New Grower Mara's continuous grow

[Mara Cachafa]

I cannot get through my head how to navigate the blog post journals effectively.

Yeah they might as well get rid of that blog feature, i haven't heard anything good about it. I couldn't even navigate my own glob blob blog or whatevah it was. Some posts disappeared completely, or I clicked "add page" and it started a new blog somewhere else. I hope this "thread" biz works better.

Here's this week's panorama. Clockwise from lower left: 2 seedlings of Gold Leaf Auto S1, GG4 Auto #1, Jelly Rancher fem, Vanilla Latte Auto, GG4 Auto #2:

This week I added the sprout shelf, lowered the main shelves to make room for stretch, and fixed where the rats were getting in last winter. Lots more to do to bring the grow room up to specs. Missing from the picture is Bubble Gum. She got chopped on day 128, Sunday 10/27. She's already dry, and ready for a final dry trim. Her smoke has mellowed now from the electric paranoid notes that pinned my ears back the first time I tried her. She's calmed down to a well-balanced mostly sativa high that didn't knock me out, nor keep me up too late:

Now the oldest is GG4 Auto #1. At 78 days, I could chop her any time now, just waiting for some amber:

Jelly Roll (fem) is 56 days old, definitely in pre-flower. I hope she finishes quick, so I can get back to all autos and an 18/6 light schedule:

Vanilla Latte Auto is 48 and flowering in earnest:

GG4 Auto #2 is 37, my first coco grow. Just barely showing pre-flower:

The Gold Leaf Auto seedlings (#3 and #4), from my own seeds, are way behind schedule. Neither is going to make the 21-day window for topping above node 4. They are 20 days and 17 days old, barely getting started, and #4 has been deformed from the start. I think pH was too low for the first 10 days:

I'm sprouting another Purple Kush Auto now to keep on a schedule of planting every 2 weeks or so.
That's all for this week. Thanks to all the AFN Live Stoners for bringing me this far, especially @420Forever, @Fermented_Fruitz, @Mañ'O'Green, @Mossy, @RastaDaniel, @Kyote, @elcoloan, @ShadyGrove, @CrookDog, @LoveDaAutos, @mdabber, @PlatinumGrows, @mohawk warrior

Some changes in the lineup this week (clockwise from top center: Vanilla Latte auto, Jelly Rancher fem, GG4 auto, Gold Leaf auto S1 #1, Gold Leaf auto S1 #2, Purple Kush auto sprout):

Missing in the photo is GG4 auto #1, by GGstrains through Hembra Genetics, harvested Wednesday on day 83, dry trim last night. The buds weren't getting any fatter, and she was showing lots of amber trichomes. At 80°F and 55% RH she dried too fast, even in a paper bag. Probably will still lose a little water weight. She's not very aromatic, but a tasty vape. The high so far is a nice balance between stony and creative:

Vanilla Latte Auto by Humboldt, via Hembra Genetics, is racing to the finish at day 55, 2 weeks into flowering:

Jelly Rancher fem is looking good at 63, 15 days into flowering. The breeder, Humboldt, says she's a "fast photo" that flowers in 45 days, so maybe a month to go:

GG4 auto #2, first coco grow, is looking shapely at 44. I'm following N.Haze's GH Flora schedule for coco. She got fed "week 3" formula from day 16 to day 40 before switching to the "week 4" formula. Watering to 10% runoff twice a day (over 1 liter now):

These 2 sisters are Gold Leaf Auto S1 (my own seeds!). They both got topped this week above node 4, a little behind schedule because of early pH issues:
Top #1 on day 25: Top #2 on day 23:
Half of my topping attempts so far have been FIMs, which gives 2 extra tops. We'll find out by next week on these 2 (either the wound will heal, or sprout 2 branches). I found an anonymous seed rolling around my sock drawer, which I think is another sister to these girls.

I started another Purple Kush Auto. She broke ground on Sunday. I dropped her pot on Wednesday while moving her to empty her runoff pan. I picked her out of a pile of dirt on the floor and re-planted her. She looks like a survivor. I removed her humidity dome this morning. I've re-set her day 1 to Wednesday (re-plant day):

I'll be fabricating a gutter to collect runoff and rout it into a bucket, so I don't have to move plants every day to empty their saucers.

That's it for this week. Thanks to all my AFN mentors (@420Forever, @Fermented_Fruitz, @Mañ'O'Green, @Mossy, @RastaDaniel, @Kyote, @elcoloan, @ShadyGrove, @CrookDog, @LoveDaAutos, @mdabber, @PlatinumGrows, @mohawk warrior, @Death The Cultivator). Happy growing!

I am really loving both the Vanilla Latte and the Gorilla Glue #4. Who is the breeder of your GG#4?

my GG4 autos are by GGstrains, via Hembra Genetics. Lots of GG stickers came with it.

 

[Fermented_Fruitz]

My only GG was fastbuds in a solo cup and it left much to be desired!

 

[LoveDaAutos]

I have a Gorilla Cookies by Fast Buds growing currently and it's a real pretty plant.
