Indoor Zaaboot has gone to pot 2022 auto spree

[hope2grow]

Hello you lovelies - how are you all? I trust you are all keeping well and spending time in the sun at the beach, river or whatever!
Drives me nuts all these doom mongers saying we are going to melt in to a pool of our own urine whilst trees sing songs and the sun explodes in to 7 pieces with 4 of them heading straight for the M5 Corridor!!! twats

Anyway, once again I have been away for 8 days this time, I set the watering system up before I went and this timer it went without drama. The wilma res is circa 45/50 litres and the water butt I used this time is 100ltrs, I got back late last night and the butt was empty and the water fan had burned out and the wilma res had about an inch swilling around teh bottom...so not bad, they had a drink.
The heat in the garage has been OK, and with the extra insulation that is teh lung room, the temps inside the tent have reached a maximum of 28.7 which is absolutely fine.

Added another 100ltrs to the butt this morning making the nute solution up of Green Haze Bloom A&B, calmag, Buddhas tree PK9-18 to an EC of 2.2, dropped the PGH to 5.8 and will allow that to creep back to 6.2 before dropping it again.

I thought about adding my air conditioning unit to the Inkbird controller this morning but decided against it, waste of electricity and with the high temps not really being that hot I will leave them at their 27/28/29 today and see how it goes the rest of the week.

Started taking pictures but my phone died so only a couple of snaps - the Predator is frosting up like there is no tomorrow (all three are to be fair), her buds are getting nice and fat and have been solid as a rock for a while now. Expecting a week to 10 days more before the chop.
The other two from Auto seeds are doing swimming along - the Acapulco gold has an unholy amount of crystal coating, the Pink Runtz has kept her lovely pink colourings and has continued to fatten up and has some lovely long colas.

When I get charged back up I will take more snaps and post in the other diary to update that with the Auto seeds. Anyway - Top wizard is @Sawney_bean, I have been away for nearly half of this grow, the Predator has essentially grown herself which helps.

Acapulco gold from @Autoseeds.com - stunning lady she is

Anyway, on my galivants over the past week I bumped into an old hippy friend of mine down on the coast - anyway, as one must I acquired some of his wares.
A nice bit of Maroc export grade. You can't beat the flavour, I love hash ever so much - and when I make my own it is strong and lovely blah blah blah but never will taste like this

Plants are still on auto pilot, the three of them work well together and will wrap up at similar times so I won't hang around - all three will come down at the same time, and the next four will go in to their 'chicken poo starter home' in the next few days. I will start them off in the drying tent and swap them over once these ladies are down.

Next batch will be:
JLO F2 - a breeder from the US swapped this for some seeds, these seeds came from a cutting of Juanita La Lagrimosa which as been coined the mother of all CBD plants, and has been crossed with an Auto OG to F2.

Two seeds from @SuperSativaSeedClub_John one is Purple Punch and the other Afghan X Northern Lights X Auto, after my last SSSC run I am very much looking forward to these.

The last one is to be decided, either something from my Mephisto box, or something I got in a swap from a chap named QTIP in the US. 9 Hammer x Pure Power Plant, with the PPP coming from a cutting in Colorado and no idea where the hammer came from, PPP was my all time favorite plant for many many years and one of the very first plants I ever grew. I remember it well - I had a little NFT table, a 400w MH bulb and 600w HPS bulb to swap when flowering. I used Canadian Express nutrients. I got the seeds from Amsterdam at the Dutch Passion store must have been in 97 or 98 (as it was released), I grew the gangliest shittiest looking plants the world has ever seen.
I knew not of something called 'stretch' so I kept them growing until they were the height I wanted then flipped, they grew like bastard triffids and took over every nook and cranny in my little manor, very few buds around - but it was all mine and I grew it and the taste is teh one thing I have never forgotten and have not found the same since. Anyway, stoned waffling over for now

Cheerio all

Cheers Hope, it twats me right off I tellya, it has to be time to stand up and start again - but through the whining the population of sheep has increased exponentially.
I see you are lurking with intent around the hydro world - good man!

Thanks @Bob's Auto's

So got some more snaps of the Predator - she is fatter than I first thought, and after semi serious consideration she will be the first to come down - she is a way ahead of her cousins.

Loverly jubberly

Such a good smoke too!

The final plans are being drawn up as to how to pull the Predator from the tent without causing too much traffic for the other two.

I still need to charge my microscope to take a closer look but using ‘eyes’ she looks pretty ripe, hard to tell who is drinking what but between the three of them including evaporation circa 15litrs every 24hrs.

She has stopped swelling, she is offering a very nice deep creamy, musky aroma with a touch of fruity fresh at the back. Unless my eyes are deceiving me she continues to find and add sugar, which is the only reason she is still alive. In theory looking at other diaries most predators are down by now - no worries either way, she has been force fed this time around and she likes It!

I would like to take thewhole pot out to take a snap of the plant without the other two photobombing every opportunity they have - that .

Oh why the devil not - the soil grown Predator, maybe only a month cure so far - took about an ounce out of the bag and heat sealed again.

Have a splendid day you lovely people

Absolute smasher m8.. you're a true hydro master.. look at those colas beautiful stuff.

Could I pick your massive hydro brain a bit? Lol

Did I see u had EC as high as 2.2 for these girls?? I've just started tootling about with EC this grow.. more for experimentation as an all time lazy, measure nothing soil grower.. I've got my eyes opened already as to how much the plants can take and how much I was most likely underfeeding them before.

I used to just go 'mls per litre' and would have been at 1ml per L now on day 21.. measuring EC this time I'm at 5.5ml in 3L.. so almost 2ml per L and not a burnt tip in sight. Surely this is a good thing and I keep on pushing EC slowly but surely?? Is that the idea if you want to use EC measurements to maximise your crop??

I also read a lot of stuff saying don't go beyond 1.8EC with autos yet you're way over that.. is hydro different that way or can they just take more than the mythical 1.8EC cut off??

Another popular one is 'EC doesn't matter in soil' but surely if you actually want to know how much 'feed' your plants are getting and want to push then as hard as u can feed wise then on the contrary.. its all important regardless of your medium??

Smoke on some of that month cured Predator and think about that lot lol

Any advice or comments always greatly appreciated m8
