So far I have grown an auto from Expert Seeds that was a monster but the smoke is just okay
And I am currently growing Mephisto which seem like they will be great.
I grow photos and autos. Autos are a pita and take about as long as photos and are sometimes tiny and sometimes goddamned monsters. I'll probably do one more photo + auto run and then switch to just photos. Just my 2 cents.
My very first attempt at growing was a fail at every point. No knowledge. Crappy space. HPS light designed for security. Tried to grow a sativa in coco in a tiny space. I scrapped the whole thing a few days after this pic.
Here are some microscope shots of the photos. These are the sugar leaves. The calyx' aren't developed enough yet to get a clear shot but there are more clears on the buds themselves.
Not really. They start flowering quickly but then go pretty much like photos. I run both atm and I don't see too much difference. I would choose photo if I could only do the one kind.
This Bruce Banner auto I harvested 10/6/2022
And these Strawberry Cough (right) and C99 x Kali Mist (Left) Photos that should be done late Jan. All from Expert Seeds.
I can't remember where I read it, maybe here, but I saw someone say recently that no other plant on earth requires 12 bottles of shit with cartoon characters on them. The answers about proper growing practices and genetics are your best answers.
Yep. I learned through reading a lot of posts and from my last grow that these things finish when they do. I like to make rough timelines, but I let them go. I personally think a lot of the talk about modulating the high based in trichomes is like tone wood with guitars. Yes, there is something...
Ha! These nutrients are crazy. I want to try living soil next grow.
Thank you. I try to stay out of their way as much as possible and let them do their thing. Next time, though, I am going to let one fem photo veg longer and train it into a net. I just wanted to see the plants in full form. I...
Fun anecdote of something I've learned between my first and second grow: At the beginning, I was puzzled as to why all the Hydro shops sell so many single bottles of things and now I know. Big Bloom and PH up are the only bottles I've made a dent in at all :P
I finally have time to put some bones on this.
The Photo Tent is the 200w BloomPro Alpha Par Kit from Amazon
The Auto Tent is the TopGro "600*" w Kit also from Amazon. *I don't think it's really 600w
For soil, the Photos are in FF Ocean Forest and the Autos are in Happy Frog. I like Ocean Forest...
Looking really good. IMO it's like doing it on hard mode because I find photos way easier. If you want to get some feminized photo seeds that are inexpensive and get decent results I suggest Expert Seeds. I wouldn't even know where to rank them but the seeds are inexpensive and the strains are...
Strawberry Cough appx. 37 days into flower.
C99xKali Mist also~37 days. This one has slightly lighter pistils, but they smell identical. Like strawberries and hot dogs.
The Autos are doing okay. I'm not sure if the yellowing is variagation or a nute deficiency. I gave them another top...
