So far so good for Nelly she's staying quite compact and not taking up too much room, which is lucky, as she hasn't got any room to spread out anyway Flowering has begun now, just about, so we shall see how she gets on over the coming weeks

Day 36

Little Ellie is still plodding along, she is also in the early stages of flower I haven't bothered trying any of the branches down, other than the first set. I'm just gonna leave her to it, and what will be, will be

Day 39
All going well I'm pleased to say it's been really hot here for the last week with temps in tent over 30° and the RH well over 80% at times luckily I'm in the UK, so it shouldn't last long she's still looking happy and healthy enough, so it's all good

Not looking too good now she's lost so much colour compared to the rest of the girls
I have turned the the Autopot off as of tonight, and I'm just gonna feed her by hand from tomorrow, and hopefully, I can get her back to a healthier condition

Today was the 3rd time she's been fed since I removed her from the Autopot, and so far, she doesn't look to be any worse, colour wise I'll probably just carry on feeding her like I am (every 2 days to run off) the Autopot is too much of a finicky f#@$er

Day 52

She's certainly slender

Day 62
So far so good she's looking much better now and she's got the colour back in her leaves.
Which I don't get how, she is on the exact same feed as what I was putting in the bin (res) when she had the Autopot feeding her just getting a lot less now.
I'm feeding her every 2 days, around 3ltr at a time. I'm suffering a bit with high temps and humidity though, the walls are dripping wet with moisture

It's a regular occurrence and I'm not bothered, not once have I had bud rot with auto's. I probably shouldn't of said that

She's doing ok, leaves aren't as funky and discoloured as they were at the beginning and she's putting on a bit of weight, I may get ¾ oz, if I'm lucky

Day 65
Well, I've had another couple of stoner moments I was moving the plants around after feeding, and I put the big Oliphant to close to the oscillating fan luckily it was just the one cola effected, just a little rubbed at the very top unluckily though, it was the bloody biggest

and secondly, I was wondering why the heat and humidity were higher than usual I had the extractor fan turned right down Do'h

 

[The Dalai Farmer]

Auto Oliphant
Well, I'll cut straight to the point, Bud bloody Rot It was only in a couple of the buds, and It's been over a week now since I chopped the moldy buds out, and so far, I haven't noticed anymore
I reckon it's because I had to switch the light cycle to 12/12, as I have another Auto, by a different breeder, that turned out to be a Photoperiod
Which meant the pots were taking a lot longer to dry out, so more moisture in tent than usual that and having the extractor turned down low for a while I've stopped watering her to run off now anyway, I'm just giving her half a litre here and there and so far so good ish

Day 79

Auto Oliphant 2 (small pot)
I even found one bud on this one that had rot
I chopped it out and so far, no more to be seen

You win some and you lose some, I'm still gutted, but at least I'll still get something off it

Day 97
Finished
She's not pretty, but she got there in the end
Considering the problems she had, having to switch to 12/12 for the last 5 weeks and then managing to get the dreaded rot, I should count myself lucky I have anything at all I suppose not going to be a big yield, but what there is smells really good very much like the Auto Creeper, same spicy, citrusy lemon smell.

Day 94
As for the mini Elephant, she turned out better than her big sis, sort of just a little smaller in stature.
She was quite lucky on the bud rot side, I only found one bud that had any, I snipped it out and starved her of water for a day or so, and thankfully, no more formed

After a quick trim

I'll update again with a dry weight when they are done drying till then, have fun, grow big and stay high

Well it hasn't been the best grow, even by my low standards and what I have is all airy, but man does it stink good if your a fan of lemon, then this is the strain for you
Having to flower under 12/12 I assume is the cause for the airyness and I'm pretty sure the bud rot couldn't of helped much but hey, you win some and you lose some. I'm just happy I ended up with anything at all.
I weighed them both together, little and large, and the final weight was 98g so around 3.5oz.
Which to be honest, is a damn site more than I thought it would be, so happy days

Really airy, but weed is weed

So that concludes another Super Sativa Seed Club grow not one of my best, but as I mentioned earlier, I'm looking on the bright side, the only way is up from here so till the next time
