Quite simply, the purpose of this post is to reveal the results of the final weigh in.
The name of this thread says it all, I'm looking for a big haul and I am very happy with the results........
Think Different 4.29oz (121.62g)
Night Queen 4.56oz (129.27g)
Toofless Alien 8.44oz (239.27g)
Daiquiri Lime 13.38oz (379.32g)
making a grand total of 30.67oz (869.48g) not bad at all, the majority of it is what I would call grade A.....big hard solid sparkly nuggets, all jarred up with Boveda 62s.
I don't even know which one I am looking forward to smoking most of all..... probably the Night Queen (cos it is so heavy) and this crop is very dank and sticky. My best result for a Night Queen was 9.95oz, so this was way less but still a good amount, and I will keep it all for myself - the Wife can't cope with it!).
Toofless Alien was superb, my previous one was 7.23oz. A test smoke was deliciously sugary sweet on the lips, so over 8oz is a great harvest.
Finally the Lime.... 13.38oz is not my best (17.85oz) but WOW 13 plus ounces off a single Auto is perfect.... pungent citrus sticky bud!
So that's it really, 4 Auto plants gave me a BIG haul of 30 ounces, I just wanna thank everyone for coming over all that way to see my grow and putting up with all my ramblings.
I'm gonna pack everything away for the impending house inspection and visit from my Mum in a months time, but intend to get cracking the moment she takes off!
Thanks to Dutch Passion Tony, I have some lovely seeds to try next, probably gonna do 2 Glueberry OG's and 2 Cinderella Jacks (but I might have to drop a Jack and do another Night Queen!).
Alternatively, what with a potentially blistering Summer heading this way, I might do some photoperiods..... having the lights on for 18 then 12 hours would make temperatures easier to handle than 24 hours on as I do with my Autos. After this inspection, I won't have another for 6 months, and because we live way out in the sticks, I can open a tent with full lights on without the whole neighbourhood knowing so I should be able to keep a strict dark period during the hottest parts of the day and work on them with lights on at night.
I have some 3 year old seeds (that have been kept in the fridge) from the Southern Star Seed Co. unsexed photoperiods, or some brand new Dutch Passion Des Fran feminised seeds..... it might have to be the Dutch Passion girls! I dunno if I want the extra hassle of planting 10 (3 year old) seeds to dig out the males and get rid of any runts to give me 4 viable females, or just go with reliable old Dutch Passion and just plant 4. I might save the Southern Star ones for an outdoor grow.
In this grow, the Lime went to 95 days.... that's well into the 14th week, so vegging a photoperiod for 4-5 weeks then flipping over to bloom for 7-8 weeks would be the same?
I dunno...... but I guess I have a month or so to decide!
