Hutch Grows Autoflowers In ProMix HP

[Carcass]

And you're just gettin' started...the next run will be even better...and the next...and the next...etc.
Love the colors on that bud!

 

[Canuckush]

Looking good, deal me in, I want to do a NL auto next so this is good!

 

[HutchBenedict]

Welcome Canuckush! It's a little slow in here at the moment as my two Lamb's Breath don't do much at this stage. Counting down to harvest day. The topped plant is now 90 days old after 50 days in veg. It is still mostly cloudy with no amber.

Ok, I also got my seeds from CKS and have heard about the genetics issue but that's above my head, learn as we go!

Lamb's Breath (not topped) Day 78, starting week 6 of flower
Mostly white pistols though the trichomes look 80% cloudy to my inexperienced eye. CKS says 7-9 weeks of flower which looks about right to me, at least 9 weeks. Today was feed day so she got 4ml/gn ProTekt, 7.5ml/gn FloraBloom and 2ml/gn Sensi CalMag Xtra.

This is the first time I've used ProTekt and probably gave her a bit too much but we'll see, I guess. It really, really cranks up the ph! Got it down to 6.4 with vinegar. Decided not to give her any FloraMicro or FloraGrow to avoid nitrogen toxicity which plagued me in my Amnesia grow in the later stages. The bloom nutes are 0-5-4 which I
have been giving her every watering the last few weeks.

Without further ado...

Looks fantastic, be careful adding extras. The DynaGro Bloom and Protekt should be enough.

Thank you! I'll try to be careful.

White Widow Auto Day 60, starting 4th week of flower.
She has responded well to topping and LST and has shown no signs of deficiency or stress. Lately her leaves have been yellowing and it's too soon for old age so I'm guessing calmag deficiency. Her upper leaves are quite green so I'm a little worried about nitrogen but she needs to have some food! I watered her with 2.5ml/gn ProTekt, 7.5ml/gn FloraBloom (0-5-4), 2.5ml/gn FloraGrow (2-1-6) and 3ml CalMag (4-0-0). The Flora chemicals are at 50% recommended.

Is the yellowing new?

 

[HutchBenedict]

Is the yellowing new?

Yellowing is fairly new, I've been removing the odd yellow leaf for weeks but lately there seem to be a lot more. I have been running really light on feeding this time. She has never had calmag and very little of the Flora series other than Bloom.

She's looking good,Hutch,what a difference topping and LST make!
You might want to leave the yellowing leaves on there till she's done with them...
If she's getting something from them and you remove them,she'll start on other ones,
which could make the problem seem worse than it is...just a suggestion...
She does look like she's needing a little something,hopefully someone with more "nute knowledge"
than I have will know what it is. Something the flowering nutes aren't giving her enough of.

Thank you! Yeah, she needs something. Hoping what I gave her today makes a difference.

Thank you Alice, thought I'd give it a try.

 

[Pennywise]

Give her a small dose of veg nutes.

Will do, thanks!

Today's the big day! As soon as my wife gets back from her errands we are going to crack open the Amnesia Haze after two weeks curing. The only taste we've had so far was our little green sample on April 20. Smoke report to come...

 

[Carcass]

Enjoy ! That's what this whole thing is about...enjoying your own homemade cannabis

 

[AliceGG]

I hope you both like the taste.

 

[HutchBenedict]

Ok, here's my thoughts after smoking Seedsman Amnesia Haze Auto after two weeks curing. Very clear headed, effects almost entirely cerebral. Nice energy, not speedy, actually kind of relaxing in that there was no residual paranoia or anxiety (I felt more anxiety before smoking concerned about disappointment, lol). Perfect smoke to start the day. The high was not long lasting, maybe an hour, but there were no aftereffects to speak of. I would guess the THC to be in the 14% area as it was not intense. Not sure yet about the medical effects. In particular I need a fairly strong sativa to calm my legs in the evening and for sleep so we'll see tonight. Otherwise, the psychological effects are as implied above, uplifting energy, mental clarity, anxiety relief.

All in all I'm quite happy with it. I'm pretty sure if I had let the plant mature another couple of weeks the effects would have been better but I have no complaints at all.
