Happy new year! Today at 90 days from seed the lower side of the WHITE DWARF was harvested. The upper part is already in the jar at 65%. This strain was strange to grow. A part the light stress and my mistakes with Ph, the flowers pattern was really strange. Fluffy foxtails everywhere, looks like cereals... Was a pleasure to watch for me but, even if decently frosted,gave a non consistent yield. Also the aroma is quite strange, some kind of balsamic oil. Tried some early samples: weak body stone, relaxing Not impressed at all.

Other plants are doing better, even if they were stressed a lot for the same reasons mentioned before. i cut off a couple of DEIMOS buds as a sample (low odor but smells good in a fruity melon side)

Looking good amigo!

Today i chopped all the upper buds of the DEIMOS at 96 days from seed. Some small lower buds are getting a little extra time. I've tasted a little sample of the Calamity Jane that i've cut and dried some days ago: very good herb and awesome high!

That is a pretty bud.

 

[El Tigre]

Thx Starke! Yep, a purplish sexy one LOL

At 101 days from seed i chopped the main colas of the CALAMITY JANE.
Little lower buds will stay into the tent to mature a little bit more, like i did with every plant this round.
My drying carton room results to be very useful and i don’t have any issue. Suggested to everybody that , as me, has not enough space.

The weight of the WHITE DWARF dry is a solid 16 g of fluffy but frosty buds. The smell improved and as well the high. Hope that after some time in jar will be even better.

I must say that growing 4 autos togheter was nice. I love to see different grow patterns and a variety of flavors will be a gift for sure.
I had some issues mostly because of my laziness, but nevertheless looking at the yield i’ve got from the WHITE DWARF, that suffered a lot during the round, i am confident to hit my average yield until now (60 grams or so per run). And it is an ok result for my needs.
On the other hand planting continually 4 autos could be expensive, so i think that i’ll try to reverse some plants to make some fem auto crosses. But i want to to think about it a little bit more.
In the meanwhile i’m germinating some seeds i had at home (freebies and S1 from my previous grows). Hopefully i’ll steal some time of the vegetative stage while MAGNUM is finishing to flower.
Seeds i had:
- 1 x WHITE BERRY (Paradise seeds)
- 1 x AMNESI-K (Kannabia)
- 1 x CLAUSTRUM (Positronic)
- 1 x WHITE BERRY S1
- 3 xTRAIN WRECK S1
Let’s see what will sprout, then i choose how many plants to grow. Cheers.

Lovely harvest hermano.
I like the CJ. It turned out to be quite a nice one. I might plant mine this year.

I'd love to see your carton dryer. I have a box from bottles of wine. I used barbecue skewers to hang the buds, added some slits here and there for the air to come in and i put a computer fan to pull air out from the box. After 7-10 days my buds are ready for the jar.

 

[starke]

Nice finish. That CJ bud steals the show. Congrats.

Thx guys, Calamity Jane turned out to be one of my favourite strain ever. Smells like sweet lemon/lime (between fresh and rotten) with an undertone of garlic !!! Seems weird but is amazing. Taste is similar to the smell, vaping it is a real pleasure and the effect is a 70/30 on the sativa side. Really love it, even if a sample that I chopped a week before had a more jiggly high. In any case very good weed for me. Even if slightly overdried gave me 17 g.

Hey blueschato happy to see you here!! You are right, I try to stay as “ergonomico” as possible LOL I also liked growing the Magnum, a good strain in my opinion. I treathed her very bad but finally the harvest at a first glance doesn’t look bad. Hermied a little because of the stress, so i got also 7 seeds from her . You can see 2 of them into the next picture.

OVERALL CONCLUSIONS ABOUT MY 1° AUTO RUN

OVERALL CONCLUSIONS ABOUT MY 1° AUTO RUN

I was a little scared about last run with 4 autos because my small tent. At the end it come out to be a good idea, the total yield was more than my average even if I did a lot of mistakes. Dry weight was around 74 grams, not bad. Also I am very happy to have 4 different buds to vape! Considering that autos are also faster that photo plants and the opportunity to run the tent perpetually, automatic could be a valid alternative for my setup. My ghetto drying box helps a lot. A problem could be the cost for the seeds. Solution could be building a little colloidal silver generator to make some auto fem crosses. Cold be a perpetual auto roulette!! LOL The buds, from the right to the left: - WHITE DWARF (16g): weird pheno with fluffy foxtail buds. Balsamic smell, indica high. - DEIMOS (20g): strong plant, low smell on the flowery fruity side. Relaxing smoke. - CALAMITY JANE (17 g): I love the smell: lemon candy with a hint of ammonia and garlic. High starts on the sativa side and then some body. Harvested a week later maybe. - MAGNUM (21g): slightly hermied after been stressed. Good yielder, smell/taste nice spicy. Happy high.

Current situation

Current situation

So of all the seeds i tried to pop only an AMNESI-K survived, so i got and popped 2 AK49 (Vision seeds). Both sprouted well so i decided to grow 3 plants in 6,5 L pots.

This is some days ago when i flipped to 12/12
