r/SpeedrunSeeds

My second time growing an auto.

As soon as she sprouted there was a 96 hour power outage. I think she got stunted but I'm pleasantly surprised by how much she was able to catch back up. Seems like stretch is ending and this is her final size.

Curious to hear anyone's feedback or thoughts.

Smells like pine/gasoline initially with a lingering smell of artificial candy like airheads or nerds

Grown out from a tricot seedling!

My first time growing an auto. I grew photos for the first time last year and didn't like babysitting them from May to October and stressing about pm and bud rot for the months that it took to flower. This SBCH grew much larger in much less time.

I would've preferred to let it go for a little longer but I started to notice bud rot developing on a cola or two every couple days.

I'd love to hear any feedback, advice, or thoughts.

Grown in an earthbox with sunshine #4, amended with dr. earth tomato mix, worm castings, biochar, and bokashi bran.

Thank you to all those that let me know that they too had their tracking number expire and that I wasn't alone. I'm happy to report that SRS has issued me a new tracking number and I have gone to inform delivery and it shows that I have a package coming. Fingers crossed!

El choppo day 79 Slamunition, some of the frostiest dankest shit i have ever grown, literally smells like musky bubblegum candy, I never got any bubblegum from the citrus bubblegum I did so I'm really happy with this, took the yoyos off and she just flopped, 2 hangers full, I'll get as much from this one than I will both the p dawgs combined! 😁

Lots of extra seeds and things not ordered. Nice touch with note. I have a full tent to be harvested next month but will have difficult choice what Speedrun seed strains to run next.

Thanks Ben and hope feeling better.

Took this pic this morning. Today is week 11. I was concerned about the increasing yellowing on the leaves. AI said...
"At week 11, based on this photo, the yellowing looks much more like normal late-flower senescence than a problem that needs correcting.

What stands out:

• The older/lower fan leaves are yellowing heavily, while much of the bud foliage remains green/purple.
• Many leaves are naturally drying and fading as the plant finishes.
• The flowers themselves look quite mature and well developed.
• I don't see an obvious reason to try to force the plant back to dark green at this stage.

Given that you recently switched to water-only, I would not try to reverse the yellowing by adding a heavy nutrient dose now. At this stage, fading leaves aren't necessarily a sign that something is going wrong.

The one thing I'd watch closely is the dense interior of the larger buds. With this much mature flower and some dying foliage, inspect for any gray/brown areas, unusually soft tissue, or a musty smell—those would be more concerning than the yellow leaves.

So, in short: I wouldn't fight the yellowing. The plant looks like it's finishing rather than crashing."

Thoughts?

And to think I was worried that they were stunted now I’m freaking out because they’re way too big

Title

Germinating and recording content when suddenly I notice one of my seedlings is a tricotyly!! O_O

Meaning it popped out with THREE cotyledons instead of the normal two!!!

This one is slime machine im growing two again!

hey guys, so I spoke with Ben today and was able to catch him up on everything, including the posts about me lol. I’m honest about everything and don’t really have anything to hide, so let’s just get through this.

Ben gave me permission to update everyone on what’s going on because he doesn’t want to make a big public statement himself yet. He’s just trying to get back to normal.

Ben has Crohn’s disease and it can flare up pretty badly and unpredictably. This last episode was rough enough that he had to be taken to the hospital by ambulance a couple of times. He also has an intestinal blockage that still needs to be dealt with surgically, and right now he’s waiting on the doctor to figure out the next step.

The good news is he’s doing better at the moment because the medication he was prescribed is helping. I know more of the specifics, but honestly I feel weird just blurting out every detail of the dude’s medical history hahaha.

As far as orders go, around 90% are done and he dropped off a couple more today. So yes, things are moving.

He will eventually update everyone himself, either on Reddit or YouTube, but for a while he was in a really bad place mentally and physically. He wasn’t really in a position to make decisions, keep up with everything, or run around trying to explain himself. He was basically just trying to get through it.

I know it probably sucks hearing all of this from me instead of directly from Ben, but this is what I was able to get for everyone for now. I’m just trying to clear up the confusion until he’s ready to speak for himself.

Also, about the posts going around about me O_O it’s no secret that if Ben, Speedrun, or literally anyone does something I don’t agree with, I’m vocal about it. I don’t stay quiet just because I know someone.

I was pissed about this whole situation before too. Me and Ben have disagreed about things in the past and I’ve said that publicly.

The difference is that I eventually talked to him, learned more about what was actually happening in his life, and understood the situation better. I talked to him about all of this again today and me and him are good. There’s no secret beef or anything weird going on.

I deal with some health stuff myself, so once I understood what he was going through, I could sympathize with him a lot more.

Also just to clarify my role here I help Ben with Discord stuff, but I’m not really “in charge” of anything. I helped build his original Discord server and replacement server, set up the roles, and got everything working. Once Ben is ready to come in and take over, I’ll transfer ownership to him if that's what he wants.

A lot of people on Reddit have been twisting words around and turning everything into drama, and I really don’t appreciate that. Complaints are one thing. If you paid for something and you’re frustrated, I understand that completely.

But endlessly stirring shit up, twisting people’s words, or trolling just for drama is something else entirely.

Hopefully this clears up what’s actually going on, and hopefully nobody gets mad at me for speaking on it. I’m just trying to help until Ben is ready to do it himself.

btw as i was writing this the new discord server got flagged again and taken down ill try to appeal it but this keeps happening over and over along with all the posts here it makes it all look bad kinda disapointed in alot of you, honestly oh well...

btw why do i keep talking and helping speedrunseeds? because i have alot of friends who i met in this community, and i want to help that's why im being nosy, honestly

keep on growing O_O

If you grow autos and you're getting no terps or resin, then maybe you don't know how to manage your environment well enough to preserve volatile terpenes 🤷

I'm okay admitting there are growers WAY better than me. Look at Autopotamus 😂 Dude gets autos to express some absolutely ridiculous traits.

But that's kinda my point... if you suck at growing autos, you're never going to see what those genetics are actually capable of.

You can't grow an auto like shit and then blame the auto for being shit O_O

I just took a final look at my plants. Planning on chopping today or tomorrow. Is this powdery mildew? I didn't notice it yesterday.

If it is, can I still dry & smoke it?

What a roller coaster this ride has been. Packaging, stickers, and the personal touch really ties everything in. Super glad I can now add my Speedrun seeds to the random generator for my next grow here mid September.
