Update #4 @Waira
Photoperiod Strains: Purple Afghan Kush, Banana Piepaya, and High Society
Approximately 75 days old.

They're all doing well. Fortunately, tropical storm "Bill", the 2nd named system of the Atlantic hurricane season, is going to miss us and head out to sea. Unfortunately, I got hit by some spider mites -- the 1st time ever for me. I caught them in time, and since we're not in flower yet, I decided to take no prisoners nor waste any time, so they got a nice strong spray of Azamax. One treatment seems to have knocked them all right out.

Maybee a little red wagon for hauling them indoors when necessary?

@Kyote - we'll they're now definitely a bit too heavy for me to quickly hand carry when the next storm comes along. So you're suggestion of a "little red wagon" or cart is perfect. I did some searching and found the right fit:

No, silly, not the red one in front .... I'm too tall to fit in that. No, what's perfect for me is the beige one in back ... the golf cart.

Here is my 3rd update on the two autos I have going in this comp (Mango Smile, and Strawberry Mango Crumble). As swell as the first entry for my 3rd auto, "Creme de la Chem".

The CDLC is already at a month from sprout so I hope it is OK to enter into the comp this "late", I do have germination pics somewhere if those are required. I am only just now entering the CDLC into the comp because I wasn't aware that we were allowed 3 autos and 3 photos, I thought we were only allowed 3 total/max and I was saving my 3 potential entry for one of the photos I'll have going soon. Now that it's been clarified I'll also be entering 3 photos soon (some from clone and some from seed).


We had a pretty big cool down last week, down to damn near "record" lows for this time of year (lows around 46 and day time around 78), the past several days it has been pretty nice tho with day time temps in the upper 80s & lower 90s...There is a big warm up on the way tho, for about 5 days it will be up between 105f to 110f. So far these autos seem to thrive in the warm weather like the photos I've grown over the years, I'm curious to see how they do with multiple days of 105f+ degree weather and humidity down around 8% to 12%.

I gave the soil/plants their first proper feeding a couple days ago....Alfalfa, kelp, fishbone meal, and some molasses mixed up in a few gallons of water was left to ferment lightly for a few days, they're loving it.

They are all starting to show some pistils/pre-flowers at a few nodes as of the past several days...I don't think they're stretching quite yet but they have really kicked into gear and packing on the growth over the past 7 days or so since the last time I posted pics/update. No doubt they have developed a nice root system at this point. The Mangosmile in particular is going to be a pretty good sized plant for an auto, for a reference to their size those are 30 gallon fabric pots that they're growing in.

Everyone's plants are just so beautiful!
Like, big, healthy, green lovely ladies smiling in the sun.

I got my little Seedstockers' Auto AK420 (Round 2) outside the other day.
Into a better place than Round 1, but still not great.
They are in good sun, but also exposed to anyone if people go into that area.

Kind of embarrassed to show the pic, but here goes...

The water looks like it's pooling, because I had to drop in a lot as the soil there was dry.
No prep. This is a drop and forget type situation.
Will try to have a look at them, maybe some water when strictly necessary.
Otherwise try not to get in the way.
If they make it, they make it.
If they don't, they don't.

UK weather and my situation here... meh...

Have a couple of Twenty20 Mendocino Auto Go-Gos a week old at home.
And more Seedstockers' Auto Blackberry Gum and Auto Sticky Fingers.
May drop more Twenty20, the other beans they threw in.
Need to get more plants going, season here is too damn short.

Rant off...

@Waira , Scratch my other two posts, they didn’t survive… crap soil!
So anyways, hope I’m not breaking any rules but here are my new entries…. They are a touch older than seedlings… just wanted to make sure they made it through!

They have been hardening up for about a week now on a covered porch, open on the sides and are now in their forever homes as of this afternoon… til they’re ready to come down! Trying a new soil Burpee Organic for raised bed/containers with coco.

DIY S.I.P. 5 gal buckets (cuz I liked what they did for the pinky t I grew in one that yielded almost 300g more that the ones in the 3 gal cloth pots) Dunno… hope they do as well. Topped today as well. I think they’d be about 19 or 20 days old? Here’s to trying new things!

Hopefully she's looking OK

Still feeding with canna nutrients
Got a couple bad days of weather coming so I'll pop her in the green house
