The Vault’s Skywalker Auto Comparative Grow - in association with Mephisto Genetics

So final numbers are in on my Skywalker Plant #1 ended up with 34.9g's and Plant #2 was 36.2g's. Nothing to write home about but the final product is very good. The bottom line on this strain is, yes I would grow it again but I would keep the lights far off in veg to try and make them stretch a bit and maybe get a better yield. Now we will see how it does after some time in the old jar

Sorry to keep jacking the thread, just wanted to give some good news.they're letting people with I.d. back in their houses tomorrow. I don't think they mean us to stay for a couple more days, but I'm buying some supplies and parking around back, they'll have to drag me out once I get back in. They had about 50 mobile insurance claims units set up at one of the dinner show parking lots today, and a trailer to sign up for unemployment and get your claim expedited. There's still lots of firefighters, national guards, and red cross volunteers here working their asses off. The fire in the park is still burning, but they got town under control. There are ten dead so far, which is terrible, but it could have been so incredibly worse. Thank you all for the thoughts and prayers

Well, to get things back on track, I intended to go to Rob's house, so I grabbed the two Skywalkers, stuck them in my bubble bags to hide them and stuck them in my car. I was given a free motel room for a couple of days today, so I drug them in and stuck them in the closet with my LED. they're pretty wilted after two days in bags in my car, but I think they'll be alright as long as the power is on when I get home

I'm happy to hear you're alright. I love the grow in the hotel closet. Way to grow buddy.

Thats a wild story brother stay safe

I harvested my girls today, first ever grow. Vegged under cfl and most of flower under 450hps. Thrichs almost all cloudy no amber going for the get up and go high. I believe about 67days

Wet weight of 360g

Hung up in the veg tent to start the drying

I just snapped some shots of my Skywalker that I thought that I would share. You can clearly see where the one side of my plant is not doing so well after laying on the soil when it was a really young plant after spraying it with Axiom. If I use this stuff again, I'll have to be careful not to let this happen again. Anyway, thanks for looking and all comments, good or bad, are very much appreciated.

Hope y'all have a great day!

Thats so wild how one side just stayed fucked up. I have seen some strange shit happen to young plants but they usually recover with no visible signs. But the rest of the plant looks really good. Nice and bushy, you wait and see how all those branches fill up with bud. Mine stayed short but there were buds all the way to the soil and every branch was packed with buds. I smoked some of that shit this morning and I can tell you it is some good weed. Really nice fun buzz.

Rob had to leave their pet pig when they got out. The wind blew down trees across his driveway and they had to walk to the closest neighbor to get a ride out. One of his neighbors snuck back in, and saw Charles(the pig). We had heard that the humane society and a lot of volunteers were stabling animals at the local fairgrounds, so we snuck in to try to save him. We got him View attachment 3842880 and got him to a nice stall with hay and food (which was donated by the farm supply store, thank you). This is the remains of Rob's houseView attachment 3842881View attachment 3842884 View attachment 3842885 View attachment 3842882 View attachment 3842883

Sorry to hear and see that. We have been surrounded by fires on all sides. I'm glad the rain has moved in. My lungs and sinuses couldn't handle much more.

Had to sneak back in to private property? Should be the captains choice whether or not to go down with their ship.

It's more looters and general tourist morons they're trying to stop. I planned to hide out and stay at my house, but after seeing how hard all the crews were working, I decide to just go back to the motel. I don't want to be the cause of a single one of them having to stop what they're doing and deal with something stupid. And...there's no water...if I'm hiding in a house for up to 4 days, need to be able to flush...

Where (roughly) are you dealing with fire? Over in Carolina?

Day 45: Skywalker is looking better than I thought it would 2 weeks ago. If they bulk up like they have in the last 2 weeks, I will be very happy! 18/6 for light. Only 25 watts sq/ft as they are in my Veg Room.

@Roger A. Shrubber - Glad to see you made it out and no one was hurt. Amazing your pet pig made it! When you get set back up, I would be happy to send seeds your way.

Appreciate the offer, but I came through this so well, and people have already been so good to me, I would feel bad taking anything from anyone

No, do it do it!

63 days today getting close gonna do the chop Friday, I have some 12/12 from seed that are not far behind gonna be a good winter..

Update fellas. today they got the final hair cut I removed all the leaves and bagged them till Sat morning,
Pros.
1. The ease of growing this strain was extremely easy and required very little maintenance not a finicky plant by any means.
2. The speed of development reduces the risk for any infestation of bugs or powdery mildew.

Cons.
My only complaint was the yield. I have photo plants started at the same time ran 12/12 from seed uses half the power with 3 times the yield that will be ready in 2 weeks. I can agree with the ones who don't like the excess usage of power with minimal results.
What I would like to see is a seed company focus more on a fast yielding photo plant. sure the autos are cool due to their speed but the end result could be double or triple with half the power consumption in just a couple weeks longer, and if anyone doubts the facts feel free to read up on the 16 ounce solo cup challenge it's 12/12 from seed and these guys are killing it.
Thanks to all that was involved especially Jack and George for all their hard work putting this together and mephisto genetics for going out of their way to provide us with some cool grows and hope it continues, Rx green solutions and general hydro for another round of freebies if I could find someone to donate a windmill or some solar panels I'd be set lol .I do want to try some photo plants in a comparison grow with you guys hopefully the guys can put one together, it doesn't matter I'm just here for the bad ass shirts... I will have a wet weight on Sat and a dry weight to follow, I haven't even dried a tester yet.

Nice looking plants. Too bad they were so small, but I found that the bud is very good.

I wonder if @Jack Vault has any plans for an upcoming comparative??? It sure would be nice, this is so much fun.

It would be cool to grow some colorful buds I've seen pics that are absolutely unbelievable.
