Impressive stuff everyone! Love seeing everyone’s work, I wanted to share a few autoflowers I’ve personally grown here with you guys (and secretly give this thread a bump!)
This is Sweet Seeds Red Poison autoflower (from a feminized seed.) Grown under a Platinum LED Grow Lights P450, in an autopot system using roughly 50/50 coco coir/perlite mix using Grow More Sea Grow 16-16-16 and 4-24-24 and additional Cal-mag. Grown indoors in a grow tent environment (just for personal.)
Vegged and flowered on 24/0 lighting from seed, no cool temps introduced (all natural color.)
Dripping sugars (or what I presume is a sugar, it smoked/taste/smelled like sugar when heat was applied (had to test that theory out first hand!))
A continuation of that same Sweet Seeds Red Poison autoflower, here are three of those drops formed in literally clear, cloudy, and amber. If anyone knows definitely what these are or what causes these, I’d love to know the reason (and please and thank you!)
Not great quality pics, but this is some Lemon Bright OG my brother and I grew for our first time. Had some issues along the way but it turned out really tasty!
He’s never grown with LED before and so I set him up with a 5 x 5 tent and a Unit Farm LED (I’m doing some performance testing for them in full disclosure.) So he’s going to grow some autoflowers and photos under it, it will be fully documented, and we’ll see how an experienced grower does with new technology!
Thank you! I just got a shipment of commercial autoflower genetics in yesterday and need to sort them, I’ll show you what some of the seed packaging and design looks like from a variety of breeders if you guys would like to see them (there’s some interesting artwork on some of these.)
Do you know what causes this? And thank you for clarifying on that, no one has ever been able to give me a reason for why it happens or even what’s it called (the most plausible thing I heard just an overabundance of available sugars in the plant?) Is that even in the ballpark?
It happens when the plants go into their dark period. Their stomata closes and cause transportation to stop. Because of this the plant can only hold so much water so when it is full of water but the stomata are closed it builds pressure. When pressure is built up enough it causes guttation. Mostly water, sugar, and potassium are pushed through the xylem and out of the hydathodes.
Lol that’s a curve ball! but not unexplainable. If your plants are in humid conditions they can build up xylem pressure. Humidity can cause a serious slow down of transpiration. There could be other reasons as well. If your rootzone is taking in adequate water but your plant isn’t transpiring at an adequate rate you get excess xylem pressure that would cause guttation.
