Last feeding was today and then final flush begins.

The frost on these sugar leaves goes almost to the tips. Hate to say but I'm impressed even though the buds are skinny. Wonder if this is just an "off" pheno?

They've been green for lor like 2 weeks and it's 110 degrees outside. They need to mater up. I will not have lazy maters in my garden.
I would consider executing any non complying green tomatoes with extreme prejudice.

I've already started on their replacements.
Took a grocery-bought tomato that had the balls to turn red and cut a couple slices from it. Filled an empty coffee can with dirt and buried each slice with about 1/2" of soil.

About 10 days later I got me a whole family of replacements.

They survived and are hanging some fruit, good times brother
They are surely loving the heated nights

Consider calcium carbonate waterings if you see any blossom end rot, aka browning spots on an otherwise amazing looking tomato/pepper

Just pulled two poblanos and two tomatoes last night and grilled/charred them with some recently harvested garlic and store-bought pepper for a salsa...very nice

I spray bottle that on leaves.
Soil too eh?

I use about 2.5 teaspoons powder CALCIUM 96 per 5 gallons of water on all tomatoes and peppers, helluva product that I can vouch for

Been doing so the last 4 years and getting intensely high yields

I recommend soil as well because the only real cost is your labor and water of mixing, the price of the mineral/supplement is very low compared to the increase of yield

Never applied to leaves myself, started with soil first and haven't progressed because my garden is too much work as it is. I am sure the leaves also benefit though,

This is the tard. Totally pathetic plant. It's called purple lemonade. It's done and needs to be pulled like last week, but I've got to flush it somewhat. I wasn't wanting to do this and cater to independent plant needs. By the time I realized it needed to be pulled it was too late. It doesn't drink much so flush isn't going well. I'm pulling it Friday, Saturday at the latest. The rest will be pulled the following weekend after a solid 2 week flush.

They are all puny but look like they may taste good

Gonna run some Autos next year

Gotta find prices better than 12 bucks a seed though
From what I read, and now having experienced autos, 3 gallons is indeed the maximum size of pots. Anything else is overkill. I ran out of 3 gallon bags, so my next batch has 3 in 5 gallon and 1 in 3 gallon. Since the tard was a...tard, I put that variety in the 3 gallon pot. Unfortunately it's also much smaller than the others. Did I get 2 tard phenos, or is that just how these bitches grow? The world may never know.
I'm not going to lie, they smell really good. The Zkittles I expected to be greasy, but it isn't though. The tard is just a...tard. When the breeze dies at night the yard smells really fruity.
Get on Seedsman's mailing list and they offer lots of sales. Usually it's buy 1, get one free. Knocks the price down.

Battle-hardened.
Made myself a seed-saver.
One single tomato.

And I harvested a grip of lettuce. I filled up 3 full shopping bags when I was done processing.

Autos right?
Yes. Harvest is minimal. Caterpillars really got their fair share, but the strawberry banana gelato was basically untouched, so I guess the butterflies didn't like its scent. 21 grams off of the purple punch, which the caterpillars destroyed and 47 grams off of the strawberry banana gelato.

I like this info
Thanks

I think if I time it right I might have a fun auto harvest up here in south willamette valley next year

Normal strains grow huge here (5 lbs + per plant) but they are usually harvested early because the mist moves in.

I'm gonna get into the Auto world because I don't smoke that much anymore. So I need only a few ounces per year.

Please inform me on taste and potency after curing.

What I can say is only one was as advertised in reference to how long from seed to harvest, so don't trust that shit. Everything went 90 days, though one should have been pulled a week or two sooner, but it was a fuckass of a plant, so I didn't care.
