Maybe if I ask a question I can get some love, How much longer do you think I have on both of these plants respectfully before I should flush?
 
Beginning of week 8, the buds are filling in nicely on the two auto-ak-48's, nice and plump and really sticky. The smell is very nice, it's citrus a mixture of orange/lemon and something of a spice in the afternote. Love smelling it.

The other plants that are the same age are not autoflowering- they are slightly stressed losing some of the lower fan leaves to a nitrogen deficiency, but they shouldn't be experiencing non-autoflowering because of it right? I guess I am going to have to 12/12 them to see what they do then. Unless anyone else has suggestions.. at least the auto-ak48's auto'd properly.

THe hydro babies suffered some yellow tip nute burn, the tds was around 350 which is a bit high for plants only 2 weeks old, but for their first water exchange, I am only giving them clean distilled water for the next 3 days so they can feed off the build up and residual. Then I will reintroduce a much smaller dose at around 150 ppm. But they are all demonstrating node growth from cotyledon leaves and their 3 leaf symmetrical growth.

I have pruned and topped the 3 photo plants to discourage their extremely rapid vertical growth, I have to literally raise the light 3 links of chain in order to compensate for their huge growth. Plus they need to fill out on the bottom more now that they too have suffered from nitrogen deficiency and lost some of the large fan leaves. All of my plants 8 in total under the metal halide suffered from this.

SO that is what is going on in my neck of the woods, the trees for the most part are lush and pretty. Just some leaf damage :( but all are recovering.
THanks for reading, photos in 5 days or so.
 
Man, some of those Fan Leaves are HUGE!!! That one plant looks like it could be one huge cola :drool:
 
Thanks Taviddude I don't know if you have subbed or not but I am pretty close to harvesting these plants if you want to come on board for the ride!

I've been subbed in man, but I don't get notifications. Do I have to check the notification boxes next to the subscriptions? Frustrating me, lol.
 
No clue man, but here is update: Day 65:
Indoor flowering plants
Yesterday all plants received water and ferts, the two flowering plants have received their last feeding of Nirvana and 11-36-14 feed. From here on out nothing but water. As you can see they have had some nute problems, I am thinking mostly cal/mag but I have fed them a lot, nothing I have done has worked, and since they are budding I cannot do foliage feeding.
Pic 1 = Under cola nugz of the tall auto ak-48
Pic 2 = Grow room partition of HPS auto-flowering, hyrdo plants, and Co2 Cultivator Exhale bag set up
Pic 3 - Cola of the tall plant, still thickening!! Thankfully
Pic 4 - Close up of 3
Pic 5 - Cola of smaller auto-ak48
Pic 6 - Under cola nugz of smaller auto-ak48
I would really like and be thankful for any information on what I have done wrong in feeding these plants and what I could of done differently in my future grows. I would also like to say that I am certain that part of the damage and spots incurred were due to close proximity to the ozone generator. So that's how these are doing so onward to the additional plants!!

Outdoor Pre-flowering plants

This outside plant is my pride and joy, my favorite most perfect plant, just absolutely huge and stunning and she is pre-flowering!! Hurray! I think she is going to have a gigantic yield of at least 8oz dry. That is purely speculation but you can see she is a huge Indica beauty. I will update the rest of the outside plants as I did the pictures above:
Pic 1 - Clone pre-flower
Pic 2 - Gigantic beautiful female indica dealer strain - I hope someone can help identify her strain from her cola later...
Pic 3 - Pic 2 pre-flower
Pic 4 - Year old mother plant that is re-pre flowering. I will harvest her this year. She was unbelievably beautiful last year, but I knew nothing about growing marijuana and I stunted her severely, but she is a terminator and you cannot kill her, only slow her down. She gave me 100 seeds last year and is the mother responsible for pic number 2. I almost want to clone pic 2 indefinitely.
Pic 5 - Pic 4 pre-flower
Pic 6 - Clone - damage from caterpillars - stupid things..! piss me off.

Indoor non-flowering plants

* My girlfriend was supposed to hydro one of the cups for auto - blue mammoth but planted all smurfberries on accident. So no blue mammoth (YET). As soon as my other plants have been harvested all of these plants are being moved under the HPS for 12/12. THe hydro will be moved under proper growing spectrum as soon as I harvest the two aforementioned plants and move all the photo plants over. So enjoy the following pics!
Pic 1 - The Jungle.. on the left side is a row of 3 plants of dealer seeds of the same strain as the outdoor plants. The middle row is 2 auto white russians, the two babies that were separated from the pot mentioned earlier in the journal, and the last 3 are the oldest white russians.
Pic 2 - Hydro babies- Starting from the top left going to the right on the top row - 1 - somewhat weaker smurfberry, 2 - strong smurfberry part of the triangle of strong ones, 3 The twisted runt
Bottom row starting on the left - 4 Strong Smurfberry part of the triangle, 5 - Super Silver Haze - the tiniest of all the plants but has an insane root structure going on underneath. 6. The final triangle of strong smurfberries. I will post a root picture soon! All are fed at 185 ppm distilled water, they are given a 32 oz frozen gatorade bottle of water a day to cool the water temps down below 75 degrees.

First Silver Colloidal Nuts

You can read about this on my question and answer thread found here:
https://www.autoflower.org/f44/questions-answer-time-7142-4.html It took 3 weeks to finally see these spraying daily with 250 ppm silver, but I have no idea when they are ready to go or when I should remove the stem and put it in water. This is from the tallest autoflower plant earlier in the thread. Due to the timing of when to spray and the life cycle of the autoflower, that doesn't leave much time to pollinate for seeds, but I mention my options in that link.. But I need to know when I should remove this plant and or stem from the grow room? How much longer should I wait to collect pollen? My options are to pollinate then leave that branch after harvest to finish, harvest then put that stem in water, or buy another seed and grow it and pollinate it early, I think I can just leave it and harvest the rest of the plant and get the seeds needed but I need input.. Thanks for reading everyone!

That's how the leaves will look after being treated with silver colloidal.
 
damn things got thick quick in here they all look great are you sure you've never grown before :lol:
 
Don't you patronize me sniper!! :) If you really aren't patronizing me, lol, thanks! No really, I know you aren't patronizing me, :peace: but I feel like I am not doing that good of a job. This hobby has quickly over taken my life as far as passion goes, and I have gone quite neurotic in my quest for growing supremacy.:wiz: I am trying my best here, although that outdoor plant is so beautiful, I wish you all could see her up close, I think I need to make a video.. I plan on a big surprise for everyone if I can get a batch of seeds, but like I mentioned in my other thread, I am going to allow the plant to live on with a branch to develop the seed as long as possible. I am about to pollinate the tall flowering plant tomorrow and see if I can't get some good seeds in time, even if it isn't successful, my attempt will help others in deciding what I have done. And that experience is priceless for all concerned! thanks man. :smokebuds:
 
:drool:Looks great man! You got a tonne of buds right there :booya: well done :bong:
 
no not patronizing :lol: hell your 10times ahead of me when it comes to first grows i had several 3ft plants with about 3 grams each was the average
