Auto White Russian Grow

[OldHippieChick]

Thanks for the reply. That's too tall for what I intend to do. I would love to find a very potent strain of autoflower that didn't get any taller than 18 inches maximum, regardless of how well it's grown.

Do you know of one like that?

I got some free seeds with my order called Short Stuff #1 - the site says they grow 10-15" tall... but on the potency it says 7 out of 10.

Do you have a link to any pics of it? Which place would be the best to buy them from? I don't want femmed seeds.

Here's the list.
I have not grown any of them so have no suggestions.

Just a small update. Not feeling too well so no pics right now, too lazy! haha. But just checked the trichs and looks like most are beginning to get cloudy. I am gonna chop at 9 weeks (11/21) no matter what b/c I am going out of town for the Thanksgiving holidays. The way the trichs are turning, it should be just about perfect timing. In fact, may be a little earlier than 9 weeks. Anyways, I will get some pics up in the next couple days when I can get off the couch.

 

[225smokestack]

Decided to get up and post some. haha. Some pics at 53 days. Oh so close!

looking good smokestack not long now how long till you chop her and can do this :joint:

 

[225smokestack]

I haven't really decided. Next Saturday at the latest. Possibly as soon as a week from today.

 

[225smokestack]

Hey guys. Just want a quick update before tomorrow. She is in the tent and after the lights turned off last night, they were off for good on this grow. I am letting her sit in the dark about 36 hours, or til I wake up tomorrow to trim and chop! I wish I could have let her go a little bit longer, but I am going out of town for the holidays in a week, and I would like some smoke for the trip! The trichs are mostly cloudy, and a lil amber. Anyway, some pics of her in the tent and will update tom as the chop-chop happens :hubba:

Congrats - lovely.
Sad news here - I killed my 10 autos in germination. A humbling experience. I'm trying again with some freebee short stuff autos (the ones Hamster said weren't worth the bother) and some white widows. Not giving up.
Please give a weight and smoke report and have a safe trip.

 

[225smokestack]

Sorry to hear about your beans OHC! What happened exactly? And I will def give a weight and smoke report when the time comes.

 

[fruity86]

looking good man whens the next grow starting and happy harvest

 

[225smokestack]

Well I will be purchasing some new beans fairly soon, so I will start right back up when those arrive. Prolly after Thanksgiving sometime. I think I will be getting Auto Blueberry Kush and RRF (thanks to HL's advice).

Good luck on the rest of your grow, it is looking GREAT!

 

[225smokestack]

Well, I could not wait haha. I figured, a few hours earlier couldn't hurt! So, I chopped her. Glad I got my first grow and harvest under my belt! It feels good, now I can't wait to smoke it! Anyways. Thanks to all that followed along and gave advice. I really appreciate it! It won't be long til I begin a new GJ with the strains mentioned above. Can't wait! Hope yall enjoy the :watchplant:

Nice looking harvest smokestack...try to let them hang in a closet for as long as you can...I know you are going on vacay soon but gve them as long as you can...quick dried smoke is ok but you will be a lot happier with it if you let it dry on it's own...congrats...

Oh no OHC....what happened?

 

[225smokestack]

Yea. I am leaving next Tuesday, so it will be right at a week hanging in there to dry. I assume most if not all the buds will be close to completely dry.

225smokestack and Hamster....

Well obviously I somehow wrapped my brain around some really wrong ideas. I did the paper towel and was soooooo excited the following AM when I saw some definate tap root action. But I had it in my head to expect a 1/2" tap root and so I pull out the old tape measure and my lil bundles of joy were more like 1/16th of an inch long..... so I wrapped them back up expecting in time they would grow.... I even read more than once this germination process could take up to 4-5 days. So day after day after day (is that 4-5 yet?) I waited and nada. On the 5th day the mini taps were yellowing and I freaked and stuck them in jiffy pucks and waited..... waited ...... waited..... frantically sending out messages and reading all around the net and other GJs here.

Eventually I decided I shoulda just followed my gut instinct instead of others experiences or posts.... I also found a page of germination instructions that said 1/16" of an inch.... and a GJ here that said she planted at 1/2cm. (thats 1/10") and I got some feedback that suggested maybe my jiffy pucks had a bad moisture to oxygen ratio and I should try the rapid rooter plugs.

To test my new old theory I dropped 11 crap 3 y o bag seeds in water and within 24 hrs I had two tiny taps - same exact size as the autos I'd just burried. I once again used the jiffy pucks cause that's what I had and exactly 48 hrs later both crap seeds had sprouted....

So here I sit right at 24 hrs in the paper towels with 5 of those short stuff freebees and 5 more white widows. TBH I know one of the free is to young - it was tiny and blond. I see some action but not quite what I need so crossing fingers that this time tomorrow AM I'll have a respectable 1/16 - 1/10" tap root. Rapid rooter plugs are ready and dome is at a proper temp.... I feel like such a drama queen cause I took it hard.... but what's an ol hippie to do cept dust off and keep going. It's not like I'm ever gona quit.

OHC I am so sorry....I know how bad that must hve sucked.Yeah once I see a sign of a taproot I put them in the growing medium right away...but I love the fact that you went back and tried again with bag seed just to see if your gut was right... very cool...I wld hve done the same thing. At least now you know the proper way to germ seeds...as for those Short Stuff they are not all that bad... I am just spoiled... I hve gotten used to the to the more potent autos and kinda gve SS a bum rap. They grow pretty well they just don't pack on 2 ounces a plant and the high is good but not 1 or 2 hits and you can't remember why you are in the bathroom even though your bladder is full... They are actually a very good strain for someone just getting their feet wet...GREEN MOJO for your beans...
