On this site I have been posting from my pc. They didn't always come out rotated. Ill mess with it on the next round of pics.

Bad news 3/4 of my outdoor seedlings didn't make it. I think having my plants in the bottom of the tent with the intake blowing on them was a bad idea. Seems like it hardend the top of the soil. So now ill be growing a Purple #1, Fewsian dew and a georges diamond #1 this summer. Going to germ them out of the tent until they break soil.

hey guys, just a quick update on the girls! So far they are doing great. These pics were all take yesterday so 53/54 days in. Still nothing new on the 60 day lemon other than it keeps getting bigger lol. Very few pistils still showing, but she is female just a slow one i guess .Should be a MASSIVE yield.

I did want folks to look at my AKR the one in the back left with all the small white buds. When I compare it to other peoples AKR mine seems to have some explosive growth and CRAZY bud formation. But the buds are super thin and barly filling it. Is this because of how young the plant is? I cant seem to find any comparable pics of AKR around or near that age. Unless mine is just a super hash pheo. Any suggestions lol?

Im thinking two more weeks on the back two girls that should put me right around 70 days.

Hey, ya your atleast 4 wks away jmo.. But as far as the 60day I would throw it in the 12/12 because its NOT a TRUE auto.. That happens sometimes with autos the breeder didn't breed the photoperiod out of the strain.. But you may have made a few to many minor mistakes.. Over watering no cal mag in time ext.. Stupid little things but they all add up.. Might I suggest str8 perlite next time Hempy bucket style don't have to worry bout soil being to hot, or mix it in a bath tub/ big bin whatever you can use and run water thru it for a couple of days, that may help with hot soil.. JMO, oh yeah next time ordering an auto get one that has just auto strain parents, so check the crosses and strain names and make sure there autos then you don't have to worry about that happening again.. Again GL and JMO

Thanks for the advice! Over watering doesn't seem to be an issue considering I got em with water every 3 days making sure the soil was dry. And cal-mag has been added regularly. I am only using compost teas so i thought if anything maybe there not getting enough nutes . Roots organic isn't supposed to be hot but obviously different strains have different tolerances.

Here is an update day 58. Still very thin buds on the AKR super smelly and crystaly tho. I mean at a glance it lopls ready other then its so thin. I could also blast them with some chemical nutes bloom I have see if it helps.

ive heard that the akr's a a strange bud structure on some of there pheno's
im goin to grow 4-6 of these out and see the difference how hard it swings and how bad it affects quality and try to get fem seeds from the most common pheno

Here are a number of current pics. . I also have moved the 260 day lemon into a 12/12 room. hopefully she starts throwing flowers everywhere.



This is the AKR day 60. I have some people telling me its ready and I need to pull it. Any suggestions? It is super crystaly and smells amazing.. But just not very dense... prolly going to make hash outa most of it. Any suggestions on this baby? She is already been flushed for the last 7 days so no more nutes i guess? Guide me people GUIDE ME :)

Auto Blueberry is at day 52 and Blue Mystic also day 60!!!!
Im thinking the BM has another 2 weeks? And the BlueBerry about the same? So one more doze of flowering tea for them.

no the akr is smokeable dont get me wrong you really should let auto's go for 10 weeks in my opinion your fan leaves still have color so this tells me that it still has stored sugars which is a tell tale sign that it still has growing to do

almost all auto's ive grown take 10 weeks for good yield and potency have had them go 14 before the fan leaves totally fall off

rule of thumb is the finish is usually judged by trichomes the little sugar looking stuff when the majority of it is a golden color is the heavy hitting smoke the lighter it is the more speedy short acting it is clear is strictly cerebral with just the pain relief of what cbd has developed

Hey guys, my first time growin'. I chose blue mystic for my grow just sticking with one strain since I'm new I got the seeds from dutch seeds. For my set up I have a 60x60x140 grow tent, 4. 5 gallon smart pots with roots organics original potting soil. My nutes are just hydrogrow floradoua Part A and B 1/4 strength along with cal-mag. For my lighting I have a 600w mh with a 6 inch cool tube. My intake for my air is a 6 inch ducting hose ran straight from my 900-1000 cfm armstong 1 ton electric furnace it sits right on top of the room that I have the grow tent in. It goes stright through my cool tube and into the grow tent then I have my 6 inch 420 cfm exhaust fan with the carbon filter pushing the air out the top of the tent. I'm germaniting the seeds today. I'm open to any suggestions, I'm new so just trying to do this right the first time but I know practice makes perfect rather get it right the first time...

Having grown 60 day lemon in every condition I can safely say this _- MOVE HER TO 12/12. Slower flowering under 18/6 happens sometimes with this strain. I personally moved them to 12/12 and they sped up like no bodys business.
