You got that right - AFN is the best. I was on another site for a couple of months. Some friendly helpful people on that site too. But not many people growing autos and mentioning vendors that were not site sponsors would get you banned. Then I found AFN about a year ago and I never looked back.
I remember seeing your posts popping up around the first of the year but did not want to assume you were a rookie like me. Started my first grow in February but got off to a slow start and my grows seem to go on forever. Only my second grow. the first one went 109 days and this one is at day 86. I'm thinking one more week ready or not. Patience has never been one of my strong points lol

Most of my strains have been around 80 days total. You'll be looking forward to getting them down for some nice new bud!
Looking really great for only your second grow man!
Im looking forward to your next one already

 

[Duckster]

Me too! I start looking forward to the next grow 4-6 weeks before the current one is finished lol. But that seems to be pretty common among growers. lmao I see you have moved up to a perpetual grow. Don't know if I could that because my grow space is also my drying space. How do you manage it?
Gonna try a couple of Mephisto beans next time. A deep blue c and either a sour crack or sour hound.

Yea always the way of it man. Ive made a drying box out of plywood and put string across it. It seems to do the job. If you havent ordered yet i really recommend getting beans from mitch directly hes a very generous guy and there service is 1st class

 

[Duckster]

I totally agree. I ordered 3 three packs and ended up with at least 9-10 freebies. Even arrived a couple of days earlier than I expected.

Day 87
Took the girls out for what was probably their last photo session. Fecked up a bit yesterday, took advantage of cooler temps and added the grow spectrum to give a bit more light. Meant to turn it off when the temps got up but forgot. Temp peaked at 93 yesterday and was already up to 91 when I opened the cab early this morning. They did seem worse for the wear though.

Sometimes I dry above my current grows, I trim up and double brown bag to stop light and hang above. In summer this could make them crispy but other times of year works pretty well in my climate.

I also spend half the time growing fantasising about my next run... I reckon I next get to plant Oct/Nov..... Exciting!

Day 87 cont.

The TS has topped out at 35" Her buds filled in a bit more. Her spindly branches can't support the weight of her buds. When i took her out there of her branches fell over. I had to add a steak, release her tie downs and convert them to tie ups. lol Most of her pistols have turned orange and the buds are smelly and sticky. Not as big as the last one but I'm hoping she will give up at least 40-50g.

She has the most orange pistols but seems to have the least amount of amber trics.

Day 87 cont. cont.

The TBM has topped out at 31". She has a couple of nice colas, one about 15" long and the other is about 12". A few other nice buds too. All of the fox tailing makes look fat but not sure how dense they will be. I'm hoping she will give up at least 40-50g.

Some places have a lot more amber than others but I'd say she's about done.
