Hi A-P (hope you don't mind me abbreviating??),
I used a mixture of fresh and dried, but mostly fresh. I decarbed the leaves for about 30mins before proceeding to making the butter though, did you do that as well or did you put it in fresh?

[AgentPothead]

Ahh crap no I didn't decarb it, I didn't think that was "required" as much as "recommended".

[Lunix79]

I have read about other people who do it fresh...but i will decarb even more nwxt time. Apparently it does something to the compounds, as well as denaturing chlorophille? I need to read up again...i was all confused by butter toast!

Quick update on how things are progressing.

The Sin Trabajo Auto has had its day. Could've probably done with being pushed another week or two, but it was small and I wanted some space.

Here she is in all her miniature glory. All I can say is..this plant is not great for outdoors in cold and damp climates. once indoors she was happy..but damage was done.



She is now hanging and I will report in a few weeks' time.

The Easy Sativa meanwhile is nearing maturity. She has started senescence and I imagine in 10-14 days she will be ready. Here she is!

All the rest, doing well! The Auto Blue and Cream Crop Circle Auto keep growing and buds are starting to form nicely indeed!
I have tried training them a little more open.

The others are recovering well. Still a little yellow, but greening fast. I shall not re-pot in such soaked pots again...

On the right of the bigger ones, are the Phenos. On the left, the Autos.

WEEK 4 UPDATE

So, quick update on how things are progressing....the photos are about 5 days older than today, just for reference.

Weather has turned cooler and temps have dipped to 15 degrees - too cold do you think? I have put a little heater in the smaller tent, i need to get one for the bigger tent.

Crop Cream Auto & Blue Auto (Week 7)

They are pestered with fu*#@%g thrips!!!!! To be fair they seem to be coping OK, and apart from leaf damage the buds keep growing. The plants haven't got as big as I had hoped for though, but I knew they would struggle due to the first 3/4 weeks being outdoors in diminishing sunlight.

The smell is outrageous, especially the CCA! extremely fruity, a mixture of pineapple and mango, really, really intense ans smelly!

Here they are anyway. Photo is them a week ago, I shall be taking new photos tomorrow.

As far as the others go....I sprayed all of them with thrip stuff, but they didn't appreciate, especially the Purple Express Auto.

To be fair, the others as you can see from previous picture had started recovering from the over-watering. When it came to transplanting, one of my bags had a hole in it and was drenched. I put drenched soil bottom half of vases and drier soil top half....

Transplanted with some Mycorrhazial fungi as well...but I feel the soil was still to wet for them, as after a couple of days the plants are looking a little droopy again...:(

They'll be fine I think, but poor things are starting to be quite a lot behind where I'd like them to be...

Here they are, looking OK-ish. they have yellowed a bit since then unfortunately. Before transplant...



Straight after transplant



Till next time

New lady girls!!

Planted another few to start them through a long veg process...started sprouting the 11th. I will get the list of names when i look at it later...cannot remember right now!

[Lunix79]

New ladies

So, here they are:
- White Lemon
- Papaya
- All Kush
- Mighty Mango Bud
- Cotton Candy
- Cluster Bomb

All sprouted, though white lemon i am waiting to see if it turns out to be another mongrel... :-/

If anyone has experience to share on these strains, please do share. I have tried to keep all smallish plants for an even canopy, but any advice such as if they like heavy feeding, amount of stretch exetera would be most welcome!

[Lunix79]

So....sorry for the delay...usual problem...weed gets ready and then i am too stoned and end up doing anything otherthan tyjping!
the Crop Cream and auto blue did well. Got just a little over an oz off them, so not much, but i know why and am ok with that. The taste is delicious though, the Crop Cream in particular, also showing nice clean head high. The auto Blue has been a little more of a final spliff of the day sort of thing × D

Will update some tims with how the others are doing.

Have a good'un!
