The Vault’s Sour Livers Auto Comparative Grow – in association with Mephisto Genetics

Here she is at day 52. As I mentioned earlier, I hit her with some Honeybee pollen on 5/12. I was surprised to see mature seeds on the stem calyxes already! Seems fast for seed production, but they are big and dark and the calyx had started to open. The rest of her looks very seedy, but not mature yet.

Hell yeah nice bro...

No where near what the rest of you guys are at... but they are trucking along and looking pretty good to be just babies. Sour Livers x 2.

Germed 3 of mine today in papertowels. Good taproot growth for only 24 hours. Planted mine straight into 4 gallon fabric pots just now with MG moisture control soil and I added about 10% perlite.

Will be growing them outdoors under the sun, will start feeding once they take off

Damn dog got in the same sour livers plant again. This time uprooted it. I'm seriously thinking about getting rid of him now, seriously. I love my dog to death and like I said before he's smart as hell he potty trains other puppies I've gotten. Hes loyal and all that shit, but this isn't something I can tolerate. Hes smart enough to know what he's doing is wrong. Smh I'm pissed figured I'd come here and tell y'all and to let you know to never give up hope on these plants I haven't lol here she goes.

Here's the damn dog. Lol he's a Maltese named waffles.

He's too cute to get rid of! Stick some forks (like you eat with, plastic is ok) in the soil surrounding the plant with the tines up. He'll stay out, or at least that works with my cats.

Thanks for the idea, I've been thinking of ideas for the situation. Just frustrated, because he got disciplined twice already. Hes smart, he knows. Hes got to be doing it on purpose, hes too smart not too. I give him plenty attention, I've got 3 sons also, so he's not doing it for attention, I don't believe. I dunno. I just hope she bounces back this time. It was actually uprooted this time, first time he didn't do much damage outside of laying on it. Second time he halfway dug it up and played on it. This time he went all out. I would have posted pics of the aftermath, but was In a hurry to get it back in soil and watered. Oh well, we'll see what happens, sucks to lose a weeks worth of growth for reestablishing roots.

That does suck but the fork trick has been a lifesaver for me. I have one cat who loves to curl up in my outdoor plants. My grandmother taught me the trick. My grandfather's hunting dogs were always messing with her plants.

I'll try it. Or something similar. Right now I'd like to do it with knives no I'm joking. Lol

Poor doggy... lol how could you be mad at a little fella as cute as he is? I get it though. I have 1 that use to try and get into mine. Actually had 2 around 5 yrs ago eat about 6 of mine!! Ate every damn leaf and everything! Really blew the dogs minds.. they was high as kites for days.. lol. Had to end up getting those tomato cages and placed them around my plants to ward off the dogs, I also added "hot sauce" on and around each of the plants! Works like a charm bro... seriously.

I have finally found a window to start my balcony project and dropped 2 sour livers this evening.
This will eventually be their new home. The planters have heirloom tomato starts that I germed from seed in my veg tent.

I appreciate the suggestions. I may try a tomato cage. Right now it/they are filling out more so it may be a non issue now. It's coming around surprisingly. The day after it just sat there with her head hung low, I thought she was done for sure. Following morning signs of life were evident. I'll post pics in lil bit, they are taking off. Done some super cropping and topping. Hopefully I didn't hurt them too bad by topping. When is the ideal time to top an auto??? Waffles said thanks lol

I didn't think you were supposed to top them at all,....but I am by no means an auto expert.

I also have heard that auto's don't respond well to topping. but like @cindysid said i am not an expert either.

I would agree with the not topping thing but that's only what I've heard. Light LST is ok and light nutes from my experience. IM planning on leaving it to its own devices as they're testers.

I know that's what they say, but I've seen it, I've seen people mainline autos also along with l.s.t.. Not all strains respond well to it, though. I'll look where I seen it done at and ask those guys, and get back with you. Lol I figured it might not hurt to try you only live once lol Hopefully sour livers don't mind too much, we'll see.

Here's one that was topped and the one poor old waffles killed thrice. Lol Kinda easy to tell apart. But hey she still has life.

The info I've found so far is days 14-21 and 3rd or 4th node. I'd recommend familiarizing yourself with said strain though I guess. It never hurts to try, some do well some don't, same with any other training methods. I'll dig up more info and as far as these go we'll see how they do.

Waffles. Lol.
My tent is a waffles free zone.
How can you get mad at anything named Waffles. Just sayin'.
I might be jumping the gun posting this picture but I'm too damn excited to get this going.
2 sour livers soaked overnight, then straight into their 3g homes. Usually I do the paper towel thing as well but skipped because they're autos.

I've topped autos before. However I feel they didn't fully recover and meet their full potential really. The reason I say that is at the time I was running 2 NL autos and 2 Blueberry autos. Both of the 2 that I topped produced nothing near the weight of the 2 that went untopped. I really do believe it has to do with the time they have to spend to recover they could have been flowering. Just my thoughts.
