New Grower Take the blue pill OR take the red pill (Dp's Auto extreme vs. Star Ryder)

Mother Sativa from the outdoor is keeping me stuffed haha, gave me around 85 g. but can't wait to try these...just came out of the tent with a small sample of the Star Ryder to dry LOL, so by the weekend I'll give it a try.

You're close to harvest too Briain, beautiful plants you have man!

Star Ryder chop day 85

Morning guys! yesterday came back from work willing to chop the Star Ryder down, the smoked sample being classified by bushdktr as triple SSS (super strong shit!). I found the main cola with a brown tone I haven't noticed the previous day because of the LED light...to make the story short I lost the top 6-7 cm. of the cola because of MOLD! Here's the pic:

The rest of the plant is fine, with frosty buds like this one:

So I dumped the cola (Cry out loud !!), and the rest is now drying in cardboard boxes, smelling like bananas and honey, just checked them, no mold there. I must say I can't wait to try this strain, the quick-dryed smoke was an amazing 5-6 hs. high with a mellow start and a relaxed ending.

AutoXtreme is following her steps, fan leaves are now yellowing, and the scent she's spraying in the tent has turned to pine and mint, probably will wait another 7-8 days. Here's a pic of her:

So, it's another lesson learned...keep RH low! Unfortunately could not afford a dehumidifier a few weeks ago, but it's on the wish list now LOL

Have a nice weekend :tiphat:
 
Yeah man i have had that happen to me before is sucks but you learn a lesson from it, glad that the rest of your plant is doing just fine. I have two small dehumidifier now to solve that problem maybe you should think about investing in one. It might help.
 
Day 90 from sprout: AutoXtreme came down!

After a few days of progressive leave yellowing and, with the constant threat of mold (RH 94% @ the moment, and for the last 3 weeks), I decided to harvest AutoX. Trics were 5-10% amber, OK with me, although I know trics can be misleading with autos.
She smelled like pine, mint, and vanilla while trimming, quite rare. She will dry in card boxes with silica bags inside.

Star Ryder is now on her 5th. day drying, smelled like banana & watermelon at harvest, now it's a mix of leather, tobacco and drying grass LOL, RH is 80% inside the box so will add some silica bags as well.

Looks as if these girls are gonna give me 20-25 g each. Roots weren't that developed either, even though the trunk was 2-3 cm wide, and I saw some root trapping in the original jiffy disc (cylinder by now). Anyone seen this before?

No pics today, (a little ashamed to show anything LOL), but overall happy and looking forward to the smoke!

Report coming in a few weeks.

I've already ordered a dehumidifier, lessoned learned.

Cheers!

Star Ryder in the Jar

Good morning guys, so the final dry yield for the Star Ryder was 28.9 grs, so aaaaalmost an ounce! LOL.

I know it's not impressive around here, but this is my record with autos, and I know the AutoXtreme will yield a little bit more, so we'll see next week.

Star Ryder is ready for cure now, inside the jar as you can see:

Star Ryder and AutoXtreme smoke report

Hi guys, long time no see!

My weed has been curing for a month now... so yesterday was the official "first smoke", both are very potent strains, Star Ryder more on the Indica side of things, the high is really fast, hits after a few tokes, flavour is a little bit of bubblegum and pine, very relaxing and...beware the munchies haha! AutoXtreme is clearly a Sativa high, strong and lasting with a couch lock finale! The scent is a bitter and musky.

Cheers!
