Shite! You think it's a bit late for germinating auto seeds for outdoors now?
nah but I'd say we're nearing the end of the window. If ya planted now yad harvest mid-late August.

My missus ordered me a new tent to breed in for Xmas 60x60x160 but got sent a 30x30x60. Had planned to make auto amnesia xxl seeds using colloidal silver, plants wouldve finished march/April and with drying + fridge time they'd have been ready now

Good evening gents, good to see a lot of Irish growers out there. I haven't grown in a good few years but got the itch again this year.

Growing autos and photoperiods on this one in a greenhouse, first time growing autos and I've ran into a slight problem with one, I'm guess this is heat stress that is causingthe wrinkly crinkly leaves?View attachment 4585367
That need to be in a much bigger pot now. Autos need the leg room to become big bushes well Christmas trees

Is it OK to transplant autos? It's after stretching a good bit from week 4-6
It's grand once ya don't stress em out. Have your new pot and soil ready to go and transplant the day after watering (it'll mean the plants are well hydrated and helps stop the soil falling apart).
The autos can keep stretching until about 2-3 weeks before harvest. If ya have any mychorysae? (I use great white) dust the roots with it and they explode with growth!

Cheers, would it still be OK to transplant if they've just gone into flower by a week or 2?
First time doing autos and it's a learning curve

How big are the flowers? If they're still just the odd couple of pistils ya should be good to go. Ah they're a bit tricky to get used to in regards to timing and feeding alri.
I like em tho, gives ya a chance to add some variety to your smoke in half the time and ya find some great stuff, downside being that ya can't clone and keep a really nice pheno

Yeah they're just a few pistols at the moment, they're a slight bit different alright but I might just go with them in future

I'd go for it so, the size of your finished plant will definitely be bigger. They're dead handy man, I've grown some from barney's, rqs, blk seeds and dinafem.
Dinafem my fave so far, the biggest autos I've grown and some excellent terpene profiles. I've some of their sour diesel auto and an auto white widow xxl I'm gonna pop after the amnesia are done.

I've ordered some of that great white stuff. From what I've read Dinafem have great genetics and another place called Mephisto. I like the sound of the sour diesel, does it reek when flowering? The royal AKs I have are getting worse

Hello all,
Figured this might be a good place to ask.
Anyone know where I can find Irish cream seeds? Clones?
Thanks in advance.

I've never grown anything from mephisto but from what I've heard they're the best. They're a bit pricier tho but that's to be expected. The 2 lads running it are based in Spain and only breed autos. The lads over at autoflowernetwork.org would be able to tell ya more.
That great white stuff is amazing, I've had way less issues and better yields since I started using it.
I haven't smoked (good) sour diesel in about 10 years, I grew out a barney's farm variety on my first or second grow and it stank! Fucked the drying/cueing tho so I never got to really appreciate it.

I've read good things about that great white, added some molasses to my feeding today, don't know if it will make much of a difference, can that great white be used with seedlings aswell?

Drying and curing is something I'm going to have to perfect, previous grows I was too young, too impatient and didn't have the access to proper information. I'm looking at using boveda packs this time around

Molasses is another great one for keeping bacteria and fungus alive in the soil, it feeds em and adds trace elements, which in turn feed the plants. AFAIK biobizz biogrow is essentially just molasses, but it's pressed from sugar beets rather than sugar cane.

Yep ya can use it throughout the grow. I usually water seedlings with it, dust the rootball when they're being transplanted, and then add some more every 2nd or 3rd watering.

It's the hardest part I reckon, probably cause its so overlooked when ya start off. I dry in paper bags in my tent, gets a mix of day and night temps that way and sorta kick starts the curing process. I've heard great stuff about those boveda packs tho!

I'm feeding with biobizz grow also, nó complaints so far, haven't had nutrient burn or anything. I've root stimulator there but I'll try the great white stuff.

I tried paper bags before but could never get rid of the hay smell so I'll try jars and boveda packs this time

I dry on a rack then in to a sealed bucket with humidity packs and burp the lid randomly
