She's got a cold, excuse the sniffing

Once you start looking into autos and then stumble into the bigger superautos like ''think big and think different from dutch passion'' you will realize that autos are here to stay and the bad reputation they had is no longer relevant with the modern improvements in size and thc. They just finish better. Just dont mess up in the first 4 weeks and you will be fine. Never overwater an auto and dont skimp on perlite. 

Will reverse her as a pollen source for r1's and cross her with anastasia 99 and the auto cheese. Worlds strongest autoflower at 27%. 

balcony was getting crazy

Traded these six for xrp coins. 

Added mulch and bark on the balcony.

Summer 2022

Aweh fellow florists,

How's the outdoor season prep coming along?

The growbeds are now more than one year in the making and just getting better. Theres no comparison to the surrounding "soil/sand". Growbeds have a 20-30cm dark humus layer and are much more "active" with all kinds of organisms. #Soilfoodweb

Since the last harvest in june, we've layered more organic material, added bonemeal, rockdust, calcitic lime and multiple doses of AACT to stimulate the organic breakdown activities. The mycelium growing in the mulch layer was a cool find and a good healthy sign IMO.

We've come to enjoy/prefer this organic no-till approach to outdoor cannabis growing. Reduced costs, water consuption, plant stress and IPM issues. Which means less sweat, graft and worry for the grower that must deal with any problems. 

After soaking, beans were planted in 9lt bags for eventual sexing, then they'll be moved to the growbeds.

Cheers.

You get to that point where your oldest soil bed is your best soil. Dark, alive. Nothing beats the ease of growing in healthy living soil that has been looked after. What strains are you growing?

Getting crowded. Will need to get rid of the photoperiods soon and relace with cheese and ana99 autos. Its sad but ill probably compost them all. They wont finish, then reveg and get massive and out of control. We tried moving one downstairs but its a real kak heavy mission. I also dont want to trigger forum members by killing them all but I need the space and living soil for autos.

These baby autos will finish 3 full cycles before any of the photoperiods finish.

Love it! That's going to be a lot of trimming!

Jip 

just hoping these few actually finnish, the days are getting longer and i am scared they will reveg.

In the tent im keeping the three best strains for clones and the new vegetables seedings in veg until they are ready to transplant outside. Not starting any new autos untill october.

First batch of tomatos and peppers seedlings doing great. 

Next batch in the dome. 

You could make a great pumpkin patch. have nice trailing vines that you start in a few tyres.

chopped the fastbuds cheese today, seeds are fully mature. fast cheese autos all summer long.

This outdoor season I want to grow as much food as this yard can handle. I'm starting them indoors and will keep them in the tent until they are big enough to transplant outside. First batch in the dome looking good. This will be a kak load of work but im looking forward to it. After browsing weed seeds for years I was shocked at how cheap vegetable seeds are. Overstarting the amount and seeing what happens.

Okay I see, yeah just curious. The plants are reacting well to it. And the nutritional imprint would reflect on the seeds, so was thinking they would work nicely in high potassium environments (which is hard to avoid in cannabis growing). I’ve heard many times that the chicken make some powerful kuckas… Which is why I ask, thanks man.  

yeah these cheese autos will thrive in the chicken compost.

So you are only using the chicken manure in the pots and getting really good results. That's very interesting. Your water usage must be efficient. 

I would like to ask, do you also use the manure only in your breeding project's? 

No, with the indoor it's always a new batch of soil with extra perlite and dry amendments. With the input genetics being so expensive I don't want to take any risks with the breeding projects. The ppm and ph has to be dialed in. But with my outdoor, I'm more relaxed. When I started watering my plants less and less all the usual issues seemed to get less as well. I supplement extra calcium, magnesium and silica along with worm tea with weekly foliar feeds along with Margarete Roberts every week. Green grow organics in George sells a 20L cactus mix for R30 that I mix with the compost or i'll just mix in sand from the back gargen. 

Dug out about 600 litres of chicken compost out of the coop today. All from leaves, grass clipping and chicken poo. Chickens are awesome

Resting the compost for a few weeks to break down. Will be adding molasses water weekly to speed up the breakdown.

Half the plants upstairs are growing in only this chicken compost and are thriving.

if you don't mind me asking, what is a s1 f1 seed?

does this mean you're going to have feminised cheese auto seeds? 

  Yes, I bought a pack of 5 Cheese autos from fast buds. 3 out of 5 germinated. 1 died a bit later. I reversed plant #1 and used the pollen on herself making s1 seeds, self 1. Then pollinated plant #2 with the pollen from plant #1 making R1 seeds. So yes it will all be full cheese auto 65 day seeds assuming that the seeds in the retail pack were stable. Cant wait to enjoy them this outdoor season.

yewwww! lookin' fine fine FINE!

Shot bud Yeah it feel strange having big photoperiods in veg this time of the year. Im planning to grow tomatoes in every pot as well and have them vine on the raillings.

Hoping these few on the left dont reveg.

Indoors its just a waiting game for the fem seeds to mature fully. The two old school cheese autos at the back from fast buds are both loaded with feminized  S1 R1 seeds. Its hard watching the plant go past ripe knowing how nice smoke it would have been. Im going to leave them until every seed is dark. 

Its been fun reading this topic

Done, just giving extra time for seeds to fully mature

Which AI are you using @Bay Seeds?

Dall.E, Just apply to get on the waiting list on their website. I waited about a month. You then get 50 credits when they approve you. Then 15 credits every month. Every credit generates 4 images.

Its so fun to play with, used all my credits in one day. I get 15 every month.
