Thanks John..

Here are a few shots of my lil ladies. These are the Roadrunners that I didnt know were AF's. Anyone have an idea what the few brown tips could be from?

K2: Great that your beans arrived. Knew they would. 10 years of ordering them. Never lost a pack to border services.

JM: Nice plant mate.. Wish i could grow them that big. My season is too short however. Autos it is for me.

Diana: Looking good so far. I think you have the beginings on a Mag def going on.

This is what an early mag def looks like.


Here is some reading for you..

Magnesium is mobile in the marijuana plant so if there is a deficiency, the chloroplasts in the middle-aged leaves that are below the flowering top are broken down and the magnesium is transported to the young parts. This process of breaking down the chlorophyll is manifested in the rust brown spots and/or vague, cloud-like chlorotic spots between the veins. It is more difficult to extract magnesium from the older leaves because the magnesium is an intrinsic part of the organic material. A minor magnesium deficiency has little effect on flowering despite the fact that the formation of flowers makes the magnesium deficiency symptoms worse.

Been a while since I've logged on, but great to see this thread still kicking ass. Great job FD and Mossy for such a successful thread. Just to update some of you that are familiar with my grow, my Sagamatha Star Ryder still hasn't started to flower yet and it's on day 32. I don't think it's going to flower unless I make it do so. The fan leaves are just freaking huge which is an indicator to me that this is NOT an AF. This really sucks too cause it's going to throw off my whole rotation big time, as I really have no where else to put that plant for 12 hours of dark. So now I am pretty much forced to finish out my current rotation on 20/4 and when they are done flower the ONE plant(Star Ryder) for the next 2 months at least, or I just pull it and chock it up as a loss. Any advice?

Well that sucks hitman. Sorry to hear that. I have 1 that is a non AF and I am just going to wait til my autos are done before I start her on 12/12. I wouldn't chop her down. (it would be very hard for me to do that) Are you possibly able to take her out of your grow area after she has recieved 12 hours of light each day? Maybe stick her in a box for 12?

Has any of you guys tried the Kanabia autos? I am thinking about trying out some Gnomo and maybe some Tia Fantasy with my next order.

I have been considering that, but the plant is already 2 feet tall including its pot, and if it grows three times its size in flower, that would put it at 5 feet including pot. I need a big box, lol.

i made a dark room with black plastic sheeting from lowes....two pieces inside eachother...mine is prolly 5x6x4

Hitman indis don't stretch too much in flower.

I'd try to save it too, ive puffed some BC HempStar that is really really nice. Might be a nice moma.
I was thinking of getting a pack of the starryders just to work them. If there is so much doubt about the strain's AF tendency i dunno if i can trust what's in it.. So i didn't bother.

This is the star i can get. Shitty trim on it though. Needed a better flush too. But nice stuff none the less.



Edit
Found a few more of the same batch.

Thanks for that idea on the black plastic drmarcus and also BH about my height concerns.

I am going to test them here in the new year. I am with you mate that Auto Thai sounds great. You could get that and the Auto power skunk, then you could remake some of the nice 12/12 strains with full auto lol.

The power skunk is really up my alley. I've had a hard time finding out where they got their PS used in the cross.

Sounds like that would be a match made in heaven BH.

I really like the option to mix and match seeds that http://www.castle-marijuana-seeds.com offers. You can order any single seed of any strain. I just haven't heard of anyone ordering from them and I don't think they offer freebies.

Looks like you got her down in time. Filled the truckbed up nicely.
You need a topper for that (ranger?) Black the windows out. I'd be sweating bullets going down the highway like that.. lol, you got a steel pair or what mate? lol

Was a strange year this summer for me, weather wise. I felt like a bloody storm chaser this year. Trying to beat the storms to the spot. In a place that sees little rain, weeks and weeks of rain and below av temps.. I couldn't even water them with nutes, the soil was so wet all year.
Here's to hoping for a better 2011 season.
