Day 55

I've become ROBOTIC in my first grow. Each and every girl gets her own TLC hoping for THC. ALL nutes/additives/equipment removed from cabinet...then replaced as EACH is used; if I'm interrupted, I know exactly where I left off. I can pull this off drunk (on occasion), muscle memory! Two feedings per day with more runoff than suggested/recommended using drip/clean. 10 days of drip clean with coco in smartpots, two feedings per day. I have two plants which I'm SOOOOOO proud of...send me some good grow karma that I may bring this experiment to fruition!!!

The experiment with the RDWC (Recirculated Deep Water Culture) may have gone a little too far... (Jock Horrors I got are prolly NOT real autos), she got TOO tall for the tent and is experiencing light burn. She's fackin HUGE! Nothing I can do...unless sumbuddy has a suggestion...but I aint cuttin the colas!

Fell in love with coco coir. I'm gonna keep using it til my massive supply of nutes run out. Then...totally organic grows. I'd rather spend two days of hard labor creating a soil medium requiring NO NUTES (a 'lil teabagging now and again) than operating a laboratory. Don't get me wrong...I've enjoyed EVERY MINUTE of this experience/experiment. My wife is now calling me 'Professor'. Holy shit, I've learned SO much in the last 120 days!

I'll use coco/hydro for tomatoes which I can use at the restaurant. I've proven to myself that I can create a healthy hydro environ. At any rate, here are my latest pics of the two girls I'm most proud of (I'm proud of Dani [RDWC] as well):



Questions:
1. What shall I do with Dani (not pictured, but too tall and too big and 10 days behind)?
2. From your experience, how much longer to harvest, as I may want to do the usual protocol?
3. The slight 'curling up' of the leaves indicates...what? (I'm keeping the RH 38-42 at this stage)

1- is Dani flexable enough that you could tie the top down a little? if so I'd try that
2- my guess would be 3 week's give or take a few day's
3- don't know. I was hoping some one would chime in on this as I'm curious too
girl's are looking sexy!

'preciate yer advice Eesam...I'm ALREADY bending her, spinning her, trimming her...ain't no AUTO...no way. Fully extended, she would be over 6'5" tall, as big around if I didn't trim. Her stalk at dirt level is porn star material!

21 more days of this? Ugh...these gals OWN me! If the weather turns nice, I may finish her outside to let the twins finish with room. Again, Thanx.

Egglands Best

Those are JUMBO Egglands Best! sigh...I can't wait til this is over...between the human girls and these guys, I'm being run ragged. I had resort to bondage with Dani, who is getting burned by the lightand shortly after the evening feeding, I got a bucket full 'o trim for the compost pile... I spose I gotta learn to rotate the pics somehow...

All 48 will get snow tonite... Smooch. Kissin the 'NOGOODNIKS' goodbye...never again will I KowTow to local scum to provide my 88 year old mother with relief...

I don't think they're really auto's. Nirvana acknowledges this fact. they apologized. but my tent is facked.

I really don't think these Jock Horrors are true Auto's. Apparently, many others agree...Nirvana is aware of the problem. After viewing hundreds of other auto grows here on AFN, my plants are WAY big...the one in RDWC has gotten out of hand. Never expected to have a prollem with no room in the tent.

These plants only flowered when I changed the light spectrum from MH to HPS...like at 5 1/2 weeks.

Can't wait to grow the two White Widows...they should be REAL autos.

I'm sorry to hear about your woes with Nirvana... I avoid then like the plague. I bought two Jock Horrors off Castle, pick n mix, and grew one out and it was a straight up hermie. They are not very professional if you ask me. Mine auto'd but with both parts!

May your white widows grow green!
