Thinking 4 out of the 5 regulars are females, the 5th has not shown any sex yet.
The four that have shown sex are just one or two seed pods with just a few pistils with stigmas showing.

Gelato Auto
Chopped on Friday, hung to dry. Sorry pic not the best. Two days and I have had to put them in a bag for 24 hrs to draw out the moisture, humidity low and drying way too fast. Will be going into jars probably on Tues. to begin cure.
Should chop the two Critical XXL Auto's within the next 10 days.
#1
As you can see I had a bit of pH/Cal/Mag issues with this one Critical XXL.
#2
Did very little defo on these Auto's, and minute amount of under carriage removal.

Not too bad, 80 grams on that one plant dried and in jars. Will lose another 5 to 10 grams during cure but that will work.

Here the jars are being "Burped" for the first time!
Jars on the left are 28 grams each and the one on the right is 24 grams/
Samples from each jars.
Have not tried any yet, going to wait for a little bit more cure, but they look great and the fragrance is Devine!
Going to harvest one of the Critical XXL's today and one on Friday or Saturday.

Harvested the last Auto today at day 77, I give you BCN Critical XXL.
Can see the clones at the lower left, holding them for friends to pick up.
This Critical was harvested on 11/7.
The Gelato Auto harvested on 11/5 dried way too fast, humidity was around 20%, normal is 70 plus %. From hanging to jars 5 days and curing.
This Critical harvested on 11/7 is hanging in the garage at between 55 and 75% humidity, so it should dry at the right pace.
Going by the wet weight of the three plants I expect this last one harvested will give me the best yield. Expect both XXL's to outweigh the Gelato by at least a couple of zips.

The two Critical XXL are both harvested and drying. When I harvested the Gelato my humidity was like 15%, not at all normal for my part of the planet. The Critical are hanging in the shop in 74% humidity one from last Tuesday, has been place in the plastic bag twice to draw moisture out of the lady and she is not hanging in the garage, hoped to trim her up today but going to need another day or so. The second Critical is in the plastic bag for the first time and will be removed tomorrow and rehung for further drying.
The Gelato went in to curing jars after just 5 drying days, these two Critical are drying on day 7 and 4 respectively.
Now that the Auto's are complete I can concentrate on the Cookies and Cream regulars, all 5 are females, put them under 12/12 for about 5 days and they showed their sex.
Have spread them all, trimmed and about ready to put into flower, sometime soon as soon as they recover from the trim.
The group
First one trimmed and spread on 11/9
Trimmed and spread on 11/10, respread today.

Everything in jars, the Gelato is ready to smoke and the two Critical are in the curing mode.
First to be harvested was the Gelato. Just over three zips.
Second one was the Critical XXL #1, three zips and 18 grams.
Last one harvested was the Critical XXL, 4 grams over 6 zips.
The Critical XXL #2 closeup.
So all in all the total for this Auto grow 13 zips, can live with that. If the quality of the two Critical XLL's are close to the Gelato then I will be a happy camper. I have smoke one joint of the Gelato and it is a keeper.
Now to concentrate on the 5 Cookies and Cream, all females that I just put into flower yesterday.

Today the plants were pulled from the tent and retied down. They are in full stretch mode, 8 inches since the start of 12/12, 11 days ago. Most of the stretch has occurred in the past 5 days.
Here it was the last time I tied it down on day 4 of 12/12.
Then two days later on day 6 of 12/12.
Day 8
And today, after tie down, day 11
I also raised the lamp about 6 inches to 26 inches and increased the intensity to 9 from 8.

Day 21 of 12/12
21st day of flower so time to do the major trim. Try to take everything with an inch or more stem, unless I feel that the leaf needs to stay for plant health reasons.
Pre trim
Post trim top view.
Post trim side view.
Top view full tent.
Side view full tent.
Couple of the buds.
I am sure I will hear from the anti defoliation folks, but I have been doing this same thing for many years and love my yields.
A little something to ponder!

Not post much today, sick for the past few days, have not done much but try to sleep.
They are recovering nicely from the 21 day trim.
More later when I am feeling better.

Thanks but wish I had a better camera. Too many out of focus.
