Always ph your water 😅 durban twist in the back is a couple weeks away from done, strawberry lemonauto on the left should be right behind it, and sourdelica is just getting started

Hey everyone, dont put 10 gal pots directly into self water bases. When they get too heavy, they will Crack and flood your shit with 30l of water 😅 lessons learned. Removed both scrog nets cleared out the plants, cleaned up, bought a few storage totes for bottom watering without plumbing to finish out before I switch back to smaller pots and new bases. Swipe to see the last 24 hours.

And the yellowing is from ph lockout. New growth has been green since correcting about a week to week and a half ago

Coming back from ph lockout which is most apparent with the yellow durban twist in the back left that is pushing out new green leaves again thankfully. Sourdelica (back right) decided to finally stretch and is now the tallest plant of the batch when I had already accepted it as a runt, and the tent smells like a fruit cocktail. Note for the future- spider farmer self watering bases cannot handle the weight of these bad boys. Minor flooding and lessons learned every run

Thought this was pretty cool! Lots of other 9 finger leaves as well! Can't wait for her to start putting on some mass

Ive been enjoying comparing same plant age pictures between my first and second run to see the improvements made lately! Lots of lessons learned, and still plenty more to correct next run

Durban twist by twenty20 was the first to flower, the other girls are stretching and not far behind. Space is limited, but new leaf growth seems to be slowing down and defoliation is actually doing something for more than 12 hours now lol. Sourdelica in tbe top right is slowest to the jump but making good progress as well

These are the most resilient and fast growing plants ive ever grown. The sourdeloca in the back right is not small, but durban twist and strawberry lemonauto are fiercely outpacing it in growth. Side note- thank god I picked up a 5x5 for future runs. Its getting a bit full in here

And they dont stress as easy as everyone wants to pretend they do. Get your environment dialed in- if an auto grows like shit, so will your photo. The seed doesnt matter, the grower and environment does.

Please train your autos and dont let anyone scare you into not doing so. This is about 5.5 days difference with supercropping day 1, then retucking(lst) and defoliation every other day since.

Its really time we stop pretending these arent weeds and havent been breed over decades to be hardy. As far as potency goes..... show me the science. Show me the tests. Genuinely, im not being argumentative. I have seen no one making these claims show me anything to substantiate it other than opinion. Im open to grow in knowledge as long as you come with the facts.

(I grow photos and autos, just tired of the parroted auto hate from people with no experience or risk taking ability)

Tucked the branches one more time today and did some pretty decent defoliation for airflow since things are getting crowded in spots and the undercanopy was getting ugly. This is the last time ill mess with the lower canopy, when the plant really starts stretch I will add a second net for more traditional scrog

The showstopper here is the twenty20 durban twist in the back left corner that almost certainly could have filled this 3x3 on its own. Also have sourdelica by NO in the back right and strawberry lemonauto front and center. This is 5 days post supercrop

Sourdelica in tbe back right is taking the cake on uniformity and ease of supercropping, even if the size is a bit more compact than the other 2

And now we are cooking with gas, boys 😎

All of my Autos and earlies got inventoried today. I have a small photo collection as well, and will be the only thing I add to going forward unless something crazy drops. Just upgraded to a 5x5 from a 3x3 for next run, so hoping to put a decent dent in these over the next couple years

So thats exactly what I did

Supercropped the autos today now that theyve showed sex and are confirmed females- following a lower stress 420autoflower method. Obviously room for improvement, but we will see how the girls bounce back over the next week. Wish me luck

Oddly enough, sourdelica in the right corner is the runt of the litter.

Day 20 for all. In order of left to right- durban twist by twenty20, strawberry lemonauto by twenty20, sourdelica by nightowl

Sex organs should be showing in the next week, I will be doing heavy lst and moderate defoliation at the start of preflower as a lower stress version of the 420autoflower method. Wish me luck on space and the branch tetris 😅

On a side note, I just picked up a 5x5 tent today to set up for next run for what will likely be a fast photo run with nightowl and Ace, but I may go autos one more time with auto zam and a few others. We will see

Strawberry lemonauto is taking the cake for growth, which is wild considering the landrace genetics behind the other two, but we will see how things go when we hit stretch! Here in another week to week and a half I will likely start heavy training with the trellis net and evening out all the canopies the best I can (im a tad worried about space, so we will see how flat i can actually get these girls)

I finally got my hands on zam auto off the most recent Ace restock, as well as a ton of earlies off the most recent drop

This will be running next to the most recent nightowl drop

Always learn from your mistakes, take notes, and knock the next one out of the park. Progress, not perfection. I still yielded 100g/plant off the first severely stunted run, so lets see what these girls can manage now that we are doing it again, but better 🫡

Heavy gas with a hint of sweetness, hits like a mac truck. First nug pulled out after it finished the craft cycle in the vcure yesterday. Could I have let it go a bit longer? Possibly. Am I happy with the end result? Absolutely 🫡
