Gnome Automatics My Journey to ALF#5

[FullDuplex]

I’ll be in for a proper chat tonight. I’m glad to have you all excited to test these. I hope they turn out for you like they did for @wwwillie

That plant is a beast. How many days from sprout.

71 days today.

71 days today.

How many more days r u thinking. 85 days for a plant that size isn’t bad at all.

90 or more maybe. FD said they were slow to mature if I recall correctly, these two specifically I mean. The white pheno is maturing faster too.

@Mossy sorry for the slow reply! My tent is only 6 feet tall but I have use of most of that height as I run cobs for lights. I supercrop when things get a bit tight height-wise. Yes I would have space for mid Jan/Feb, if there's still the opportunity (pretty please).

@Eclectic Elle no need to beg you were always on my tester list and id push to create another spot. You ave been following my grows for a long time and active in the threads at that. So it was a no brainer when we picked the testers for these gals.

You got it Girl...........I Thought you might be on holiday...so I saved the space for you..... @Eclectic Elle

You & @Mizzo81 ...I'll use this Test as your training to go on the Seed Test Team if you want if you want a place...?

I dont think that you could have picked better testers, their heart is in it and they are a bit of a fan for this line. Glad to have them along

I think I will get another pair of scissors just for them

Another pair of hands too!

What @wwwillie said. There is a strong chance that you may need the extra pair of hands to help in the process. I can tell you it becomes a job by the time you finish them. I know that they are bif but they are worth the work

Yeah that sounds cool. I would love to be a tester and it’ll work out as I’m always planting seeds. Thanks again and big thanks to @FullDuplex cant wait

Well make some room mate, they are coming your way. I have the f5 brewing and they will be done well before the test so there will be all kinds of seed for the test. I also just pulled a rather large number from one seeded gal (cant release the number yet as they are part of @Dudeski and his guess the seed contest

Thanks to @FullDuplex too for the opportunity!

any tome dear, i am glad that you want to test them, they will do well with all the TLC that you provide.

You will be in for this!
The big girl is 6'2" there are two in this 4x4 tent.

So many purple spears in there man, every time that i see these pics im just in awe, You have done them justice my friend.

Oh boy. Ok so I’ll plan two Lights per plant then. I like big girls and I can not lie. U say these have a slightly extended veg time? Maybe some scrog work although I always like to let the first time I run a strain go natural.

@wwwillie has shown you what they will and can do in a natural setting, so depending on the space that you have they will get rather large for you. I suggest topping or training. I have a new set going that is about to hit week 3 and no sex yet. However once they do its game on

Sheeit LOL. Perhaps in my 120 x 80 I had better run them one at a time!

Or you can top/crop them just remember they will be regular seed so you have a chance of getting males, unless you are @briman he tends to get the best male to female ratio

@FullDuplex and @Mossy

90 or more maybe. FD said they were slow to mature if I recall correctly, these two specifically I mean. The white pheno is maturing faster too.

depending on the size of the container they will finish between 75-90 days. I know that is a large gap but it comes back to container size indoor. If they are multi potted or small pots times will be quicker

I like the idea of topping them! Did WWW top out let them go? I wont mind trimming every bit of those beautiful girls.

 

[Mizzo81]

Thanks for the opportunity again. I’ll train them for sure I have the head height but try to keep them around 40”. Yields and quality look well worth the 75-90 days. I’m gonna make sure my tent is up by then too

 

[Mizzo81]

I also agree on the %, i think that a lot of rec users and users that are willing to first time try are not looking for the higher % that we are and most of us long time stoners almost need at this point. I am happy with the 20% but would like a touch higher. Im not looking for 30%+ just something to take it and the autos to the next step. No rest for the wicked right??/

I agree with this and even though I like the higher % strains I feel like some lower % strains hit just as hard and heavy. I believe I will be able to give an honest opinion on whether it meds to go get worked into the mid 20’s. I can hit a good amount of rosin in a sitting and still get along and function just Fine. Again thanks for choosing me of all people to test these bad girls out. Still kinda scratching my head but trust me I will be ready to go and I believe I can do them justice. Since they’re gonna be regs I’ll make sure to have an empty closet so I can run a bunch to make sure we get at least two good females but I wouldn’t complain about more. And a beautiful male as I’ve never grown a male past sexing lol and never a male auto. Just to be sure for planning purposes start around feb. 1st.

Aww shucks *blush* thanks so much for your lovely words FD! I really hope I can do them justice! They'll be running in my Wilma system so that's 11 litre pots. I'll probably top them fairly early then supercrop as necessary. Thanks for the reminder about them being regs LOL, I had better run three or four just in case - it'll max out my tent so I'd better start thinking about getting another (smaller) one up for everything else.

I like the idea of topping them! Did WWW top out let them go? I wont mind trimming every bit of those beautiful girls.

The girls growing now are au natural. I’ll be topping the one I grow for this.
