Back from vaca... looks like we got busy in here while I was gone! Love when flower starts and the pictures start rolling in... Mine are still going nicely. The Pure Indica has trichomes and brown tips already so that will be an early finish which is nice. Guessing second or third week of Sept...

That's awesome. They look great. Very healthy.

Welcome aboard! We definitely have a pretty awesome group this season. Hows it going outdoors so far?

You boys hear word of a hail storm potentially coming? Looks like it could get dicey pretty soon here.

Yes, those are autos. I dont have a ton of experience with autos, as this is the first season I've tried them, but I'm definitely going to continue doing them. So much fun having flowers done and drying in July. And August. And Sept. And Oct...Hahaha I have harvested 2 autos so far this season...

Got some Double Grape from Mephisto (my first auto grow) Didnt have the heart to cut the sugar leaves off. Haha

I talked to a seasoned pro who has been growing outdoors for 30 something years. I always try to extract as much as I can from people that know their shit. He convinced me to leave the sugar leaves on for the first time. I asked because the sugar leaves on this plant are COVERED in trichomes so...

Yup. They finally stopped coming on the first one and the trichs looked right. So that Double Grape is coming down now. I'm gonna let the second one go another week. See what happens.

The first 1 of 2 Mephisto Double Grapes is coming down tonight. I thought I could get some purpling if I held out and got the temps down but it just wasnt in the cards. I'm gonna let this ones twin stew for another week and see where that takes us.

You are making some valid points. I hope you stick around RIU...and "hermie person" is one of the funniest things I've heard this week. For growers, there is a hierarchy of scum. Rats are worse than rippers. And nothing is worse than a rat.

Looks awesome. That's gonna be insane when it's done.

Thanks! The one on the right is a BlueBerry fem from "Canuk Seeds". I love the shape of it also. Just 20 or so 4'-5' long branches reaching up. And the node spacing on it is insane. Super tight. Cant wait to see the flower structure. This is my first year growing that strain so it's been a...

Hey....Remember I was telling you about that mental 1 finger leaf I saw somewhere on the plant at some point? I found it...hahaha It's on this plant...

Yup. Same here. I got my light and tent setup for under $400. It's the perfect size for perpetual auto grows throughout the year regardless of what's happening outside with the big girls.

Meh. I've talked to him a few times. They have been there for a while and he seems like a solid dude. Either way, it might be worth a call. Like a "I heard you guys have good prices on HLG stuff" kinda thing. Last time I was in there he was going on about how good his prices were on HLG stuff...

I have. And I've asked that question many times. Ive heard everything from "pests" to "the plant sacrificing a branch that wasnt getting enough light or nutrition due to an internal issue" to "it's a response to stress" to "its probably physical damage you cant see". I think all can be...

Very true. Typically the purple color is down to 2 factors. Genetics and environment. There are others of course but those seem to be the biggest things. Genetics is an obvious cause, but as for environment, the chemicals that make the flowers turn purple can be turned up a notch if the lights...

Haha...yea. 24/0 is a popular option with autos that finish this early. Most auto growers tend to do either 20/4 or 24/0. Or they mix it up at different stages. My logic was that 20/4 is 17% less light than 24/0, and when you only have 60 days from seed to harvest, I'd rather have 17% more...

Yes! That's what I'm doing this season. Same exact plan. I am never going back. The first autos I harvested have been a huge hit with the people I gift it to. Supposedly it's some of their favorite bud ever. So the quality is there. I got 4 ounces of rock hard nugs off 2 plants earlier this...
