Bud Wiser Posted June 8, 2016 Author Share Posted June 8, 2016 An Autofem growing balls? WTF? This is (was) an Autofem from Green House Seeds called 'Big Bang' - she's (he's!) a cross between Skunk, Northern Lights and El Niño and is (was) probably the fastest germinating seed I've ever come across, just 3 days from water to sprouting! She was doing well, too. Just four weeks in ... and then I spotted these: Different angle ... Under the microscope ... Bollocks. (Pardon the pun!). Start again ... It just goes to show that it pays to check your plants regularly, and that there are no guarantees! I'm loathed to rip it out though, such a waste, so if anyone fancies having a go at breeding, and wants a free male with a nice pedigree, just PM me and we'll try and arrange something. Otherwise it's going in the bin ... one that's fucking miles away! Bud Wiser 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud Wiser Posted June 8, 2016 Author Share Posted June 8, 2016 Oops, just checked the rules .. no offers or requests for cuttings, pollen etc. ... too late to edit, so apologies @Admin for that.

Bud Wiser Posted June 8, 2016 Author Share Posted June 8, 2016 @@Hashmaker6 No way compost heap ... I'm driving this fucker to the Outer Hebrides ... cannabis males can pollinate females from miles away apparently. Just watch the 'Strain Hunters' videos on YouTube ... Morroco in particular. They planted different strains in fields a hundred miles apart and they still cross-pollinated!! Amazing really. Bud Wiser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mokka Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Mate don't chuck it use it. Hopefully you have top quality genetics in the male use it to pollinate some other autos and make your own auto seeds. Move the male to a window sill (windows shut). Make sure that there is no breeze and then you can harvest your pollen.. If possible bring your female auto inside to pollinate her, otherwise close doors and windows, don't sneeze! Use a brush to dab the pollen on the bud. Choose one that's sticking out half way up the plant, too low and the seeds are a bit smaller and ripen later,too high and you risk pollen dropping on to lower buds. Label the bud so you can harvest it as late as possible to let the seeds fully ripen. One bud can produce 50-100 seeds I would pollinate every auto you have and then you're sorted for auto seeds for life as well as saving a few pennies.

Hashmaker6 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I hope you are wrong! I think the weather is forecast to calm down into the weekend and back to hot sun. You do have the benefit of that lovely greenhouse heater so am sure all will be well whatever the weather! Another one ! This forum must be half Welsh!

Bud Wiser Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 I hope you are wrong! I think the weather is forecast to calm down into the weekend and back to hot sun. That's the problem ... wet weather with cool temps and high precipitation followed by warm weather ... without adequate airflow (a down-side of greenhouse growing as opposed to 'outdoors') the buds provide the perfect haven for mould growth. Dark, damp and warm. I learned from my mistakes too ... water the plants in the morning not the evening, gives them all day to transpire and helps reduce humidity build-up under glass at night as the temps drop. In fact I think keeping your topsoil nice and dry (or using mulch/bark) goes a long way to helping combat the 'rot' if you can't use fans in your greenhouse.

fatcalyx Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Hey nice greenhouse grow. Its been a while since I done any green house growing myself, I used to do auto's in a poly tunnel. Never got amazing yields or the best bud but it was all free and more enjoyable to grow out in the sun rather than under a light. Best of luck with the growing pal !

It's a much better flavour profile and more efficient on consumption. The lime you have looks amazing 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
