New Grower 60 day Wonder, 1st Auto and such a noob.............

[slitherly]

:howdy:Good morning to my fellow enlightened followers of the sweet smoke of cannibus. I have good news! Well, at least for me......lol I have a perfectly normal heart! Well, at least according to all the damn tests I had to take last week. So, I did not have a heart attack, the doc said something about a muscle spasm or something, but I've had spasms before, and it was nothing like that. And why did the nitroglycerin seem to work to ease my pain. Well enough about my situation,:smoke: here be the photos View attachment 115649Of course, I'm a noviceView attachment 115652but these buds are the biggest I have personally seen.View attachment 115653View attachment 115650 I used the international unit of measurement, the bic,:thumbs: to give perspectiveView attachment 115658View attachment 115655
View attachment 115656View attachment 115657And my Priviledge, the photo-plant, is under the scrog screenView attachment 115651View attachment 115654

I couldn't wait any longer, and took a couple of small buds off my "60 Day Wonder" nuked them at 50 percent power till they were dry enough to smoke, and Cathy and I got FUCKED UP!:booya: Of course the taste is ruined if you nuke, but it's been so long, so very long that I had something that actually FUCKS YOU UP!:dance:
So, this is in no way a smoke report.
The pics are of yesterday, day 63..........I am seeing a wee bit of amber in the trichs, Cathy doesn't see any yet, but I know I am getting close to the finish line! My clones are not showing any roots yet, I changed out the water and put seaweed kelp or something like that in it to help stimulate them roots. They are staying nice and green, and with the magnifier I think I see some threadlike protrusions that may be roots.

My plan is to finish the "Wonder", and hopefully the clones will have roots by then, and the scrog will be filled.......then I will throw the scrog into flower hour, and put the clones in small containers, and introduce them, in a staggered fashion to the flowering room. So, if all clones survive, (a big if, as this is my first attempt) I will have a scrog, sog grow.

I have other autos I want to try, two strains from Nirvana, a Jock Horror, and Northern Lights. But I have to wait for my cloning room to be completed....I need more cabinets!
But, I also need more efficient lights, which will have to be Leds....My electrical service is only 100 amps, and while I could upgrade and do the work myself being an electrician, it would still cost money, and it would be a lot of work.
The original installer ran 30 feet of conduit down the side of the house so as to have the service box in the middle of the house. I would have to pay for bigger conduit, and for the wire from my box all the way out to the weatherhead. That's a lot of money!
So, yes, leds are the way to go. And, I saw the "Blackstar" on sale for 250 american dollars or so...159 pounds I guess.
If my episode with the hospital and everything else gave me any insight at all, it is to enjoy my life as much as I can now. I plan on traveling around this country and possibly around Europe soon as I get my finances changed about so that I can.:thumbs:
Question? Now I know we arent supposed to ask each other about aquiring magic smoke, but if I'm out of this country, and in say.......Nova Scotia (my dream vacation) how do I get smoke? Cause a trip without smoke isn't going to be near as much fun. Kind of why I don't fly, I can't take it with me......

How does it work in Europe? I know the US is fanatical, but what of that continent? I want to see it while I can, but I'd like to see it high...lol....
Damn! I wrote a chapter, didn't I? That's what happens when you wake and bake......lol

Oh slitherly, I'm sorry to hear about your health issues. Sorry I missed that a few days back. Just saw it now. (work's been a bitch) I hope you get that all squared away and don't have to live "in fear". It's all about a healthy diet. Don't give your body "junk" that it doesn't need at all (sugar, starches...) - it's just extra work for your system and doesn't benefit anything. I know, you've heard it all before... sorry, just one concerned Ganja Enthusiast to another.

But your plants... NICE JOB!! :thumbs: :clap: Some very fine looking sticky-icky! :smokebuds:
Grow Big and Strong Karma for your clones on the way...

Great news slitherly really pleased it's not a dicky ticker!!

Your lady is budtastik :booya: a superb job, may she bring yourself and Cathy many hours of pleasure!

:coffe:Thanks guys, for your support. Noods, you are so right about food choices and eating healthy,:thumbs: fortunately for me, that isn't an issue as I have been on a low fat, high fiber diet for several years now, i weigh 65.91 Kg and stand at 172.7 cm. (Hmmm, i should always state my statistics in metric, as it makes me seem taller and thinner.......lol. Anyway, the wife worries i weigh too little......(I can't get a break) So, I still don't know what the fuck happened, but I'm still hanging on.......
If only the trichs were amber View attachment 116489 Then I could harvest View attachment 116487 And if My screen fills upView attachment 116486and my clones grow roots,View attachment 116490
then I can go to 12 -12 and put Priviledge to flower!
It looks like a jungle under the screen! View attachment 116488

So, have a question. If I put my lights on a 12-12 schedule, will it affect the "Wonder?" I know the whole thing about autos is they are independent of the light cycle, but I've also read where 20-4 is where Autos thrive best. But since my lady is so close (well other than showing any amber trichs (shit) ) Anyway, do you think it would be ok?

Again, thanks for your support, guys, This forum rocks!:buds:

 

[Firstmass]

Hey Dude, I recon your wounder is done, not all autos change trichs in the same way photos do, go on the new growers forum and look at the thread when to harvest by muddy.

 

[Noods]

Yep, what he said. She might not amber up. It's hard to tell with that light, but it looks like even some of her sugar leaves are getting brown and crispy, autumn-y.
I'd chop her down. :ama:

 

[Muddy]

That looks done to me. All the fan leaves are gone. It's hard to tell under the lights but it looks like the bud leaves are yellowing as well. I'd give her the chop.

 

[slitherly]

Ok, Thanks guys. She lives for one more day. Tomorrow will be the day when I take the knife, and end her life. Because I couldn't keep my hands out of the cookie jar, so to speak, I wont know what the total weight is, but I got some big old fat buds......
I will post pictures tomorrow of the chop and wet weight.

I really want to thank everyone on this forum for their invaluable advice. I have a warm fuzzy feeling for you all!

Damn, my first completed grow............I feel liberated and happy, happy!

 

[Firstmass]

They sure are some fatties to be proud of my friend

Looking forward to the chop picks tomorrow

 

[Muddy]

Stick her in a totally dark place till you chop her tomorrow. 24 - 48 hours of total darkness before chopping increases the resin flow a bit.
