-FULLY AUTOMATIC- Star Ryder - Big Bomb - Ultraviolet.. autoflower grow

POP!

2 x Star Ryder - Sargamantha
1 x Big Bomb - Bomb
1 x Ultraviolet - Samsara
all autoflower.


3gal nursery pots with 50/50 coco perlite amended with OC+ (no hempy this time, just more frequent hand watering).

My dual arc 400 watter burned this morn, nearly made it through three grows, so I ran out and grabbed an UltraSun HPS 400w for $20
Hence the shitty pics but should do the job of finishing up my lengthy ladies and kicking off the babes.

I ordered 2 x Think Different, 2 x Big Bomb, 2 x Star Ryder and 2 x Autopounder.

Got 1 x Ultraviolet and 1 x Crazy Miss Hyde as freebies all through TSSC.

So two things lead to less than 50% popping... extracted the parcel from England from the slot of my mail box.. it had been bent in half and fucking jammed in there. Prick, 3 or 4 seeds were crushed to varying degrees.

Second thing is I put them straight in rockwool cubes instead of the paper towel/saucer/cling wrap method that has served me virtually 100% success, so live and learn

1 week. They did their first week under HPS and on 12/12 while some old girls finished.

Yesterday switched to 400w MH and 20/4.

2 weeks in.....

Preflowers on the Big Bomb and one of the Star Ryders. So far the bigger Star Ryder is winning followed by the Big Bomb but its still anyone's game. I learnt from my last grow not to ignore the runts, I mistreated a C99 (ie not PHing water etc) because it was the runt and it ended up producing some of my fave nugs

Makes me smirk to see such little plants going to flower!

3 weeks. Slight leaf tip curl and some tip discoloration on the big Star Ryder.

They did go straight into the main pots charged with OC+ and I gave them one watering with protekt and kelp/molasses supp so it seems I'm running slightly hot but nothing too drastic so I'll give a couple more waters without supps (except cal-mag @ 5ml per gal every water) and try again.

Overall they seems to be growing nice and strong with the Big Bomb being tallest.

Room is dialed in.... around 80 degress, 30% humidity, nice gentle air movement/exchange.

19/5 hours with 400w MH, will prob switch to HPS in a week or two

switched to hps

8 weeks. One of the Star Ryder's is killing the others by far with really strong side branches and good bud density. The Big Bomb has some nice hard nugs but cant hold her side branches. The Ultraviolet has skinny sticky buds, looks like its nearly finished, fuck all yeild but the smell is like sweet Jelly Bellies!

The runty Star Ryder has airy buds and disappointing yield so far

Got some Moby Dick XXL auto, Sensi Skunk auto and Tha Shiznit in the mail, trying to find an auto the delivers over an oz hopefully two in 10 weeks.

Didnt take pics of the Big Bomb because she's tied up under the HPS and as we all know HPS pics are shit

Star Ryder close up

Pulled the Ultraviolet and the Big Bomb today @ 8 weeks.

UV was done , the Bomb could have had another week but they were stinking up the joint! Especially the UV.
The missus was grumbling about the smell and getting worried, time to invest in that filter I guess.

The Star Ryder needs another couple of weeks and doesn't stink too bad.

Pics with fans removed, then manicured. Both were easy to trim, the bomb was prob the easiest I've ever done


UV - small sticky stanky buds, low yield



Big Bomb - good size hard nugs, medium skunky aroma, medium yield

BB

Star Ryders came down. One was runty and really sensitive to nutes. It will prob make around an oz dry.

The other was the champ of the grow and should clear a couple zips

Nice sticky large dense nugs, pleasant mild skunk and mangoe-y aroma for the champ, runty was less dense but wouldn't say airy.

Runty



The Champ

All jarred up... starting to cure now, the cut grass smell has faded and the fruity tones are coming through.

Ultraviolet - 30grams - sweet candy aroma, sweet smoke, soaring sativa high... good stuff!

Lil Star Ryder - 23.6 grams
Champ Star Ryder - 70.9 grams - mild fruity skunk aroma, nice relaxing but stimulating high, sort of the best of both worlds but not super strong.

Big Bomb - 44.3grams - some sort of rotten vegetable smell though not entirely unpleasant, middle of the road high, good for day time seems the lowest THC, visually appealing nugs

So just over 6 oz from 4 plants = still not good enough autos!

Its all on one page coz there were fuck all comments haha! Anyway I'm still hoping for a winning strain from this next grow because there's a lot of things to like about growing autos, just need the yield and THC.

The Sensi Skunk seedlings are looking strong so far.

Although 2.5 oz off the Star Ryder was pretty decent. Just have to wait till the cure's finished to make final judgement

Never mind my bro keep growing and they will come sure this will help people out when it comes to growing autos looking forward to the next one

excellent journal my friend! whats wrong with the thc% is the high not doing it for you? or do you just want to see a certain number? have you tested any of your bud for thc%?
