Rick's Organic Winter Grow

[420autoflower]

End week 6. Days 42 and 43. Good growth and bud development this week. I watered/fed 4 times this week, every 48 hrs.
Still Yucca, silica, Liquid Weight, fish hydrolysate and Ultra Bio( every other).

Group shots. Day 42 and 43.

Mandela Effect day 43. Stretch slowed way down. 36 or 37"

Outlier C day 43. Frost coming on.

Quicksand Cookies day 43. Frosty, I like the way she's looking.

Voodoo day 42. I defoliated heavily and she needs more. Coming on.

Anvil day 43. She's a beefy gal. Heavy defol start of the week.
Looks like 13 or 14 weeks for her.

Straw Dog day 42. She'll have a nice yield if I can get the buds to fatten.

Thanks for looking folks. I'll be back.

Looking like big producers brother Rick.
That Anvil is gearing up to be a beast.
Great job on keeping your foliage down… all the defols will definitely help increase your overall yield and the quality of your lower buds.

End week 7. Day 49 and 50. All the plants are growing good with no problems so far.
Defoliation on every plant this week. The gals in the 7s seem to be slow cooking a bit.
Same waterings/feed. Some cooler weather moved in so I kicked the lights up to 80% at 24"
over canopy. Still trying to decide when to turn on the uva bar.

Night Owl group shot.

Anvil and Jean-O's group shot.

VooDoo day 49. Took one million leaves this week. She's still bunched up.
Maybe she will stretch out some this week. We'll see.

Straw Dog day 49. She's looking good. Buds a fattening.
I am certainly in the race. :smoking:

Anvil day 50. Slow cooking. Quite a bit of defol early in the week.

Pic of the Anvil I grew last year in a 5 gal at day 53.

Quicksand Cookies day 50. Lots of purple on the stalk and stems. Hairs turning orange.

Outlier C day 50. I took a bunch of leaves. She's frosty AF.

Mandela Effect day 50. Heavy defoliation. The leaf stems and branches are sticky as can be.

Glad you stopped by. See you guys next week. :smiley1:

End week 8. Days 56 & 57. All are growing good without any problems.
I've been watering/feeding every 48 hours. I'll start the two plants in the 5 gal bags
on Flower Finisher this week. We'll see about the girls in the 7s in a week or so.

Night Owl group shot.

Jean-O's & Anvil group shot.

Gnome Anvil day 57. I took a few handful of leaves off at the start of the week
and a few more throughout the week. She's drooping her leaves about an hour before
lights out and perks up as soon as lights on.

Jean-O's VooDoo day 56. I defoliated heavily at the start of the week.
She's still bunched up. Quite a bit of flower, will be interesting to see how she grows out.

Night Owl Quicksand Cookies day 57. Pretty flowers that are frosting up nice.

Night Owl Outlier C day 57. Crazy frosty.

Night Owl Mandela Effect day 57. Buds are fattening up and getting frosty.

Jean-O's Straw Dog day 56. Minimal defol this week. Starting some nice frost.

My container plants are in the home stretch. One more month and they'll
get to go back out on the patio after a long 5 and a half month stay in the garage.

Thanks for looking see ya next week.

Very nice bro!
Love your container plants.
Defoliations must be getting harder and more time consuming with all those delicate frosty buds.

Thanks 420. I feel like I’m having a good run this winter/spring. This is my first run I’ve really concentrated on defoliating every plant thoroughly.
I love what I’m seeing. Thanks for giving me the confidence to do it. Lol. I’m holding off on the FF until the last 4 weeks of flower too. You and Hecno
have taught this old dog a lot of new tricks. Much
appreciated.

Your plants are sure looking good my friend.
Whatever you’re doing is working well.
Keep up the good work brother!

End week 9, day 63 & 64. I'm going to start Flower Finisher on Mandela and Straw Dog this week.
Going to give Anvil and Voodoo another week on the fish hydrolysate. They were the last two to start flowering.
All are rocking along. I took a bunch of leaves off Anvil this week but didn't do much to the rest.

Night Owl group shot.

Jean-O's & Anvil group shot.

Anvil Day 64. Took a bunch of leaves this week. Buds are coming on.
Looks like she'll be colorful.

Straw Dog day 63. Need these buds to get fat. lol
We'll see how she does on the FF. I was going to take her outside for a pic but overcast
and cold. Trying to say sorry for the shitty pics. I'll try harder next week, if I don't wake and bake with the hash pipe like I did today.

VooDoo day 63. I need to get in and clean her up. Open her center up.
Remaining squat and compact.

Quicksand Cookies day 64. Fat buds and frosty.
Almost solid purple stalk and stems (Crinkled Cookies F2 x Blue Microverse F4). Had to stake and tie up a couple branches.

Outlier C day 64. Buds are plumping up and maturing.

Mandela Effect day 64. Buds are fattening up nice. Purple streaks on the stalk and showing signs of a red fade maybe.

Thanks for looking. Hasta luego amigrows.
