A little no picture update for you guys.

Checked on them this morning and they have grown ALOT since my last picture update 3 days ago.

About 3 days ago I germinated 6x hso blue dreams paper towel method and they all had a nice tap root a day or 2 later, and I tossed them in 2 gallon pots under the greenhouse.

2 of them have broken through the soil and now I am waiting for the other 4 which I expect to break through at the latest 2 days from now.

I will post a picture update as soon as all of my blue dreams break through the soil:leaf:

Probably the best update yet, past 4 days the ladies having been growing QUICK!

All 6 of my hso blue dreams have cracked through the soil too, they are going in 50 gallon smart pots for a nice fall harvest :weed:

The fantasamo expressos have shown pistils, and the mazars and ultimates have not yet.

Last minute I decided to actually do a full grow besides the autos. I'm going to be focused on this grow journal and I will periodically give small updates here of my non auto grow.

I ordered 10x blue dreams from humboldt organizations and got 3 freebies. I really love how they packaged the Blue dreams.

I just mixed up 300 gallons of soil yesterday and it's gonna be cooking for the next few weeks and I will start 6 plants at the end of March.

Thanks for following along guys, I'll have another auto update comin within the next few days!

-------EDIT--------
Forgot to mention, I placed the order for these seeds through gorilla, on February 25th when they were out of stock of the blue dreams. They emailed me immediately and offered a free upgrade to a blueberry twist, which I declined. Other then that, customer service s was great, overall shipping was faster than most places, I think 9-10 days from when they shipped and I am in SoCal. They were also the cheapest blue dream seeds you can find in other banks. Great company, would definitely recommend them.
I can't believe you got the advanced female seeds honeysuckle and icebreaker they are the exact same seeds I have got on my wish list I'm planning on doing them later this year I've posted trying to find growers who are doing these let me know how they do for you...

Awesome! Were you planning on doing a grow journal, I'll be happy to follow along your's as well!

The super cheese, honey suckle, and ice breaker were actually freebies I got from gorilla! I have literally searched the web trying to find info on these strains and have been very unlucky with the results haha.

Besides these autos and my 6x blue dreams I'm growing at my own house, I have another 6x plant crop going on at my buddies house, plan on doin 3 or 4 blue dreams and the super cheese, ice breaker, and honeysuckle.

Just stay along for the ride man, I'll have plenty of nug porn towards the end of the year. I was planning on finishing this grow journal for my autos, and then sort of transitioning this same thread into my seasonal crops!

I just subbed to your journal:bigjoint:

I just casually scrolled through the first few pages, all your ladies look in GREAT condition, so green and happy, keep it up!

When I get some free time in my hands within the next week I'll figure out how to use the actual "Grow Journal" (as I've only ever used threads as journals) and check it out a bit more!

*Edit
I will for sure be posting another picture update here tomorrow! It's been almost 5 days now since my last.

**********Day 37 03/24/16**********

I've had a pretty good past few days and the ladies have been lovin the sunny days. Just watered all of them this morning and I plan on spraying them down with some BT for the first time later tonight.

I would say the ones that I have not trained are easily over a foot and a half now. I stopped training some of them maybe a week ago and personally I don't think I'll ever train an auto again, I didn't like the growth.

Heres a pic of one of my lil blue dream babies. Unfortunately, I have caught a few fungus gnats on them and did a small neem soil drench a night or two ago, I don't see any crawling in the soil anymore, but I woke up to a couple on 2 of them. Doesn't look serious though, I hope to have this lil problem under control by next week. None of the autos have had any serious pest issues cause of the neem oil.

I had to enlarge this one cause I just love the first sign of greens filling up the house:weed:

Here's a shot of some of the soil I made this year. Finished up the last of what I needed at my buddys house yesterday for a total of 500 gallons.

I went with LC's mix with recipe #1 w/ the optional greensand since I plan to reuse this soil.

I'm also going to be using AACTs throughout the year to keep my soil thriving. This stuff has been cooking for 2 or 3 weeks now. Smells so earthy and delicious! :leaf:

**********Day 41 03/28/16**********

Past 4 days my ladies have been more transitioning into producing flowers rather than vertical height. They are still growing vertically, but not as much as they were in the recent 2 weeks. The ones I have not trained I would guess are about 2 ft. I'm pretty excited on them finishing up, looks like its gonna be a good amount of pregame smoke to last me the summer.

I just sprayed them with BT for the first time last night, and will probably spray them down with it again in 2 weeks. I'll probably do my last spray of neem oil this week, Tuesday and Friday, and will let them finish.

Today is Day 43 for my ladies, I am not doing another picture update til the end of the weekend.

This morning I went out there to check on them and I have had a praying mantis egg sack hanging for about 3-4 weeks now, which I just assumed it wasn't going to hatch since it was taking so long... Well, went out there this morning and it was a praying mantis party LOL!

I probably only spotted maybe five of them, they are babies!! I'll try and catch a picture of them in a few days.

Oh and I found my old RIU account name through tapatalk from 2013 haha, no plan on going back to that account, but its name is @WallaY

The fantasamo expressos are full on flowering now, I would say at week 2, and the rest are still slowly transitioning into flower while still putting on vertical height.

A few of them are easily standing at 3' tall now and besides the 4x Fantasamos it looks like the rest still have another 50-60 days.

I stopped with the neem oil on all of them except the blue dreams, since I had a praying mantis egg sac hatch and I don't want to risk the chance of suffocating them since they are very young. Thankfully, I hit them with BT few days before the egg hatched which should give them some time to grow up before I hit them with BT again 2 weeks from now.

This is an exact copy of a thread I created in the autoflowering section, as I would like to update everyone following along in my thread who might not venture off into the autoflowering section here.

Here is the link first. http://rollitup.org/t/hermie-automazar.905392/#post-12490470

I'm just curious on if anyone has experience with this kind of situation. Your welcome to comment on either thread, doesn't matter, thank you!

"Hey guys, just went out this morning to check on the girls and one of my automazars is showing definite signs of hermie. There isn't many male banannas growing, more pistils, this automazar happens to be my tallest lady standing at inch below 3'.

I've been doing some research and apparently I can let her/him do its things and let it go another 10-14 days after harvest and collect the male pollen to pollinate some more female autos and create my own feminized autoflowers.

Of course, there is still a chance of some of those seeds being hermie's themselves, but majority will be feminized? Does anyone have any experience with this type of situation? It would be awesome to be able to breed my own supply of feminized autoflower seeds.

Heres a few pictures."
