Copacabana

[squatty]

Hello folks,

I started a couple of Copacabana super autos from Stitch in the spring. I wanted to try something sativa that might do well against mold. The plants are nearing completion so I thought I would post some pictures. I apologize for crappy pictures in advance, I don't have a very good camera.


I started two seeds and they both grew well. They popped from the soil April 8 and were put outside the first week of May. They've been growing in a TLO soil. One in a 7 gallon smart pot and the other in a 10 gallon pot.

One reason I grow autoflowers...streetlights.

The first week of September we got some rain and I moved them under shelter for a week.

Thank you to Mediscrogs for letting me post pictures of these plants on all of his threads. He grew this plant last year and his pictures have helped me out a whole bunch. These plants have been growing a very long time and have seemed a bit delicate during the heat of the summer. The fine leaves show any sign of thirst but in general the plants have not struggled much.

Through vegetative growth and early flower I was feeding Neptune's Harvest fish and kelp along with a product called sea green by primordial solutions. They've also had a steady flow of AACT once a month or so. They were also given a bit of high phosphorus guano soil drench in flower.

In August and September I started battling caterpillars. Mediscrogs recommended bti foliar spray which completely nuked them (thank you.) I must have pulled a dozen dead and dying caterpillars off since spraying. I think I could have gone a bit weaker on the solution as the pistils started dying off after the second foliar spray. It's just as well since rain is in the forecast and they seem to have kicked in to finishing.

Thank you Yeatster.

I'll post some more pictures soon to get us up to the present day.

Hey man, I'm glad you're posting your grow for everybody. I've really enjoyed the pics you shared earlier and it's cool to see more of them and how they grew over time.

I was just thinking of your plants today, wondering if you were starting some harvesting this weekend. Colder, wet air heading our way.

I'm really surprised how long they've taken but at least they're huge.

Hey Mediscrogs, harvest is going to have to start soon. Pistils are dying and trichomes are turning milky. The trichomes look incredibly small but there are thousands of them over all the surface area of the small calyxes and leaves. The flowers have gotten noticeably stickier in the last week but I'm amazed at the lack of smell. Occasionally a slight citrus like a stale 7up or sprite and a bit of fruit but still mostly a light, lemony, sweet grass smell.
