Howdy All and Happy belated New Years. This is more of a simple picture and video diary then a grow journal. I find pictures speak a thousand words and with a video. A 4 or 5 minute walk thru the grow video saves me 45 minutes in typing. And you can see what I am talking about ...
I love the speed at which Autos complete in but I think they have a lower grade smoke to them. Not talking potency or flavors but lack the smoothness of their full photo feminized cousins. Just my opinion, it is like the rudurillis may add a tabocco aspect to them. As if they have a blunt taste hiding in them.
Nothing negative but a difference in the two. But 85 days compared to 115 to 125 ++ with 100% sativas. I can live with it!! We have nine plants mostly Fast Buds & a Dutch Passion by way of Herbies. The are 1/2 way around the world but I started getting seeds from them in 2012. And have never had any issues with them. The site that are here in the states all sell 10 or more seeds to a package. Herbie lets you get as low as 1 seed to 20.
It helps being I like varity but only have so much room and time also. So till I can get more space or just do another grow as soon as the first finishes. Realisticlly all sativas will go 140 days give or take. Were as 2 complete Auto grows back to back will be 160 to 175 days ......
and again I am buying good seeds. So it will get you high but the taste and varities are the focus.
Would like the time and space to one day cross pollinate and " make " my own strains. BUT what a few friends have been doing for awhile now is just mixing dry flowers together to create a pick your mood kind of smoke. Just mixing 1 or 2 crushed grams of 2 or 3 different flowers. To find some wild combonations of tastes and effects.
It is in real time also, you don't have to wait 125 days to see the results. With 9 different Autos you have a large number of flavor profiles and highs to play with. It is sort of like fast aging alcohol with toasted or charred wood chips. Instead of in a whole wood barrel. What takes years in the barrel they can mimic in hours or weeks. With the wood chips and lumps because of the extra surface area they can expose it to.
But the video attached says a bit more about the plants and grow. They let you use Vimeo or Youtube links to share videos. With Vimeo they give you so many mega-bytes per@week for free. So I can share 1 video a week and pictures for anything else. Saves on typing ..........
Medium is 45% coco, 45% plain Jane top soil. I get a suite case size compressed coco block and a 25 pound bag of top soil you would use in a outdoor flower bed. The other 10% is perlite and charcoal nuggets that they sell for air plants and orchids. Not the BBQ stuff ....
I fold in the medium from the last grow and I also started saving all the leaves from every plant. As I pinch and tend to them and just keep throwing them into a bucket to dry out. You can get a 5 gallon bucket of shake really quick. But each leave you throw into it has or is full of the nuits you have been feeding it. Folding this into the medium helps to making it lite and spongie. Then you are also feeding them the nuits that got stuck in the leaves when they got plucked or fell off.
Using Fox Farm trio feed for soil, they are liquid and cheated already. Don't know if they are broke down even further for the plant to uptake. This might make them a bit easier for the new plants to absorb ...... thats my take on it. And I just could see just throwing them in the trash. It was like pouring nuit's down the drain. And it makes you feel a little eco -friendly.
Thats it for know and more to come ....... with the Autos it will happen a lot faster so maybe I can finish one of these things. Thanks for stopping by !!
Peace and keep'em GREEN
