Damn son! Thats hot!

Did you measure that somewhere in the shade? Guess what the temperature is in the full sun at mid day... definitely a solid fire baptism for them these past weeks!

Yup, sensor beneath the table. Temperature today is 36°C and Humidity is at 25% lol, all time low!! But I'm not complaining...
The ladies are definitely struggling with these high temperatures, but it's ok. Survival of the fittest bro.

The Auto Oh My Gusher seems to prefer the more controlled environment of a growtent as the high temperatures are playing havock on her...


She's twisting and turning...


The lower you go on the plant the nicer everything looks. World upside down on this one


Next, we have the Auto SFV OG and this one doesn't mind the heat so much. She's currently pumping out pistils like there's no tomorrow...


Very healthy lady, and fresh pistils everywhere. I did raise the amount of water I'm giving these ladies, from 1.5L/day to 2.25L/day. As I felt the soil was a bit on the dry side. And my only job is not to kill the soil life, so not to much water so no one drowns and not to little so anyone shrivels and dies...


First signs of frost...Yup, that's a good sign


...Lovely isn't it? ♥


And last but not least, Auto Mac #1. This one absolutely loves the heat inside the greenhouse and is still growing like a mf'er!! This is one plant and is potted in the fabric pot in front of this picture. The plant is just expanding like hell and while she is very large because of the 7gallon soil the roots are thriving in, she still looks amazingly bushy...


She's starting to go into flower. So I'll be starting a PK Booster Compost tea in the near future. With these high temperatures the amount of Orgatrex I'll be adding will be a bit higher as the bacteria will eat all the carbs by the end of day one if I don't...Not to worry, the extra carbs added with the Orgatrex will give you so much more bacteria to put into the soil




Well, that's it folks.

Bob

Hey AFN fam

First off, I apologize for the bad quality pictures, but the timing wasn't there. Sun was just under and then the phone will do it's best to compensate...blablabla... Half an hour earlier and the quality would have been there...

Anyway, let's begin with our Auto Mac #1, this lady is made for the greenhouse! She can withstand copious amounts of heat as long as you keep her feet wet of course Give her a large enough pot and she'll fill out nicely. The biggest (not highest) plant underneath the poly


She's fully into flower and not a pistil on her mind she's gonna stop


The main cola will be something special, but she's going to be taking her time for it...


Next up, another lady who doesn't care where she's put. As you can see she's full on into flowering and building up one hell of a main cola. The Nitrogen issues have been amended by adding three tablespoons of Silicium Flash to the Bactrex/Orgatrex mix I was giving.


This one is really calling out for some tea you guys...


Going to spray them one last time with the Boom Boom Spray after I watered them with the diluted tea. The plan is to do this tomorrow evening just after sundown. About the time today, which is bad for pictures, but right for anything else that requires effort


I'm sorry @Antonio_DutchPassion,
but the only shaded spot in the greenhouse will put this enormous plant, and she is just the highest in the greenhouse, in plain sight for the neighbors to find out. So she'll have to do with the spot she's begotten. We already know she's not in favor for high heat, but we can conclude out of this that you've got a strong cultivar in your hands with this one. Not one banana to be found on this one. Ok, she's not looking a 100%, but I'm still very fond of this girl ♥


If the flavor agrees I'll have another go at her inside the tent, think she'll do much better in there


Anywho...She's began her flowering cycle and will probably get a kick in tha bud after the treatment with the Boom Boom Spray



See you guys very soon



Regards,

Bob

im tagging along Bob and the Sun can be a very cruel mistress but you seem to have it all in hand

You're more then welcome buddy!


The Auto Mac #1 is really doing great! This cultivar hasn't given me any issues what so ever. Just plain water and yesterday her first dosage of tea. Even the leaves that got pecked on by the chickens aren't quite visible between al the other leaves.

If you want a bushy cultivar which can take abuse like a heroin hooker this is the one for you.


Fully in flower and not giving up on producing those darn beautiful pistils.


And this is all over the entire plant...


Next up, we have the Auto SFV OG. This one is nicely on her way to produce an amazing cola for me. Quite a lot of lowers, which I'm inclined to remove in the coming days. What's your opinion @Antonio_DutchPassion? There's still light enough hitting those lowers and food enough in the soil, but I question if that energy isn't better spent on the upper part of the plant?




That main cola looks juice ain't it


And so do those side shoots. I'll try to take a couple of shots from that lower stuff by next update


Everything is starting to get that nice layer of frost...Winter is coming!!


And last but not least...Auto Oh My Gusher. Despite the hardship she's had to endure, I'm still very curious about what she'll deliver...


She's gone into full pistil producing mode and not ready to stop any day soon, I'm sure of it. The treatment with the Boom Boom Spray really gave this one a kick in tha bud.


And while she's still showing signs of heat stress, the rest of the variables are A-ok


Healthy looking colors on her and that, while only giving her plain dechlorinated water. Oh, talking about water. The last two weeks the level inside the IBC has barely dropped, but still took about 5min. to fill up to the brim. If I had to guess, I'd say approx. 100L had been used up by the plants. That's not bad at all with water prices doubling over here!!



And with this line, we've come to the end of this post you guys...Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did writing it and I'll see you next time



Regards,

Bob

Regarding the lowers on the Auto SFV OG, please leave them be.

Then I won't touch them, but I can't promise I'll be as nice to her in a month or so
Meanwhile everything is whoopty doo inside the greenhouse.
Hydrating the soil is done automatically and all I need to do is enjoy my time spent gazing at these perties.


Auto Mac #1 is showing signs of overfeeding...Burnt tips and dark leaves, but is still looking kicker!!


The amount of pistils produced is just amazing!!


Looking at those bracts, which are the remnants of the first flowers by whom I could see the sex, and knowing that all those calyx's underneath them fresh pistils need to expand as much, I know I'm looking at a bright future you guys


A bit of tipburn is ok right @Mañ'O'Green?


Next up is the Auto SFV OG and boy-o-boy is she a smelly girl! I accidentally bumped into her and was instantly transported into a pine forest after a fresh downpour


Of all the DP girls, this one is looking the furthest. Even though her "life expectancy" is about 75-85 days.

Nice dark color and surfing on the edge of overfeeding, but hey...the bennies give what the plants ask, right


Even the lowest parts of this lady is looking nice and frosty!

To close the ranks I've got my Auto Oh My Gusher to show off.
This girl hasn't been the easiest to play with and is quite picky when it comes to extreme temperatures, which can and will happen inside a greenhouse.


But she came through the wormhole in one piece and is flowering none the less.


All big things have small beginnings, right?


She's a big plant and full with these kind of budsites. Give her time and she'll do alright ♥




Well...That's it for today you guys!! See you again next time.

Bob
