I wan' it in the blue/grey pheno like the one on the left..
This is a nice tone here. I really like the look of that color.
Is this the same blue/grey that is in the JEM?

FullD..wider than me hand..20 coms 8 inches across..on an AF...
that is a DC signature..
Yeah thats kinda hard to miss really. Thats the biggest fan i have even seen on an auto. And from what i know about the DC and what i have seen on the DC doms you have grown is that signature trait. MASSIVE fan leaves. More and more lookie like every germ eh? Im waiting to see one come out in that frosted pheno :weed::weed:

Oh and the hats are cute by the way nice touch of holiday cheer

the differences show more every hour it seems!
I agree i have seen my do leaps and bounds over a days growth period.
My took a rest for the night i do believe, it got expectingly cold last night
and i wasnt ready for it. Everything is ok though :)

Well, there's a ton of great info in this thread... I understand it is long... but def should read it through and through.. lot of collective knowl;edge..
Thank you sir, for pointing him the right way, living up to the badge :)

BUT you are right there is tons of info in here if you want it bad enough you WILL read it. Its human nature, just weeds out the serious ones from the ones who are not. Come to think about it that may be what keeps the trolls out.

Hey Fulld as someone asked acouple of pgs back about your cup/pot method. Could you throw up another pic and do explain, as very interesting method you have there my friend...
 
XxK2, it's incredibly simple. When it's time to transplant just cut the bottom out of the cup and put it in the pot.

You don't want to stress an AF plants root bundle at all during transplanting, and this eliminates that. It also gives the roots a bit more room before they bottom out in the container which we believe triggers flowering in an AF.

Here is some pics of my gals. There is a few that I would like some feedback on, they'll be obvious I'm sure.

View attachment 1291499 Easy Ryder (AK47 x Low Ryder #2) Day 48 only gave a lite flowering nute once(1/3 strength) at day 40 and she did not like it. Just sticking with water @ 6.6 from here on out. I'm really struggling with the feeding process as when ever I do it, no matter how weak I make the solution, it seems to not go well.

View attachment 1291500View attachment 1291501View attachment 1291502View attachment 1291503 Dinafem Roadrunner (freebie)- Day 52 showing some yellowing but since it's so uniform and not splotchy I have a feeling she's just feeding on herself. This is the only plant that I've given food to that actually like it and didn't seem to burn. She started really slow, I was actually one day away from pulling her when I noticed that she had perked up a bit. I'm glad I saved her as she is really pretty and I think is more of a Sativa dominant because of the way the leaves are few and lanky. If thats true I would love some confirmation on that. For my learning purposes.
View attachment 1291508View attachment 1291509View attachment 1291510 White Dwarf- Day 59 I almost lost this plant but was able to save it with FD's advice about Epsom Salt and water mix. I've started flushing her yesterday and will prolly cut her with in a week. I'm hoping to pull an ounce but not getting my hopes up to high. In my next pic you'll see the difference in the size of the pot and what that does to the size of the plant. Same strain but plant is going to be a lot bigger.
View attachment 1291518View attachment 1291520View attachment 1291521 White Dwarf Day 34. This plant started out fantastic but in the last 10 days she's been starting to yellow, and I'm a bit concerned. She's been getting 6.6 water exclusively. I gave her a light dose of nutes 4 days ago and it seems to have slowed, but I'm still nervous about the health of this plant. Any insight would be great. Sorry for the blurry pics, I can post clearer ones if need be.

View attachment 1291531View attachment 1291532 White Dwarf- Day 14 very small pot I know, so she'll just be my little candy stripper. She's healthy though. From paper towel right to FFOF soil.
View attachment 1291533View attachment 1291534 Sagamatha Star Ryder- Day 12 Seems to be doing well. We've all heard the horror stories about these not auto-flowering, but I remain optimistic. She went right from paper towel to FFOF soil. She's in a big pot so she should grow pretty big.

And finally a group shot of the girls in their environment. Humidity levels seem perfect and the temps are right at 80 degrees F at the tops of the plant and 74 at the base of the pots.

View attachment 1291537View attachment 1291538View attachment 1291539 Crude setup to ventilate air. I have to keep the door open but it works decent. I wish I could keep dust and random shit (cat hair) from sticking to my plants though. I find myself inspecting the plants and picking off fuzz and shit all the time. lol
Hey Hitman, They sell a temporary screen for doorways. It comes with an an adjustable rod that holds the screen at the top and velcro on both sides (so you dont have to take it down every time you enter the room) I used one last summer to keep the flies out of my garage. I paid like 10 bucks for it at a local store that I don't care to mention. They probably don't carry them this time of year but I am sure you can find one online.

GJon, those are looking very uniform mate. Cheers.
You'll like the mazars, they are essentially purplejems. Just a different brand name on them. Some nice skunky phenos.

Common FullD I wanna know........ now.............. :D

just joking bro ;)
LoL your a nut

Its been a busy day here guys.
Things got a little hectic in my neck of the woods.
Temps dropped heavily as i mentioned before
I was running 80's in the day and 75 at night
to a heavy swing from 80 down to about 60
They had a small stop today and i got the temps regulated
was not expecting that at all

k2 ........
On the cup planter. This was an idea that i have seen growers uses before
they would plant to a cup and then once time to transplant they would
use a 'raised' method. The root mass would be placed above the highest point in the next pots soil. The roots that touched the out side would be come hardened
allowing a deeper path for the tap roots.

My soil is light and wont hold together. So i use the cup to hold them for me
with the end of the cup removed and transplanted way before it had time to reach the bottom of the cup. the only time that it has been is at the end of the grow.
The roots have completely consumed the space but this is due to my o2 and water feeding.

It happens, happened to me too.
No rain just a real quick shift to cold
they weren't quite ready for it, but they should be fine
Got a heater now to keep it at 75 all the time.
