First stealth grow! AutoAssassin from short stuff day 38 :)

Hi everyone!
This is my first grow. It is closet stealth. Has an inline fan with carbon filter. Currently using a 130W 2700K CFL for the bloom phase. On 20/4 lighting schedule and giving bloom nutes every few weeks. Also LSTing this one also, to make it fit in the small cupboard. I was also directing them around the light too. So in the middle its not as high as around the edges, so that the light can go lower in the middle without burning the plant but still giving more light. The day 38 photos show how there are 2 females in the same 15L pot as I can fit a lot more soil in the small cupboard by having one large pot rather than 2 small pots.
Any comments from anyone? I am looking forward to the cerebral high that the autoassassin is supposed to have. I also want to harvest a little early too so that I make sure that I get the full head hight that it can produce .
What proportion of thichomes should be clear and what proportion cloudy if I want a decent yield yet still want to get as much of a head high as I can without reducing potency too much????

Looks good. Alot better then my bagseed auto lol.

nice photos mate.

i would get as many of those trichomes as cloudy as you can - check out this thread from subcool - https://www.rollitup.org/subcools-old-school-organics/66405-amber-alert.html

I had one more plant out in a swamp also, here is a photo of it! I hadn't seen it for a few weeks... Its not going the best, looks like it hit some hard times with the yellow fan leaves, but recently has taken off again with new bud formation at the top! Also, is it stretched? maybe not getting enough light?
I don't have enough room in my grow room to take it inside so it has to stay there. I wasn't expecting to germinate three girls from 3 seeds! Not expecting to get too much bud off her but anything is a bonus

Also, sorry it is blurry, but I didn't want to stand around using my flash all night on my camera phone in case people came over to see what all the light was about!
You may also notice that the pot is half submreged in the swamp, was on dry land when I put it there but there was a lot of rain a few weeks ago and it hasn't drained out yet luckily as it is hot here in victoria at the moment!

that will prob be some dank though growing in the water like that it will get some great nutes as long as it doesnt stay like that for months

if you had never done this befor then it is not a bad job at all outside you are fighting multiple bogeys weather animals insects and varmints and last of all bumbling people to stumble across your plant so i say good show

nice one stealth

amazing that the plant has grown in those conditions - i guess they dont call it weed for nothing.

its going to be 35 degrees plus for the next few days so it will probably dry out a bit

Thats hilarious!!!! I love it! Reminds me of old school back in Seatown

Haha thanks guys, as I said before, this plant is just a bonus! I will recheck it in a few weeks around harvest time and post more pics then and we can see how it has turned out

Here are my ladies day 44 now. One of them seems to be maturing about 5 days ahead of the other one, she has many more brown pistils... I have to harvest them both at the same time so I am not sure what to do. Getting a x60 magnifier tomorrow and will check the trichomes then and see what they say. I wish they matured at the same rate!!!

I know the lighting is a bit different, but the one on the right has more orange pistils.

Tonight all the large fan leaves started to droop down a bit from where they are attached to the main stem. She looks normal otherwise. The soil is quite dry and its been a few days since I watered her so I just watered her now, hoping it helps! Is that perhaps the first sign of needing a water I hope????

Yes...by the afternoon she should be perked up again. I check my soil by sticking a finger a couple inches down to check for moisture. Also pick it up and see how heavy it feels. That is how i ultimate decide when it is time to water.

awesome pics stealth

you might need to water them a bit more towards the end of flowering as they will be sucking up a lot of water for those buds.

yeah, she is starting to suck up more water now! I am going to start flushing her now, first flush tonight!!!

Finally harvested on day 66, here are some photos from over the last 2 days The trichs are about 70% cloudy, 28% clear and 2% amber. The buds are nice and fat, looking forward to weighing in a week to see what weight it comes out to... Any guesses?

Have smoked some samples and it is a very cerebral high, lots of fun! It does start to have a hangover effect however approx 4-5 hours after smoking, start to get sleepy/stoned then. Will definately cure this bud to maximise its potential!

Looks good but it also looks like it could have gone another week+

Thanks! I am happy to sacrifice a bit of yield to have a slightly early harvest and a cerebral high (this is sativa dominant not indica).

Finally weighed the dried bud in at 37 grams total from by grow . Its very nice bud too, hits hard and very head high In the process of curing them now.

nice work stealth. just over an ounce plus a quarter.

are you just curing yours in a glass jar?

Thats awesome Geelong! Mine is 2 plants by the way, and I think one plant was about 25 grams and the other 12. Yeah it is in 2 glass Mason jars, with a hygrometer in one of them to keep an eye on the humidity. I think it is working but never did it before so anxious to see how it turns out!
