Noobs First Season

Discussion in 'Organic Grow Journals' started by fluidroots, May 8, 2015.

  1. I decided to start a journal for my first outdoor grow season. Actually my first grow of any kind. I'm a little late starting the journal, my first plant, an auto flower from flash seeds, is almost done. I've started to pop another couple AF's so I will update on their progress as things move along. Went with promix and worm castings, and I used the oregons only line of organic nutes and did the beginner feedings, on the light side. I popped this 1/29 or so and put it in promix on 2/1. Today is day 97 from day seed germinated, not the day it broke the surface. She started slow since its an outdoor grow. ImageUploadedByGrasscity Forum1431105433.526032.jpg

  3. I think she's getting close but have to get a scope or loop this weekend to check trichs.

    I also sprayed once a week with neem and at times a couple times a week if I thought I saw pests. I started to flush on Tuesday but I hadn't fed her anything but water in about 10 days prior to that. Hoping she finishes up soon! I forgot I top dressed with worm castings last week so she had a little something. Nothing from here on out tho.

  5. And I bring her inside every night after dark, but I think she is showing signs of reveg?? So I started to bring her in after 12 hours of light this week. I could be overthinking but it looked like some new veg growth near the top.

    Update. I have another AF germinated and put in promix/worm castings, another flash seeds auto, it's called Stitch's love potion. Gonna pop one more AF, flash seeds Jet 47. Also going to pop one regular. It's called rosa parks, from Loaf's Bakery. It's a cross between his amber rose and a Congo landrace I believe. Whatever it is it's dank, will hope for a female, but I have a dozen so there's backups.
    Since I have 12 I will prob pop 2 or 3 and should get a female. Crossing fingers anyway haha.

    The stitch's love potion broke the surface of soil over night, just barely poking thru with seed pod still attached. I don't think the lemon haze is going to pop. The beans were super small to begin with and a little light in color. I gave it a little squeeze to break the seal then put it back in wet paper towels overnight. Wondering if it will pop. I may put another one in to see if it will germinate. The jet 47, which is supposed to be an ak-47 auto, has just barely popped. It will go in soil later today. The jet 47 seeds are nice size and have nice tiger striping. Suppose to be a pretty heavy auto ak and I'm looking forward to seeing how she performs, since the white Sirius (in all the pics) has handled my inexperience very well.

    Oh ya, checked trichs on her last night. Half and half clear to cloudy, a random Amber or two here and there. Mostly looking like they're turning cloudy. This was suppose to be an 85 day auto but it was really cold the first month or so, maybe that delayed. I'm thinking now like 110 days, today is day 99.
     
  10. glad your subbed up for mine! im here for yours as well. whered you get seeds from? if its a stable auto it wont matter if u bring it in it will stay flowering. i got 5/6 stable seeds. im in day 44 in my grow and all are in full on flower except for one without a sign of a single bud and i ordered from DNA Genetics which is a reliable source. It's all in the pheno. The genetics are getting there considering in 2010 all autos were pretty much shit. I bet by 2020 every single auto seed will be a true auto seed. Since they are mixed with photos and ruderalis it all depends on which pheno the seed holds more of. Im waiting on pics to get to my email so i can upload my day 44 pics. Super excited.  
     
  11. I first heard about auto flowers a year or two ago and decided for my first grow attempt, and given the need for relative stealth and size control, autos would be perfect. I've known of DNa genetics here in cali for a while now and when I saw they had a 60 day lemon that was it!! In my research I came across a breeders name that was given credit for stabilizing the 60 day lemon for DNa, breeder stitch. In researching stitch, I saw he is the guy behind Flash seeds, their autos are at all the seed banks in UK and Canada etc. about that time I came across a guy repping him in the states in an attempt to get beans direct to the growers that were sketchy ordering from the seed banks in the UK. The guy hooked me up with a bunch of gear. My goal was the DNa 60 day lemon but I ended up with all these freebies so I'm just giving them a shot.

    As far as stability goes, I'm not real sure. This one shot up pretty fast and didn't show signs of flowering until about 45 days in and now she's going pretty good. She's at day 101 today. I would think she's getting close, trichs are starting to cloud up everywhere. It's suppose to be an 85 day finisher but I've read to disregard those numbers, they can vary a bit.
    I thought I noticed new veg growth in the tops of some of the buds. Little green leaves starting to protrude near the very tops. Made me think maybe it's a photoperiod since it took long to show pre flower. Since it's basically a patio plant I started bringing it in after about 12 hours of light as we are starting to get the 14 plus hours of light per day now. Probably over thinking but if it's a photo as opposed to an auto I didn't want to reverse it.

    did you order direct from DNA or via a site in the UK?? I couldn't get a direct with DNA in Cali and I also couldn't find a dispensary carrying any auto flower seeds in my area. Then I stumbled on the guy working with Flash Seeds trying to get a distribution going in the states, got a bunch of freebies, paid for a few, but would still like to find a source for good genetics without the customs hassle of trying to bring in via UK.

  14. I just read about a super stabilized blue dream auto from humboldt seeds. They're pushing it on IG now and I'm following a grower that just harvested a run. Looks really really good. I inquired about beans. Maybe I'll get a response. They're pushing it like there's beans available anyhow.

  16. yes i ordered direct from dna. there stealth shipping kind of sucks i paid 15 dollars for them to put them in a sock.. ridiculous. but they made it through chicago o hares airport customs which are notorious for seizing seeds so oh well
