572W total draw with fans at 100% and 400W MH bulb running:


Vegetative stage (total 31 days from sprouting):
During the vegetative stage, I used the MH bulb with a schedule of 20/4.

Day 2 (I planted 8 seeds--2 bag seeds were used as a backup but were not needed so they got the chop when I transplanted to the 3 gal pots):


Day 18:


12/12 (in progress):
I switched the light to an HPS bulb and 12/12 schedule on August 31st (day 32 from soil) to induce flowering.

Day 32 (day 1 of 12/12) Canopy at ~14-16":


Dinafem Fruit Automatic on day 32 (began flowering on day 22):


DQ #1 on day 32:


Currently, all plants are showing pre flowers:


The only plant that looks to be male is one of my Dairy Queens so I'll probably be down to five plants within a week.

I'll keep this journal up to date and welcome comments, tips, criticism etc.

Thanks for stopping by.

Day 36 - Fruit Automatic

A couple of picture updates of the Fruit Automatic. This one looked a little deformed when it first sprouted but it's turning out nice so far:

If you're watching my journal (maybe one or two of you?), thanks for reading.

I am at the end of cycle racing season. With the end of the season, I am on my annual "off" month. I have started back at the gym up to the end of January. I am going to focus on that and may not be around as much. I'll try and update weekly. If you're reading this and you don't think I'm following your journal, please PM me with a link and I'll keep an eye on it...

Thanks again.

looking good so far man keep up the good work .. lookin forward to seeing more,

Day 51 Out of Soil / Day 8 Flowering

The plants all looked really thirsty when I opened the tent today. I think I need to up the watering schedule to keep up with them (for fear of over watering them, I think I may be under watering them )

Here's the canopy:



Here's SLH #1 from the top. I've supercropped it twice (dropped the top about 6" both times) this week:



This is SLH #2; this is how the buds look on all three SLHs and the DQ:



Here's the main kola on the Fruit Auto (less than two weeks left before harvest for this one):

Fruit Auto Top Half Harvest: Day 63 out of Soil / 41 Days of Flowering

I harvested the main kola of the Fruit Auto yesterday:





Pre trim:



Post first trim (will cut off some more leaves once they're drier):



The main kola is 1.45 oz wet (I haven't watered the Fruit Auto for 10 days so it's pretty dry already.)

I'd guess dry weight of the main kola will be about 1/3-1/2 oz as it's already quite dry.



Tonight I'll harvest the bottom half (pic below) and snap some pics of the SLH and DQ.

Day 64 / Day 21 Flowering

SLH #1's largest kola (about three more slightly smaller and then about four more smaller):



SLH #2 (fewest kolas on this one--about six--so I'm hoping she'll be quality):



DQ #2:



Canopy shot (note the hungry fan leaves... dialed back the nutes to 1x today (1020 ppm w/1 RO 0 ppm & 1 tsp ph+) because the tips are showing they have enough nutes now :smoke:



Baby nugs on SLH #1 -- so waxy:



DQ's tips show it doesn't need any more nutes than it's already receving :smoke::

Everything looks beautiful! The Fruit Auto you harvested looks like its gonna be some real dank smoke. Coincidentally I'm growing Critical+ Auto from Dinafem as well as Super Lemon Haze and I put 'em into flower about a week ago. Your Super Lemon Haze buds look nice and sticky and everything's gonna start to get real frosty

Final, dry weigh in:

SLH #1: 94g / 3.3 oz
SLH #2: 61g / 2.2 oz
SLH #3: 70g / 2.5 oz
DQ #2: 61g / 2.2 oz

Total : 286g or 10.2 oz

Here are a few pictures:

SLH 1, 2 & 3:
