Day 39: Return to Jurassic Park

The Fat Blueberry Auto (front right) is already showing signs of pre-flower, and is a huge bushy bastard. Going to be way bigger than the last autos were when its finished.

Major defoliation will happen for all plants on Monday and then res change Tuesday.

Let's call this Day 1.

Linda Somango Auto x4

5ml/gal Sensi A/B
5ml/gal CalMag
3ml/gal Hydroguard

I will add Silica Blast *after* these are manifolded to 8 colas so they don't break as easy during the process this time.

These will be on 24h light for a few days then switch to 18/6 for the duration.

I split my harvest into two half pound Grove bags a couple weeks ago as soon as drying was complete, and I put those bags in a nice, cool dark spot.

The bags maintain a consistent RH without using any Boveda packs, and keep the smell contained. My working dog, who has an obsession with eating my plants, can't scent them out at all which is nice because she gets into EVERYTHING.

The curing process is going great! Bud doesn't smell like hay anymore and is taking on a wonderful, sweet and almost fruity aroma. Already smokes REALLY smooth, and I suspect it will only continue to improve with time. The bags certainly do everything they advertise and I am completely sold.

Time to save up to order a bunch more. You guys make a great product and I have been slowly convincig my other grower friends to try them.

@Vegasbear87 add just a little silica all along so all growth is stronger. Be sure to mix the silica into fresh water first before any other nutrients. Even with that some strains will just not hold there colas .

@Mañ'O'Green last grow the silica hardened the children up so fast that training them became really difficult and I broke a couple of them. I will add it in with the next water change.

I only add mine with a res change and just a wee amount. If a branch is brittle train sooner or higher up. Or like me by accident. I top autos. I am going to try kelp in a foliar application to break the apical domination in the grow I just started.

I am thinking I will manifold these like I did the current grow. The Fat Blueberry Auto didn't seem to mind at all, and she's super fat now. Lol. Interesting about the foliar application. I'll have to look into that.
