THE GROW OFF: CALI HAZE VS MAX GOM VS LA BLANCA

Mmmm that maxi is looking amazing so far mate, frost on fan leaves already?! Sounds like its gonna be a white out in your tent in a month or so... The only thing that really holds me back from purchasing those autos is the longer amount of time they take to grow... But the extra grow time may prove to be VERY beneficial...

But anyways i cant wait to see how things progress, im watchin that maxi very very closely....

He did say La blanca took longest to sex... i think he said the breeder said 5 weeks? (too long for me) But If im correct the more mature, thin leaved, frosty one is the maxi though...

yeah, that is too long for me as well...as I am a perpetual grower...it's all about the constant harvests over here....(and I was thinking about gettin em' too, but now that I remember the "veg" time...doubt it....BUT that bitch is gonna be BIG & BEAUTIFUL!!)

maxi is the baby she is realistacly only about day 45 from seed and the breeders say she will take between 70 - 75 days which is 10 - 11 weeks so she has just over 3 weeks left to bud up , i see a the majority of growers on the net pulling their autos between 9-12 weeks and get between 20 - 40 grams a plant so it will be intresting to see what my final weight is from her :)

as for la blanca again she is supposed to take 12 weeks seed to harvest which is comparable to the super autos im yet to see if the extra weeks are worth it in what she yields ;)

im unsure what yields you are getting from each of your plants uptosumpn and how long its taking you to achieve this but i know that 20/4 is avergaing between 17 grams to about 35 grams in 8 - 11 week time frame, ill try and be honest as i can and post actual scale weights when the time comes to see if the plants are worth it although me personally i think its about the same as every other auto on the market with the exception of la blanca who takes a couple of weeks longer


thanx for dropping in guys

For some reason i thought maxi took longer, 70 days isnt bad at all.. I may have to give that one a try! As for La blanca, prolly not, but if the extra 2-3 weeks adds 30-50 grams on top of what im already getting, i will have no other choice but try her! And yep its true so far my average is from 17-35 grams (per plant) in 8-10 weeks... which isnt bad at all considering soil and 150watt hps... I soon hope to have a 250watt hps in my cab, which will bring the lumens per square foot close to the amount the sun gives off at full brightness during a clear day(aprox 10,000).. Im very very interested to see what comes of these plants in the next month:jump: Also that onyx under that hydrogrowled light and grown in DWC is gonna be MASSIVE!:wave:

Well all that info is in my last grow, it's in my sig. AND I also stated earlier that I was getting 1lb on avg from 13-16 plants via 600hps...my heaviest plant was on that grow too! 234gm wet, 61gm dry from a bushy Sour60 pheno..peace...:)

thats good :good:

im yet to grow out any of my sour 60 but ive been researching it and it does have a very interesting background of how it came about, i think mdanzig got very lucky being gifted the strains to come up with the finished product back in the day.

autos are very inconsistent you could get 1 bushy pheno out of every 10 regualr seeds you pop so it would be harder work trying to achieve a set goal, look at my maxi gom the breeders advetise her to be a massive main cola with few branches but as you an see from my pics this isnt the case, and if you was to grow 5 of them out you would need alot of space, as stated i only grow for percy use and im not looking to fund a 3rd world country so i can only grow with the space that i have and just these 2 strains have pushed me to my limit.

bigger grows = bigger set ups = more time to manage = bigger risks = bigger sentences if caught = bigger electric bills

im more than happy with just a little bit of smoke so i dont have to pay 10 a gram from some numpty street dealer, prices in the uk are stupid £200 + for an oz im glad im out of it and becoming self sufficent and just trying to get the best out of the setup ive got, im not really fussed how long my plants take to grow im not on some time scale only natures time scale and sometimes you cant rush a good thing ;)

Neither am I...LOL!

bigger grows = bigger set ups = more time to manage = bigger risks = bigger sentences if caught = bigger electric bills
Which is my point to get the oxypots...which would cut my plant numbers in half, which in turn would be less maint...and considering I am only using a 600hps in a 17sf space really doesn't make my grow BIG and my electric bill is only $140 more a mo...So no real hike there......Now some assoc of minez have WHOLE HOUSES!! < I'm not with that shit!! Even though they change locations after every harvest.....

just trying to get the best out of the setup ive got
Me too!!

im not on some time scale only natures time scale and sometimes you cant rush a good thing ;)
Ditto.....;)
Neither am I..

if i had that sort of space that you have got i wouldnt be wasting my time with soil, have a look around the internet and see what people are pulling off 1 auto in dwc and a hps light ;)

my guy war mongery pulled 5 ounces from 1 onyx under 250 hps and dwc and it aint just him who is achieving it loads of growers are getting similar results with different strains however onyx does seem to be the most consistent :)


maxi so far has achieved everything that the breeders said she would, she is 1 meter 10 cm or 43 inchs tall and has taken on a fruity pineapple smell im just hoping she weighs in at around the 100g mark and ill be more than satisfied with this grow :dance013:


she is putting out some lovely trich coverage, ill try and get some pics up a bit later on :jump:

so how are you liking the LED?


im still learning how to use them properly, this is my 1st proper grow from start to finish with my panel, ask me again at the end of my grow and i will be able to give you a better answer :)

la blanca is currently 26" tall and i swear she is going through that stretching period before she starts budding, currently on 1.3 ec ph 5.6-6.0

look at the size of these autos they really are next level stuff in terms of height,width and smell, ive took a couple of shots of the plants on their own so you can appreciate their size, my tent is 120cm wide an la blanca would almost fill it by herself, EPIC

enjoy

hi skotty

hi skotty

very nice plants my friend, the maxi look very nice...
But i have a doubt, the blanca is tall etc...well, but it is really autoflowering stuff? coz i can't see any flower on it and u don't show any pics of her sex....

How the smell of the MAXI?

Take care:tiphat:
