New Grower Mara's continuous grow

Thanks for the rep, @Frank the Dank! And thanks for documenting your grows.

Another week gone. Here's a report. Clockwise from lower left: Gold Leaf Auto S1, Purple Kush Auto sprout, GG4 Auto, Gold Leaf Auto S1 #2 and #1, Purple Kush Auto:

GG4 Auto is 86 days old, and still in no hurry to finish. My first coco grow, my biggest plant yet. Her perfume is intoxicating:


I have 3 Gold Leaf Auto S1, ages 69, 66, and 21. The little one got topped above node 4 this morning, like her big sisters did at her age:


Purple Kush Auto #2 and #3 are 45 days old and 2 days old. The older one doesn't have a flat canopy, even though she was topped above node 4, because she was cramped up on the sprout shelf for too long and one side wasn't getting enough light:


All the girls are in coco now, with Horticulture Group Flora series nutes that collected dust in the attic for a dozen years. That's it for this week! Happy growing to all, and thanks for the help.

Here's the dungeon today. Clockwise from lower left: Gold Leaf Auto S1 #3, Purple Kush Auto #3 (sprout), GG4 Auto, Gold Leaf Auto S1 #2 and #1, Purple Kush Auto #2:

GG4 Auto is 93, and still pumping. she's 38" tall and 30" wide. I think I'll take the colas next week, and let the lower level cook some more:


The Gold Leaf Auto S1 sisters are 76, 73, and 28 days old:


The Purple Kush Auto sisters are 52 and 9 days old:


The 3 oldest girls could hang any time now. I still have some stash, so no rush. The sidewalk in front of my house has a strong skunk smell. The grow room smells more flowery. I ordered a carbon filter, but the vendor seems flaky, it hasn't shipped yet.

That's this week's report. Thanks to all for advice, encouragement, and camaraderie. Happy growing!

Thanks for the encouragement, @GreenBean!

Another week, and 2 harvests. I'm letting the room empty out a little before I start 3 more so I can make some improvements. Here's the room today, from left to right: Purple Kush Auto #3, GG4 Auto #2, Gold Leaf Auto S1 #2, Purple Kush Auto#2, Gold Leaf Auto S1 #3:

GG4 Auto is 100 days old today. Her 8 colas got chopped off yesterday, rinsed, and are drying in a paper bag. The lower level is still growing, and will get to mature some more:
What's left today: The colas: Yesterday, colas attached:

The remaining Gold Leaf Auto S1 girls are 35 and 80 days old. Their sister got chopped Monday on her day 79. This morning she had a final dry trim, and went from the paper bag to jars:
#3: #2: #1 before chop: #1 after dry trim:

The Purple Kush Auto girls are 16 and 59 days old:


That's it for this week. Thanks to all for the help and encouragement! Happy growing!

Great job my friend!

Happy Friday! Here's a weekly update. Left to right, Purple Kush Auto #3, GG4 Auto #2, Purple Kush Auto #2, Gold Leaf Auto S1 #3:

GG4 Auto is 107. Her colas are just about dry in the jar, and the remaining lowers are looking tasty:
Her colas are in a gallon jar at 63% RH:

Purple Kush Auto #2 is 66 days old and strutting her stuff:


Gold Leaf Auto S1 #3 is sexy at 42. When I trimmed her lowers last week I put the cuttings in some weak nutes to see if they can stay alive long enough to make some pollen. The cuttings are already in flower though, and my colloidal silver didn't arrive yet [sigh]. I want to try injecting a couple of cuttings with CS, and putting the CS in the water for another. I only need enough pollen to make a couple dozen seeds:


Purple Kush Auto #3 is 23. She got topped on day 20, above the 4th node:


I forgot to mention this week's harvest of Gold Leaf Auto S1 #2:


My experiments with infusing oil have been encouraging. First batch was in coconut oil, 2nd in cocoa butter, next one will be in MCT oil for sublingual. My stash is enough that I'll be able to do some upgrades to the grow-dungeon before I start 3 more plants. Having 3 the same age will allow me to start mixing nutes 15 gallons at a time, and maybe automate the watering. Mixing 1-gallon batches for plants of 6 different ages did get to be a pain.

Thanks to all the AFN real live stoners for getting me this far!

Time goes so fast! Friday again. Here are the goilz, clockwise from lower left: Purple Kush Auto #3, GG4 Auto #2, Purple Kush Auto #2, Gold Leaf Auto S1 #3:

GG4 Auto is ready for a 2nd harvest at 114 days old. Her colas came down 2 weeks ago (50 grams dry). I finished stripping off the fan leaves last night, and she'll hang today or tomorrow as time allows:


Purple Kush Auto #2 is 73, and getting close. Sorry her canopy is so raggedy, she was cramped for space during stretch:


Gold Leaf Auto S1 #3 is 49, and looking very symetrical:


Purple Kush Auto #3 is 30. Ten days after topping, her 8 branches are almost even. She needs to get off the sprout shelf ASAP so she has room to stretch and maybe get a little training. In the meantime I've been rotating her pot 1/4 turn every day to keep her symetrical:


The Gold Leaf Auto clones are in weak nutes with different concentrations of colloidal silver. It's a crazy experiment to try and get some pollen. A couple of them look hungry. The greenest ones also have the highest concentration of CS:


After the upcoming harvests I'll have room to do some work before I start 3 more plants. On the punchlist is: seal up leaks, remove more dirt from the crawlspace, add more ventilation, modify the sprout shelf to make room for three 3-gallon pots...

That's it for this week. Thanks to all who've provided advice, encouragement and camaraderie.

The grows all look great! Solid job. I'm curious how your cs experiment works out.
