Guest Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 The autodog's first and second grows are posted on the Autoflowering pages and I loved seeing my project on the screen, meeting some top growers and sharing the joy of home cannabis growing. I'm grateful to uk420 for this and also to Dutch Passion for hosting what I hope will be my grow diary for late winter into spring These are the autoultimates above, shown at 7 days, now at 22 days Below, the auto night queen seeds going into coco/compost mix The auto nightqueens are showing their first pairs of leaves now. 4 autoultimates 4 auto night queens most excited about the ducklings These are fems and all three are popping up their heads. Above, my planting kit Hoping these babies will be growing in my garden and gorilla patch in april, cloned if we can get that far I ve wanted to grow these since I heard about the purple flowers and cunning ducks foot leaves which I believe should blend in with the shapes of the native plants round my garden. I ordered these and the autoultimates direct from DP and paid the extra for the uber courier service, swift efficient. The auto night queens were obtained local retail, cheaper Here is the grow room Autoultimates a few days ago, seedlings under mesh sun screen. Plenty of space for the autodog to sunbathe Good seein your comments and advice and any random stuff Thanks for lookin, talk soon dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echobelly Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I've been looking at the Frisian Duck with some interest for a while now. Gonna pull up a seat and watch this grow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchPassionTony Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 welcome AD, and I hope you enjoy the grow. I'm looking forward to see how the Frisian Duck performs in the garden with the advantage of a head start indoors. May it be a smooth grow, good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) Hi@@echobelly nice t see you, yes these seeds were desired! Im seeding them up in antique 3" pots to celebrate Are you growin anything at the mo? What smokes do you favour? You re very welcome to join in. Im on a kind of senior gap year learning to grow weed for fun and self sufficiency. Im curious about stuff and like to experiment. The pic above is today. This is the first time I ve done fems under lights and the seeds seemed to germinate better than the auto seeds. I reckon my average germing autos is only 6/10. The ducks are 3/3 touching wood I did my first grow in Jacks Magic compo which actually suited me fine but I want to try coco having seen it in a grow shop. It looks good feels really nice, Even smells of coconuts. I couldnt resist using it for my second grow. Its a bit of faffing around to get used to ph ing and I think its worth it but Id like to go back to soil when Ive learned more of the basics of growing reg plants. Hi @@DutchPassionTony Thankyou for the warm welcome and your interest. Im really looking forward to this cos I love outdoor growin, and I haven't been able to grow weed for 10 years! Now the family is grown and careers have mellowed, now can do! Yes I need a good headstart because I intend to collect some cuttings. Ive done cuttings from garden plants before, but not with cannabis plants. Good to meet you Tony Edited February 24, 2016 by autodog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Frisian Ducks day 4. The fab 3 are looking good and have shed their hats, showing leaves Auto night queens day 11. 4 of 3 are growing well, one smaller. Late starter. The FDs and the ANQs are on ph 5.8 and PM rootstim, mixed half and half Jack West compo and coco in 3"starter pots Fed by spoon every day or two. A mini wet/dry cycle from the off, but not too dry, wet to just moist. I shade the seedlings with mesh during the first week from the 600w dual spec parabolic. Auto ultimates. Day 23. 4 of. These are in bio bizz plain coco, in 10 litre airpots They were potted up at around 12 days from 3" starter pots. Three of them looking good, not too green, and training well, bent right back to the edge of the pot One plant looking paler and a little weaker and smaller than her sisters. Im not too worried at th mo. AUs are on PM Rootstim about 2ml per litre and PM coco a and b at 0.9 ec They were first watered and fed on sunday and then 4 days later, last night. Soon I expect them to have 2 full dry days each cycle all the way through the grow. They drank 2 litres each before run off. I keep the grow as dry as possible, various reasons Sweet tooth f2 13 no. seeds in water jar 24 hrs. Half are showing white tap roots within. I need to immediately stop germing any more seeds for a good few weeks now! I have space for all, and a secondary grow space if needed, but I want to keep numbers down It will take some thought, and quite a lot of smoking to achieve this... dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 hi, some pics from yesterday the ducks are on ph 5.8 and 2ml rootstim till they get potted up in a day or two below, the autos vegging nicely except one of the a. ultimates which is likely going to be pulled cos its too weird these are on PM coco a+b at ec 0.8 and 2ml per litre rootstim. heres the problem plant dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 (edited) Here is the mixed young grow the fabulous flying frisians, just on 2ml/l rootstim, several good spoonfuls every day or so They re just out for a moment to see a possible plant out spot. Its about 7c outside, much more in the sun swiftly back to 24 hour 600w 24-28c indoors Here are the auto night queens. I really like these, pretty little plants. I potted them into final 10l pots at 11 days reasonably well rooted, could have left it a couple of days. I chucked one seedling that wasn't thriving They've been fed and watered twice now at PM coco a+b ph 5.8, the ec at 0.8 is a little more than mains water Feed and water with 3 to 4 dry days between The autoultimates and the a night queen are also getting a little magnecal. Haven't used this before. They are on 1.2 ec. I had to use water from the rain butt yesterday instead of tap water. This may cause disturbance? I chucked the ultimate that looked crap. It was also small. it was quite well rooted though. I only want decent looking plants now Im lovin growing my subbie beans thanks uk420 and @@bill cooper They ve taken off nicely Good wishes to you and your gardens Edited March 4, 2016 by autodog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Not much to report really, potted up the ducks from 3" into 6 litre airpots at day 12 I could have have gone up to smaller pot, but I ve been growing autos this way and the airpots are quickly rooted in the coco 2ml rootstim, 0.7 ml magnecal and coco a+b to ec 0.8, ph 5.8 next feed, the auto ultimates on 1.4 ec. These still have yellow leaves, flowering, auto night queens on 1.0 ec. Look fat and good to me. love em Sweet Tooth f2 subbies. Doing very well, will be potted up in a day or two. 9 are lookin good sweet dreams dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 (edited) Above, Auto ultimates day 41 doing ok, bit greener now perhaps due to regular feeds of Magnecal @0.7 ml/l 1.6 ec incl PM Coco a+b. Below, day 26, one of three auto night queens. I snapped the top 4 inches off this one last night by accident, during last night training sesh. Not the first time I've done this. Although I wouldn't want to top an auto, it doesn't seem to trouble them much. I bought some Clonex recently for my femmes and I used it to root the broken section of the auto night queen because the stalk looked too big and beautiful to bin it. It'ii be interesting to me to see what becomes of the auto clone, should it root successfully. Magnecal and coco grow @ 1.1 ec Here is one of the Frisian Ducks. The plants are nice and regular and very good tempered, as are the night queens, so far. The distinctive ducks foot leaves are very different looking to any canna leaves I've seen before. I noticed roots were visible under the airpots 6 days after potting up. The ducks are 20 days from seed. I hope to top these soon, and to propagate the cuttings. Another week or so and they will go into 15l airpots. This is new territory for me cos I've only grown autos indoors till now Tell me if it looks like I'm doin anything too daft. Below, the Sweet Tooth f2's by @@bill cooper. Going from seedlings to veggies potted up a small size. I'm just waitin while they grow enough to take cuttings,so that I can identify the femmes. I intend to flower a couple of sweet tooths under 600w when the autos finish at the end of next month. Might try one or two of these in the garden as well because some folk say these do well outdoors too Thanks for lookin in dog Edited March 13, 2016 by autodog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 trimmed down to the second node and propagated the tips and some shoots Clonex, Root-its, moist, into plastic bag for a week or so in the shade When I run out of Root-its I'm going to make my own The leaves are looking good so far. Very interesting plant growing with vigour Happy days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchPassionTony Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 all looking good auto dog. And the Frisian Duck is indeed a special, nettle-like variety. Last year we saw some great duck diaries in unusual places, including front gardens, back gardens and rooftops. I hope yours go well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Thanks Tony. Ive only seen a couple of duck diaries on these pages, so I'm guessing there are more on the DP web site These ducks won't be concealed exactly, but set back from view in the garden. If it goes well, then I'll grow a duck hedge next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
