-I used the FIM technique on my G13 Thai SS a few days ago and it's doing great.
-The G13 SS fem is coming around nicely and I noticed it's staying short and bushy compared to the rest.
-The Barneys Farm 8 Ball Kush is still the smallest of them all but that's because it was started late.
-The dwarfs got their last taste of nutes today with a final power combo of Grow Big, Tiger Bloom, Big Bloom, and Open Sesame using 1/4 strength or less with all. I did notice some minor nute burn today but that's ok because it's nothing but distilled water until harvest now.
-The G13s and Kush are all still getting just Grow Big every other watering.
-I adjusted the HPS light for the last time because the dwarfs are growing bigger.
-Temp humidity is currently 80F/48%.
-I'm aiming for a May 29th-31st harvest of the dwarfs.
-More pictures will be added on Monday, Day 50.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!:hippy:
Yooooooooo 4204life...those are some nice looking nuggs..damn dude its seems like 2-3 weeks ago you were just crackin the seed...fast grow man....gives me somthing to think about your about as far along as I am:thumbsup::thumbsup: Good shit man:hippy:
4204life, I don't think changing your light schedule to 18/6 will affect that AF's at this stage. The longer light schedule is more important for their first month. I'll be harvesting my snowryder about the same time you will be harvesting yours.
Thanks VapedG13! :jointsmile: Yeah these dwarfs really took off once they started flowering. I'm impressed with them being that their my first auto flower strain I've ever grown. Man those are some good choices for your next grow, every one of 'em! :thumbsup: In a way I kind of have a second grow going too because as soon as I chop the dwarfs, the focus goes on the remaining 3 indoor plants (G13 fem SS, G13 Thai SS, and BF 8BK) plus my outdoor randoms. It's going to be a good year for buds!!:D:smokin: I'm anxious to read your vape/smoke report on your Purple Kush. I've tried the other strains you're growing though, all amazing in their own right.:hippy:
Thanks for your help luna. I've decided to switch to 19/5 on Monday (Day 50) and then 18/6 for the final 24-48hrs before harvest. I considered giving them 24 hours darkness before chop because I've heard good things. However, they're mixed in with regular MJ strains so I don't want to mess up their light cycle. I figure the extra hour of darkness that last 24-48hrs can't hurt 'em. Could you do me a favor luna, and PLEASE post some pictures for me of your harvested white dwarfs so I can see how they came out?? I've been anxious to see them for a while. Let me know how the snowryder turns out too! So many new AF strains lately, it's crazy.
I really love the idea of starting AF dwarfs with regular strains....c'mon, how great is it to see some buds and harvest them after about 2 months then around the same time or shortly thereafter, you throw your regular strains into flower mode, and another 2 months roughly goes by before you get to harvest again. You could then repeat and have a nice cycle of bud every 2 months.
Thanks again for the comments guys, I appreciate it. Stay tuned!:D :thumbsup::hippy:
I measured the dwarfs and just wanted to mention how big they are so far.
White dwarf 1 is exactly 2 feet and WD 2 is 19 inches. I can't wait to post pics on Monday to show you guys how much these ladies have taken off. They're flowering like crazy!:D:hippy:
4204life, Glad to hear they are taking off I hope you will be happy with them they are suppose to be big yielders for AFs. I can't wait to see your pictures.
Thanks luna. I still want to see pics of the white dwarfs you grew already. I think I might harvest the bigger dwarf on schedule but then leave the other one to go another 2 weeks 'til about day 84-85 to see if there is any major difference in potency or taste.Quote:

So the whole experience of actually taking care of the plants, keeping a log for the outdoors, and keeping an online log for the indoors makes me a happy camper. :D:hippy:
Those ladies really took off in the last month... nicely done :greenthumb:
I know what you're saying about keeping the plants and logs... I miss taking care of mine :(
At least you're in the phase of enjoying your rewards bigtopsfinn! :thumbsup:
So day 52 and nothing out of the ordinary going on. I wasn't able to put pics up because of the site outage but I will add some more tomorrow.
I think giving myself a set harvest date was a bad idea. I would rather harvest when they're ready and not just because a certain amount of time has gone by. I've seen grow logs where people allow their AF strains to go up to 95-105 days and others as little as 52 days. I can say for certain right now that they need at LEAST another 2-3 weeks, especially because I want slightly more amber trichs for body high.
Temp/humidity is currently 77F/47%
Light cycle is 400w HPS on 19/5
Watering as needed with only distilled h20.
:hippy:
Nto sure if this was asked, but what is the air purifier supposed to do for the plants?
Thanks for checking out my log!Quote:

I hope that answers your question.:hippy:
4204life, I have outdoors and indoors grows going too it certainly keeps you on your toes.

Sorry guys I've been in the hospital for a few days...not going to go into details but life has been rough. Long story short on the pictures...my camera broke but I'm going to borrow one from a friend. The dwarfs are looking fantastic and smell amazing. Everything plant wise is doing just fine. I might be back in the hospital soon so I dont know when I'll update but hopefully by the end of the weekend.
I know these pictures are crap quality but that's because I used my laptop camera. I haven't made it out to the store yet to get another camera...too many things going on lately. Enjoy...
hope everything is okay 420! keep yourself healthy as you do those girls and everything will be fine!
best of luck!

I appreciate the words shake. I've learned you have to play the hand you're dealt no matter how shitty it is.Quote:

More pics...(make sure you check page 4 for the first half of these incase you missed them)
4204life, Sorry to hear about the health problems I hope things are getting better now. Your ladies are looking very juicy I know you will be happy with your results. Chop day is what in another 10 - 14 days?
Yes luna I'll be chopping 1 next weekend and the other a week later.:D
I'm going to trim off some of the yellow leaves on the smaller dwarf and see if it changes anything. If worse comes to worse I'll just chop her early. The gardening, both indoor and outdoor really help take your mind off of things...nothing like a few sativa vape hits before working around the ladies.:hippy:
4204life, Every morning I have the same routine I go out to our deck and uncover the grow (I cover the mini GH with some old sheets so the lights aren't obvious during the night) and then check out my outside green house I do this before I do anything else its what gets me out of bed on the mornings I just don't want to. Very therapeutic.
Sounds like an enjoyable morning for you.:jointsmile:Quote:

Wow your already downing your plants:D Wow thats a fast crop how long has it been it flower?? I'm jealous I still have 3-4 weeks on my strains:(Quote:

Hey G13, it has been flowering since day 20 something. You have a little longer but your going to crush me in yield...until my outdoor and other indoor finish:D Nah I don't know, just happy to have plenty of buds and I won't have to buy anymore:thumbsup: Not dissing the dealers ...you guys be safe, fair and do ur thing.Quote:

4204life, They look fabulous! I can't wait until you taste them. I am hoping you'll be as pleasantly surprised as I was.
alls I can say is:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::jawdropper: that girl is looking good man

yep. lookin good.
Dive:stoned:
Thanks guys. The pictures don't do them any justice. I wish I could send you some 1080p HD stuff lol.
My hands were quite sticky and fruity smelling after the trim session today.:D
:hippy:
nice plants, you did very well, indeed :thumbsup:
Thanks man! Coming from a well experienced grower such as yourself, I appreciate it.:thumbsup:Quote:

great cola, now, that's what HPS lamps do - big, dense, buds :thumbsup:
It looks like they have fattened up nicely I'd be surprised if you don't end up with a couple of ounces from them.
All I can say is WOW....
I harvested just 1 branch weighing 6.2g wet from the smaller dwarf. I let it dry 24 hrs then snipped a small piece and put between 2 paper towels, microwave on lowest defrost setting, 3 15-20 sec intervals. It was 0.3g after dried and obviously I wasn't expecting taste but the high is incredible!! I vaped the 1st bag @ 368F, allowing a full 10 secs before I put the bag on. I'm currently on bag 2 and VERY stoned. Taste is a bit harsh but the high is worth it. The rest will dry normally for 5-7 days in cardboard boxes. This easily competes with other good buds that are not AF strains. I highly recommend this to anyone!! 65 days from seed...I'm impressed! I'm going to harvest small dwarf tomorrow night and the bigger one on Sunday or Monday.:D:D:hippy::hippy::stoned:
:vap_smiley:
4204life, LOL! Does that mean there is a new convert to AF's dark side?
The force is strong lunarose....I am convinced now that AFs have potential. Imagine 10 of these ladies, grown 2 at a time every 65-70 days, thats a steady supply of good buds all year without the extra work that cloning and reg MJ require. I still like regular strains so I'll probably do a similar mix of AFs and regular MJ in my next grow. Master Yoda would be proud of these WDs. lolQuote:

AFs will never replace the regular strains but they do have have an important role to play.
I couldnt wait any longer! Here she is, white dwarf 2! I didnt take wet weight since dry weight is what matters but it looks to be over an ounce. What do you guys think of the final product? And this is the smaller, less dense of the 2. :D:hippy::stoned:
