Waxy's Autos plus a little Reg Radness

Alright ladies and germs. I'm a little late on putting this up, but what can I say? Things have been busy. That being said, I'm going to try to not be TOO long winded for time's sake...Lol yeah right.

I would also like to to mention that this is going to be a very not so precise grow, meaning, I'm not going to be counting down from start of flower to finish. I don't remember when I popped the beans, I ignored the "don't transplant autos" rule, and I was unintentionally a little rough with them when they went outside. You get the idea. When they are satisfactory, I'll pull em and that's that.

SO! I started with the following
1x World of Seeds Amnesia Auto
1x Dinafem White Widow XXL Auto
2x Fastbuds Green Crack Auto
2x Shortstuff Himalayan Orange Deisel Auto
1x Pyramid Seeds Wembley Auto
5x Bomb Seeds Blueberry Bomb Auto
6x Regular bag seed that I'm just going to be calling Randy. Lol

Popped seeds via paper towel in a baggie method, got 100% germ. Transplanted to Root riot cubes and put them in to my little seedling box with a single t5ho light. All was going peachy. A few days later, they went in to some seedling soil mix in 1 liter paper pots...that ended up sucking sack big time but I'll save you the rant.

Roughly about a week and half later they went out in to my mini greenhouse with some shade netting over it to harden them off. Didnt have much a choice. The GC#2 was starting to stink already along with a few of the blueberries. Stinky plants in veg is a good problem to have if you ask me. It was cloudy the next day which worked out nicely so I removed the netting and let them do their thing in the unshaded greenhouse for a few days.

Here they are before I moved them outside to the greenhouse.

Looks like you are off to a solid start. Good luck.

I should mention, by this point I had lost two plants. One of the HOD's had grown in all wonky and just was not happy at all. Finally is just collapsed and died. The second was a Randy runt and i didnt have room for it along side my veggies and whatnot in the greenhouse...so I plucked it. From 18 to 16. I can dig it.

While all this is happening, I had been busy prepping my spot. Yes, one spot. I know putting all your eggs in one basket is bad practice, but hey. I don't have time to be running all over creation. It's a chance I'll have to take. Found a sweet little south facing nook with some really rich soil so I went at it with the shovel.



Got the 11 holes dug for the autos' soil, and then decided that I wanted to see what the Regs would do in the local soil so I left that be for the time being. Carried in all the soil (300 liters worth) and all the rest of the gear. Man, you guys weren't kidding with all the carying being tiresome. That shit sucked. Lol Lined off my nook with three runs of heavy test fishing line for any bigger animals. It was cheap so I figured why not. Filled my holes with soil mix almost to the top and called it a day.

Thanks Larry! I got more coming. Just gotta write it all up.

You are scaring me with those holes laid off in a perfect geometrical progression.

The next visit was about a week or so later and it was transplant day. Once I got my box on location, I went to it.



This is where I ran in to that issue with those papers pots. The soil would either stick to the paper and mess with the roots or it would fall apart in my hands so I just said to hell with it. As long as I get em all in the ground in one piece, I'll be a happy camper. Gave em a good dose of Mycos before I plopped em in and then topped em off with a bit more soil. Watered them all in, sprayed them with a little neem and moved on to the regs.



Now these are only a stones throw away from the autos but I had decided that these are going to be what @sandhill larry calls Darwin Dope. I was in a rush at this point so that might have assisted that disicion but no cages, no added soil, and hopefully minimal watering. No worries! I live in a climate that rains once a week at a minimum during the summer so I think they will be just fine. We'll see what happens.

Lol they aren't. Thats just my camera angle. Dont worry. However, much of the surrounding trees and vegetation grows this way. The inner perfectionist may have come out a little though. Oh well. I'm not stressing it.

Good luck

Thanks man.

That's all for now. I'll have more up tomorrow.

Looking good Waxer. I'm not game enough to plant anything outside where it can't be moved.

Thanks man! @Nugachino That's alright! You are doing your thing and it's working for you. No shame in that game dude.

Cheers bro

Next visit, came back to a bit of a mess. Something had gotten in and dug up a good few of the girls. Looks like it was a small critter of some sort so i had to do something to remedy that. Best part is that I had filled the holes a week earlier just for this purpose but not a single hole was touched before transplant. Of course the plants go in and then they get ravaged. Lol. Oh well. Rolling with the punches.

On top of that, a few of them look like they got a little burnt from what looks like some settled dew met the sun. Some look happy as all get out while others...not so much.

GC#2 and BB#5 got roughed up the hardest. They had been nearly ripped out of the ground and we're laying on their sides when I got there. Straightened them back out and tucked em back in so hopefully they come back. It's a shame because that GC#2 was looking really promising. We'll have to see. Hopefully she makes a comeback.

3 out of the 5 regs got dug up pretty good as well but I just tucked em back in. One of was completely out but it looked like a fresh hit so I might lose it. Might not. Haven't gotten any pictures of them yet since I was in a hurry. Phone died somewhere along the lines so I couldn't snap a picture of the sweet little critter fence I put up either. Meh. I'll take some next time, all things willing. Lol.

Oh right! I watered them all in with a light fish and aloe feeding. Should suit em nicely. Also did a little slug defense with the cans and copper tape. Might have to grab some pellets but time will tell.

If you guys have any comments or ideas as to what the yellow splotches on the girls could be, let me have it. Mean, nice, I don't give a damn. All are welcome.

I use that stinky spray around my plants, especially right after I transplant.

Snail and slug bait is like 4-5 bucks at Walmart.

Yeah. I'll most likely pick up some slug bait for the next trip out. Seems stupid not to.

Most recent visit was a short one but I got a fair bit done so I'm happy.

All the regs seem to be hangin in there. One of them got knocked over again but started shooting up toward the sun anyway so I went ahead and staked all 5. Otherwise they look happy and green. A little slug damage but I took care of that. Slug bait for the win.

So far, 3 and 5 are my favorites. Gave em a little fish/aloe water and some neem spray and moved on to the autos.

Not much to say about these ladies. Some are moving right along, some are still struggling. I noticed that the ones that got a little burned have been more prone to pests.

The little BB#5 is just can't catch a break. Looks like she has some green new growth though so I'll keep her going until she gives out. Might as well. GC#2 made a nice comeback from the uprooting she had. Made me happy to see that because her sister is not looking all that hot. has some funky clawing on the new growth. Not sure what's going on there.

Everything else is just doing it's thing. Still some burn here, some munch marks there but not much I can do about it I suppose. Sprayed with neem, fed with fish/aloe and rolled out.

Well shit. Popped on here to do a little update and all of my pictures have crapped out on me...oh well. Guess I'll just upload direct to RUI from now on.
