Well I was kinda jealous of all you guys out in the sunshine, so I thought I would give a update, shaved their legs the other day, well on their way now. I think today is around 50 days, don’t quote me, ha
The tall one is a purple punch auto.

Almost like the Terracotta Warriors of Autoflowers - so uniform and stoic.
The indoor Ogreberry's are rockin'!!!!

Monday morning, watering. The girls are looking very happy, today we will introduce 1/4 strength flower nutrient, defoliation took very well, overall I expected little variation in Twenty20 gear they tend to run their lines longer than most breeders pretty stable. Studying the plants I have noticed a few early calcium spots on one, I feel they are a bit heavy feeders on calcium, hence the introduction of flowering nutrients.
I was asked why I wouldn’t just give them Cal/Mag?
First identifying the exact issue would be better than giving them something in general like Cal/Mag. The plants always are the boss, they tell you what is going on, close attention to leaves and growth can give you immense insight into the health of the plant. I do not use Cal/Mag I believe it’s a band aid, that lets you ignore the real problem.
Root bio, the biosphere where the roots live is the where most problems occur. The plant from day one is establishing their very own root bio they continue this their whole life, in the root bio they control or maintain PH, and regulate most elements in the medium that the plant needs. The plant dictates when it needs calcium or nitrogen not the grower, plants have this ability to live in different conditions and adapt.
If you change the root bio you force the plant to change how it gets nutrients and maintain its root bio PH, the plant maintains PH perfectly by itself.
Think for a moment what Cal/Mag has in it. If your fixing a calcium issue why give N? Why give M? Then you have to fix the PH it’s going to be off now. So now add PH up or down, do you think the plant can metabolize in the root zone all that stuff you just added to the roots? Your confusing the poor plant, you would get better results with just plain tap water.
In my plant environment when a calcium issue arises, after I have eliminated environmental factors which can affect calcium (light intensity is one factor) I will flush with 2 gallons of tap water, give a my flowering nutrient which has more calcium. That’s it.
The flush is to make sure the plant can have a clean plate, in hopes it can absorb the needed nutrient as fast as possible. This technique does not affect the plant’s ability to maintain its root PH, without proper root PH anything you do will not give you the results.
Sorry for the long winded post, I do not claim to be a pro, just a common grower like we all are.
I’m no better than anyone, just giving an insight is all.

The sun has been treating those girls great, just cannot match outdoors with anything inside, very nice @Trichitect

@thesunnyvalekid ,You are correct, All hail the sun! The are some of my first autos, and I was a little worried they wouldn't do that good outside, kept hearing they needed a longer light period, but I'm pleasantly surprised at how good they're doing. No fuss either, just plain water bout' twice a week, that's it.

@GthaEnigma , short stuff is chunking up hard!
I'll be checking mine later today, might be ready for the chop already. Looks like yours is getting close as well.

Damn.... Those look spectacular!
Great job on capturing the frost as well.
These smell reports really have me intrigued.
Excellent work, my fellow!!!

Today is the day. Ogreberry f4 day 81
chop, chop, it is the day. She is easily my favorite auto that I have grown. She is super loud. Possibly the terpiest plant in the yard. Solid looking yield on the front end. More to come...

She is a glutton for neglect. She got the leftover nutes from my flower tent and a lot of inattention. That is all her and the killer work from @Twenty20 Adam and his team. Thanks for the opportunity to test her out. I am greatly anticipating the dab test. She just reeks of yumminess.
