Auto-flower power hour!

Post by ripper5 »

Hey all! :toker1:
This is a BDxSD. So close to finish, & the spider mites have come on with a vengeance. They don't mess with the PRs, which are past 16 weeks in flower. They're leaf munchers & the sativas don't have any leaf left for them to munch on.

So, to get rid of the critters, I hit the plants with water pressure only. Then I dried em out good with the fan on high, once dry they got the chop.

sometimes people dunk and shake the branches a few times then hang to dry.

My therapist says I am a habitual liar and an attention seeker, therefore nothing I say/write is true and under no circumstances should I be believed nor held accountable for anything I say. all photo's are paintings

People are born with the instinct to fight against their own death, to struggle with their last breath against even the most unavoidable and uncompromising ends.

Its late enough that it's not really going to effect the outcome, fortunately. Still got what looks like some decent smoke. Sorry for the small pics.

Haven't tried these two yet. They're drying atm. Not sure when I'm going to pull the PRs....soon though they've still got a lot of white pistols, but they'll probably always have them.

One of the PRs been chopped. Other two are going soon. Good timing because I'm just about out of the autos & bubbalicious stashes. Just as they were becoming nice & cured.


So in retrospect, both of the auto strains have a strong diesel fuel aroma. The Big Blue marries that with cool subtle blueberry hints, but not full on flavor. The Golden Gorilla marries the diesel with a skunky piney flavor.
I definitely prefer to grow regular photo crops, rather than auto, and I prefer not to do them at the same time. That being said, I feel they have a place for instance, outside early and or double harvest. Also possible window grow/ small scale summer grow?

I can already affirm that these latest two regular strains - BDxSD and WCx4dd, are much more to my liking.
:volcano:

This Panama Red heirloom variety is a dead ringer for the good shit back in the dayz of imported. Milk chocolate flavor giving way to spicy dragon skin flavor. It's all about the high though. Noticeable absence of cbds, clear, soaring, slightly edgy, not as heavy as today's typical but more spacy. I really enjoy it. :rollitiup:
