Well so far I am impressed, will make further judgement after I harvest the other two Autos.

Harvested the last Auto today at day 77, I give you BCN Critical XXL.
Can see the clones at the lower left, holding them for friends to pick up.
This Critical harvested on 11/7 is hanging in the garage at between 55 and 75% humidity, so it should dry at the right pace.
The Gelato Auto harvested on 11/5 dried way too fast, humidity was around 20%, normal is 70 plus %. From hanging to jars 5 days and curing.
Going by the wet weight of the three plants I expect this last one harvested will give me the best yield. Expect both XXL's to outweigh the Gelato by at least a couple of zips.

The two Critical XXL are both harvested and drying. When I harvested the Gelato my humidity was like 15%, not at all normal for my part of the planet. The Critical are hanging in the shop in 74% humidity one from last Tuesday, has been place in the plastic bag twice to draw moisture out of the lady and she is now hanging in the garage, hoped to trim her up today but going to need another day or so. The second Critical is in the plastic bag for the first time and will be removed tomorrow and rehung for further drying.
The Gelato went in to curing jars after just 5 drying days, these two Critical are drying on day 7 and 4 respectively.
Now that the Auto's are complete I can concentrate on the Cookies and Cream regulars, all 5 are females, put them under 12/12 for about 5 days and they showed their sex.
Have spread them all, trimmed and about ready to put into flower, sometime soon as soon as they recover from the trim.

First one trimmed and spread on 11/9
Trimmed and spread on 11/10, respread today.

Everything in jars, the Gelato is ready to smoke and the two Critical are in the curing mode.
First to be harvested was the Gelato. Just over three zips.
Second one was the Critical XXL #1, three zips and 18 grams.
Last one harvested was the Critical XXL, 4 grams over 6 zips.
The Critical XXL #2 closeup.
So all in all the total for this Auto grow 13 zips, can live with that. If the quality of the two Critical XLL's are close to the Gelato then I will be a happy camper. I have smoke one joint of the Gelato and it is a keeper.
Now to concentrate on the 5 Cookies and Cream, all females that I just put into flower yesterday.

Today the plants were pulled from the tent and retied down. They are in full stretch mode, 8 inches since the start of 12/12, 11 days ago. Most of the stretch has occurred in the past 5 days.
Here it was the last time I tied it down on day 4 of 12/12.
Then two days later on day 6
Day 8
And today, after tie down, day 11
I also raised the lamp about 6 inches to 26 inches and increased the intensity to 9 from 8.

Day 21 of 12/12
21st day of flower so time to do the major trim. Try to take everything with an inch or more stem, unless I feel that the leaf needs to stay for plant health reasons.
Pre trim
Post trim top view.
Post trim side view.
Top view full tent.

Couple of the buds.
I am sure I will hear from the anti defoliation folks, but I have been doing this same thing for many years and love my yields.

Today is the first day I have felt like doing anything. Think I am on the up side.
Knew I didn't have Covid as I never lost taste or smell.
Anyway here a few from today.
Everything is going along nicely. I am still using the low dose multi cycle feeding method. 21 gallon rez last around 5 to 6 days at 5 irrigation cycles/12 hr. light cycle, 1st and last are at 65 seconds, providing some runoff for the 1st cycle, and a good runoff for the last cycle. The three cycles in the middle are at 50 second, minimal runoff but not extreme. After 6 days I have about 2.5 to 3 gallon total runoff.
Every time the tent is opened I look to move/retie/rearrange the ladies to get the best light. I really wished I had put a screen on this grow, it sets up perfect for a SCrog, but alas I was in a big hurry to get this grow into flower and done.
I am please the way they are recovering from the 21st day trim, growth has not missed a beat, they are thickening and I just start adding Liquid KoolBloom to the mix at lite rates.
I can see there is some more lower growth I need to remove, will do so in the next few days, out of energy today.

Day 36 12/12 Christmas Day Pics
Merry Christmas everyone
Here we are at day 36, plants have completed their stretch and starting to bulk. Five irrigation cycles, one and 5 are at 1:05 minutes and the other three are 0:50 seconds. Just stepped up the KoolBloom to 10 ml/gal, backed off the Canna A to two ml/gal, increased the Canna B to 5 ml/gal. I set the pH at the start of the Irrigation cycle @ around 5.8 and let that float over the 5 cycles to between 6.0 and 6.05, this seems to work the best for my grow.
The HLG Scorpion Diablo is running full boar, temps are 80 to 83 lights on, 68 to 70 lights off, and humidity's range is 55 to 70. This coming Friday will be day 42 and will do the final trim, only removing fans at block bud sites after that.
