First Grow In 6 Years - Chemdog, Berry Ryder, Northern Lights

polo the don said:

They will stop vertical growth soon and that's as big as they will get. Except for the buds swelling, lol.

Looks like your just gonna have to stuff them in.

Here's an idea for the future, sell a half ounce of this crop and buy a bigger tent!

Lmao yep I'll give it a shot. Got plenty of seeds to keep me busy for a while so if they gotta go they gotta go...really wanted to try that pinaepple punch tho. Bout 40 days left on the BR's, 55-60ish on the NL's and no idea on the Chemdawg...The 2 new ones will be about the size of the current girls or bigger by the time I'm chopping some of those current ones so it's gonna be kind of a jungle lool. Bigger tent is officially on the shopping list.

Thanks ST. They definitely did fill in quick af. Not even a rookie like me could prevent these girls from blowin' up! How's the vegetable garden coming? Ours basically got taken out by golf ball sized hail last week :X Some stuff is still alive but the tomatos took a serious beating.

Damn that sucks bad about the garden. A storm like that came through last Sunday afternoon-evening when I was at cannabis cup.
Mine are coming along good except the fact I hadn't been home much and we've had no rain. I need to get the timer hooked up again out back for at least my 2 bigger gardens.
Been getting a shit ton of peppers and cucumbers. Tomatoe pants got way way to big and heavy. I gotta do something before the branches all break off lol.

Gonna have to water every 2 days now. They looked all Shitty and droopy again yesterday - watered n they perked up again. The low humidity plus the hps bulb are really drying out the medium quick ...well and they're getting bigger I guess lol.

Berry Ryder Day 33:

Northern Lights Day 30:

Chemdog Day 32:


Threw a pack of cigarettes in there for a size reference:

RezDawg X (newly planted Chemdog) sprouted this morning...peaked her head above the soil and I pulled off the seed casing and the little clear sack very gently and her leaves spread open

Pine Time (newly planted Pineapple Punch) has germinated but isn't quite above the soil. Gently dug around for her with a spoon to see if I should pull the pot out and she was coming to life so I guess we're back to 7 lol.

Starting to see crystals on the sugar leaves of the chemdog even though it has the least developed flowers so far. Thinking that might be a sign tht this strain is relatively potent. From what I read it's a hard hitter for an auto. We'll see soon enough

That northern lights in the back left corner is getting huge...I'd tie it down more but the stem is a little too thick now - might take it right out of the solo cup if I try to bend it lol. Moved it as far as I could from the light w/ hopes the others could somewhat catch up. I'm guessing it'll stay the tallest either way (especially w/ the mylar - no idea where the highest light concentration really is)...

Sorry about the image quality - I promise at the very least when they are ready to chop I'll get some decent photos

Good observation, keep an eye on them as they suck up that water/feed fast as they get into full flower, multi-strain grows are a bit tougher as some will drink more than others. Not a bad thing, it means they're healthy and using up what you feed them

You bring up a good point - I probably should be caring for them a little more individually rather than feeding n watering the diff strains the same. Never even occurred to me for some reason but the chemdog is always the first to droop down so it prob drinks more than the others

Pine Time stuck her sexy little head up thru the soil while I was at work. Tried to help get the seed shell off like I did with the others but it wasn't ready to come off yet. Hopefully I didn't Fuck her up trying lol...Gonna give it another day n then I'll bring out the big guns (pair of thumbtacks lool)

Glad to see that she has arrived. I still haven't germed my pineapple punch, AKA pine time, lol. I been lazy lately.

When I have a seed shell or seedcoat stuck, I keep it moist with a spay of water so it's soft and give it a day or two to do it on its own. I used to fuk with em till one time I took a whole coty off, now I give em a chance to do it their self and if that don't work I'll help. Don't let it stay more than a couple days though. And don't spray(foliar feed) These as much and see if they actually do better than the ones you kept spraying. Recognizing the difference will tell you what works best for you.

Bro your tip worked like instantly lmao. I literally sprayed pine time down, took all the girls out of the tent to water, got 2 done n looked at her n the shell was popped open haha. Here she is a couple hours later:

Thanks polo

The new fam:

Berry Ryder:

Northern Lights:

Chemdog:

Plz let me know if you see anything that stands out as a potential problem. I noticed the northern lights is getting heat stressed on top - New growth all spindly and twisted...she's too tall. Raised the light again but I don't want the other girls to be losing out cuz of that tall bitch lol..stem is wayy too thick to bend n tie down now :/

Watering is gonna be an everyday or every day n a half thing now. Got some thirsty ladies n a little too much perlite mixed in.

If the berry ryders a decent smoke I'll be running a tent full of them next year..developed so fast with tight internodes n a billion bud sites. I'd like to try out some other strains and get in a photo grow when I'm done playing with autos but if the berry ryders smoke good they'll definitely keep a place in my garden.

What I would do about the differing heights is adjust the light to suit the tallest one and I would put something under the shorter ones to raise them up to the needed height.

I like your family portrait.

I gotta get on this soon. Was thinking stacks of books but don't really want them getting wet n possibly creating a mold situation. Maybe wrap stacks of books in plastic bags lol?

DVD cases?
Anything that water can't hurt. Get creative stoner.

haha yeah can't be that hard to come up with things to stack under there. That starlight hash was making it a little more difficult than it should've been

The girls looked damn good this morning. I'm thinking they might have been slightly stunted when I let them get too dry that last time because after 2 good waterings in the past couple days they've really picked up and look 10x healthier. Might have been depriving them a bit but they'll get what they need now Last night I gave them a light dose of the 3-3-3 organic nutes cuz it looked like a few of them could still use a bit of nitrogen, heavier dose of silica blast (last one for these 5), more sensizym and another shot of root juice (also last time for these 5). Can't believe how fast they're drying out...gonna have to water very frequently until I get this heat situation worked out.

Evened out the canopy a little more. I should have LST'd / trained them more thoroughly to get more of those side branches competing for apical dominance, but it's too late now. The lower budsites are developing / maturing at a similar rate as the top ones so it's not a huge deal. Still aiming for 5oz


Noticed some of the top leaves look real shiny and almost 'oily'...dunno what that's about but I couldn't pull up any info on it in Google

I have no doubt that you WILL achieve your goal if 5oz. I would venture to say closer to 8oz is a more realistic amount. My best from autos was 13.83oz dry/cure from 3 sweet seeds cream mandarines. 3gal smart pots, soilless, technaflora RFS, 400watt 18/6 perfect environment. Keep In mind I have quite a bit of experience to make that happen.That yield is not typical from autos but I really pushed them, because I can.

So, what did you use to raise your pots closer to the light? Just curious.

Do you have a pic if these "oily" leaves you speak of? Maybe I can help, maybe they don't even need help. Maybe I just wanna see em. They are kinda like my nieces.

Nieces? Shit you've got 'joint' custody.
14.83 from 3 autos is impressive. Gonna be a while b4 I'm on that level.

So the oily look started when they started to look a lot healthier / perkier than ever. I'm hoping it's just them being healthy lol :

Might be nitrogen tox on that dark green oily look? Idk..

Used cardboard boxes to raise the shorter plants. Wrapped em in fireproof visqueen plastic n hit it with the staple gun a couple times lol..

The other wierd thing is that the pistols on the big BR are already turning Brown. Can't be near done already...no way. If it is then I'm not yielding shit lol!

Couple pics of the brown pistols:
