, when people get males do you continue to grow for the seeds! Cause ft sure would be allot cheaper! ! Maybe not for people only growing couple plants, but currently I have 20 going, next batch moving up to 30! It just gets expensive buying 30 seeds

I collected pollen from my male plant. I plan to eventually pollenate a good chunk of a future plant for seeds.

So, you have a male auto? And u then pollenate a female plant? I guess I have no clue, no I don’t guess, I know without doubt, I have no clue how one would even go about that!!

Not a male auto.. just a male. The male produces pollen sacks, not seeds. The pollen can be collected into a jar for later pollination or the male can be added to the grow environment to pollenate. In my case, I removed the male from my grow (glad I did this lady is HUGE) and I collected pollen and let him die a slow and non watered death lol

 

[Rayann74]

Oh, that’s interesting! And how do you pollinate them?

I always make seeds

So because I collected the pollen, I would turn all of my fans off and get a paint brush and gently paint the pollen onto a couple buds. After doing that I would leave the fans off for 2 days to allow the pistilate to retract into the calyx and I would spray the area down with water and turn my fans back on. That would be for pollenating like one bud on the whole plant without contaminating you’re whole plant. Seeds will be ready in 5-6 weeks!

Wow, that’s pretty bad ass!!!
