Grow Mediums Mr and Mrs AutoOtto's medical cannabis Autoflower grow diary

Very impressive, great growroom :) lol @ the mutant ;+}

Please wear gloves when handling perlite the way you do, dry and soaked, best to wear a mouth-covering mask as well.

I was worried about seeing your face in the 'suited up' photos, but you must feel confident that it's ok to do that here ?

I'm a legal med grower, wasn't too worried about showing my face, particularly in a hood, makes it a little less recognizable. Thanks for the cautions and compliments, very happy with our autos, and looking forward to an even better harvest in about 3 months on our upcoming auto crop. Final weights and smoke reports for this thread coming very soon (but suffice it to say, we averaged over 5 oz's per plant on the Northern Lights auto) and then we'll link to the new journal

Just went on SkunkPharm recently so I could get the lowdown on why thus far, I had not been getting the yields I would like to get when making oil, and they gave me some great tips, if you're struggling a bit as a beginning oilmaker they have some really great resources to set you on the right track, I like the purge and the quality I was getting thus far, but the weight just hadn't been there, they showed me the error of my ways, and I was able to get about a 16% return on sugar leaf from the photoperiod Rainbow Jones (fresh frozen leaf)

I heat purged it from below with a pan of warm water heated at about 140 degrees Farenheit (maybe 110 by the time it got through the bottom of the pyrex dish) and above with my heat gun at about the same temperature, keep popping the bubbles until they get very small, and then lay everything flat with a razor blade and continue to heat purge from above and below until bubbles stop entirely, scraping the pan when warm is a must with this method, the end product is very stable, and behaves slightly shatter-like at room temperature, but start working with it at all, and it starts behaving more like taffy. The flavor is just like the smell of the Rainbow Jones right before they got the chop, which is to say, divine, and reminding of skittles or the most delicious of hard candies, and it packs a lovely head stone, followed by a relaxing whole-body sensation, works wonders on my ankle pain and inflammation. Was able to run what I think would have been about a qp once dried, remember I was working with fresh frozen, so just my best guess as far as that goes, but ended up with 18 grams of this wonderful medication. Vaporization, whether it be in an oil rig or vaping flowers is what works best for my various conditions and this will keep me in dabs for a minute

Alright, time has finally come, it's final weights/smoke reports on the ladies!

NL auto plant #1: 70 grams, this plant had freakishly huge calyxes, the aroma, once dried and cured is very sweet, and lacking most or all of the pungency of the rest of her sisters, packs the least stone as well, but still has a lovely taste and high, you just have to smoke/vape more

NL auto plant #2: 175 grams and the smoke has a nice, berry candy smell/flavor to it, with a strong pungent, even sour, flavor on the exhale, along with a strong and immediate head high. noticeably more potent than the first one.

NL auto plant #3: 122 grams and this one has the same sweet berry essence of the others, though less aromatic than the previous two, however the sour taste on the exhale is more pronounced than the others, with a nice strong high, comparable to the 2nd plant.

NL auto plant #4: 190 grams. This plant has a very different aroma and flavor than the others, but still with enough similarities to be recognizable as the same strain.This plant was both the frostiest and the stoniest (go figure) out of all of these ladies. The smell has a very skunky, peppery edge to it, with the same sour pungency on the exhale, same high as the others, but just takes less hits to get there, also although all of these plants exhibited lots of purple while growing, the purple coloring all but completely dried away on every plant but this one.

NL auto plant #5: 257 grams Yep, over 9oz's on this one. There was a reason I called this one "The Beast" It had the sweetest, dankest smell while growing of them all, and although I gained some of that smell back in the cure, some of it seemed to dissipate as well. Still, it has a nice pungent and sweet taste when smoked or vaped and the stoniness seems on par with the second and third plants.

NL auto plant #6: 45 grams This sorry little plant is so different from all of the others, I wonder if I made a mistake in labeling her. She never seemed to really be that healthy through her whole life, but on a positive note, the smoke she produced is pretty tasty and stony, and has a very strong cheesy aroma/taste/smell (I did have a Supercheese express in this crop, perhaps she got switched at birth....) Or she could be some weird pheno of the NL, whatevs.

As you can see, that adds up to 859 grams out of 6 plants, for an average of just over 143 grams a plant, not too shabby for first time auto growers/growers overall especially considering I was hoping for, at best a 3-4 oz per plant average. Later today, we will begin our new thread for our current auto grow, so far we have 9 AK-49 autos that have just gone into buckets, and we will add a few plants to that crop shortly. I will link it here once it is up. Thanks to all for joining us on this thread it was a fun and educational experience!

Let me be the first to. Congratulate you!!! :slap: ++
 
I've had the distinct pleasure of sampling some of this distinct bud. Amazing!!! Thank you Mr. AutoOtto. You are a distinctly devine herb specialist.
 
A truly inspirational first grow journal! I'm going crazy waiting to be able to buy seeds. I've got everything else i need to get started with. Hoping Santa brings me some magic beans!
