I don't think it'll be very long now. At least they are healthy. My wife just agreed that I would be better off with another closet to use for vegging and such. Looks like the old QB's are going to get some use.
I'm also starting to think that a tent would be useful. A damn site better than a shower stall,lol. If nothing else, a 2x2 to veg in. Autos are easy in that respect,cause you can have plants of all sizes under the same light.

Dude, you weren't kidding about Bodhi's gear. These things are flying along. The bigger ones are bushy as hell. The other 2 I stunted using almost straight Happy Frog. They ran outta steam till I topped them off with FFOF and worm castings. All the new leaves are dark green. I recharge(ed) them too and that helped. I have read that his Hashplant crosses are fire. I'm hoping for some strong flavors. The 1 thing about the autos I've ran is that they haven't been overwhelming on taste. Smell, yeah. Looks, I have grown some beautiful buds. Several have been really strong shit too. Especially the OG Kush and Chemdawg crosses. But, I haven't had much that had that funk taste. BBHP is supposed to have it. It's cool running completely different gear than before. The only fire photos I've grown came from bag seed. Never bought any.
I love BB hashplant, I think I’m going to have to get some again.
I don’t think I could grow autos again, I love my photos. I just pulled 53oz off one plant! That’s a new record for me indoors!

Take it and run with it my friend! Haha.. and don’t worry about the sexing, you will have plenty of time and it will be obvious when they show.

Sounds like a boy.. Are you keeping any pollen this grow?
I have definitely been considering keeping a male if it looks like a good pheno. I do have a couple autos flowering so if nothing else, I could make a fast flowering run. Seriously though, I have thought of making a bit of pollen to S1 a great pheno. Man, the only reason I've been running autos was the experiment part and then the fact that light leaks and such don't affect most of them. My wife is the worst to go turning lights on going looking for something in the grow room( extra bathroom) and interrupting the dark. I've already threatened her on these but you know how much good that does. A lost hair brush could ruin me. She has agreed that I need a tent. I think I've made room in the bedroom for a 2x4. Now I just need to find an affordable one. I already have lights. I just need the tent. Either that, or a new bathroom door lock with me the only key holder( now who thinks THAT will work?)Lol.

If this 1 supposed auto does flower when I flip, it's gonna be a beast. Damn thing has more budding sites than any 3 plants I've grown. If it still stretches up much I'm gonna have to do something. I figure if it does it's going to be a half pounder. But, I did stunt it being in the hospital,so who knows? I have been reading about autos that never get past the pistil stage. I got to try flipping it though. If there's a chance it works, that's a lot of weed to pass on. 2 weeks and I'm gonna flip so we shall see.

Any progress on the grow zone expansion CP? :D
Some photos from new room..
I removed everything from my space and scrubbed it with bleach water. I removed the wire grid I was using as a platform so that big plant gained a foot of headroom. I used the opportunity to even the tops out. 1 of the BBHP is apparently male so it's been moved to the side. I re-arranged the space to maximize efficiency. Fkn broke off a fat bud on the bigger auto. Fuck it, it's only about 2 weeks early. I'm decided on Flipping to 12/12 in 9 days. If the big girl stretches very much, I'm going to be tight on space again fast. I've got a bunch of folks hollering ,"Clone it! like it's something precious. I can see using it for practice but I have much better stuff to Clone now than this. I'm working the wife about a tent...

Yeah I’m with the “clone it” gang buddy, I clone everything nowadays.. you don’t know what you have until it’s done and it SUCKS to have a truly spectacular freak pheno disappear because you were to lazy to take a cutting. My best BB hashplant is gone because I thought..”all good, I have heaps more seeds” but none were close to as good as that first one. You can just solo cup and If they aren’t anything special you just trash them later.

Dude your rooms look terrific as always. I'd sure love to have that much space. I'd be doing pheno hunts and stuff like that. I should probably shift to a hydro set-up but ive done a bang-up job at times in soil. I've finally got where I can pull a run from start to finish with no deficiencies from underfeeding or burn from overfeeding. I've got some cool new photo strains to run. Some good medical strains.

Good luck with the stretch, expect them to grow a third in size again, you want to keep them smaller then get some silica and give them a foliar spray once a week for the first three weeks after you flip. Just make sure you dim the lights while the plants are wet.

Why mess with a good thing then? Nothing wrong with soil grows at all.. I’ve often thought about changing from hydro to soil.
And yep this run is a bit of a strain/pheno test.. got some promising plants here too.

I think I saw you had some GG4 on the go there too yeah? I’ll be watching that one.. been on my radar a while.

So far I've not gotten the GG to grow. 1 of 2 beans pops each time but they've refused to sprout up. It takes them over a week to pop. Then they just barely break soil. I've got 6 more so maybe.. Maybe a coco cube to start?... Regardless, I have been blessed with at least a dozen strains. Some of these are well known medical strains. I really need strong Indicas. I'm hoping to find some great phenotypes and start cloning. I'm buying some cloning gear next trip to the grow store.

Don’t be afraid to just take a cutting and bang it in the ground mate.. you would be surprised how often it works

Water only for the couple autos now. They only have a week or so left. I'll be glad for the room. Those photos are going to need it. It's working out according to plan actually cause autos will be done by the flip. This run went fast. I just planted them in solo cups may 10th.

Water only for the last week or so on those 2 autos. The Photos are growing fast. A week to flip and I think I'll at least end up with a few zips of BBHP as long as that 1 is female. The 2 little plants will struggle to be of any size by next week but that big x-plant is growing into a pain unless it does flower when flipped. I sure hope it does because this plant has beat the odds. Usually,after this long, I would have fkd this thing up either over or under feeding. I have done a decent job lollipopping the top branches but those bottom ones are full of off-shoots I haven't had the heart to just cull but you've given me impetus to try cloning some. So, there's a chance it would work without cloning jelly? I been meaning to buy some but I haven't been back by the store. I can put them under a QB in another spot since I'm about to flip while they veg.

Yeah there’s a chance, I use shooting gel normally, but a few times I’ve just banged one in a pot just for yucks and off they go.
