Where to begin...

Coming off some hard losses.

Lost a crop to root rot.

Got sold photos instead of autos. Speed Seed Company, doesn't live up to its name.

Bred my own auto seeds when a crop hermied. Critical x Bubblegum. Popped 50 seeds, put the first 34 to pop in my homemade hydro system. All turned out fem autos. Kind of a Bubble x NFT setup. Really easy to maintain.

The plants took a nitrogren toxic shock when I switched to bud nutrients. I should have flushed before the nutrient switch. A few went limp and the rest turned very dark green at the tops with dying bottom growth. I flushed immediately they are a few days into it now.

The limp guys popped back and the majority are turning light green. The buds are solid so far with long crystal covered hairs.


Shitty camera as always. Borrowing my girlfriends for the next video. Wanted to get something posted before I crash for the day, though.

Today is a few days passed week 6. Staying positive despite the downward spiral of events this year. I don't know what else to do other than keep carrying on.

Here is a pic of the taproot of a runt plant. I have 3 runts that have been showing mobile nutrient problems. Got some stuff from Advanced nutes called "Revive". 2 of them are finally green, the biggest runt still has a yellow top but is showing really good recovery.

The system adjusts but it is about as low as it can go while still keeping a flow of water. Had 15 gallons overflow last time it went lower lol. Took every towel I own and a couple blankets to get it cleaned up.

I was not expecting them to stretch like this they are much larger than previous auto grows. The earliest projected harvest is at the very end of the month. I believe its going to be first week in October though. Going to do one more harvest after this with these hermie seeds since these turned out all fems.

My house addition is finally done being built. Just need the money for the electrical and insulation and it will be ready for growing. A summer project turned into a fall one because of funding.

Its day 54, looks like these are going to take longer than their parents.

They drank 10 gallons in 2 days, refilling the reservoir right now. Getting some reddish hairs but the indicator hairs are still long and white.

Not sure if I should go with stronger nutrients. They look hungry by the amount of leaves yellowing but after that last overdose...

I pulled some dead leaves. The smell reminds me of fruity pebbles. My girlfriend said the same and she doesn't smoke. She also said she wished my breath smelled as good... -.-

I have her camera now. Going to post a new, way higher quality, vid tomorrow after they get some drinkey drinkey. Not sure why Youtube is making them private with it set on public...

Day 58 Snapshot

Some hairs are curling in. The majority of plants still have white hairs. They are drinking water like mad and gaining weight. Have some HPS bulbs on order for wednesday. Cannot wait to get them in to help the fattening.

Been a really long day. Worked on the greenhouse all day. Making a video for it soon. Here are a couple of the stalks:

Ah shit I thought I had a day off and they chugged another 5 gals of water so I am forced to change the res. I am sure what they are drinking now is like 10% nutrients.

I will have a video walk thru with a quality camera tonight. Going to take a little editing time but you will actually be able to see buds and not white blurs lol. Plus the damage they went thru with the overdose and flush.

Despite the usual, I am pretty happy with how fast they are packing on bud. The bad turn of events did not seem to phase them.

More at 11.

Looking over the buds today I noticed hairs that looked damaged. At first I thought they might be some of the matured ones but the damaged looking hairs are on plants where all the buds are white..

Also noticed the indica dominant plants are covered in sugar and the taller sativa like ones are sugary but only on the buds.

Still swelling tho..

On track to a very nice return there bruh!
Thanks. I was worried a bit up until this morning. I looked at them in nantural light and they are a really healthy green. The damage I thought was bad is only on a minority of leaves. I thought the plants were an off yeloow under the mh light...

Still long white hairs with a little purple, I think from these cold mornings. Opening the heater vent for them on the dark period.

Every week the plants look 3 weeks away still lol but they sure are fattening up.

If your buds are white they could be bleached... or are you speaking of the pistils being white???
Pistils, sorry. Some browned. I hope they are not seeded. I am thinking it could be from cold also. I did not realise how cold it was getting in the morning.

Edit: I just noticed in my OP that I put bubblegum x critical. Its actually bubblegum x white widow.

Also, going to attempt to cobb cure much of this crop.
