Watup RIU!
I was thinking about doing my grow journal updates via video with a couple photos from here on. Was unable to find out how to upload on her unless through google or youtube sites. oh well:roll:
Anyways, orignally i wasnt going to update until harvest, I've decided to throw a few in here for size comparison. In my opinion, her colas are very thick and huge! I say "opinion" because, i havent grown these 4-5 foot monsters, that i see on here through various threads.... YET!
The hairs in contrast with the crystlas are just amazing. Im debating whether or not after today's feeding to give her a good flush in a day or two and water from there on.

Please give me plenty of feedback, what do you think? What about her size, considering the circumstances? I put a medicine bottle in the pic so you have something to compare to.
enjoy:blsmoke:

thanks ill be using a similar setup + nutes hope to get results like urs
haha thanks man,welcome and appreciate the props!:mrgreen:
I c my task is dne, main purpose was to provide insight on the pc grows for auto's. Before starting this project i researched for days on youtube and forumns for good pc grows but all were either bootleg, very small cases or the journals weren't updated.

Definately worth the stealth, didn't require much up keep, if any besides water and tie down for LST. Even if you plan to go with DIY, with good training you should have an exceptional personal stash and maybe then some to make your money back. bongsmilie

After doing some research at the local book store and some further observation of my girl I've decide to chop her down today. :bigjoint:

Her pistil's orange to white percentage is about >75%... clear/cloudy/amber ratio is about 5/85/15, also I noticed a purplish hue developing on the buds.
wish me luck with the drying/curing process

Anybody got a link or advice how to build a light trap? :?:
doesnt have to be the most advanced design just something that will work...

A:
this might be too simple of an idea 4 u but could you not just take some ducting (foot long or so) and tape it or staple it to the exit and let it hang down at 90 degrees. if you stuff a couple used dryer sheets in it i dont think too much light would escape?
like i said its really simple

indeed a long enough duct with some grill over the end should be enough, you dont want light getting in/out if it can get out, it can get in

Sorry for the delay i feel asleep after I finished manicuring her. I was quite amazed with the harvest I ended up getting from this plant, dont have a full pic of all the buds figured I'd wait until thie first stage of drying is done before i update with a harvest weight, etc. IMO, ther's no point for pre-dry weight, considering it will lose >75% of its wieght during the drying. I hope i did the trim job well, god there were so many trichomes and hairs.

Any suggestions on what I should do with the trichome covered clippings? I have about a sandwich bag full of them, is this enough to do anyting with or should i just store it away? currently they are frozen. Im thinking its a draw between hash oil, or regular hash? any other suggestions

SN: @NBG, and he speaks!!! good to hear from you brah, thanx idk why i dint think of that, will install it for next round.
@ Jagle, what's the screen for? is it to block particles or for the light block? either way, thanx for the input. If you ever start a grow journal, def gauranteed to subcribe. To answer your question below this..

My next project will be Auto Feminised Afghan Ryder from world of seeds and the link will be provided along with the smoke report after their cure next month. I wll update this one more time before the smoke report so ya'll can see the total harvest and quality as to have a comparison or rubric for what to expect if you plan on doing a CFL PC grow, any question about THIS grow I will be happy to answer on here or through private message. As for everyone else thank you for showing some interest and sticking through it all.

Take care and smoke good

thanks man, just for clarification, bho= butane honey oil?
Ye, her color is really starting to become more peculiar as she dries, with a few purple buds as well. As for her taste, thats what im most anxious about. All the reviews that i get on this strain is mainly on the flavor. UGH, well only about a week left on the SLOW-drying then another 3-4 weeks of cure. Do you reccomend me just waitng through the cure or will I still get the great taste and quality if i smoke a few buds after a couple days in the jar?

Nah bro! no appologies, I love questions. Well to be exact from the day I put the seeds into water over night until harvest was 52 days. Now, of course I could've left her longer if I wanted to, but I know what type of high I'm aiming towards, more for THC rather CBD,CBN I believe those are the right abbreviations , excuse me if i typed em wrong. Plus she was maturing quite fast with sex showing wihtin 10-16 days I believe.

ya ya you can always leave em go longer, and 52 days from seeds to harvest aint bad at all, gonna have to consider some of these for next spring, you know how you can put early finishing plants ourdoors early and harvest from winter - summer

Ye you should consider these girls, you could end up with some purple buds, I noticed more are showing up as she dries. Of course I just could've lucked out and was able to pick that particular pheno up from the blueberry gene or because my temps were so low. eh, who knows.
The website says plant outdoors may-oct. Also I would say with the right conditions this girl couldve been HUGE. Maybe im going too far by stating that without evidence, and taking in to consideration they were crossed with a lowryder, but i would think so. Im a little confused, were you asking me a question about the auto's outdoors or was it rhetorical?

I'm waiting for the smoke report. Kudos bro!. She's awesome.
I will def update with a full- detailed report, pictures included; you can count on it brah.
IMO there's not nearly enough info on this strain, it's such a fast grower and it's high resistence to pest infest and nute def's have to be pointed out. I can't believe the price they sale for now! I went on there the other day and it was liek 31GBP=$49usd def a good deal.

Next update will be bud shots and smoke report of the final product, should be in about 10-13 days, but we all knoe how i've been with time so far, lol. Well seems like so far I've over shot the time frames,bud has reached desired dryness in 4 days to start jaring. As promised here are the pix of the total harvest (22 grams moist)
Physical Description: Buds are VERY STICKY and are drying evenly. The colors (green, purple, orange, white) are coming in veyr defined.
Smell: Very Potent, frutiy aroma. With a hint of sour/tangy smell begining too build up, not modly sour, but similar to what I smell when I recieve so-called "sour diesel"; that smell you get when first open the ziploc and stic your nose in it..
Drying Conditions: 70-72 F with the small fans left on for circulation 24 hours a day.

I've done a little experiment; in one jar I put about a 1/4oz weight worth of bud compressed, If wondering how I did this procedure, just ask and I will be glad to explain. Then in another jar I put about 1/2oz worth of regular untouched bud. Take into consideration this is before jaring and burping, I just figured I'd give a rough estimate for any curiosity. If all goes well with the compressed bud i will rehydrate the untouched bud once done with the "burp" stage and repeat the steps i did for the first batch.

I did the compressed bud because I've read that the bud "presentation" is much better once compressed rather than fluffy buds. We all know that a CFL grow of this magnitude is not gonna produce the most dense buds in the world but IMO i'm very pleased with the yield. Now to wait fro the smoke.


Pix are labeled for convenience enjoy:leaf:
SN:don't forget about that "like" button and them reps if ya'll feeling what im doing here.

As for the BHO that i made this morning... It was amazing, I got a good amounts worth and put it into a blunt, me n 2 others were couch-locked for 3 1/2 hrs str8, that stuff was amazing. The instant rush once i hit the blunt was str8 to the head. The experience reminded me of when i first used to smoke. The taste was great as well, idk what ppl complain about using pvc and balh blah blah. All around very pleased, will be doing more in the future cheap and easy to do/ not to mention very effective.
