Indoor Sour 60

[johnp540]

My buddy tried autos 7 yrs ago and they were junk so he refused them tip watching me this year now asked if after work we can get him set up after I've had him shopping last 3 weeks and everything is here and ready to build and germ. Going to taste a test bud of the quick one also it seems fitting for the occasion.

Lol ya, autos have come a long way. Old concept though. They tried back in the day, but I guess everyone was so caught up in being able to grow hybrids and plants in closets they easily gave up. I don't blame them honestly. Would have been super beneficial if someone would have kept trying back then.
My first autoflowers were ok. I did cream of the crop, cash crop and wos Afghan Kush Ryder. I got bud off both, but I wasn't impressed. The following year I started off with the quick one, then ordered some c4 matic, and had sour livers for a comparison grow, I also had a Skywalker for comparison that I tried the fall before, bit they didn't work out. I took the 60-70 days literally and ended up with very little bud outdoors. Last year was my break through though. I just kept pushing it. And this is my 3rd year with autoflowers and I'm comfortable I guess. I've got a lot more experience from Running a bunch of em at a time, different nutes, different transplant methods, etc. I still think Letting them get their start indoors is best, unless you have a greenhouse or means to keep them from being over watered, extra hours of light helps too. I was hoping to do that this year, but having to move and all has put a hold on most of what I wanted to do this summer. A few weeks ago I had 37 autos planted. Now I'm down to 11. Unsure if I'll have room to grow them all the way I want. 6 are ducksfoot autos 2 are the gorilla gold×ducksfoot. The sour diesel from Royal, two, 2 fast 2vast from Heavyweight, and a BlackBerry cobbler from Gabe. Gave the rest away.
One way I like to start them is in net pots. I had a bunch of 3inch net pots a buddy gave me. They work great, I'd cut every other tine out of the bottom. Larger net pots would be perfect if net pots were cheaper anyways. They have these new fertil pots I want to try, they are like peat pots but better, the roots grow into them just like soil, so it's a flawless transplant basically. At least that's the idea. I haven't tried them yet. Found out about them through kis organics podcasts. Kis sells them too.

So here's the sour she went another 3

inches today and set up her flowers nice, did some lst on her to bring the other tops out the light better. She will fill out nicely these next two weeks.

I tucked the biggest middle fan leaves to to main ended up being 3 of them and she's really opened up now at her growth rate and finish time I feel she will hit the 60/ 65 day make I planned for then it's time for the forum stomper 2liter scrog to take her spot and finish up.

Cheater, you're going to scrog your 2liter? Man I'm glad I found this thread, now I'll know just how to beat you lol

On the real it seems like all of us growers are all pollen chuckers af heart. I mean we all have that strain that we Invision in our head as perfect and that's what each of us works for. My vice(s) are blueberry and just about anything purple.

I too have recently started a bunch of regular seed and even a bunch of fems that I'd like to seed, given I (a) find a suitable Male with either colored pods or loads of resin (both would be ideal, but let's be realistic lol) or (b) I finally make some sts and turn a female to collect pollen from.

I'm a big fan of regular beans also, I prefer the genetic stability. Both of your guys projects sound awsome.

That purple ducksfoot sounds like something I need lol

Update on the Sour 60 shes really loving a liter every two days of the MegaCrop at 2g/gal, added half gram of the bud explosion to the nute mix this week and she's really doing her thing did some clothes pins lst today, open her up little more, I've done slight bit of lst since the start kinda really just slowly directing the branches where I want them so everyone has the cob on them.now for some pics.

She's coming along nicely @midIN and like seeing others try out the clothespin LST. It made it easier for me which is a good thing.

Also day 45, @bushmasterar15 yes it's a great idea thanks, I will be using always now wait til u see the LSD in cob battle. Thanks for the words the sour is coming up just how I wanted easy to raise for sure.

Day 46 and they are stacking great the smell is very sweet, still at 2g/gal of the MegaCrop, I did add 1tbsp of molasses to the mix this time, I planned on doing it half way through since I have the great white mycos in the soil mix this should I hope surpass them til the end I may add one more time for final push during flower since they will be working overtime to help them buds swell out. Shes starting to get her purple hues in the buds now and I must admit these are the most rock hard buds I've done Indoors at this stage of flower solid rock already and the trichs are coming on as well the pics don't do her justice for sure. @Greenleaf Nutrients sure is some great stuff very simple to use and read your plants with they love it. Trying to only use the mega all the way thru at a low dose just to show myself that even at that feed rate I can gain a lot just by asking her when she's hungry. Crazy what one auto cob 3500k can do cheapest cost of a run Indoors I've done so far and more to come. @BigSMo

Day 48 and the sour has just blown me Away shes get crusted with crystals and stacking up ever so nicely. Visual change every day in size. She finish off her gallon of megaCrop with the molasses today I thing she will provide very well for me, I want to post just how much color is coming from her and some updated pics. they are all ready rock hard buds that get tighter and bigger every day. the pistals are so big they remind me of photo period pistals in a nice September day.
