Another tip, if you plant the germinated seed direct into its final pot, leave about 1.5-2 inches space between the top of the soil and rim of pot. This way, if the seedling gets stretchy, you can add more soil in order to support the plant. The buried part of the stem will be able to produce roots and further stabilize the plant. In my opinion going direct into final pot avoids the risk of shocking the plant during transplanting. With such a short grow period, everyday for an autoflower is quite precious.
I'm just curious, does anyone actually fill their pots up all the way??? 3 gallon pot....I'll probably only fill 75%. I do throughout add a few cups of ew,in topdress I'm sure that's why. just curious. happy growin tokin snackin n sleepin'
Love your channel you guys are so unpretentious and a delight to listen to I’ve been growing for 56 yrs but I know nothing about autos so I’m a noob and your exactly what the doctor ordered keep the great work . Your fun thanks
I'm newer to autos but been growing photos for a while and I've always just put the seed into the soil with water and let them pop on their own. I've been using roots organics soil for a couple years now and pretty happy with results!
I start my seeds in a Jiffy seed pod dusted with White Shark. Once sprouted I plant pods into 4" Jiffy pots using Happy Hippy soil. After a couple weeks I plant these pots into their final home in Happy Hippy soil but first tear off the bottoms of the Jiffy pots. Its worked really well.
Im growing for the 1st time and I have 3 autos going rite now 2 Ethos strands and 1 crop kings I'm my 3x3. This was definitely a learning experience, now I can see where my mistakes were can't wait for the girls to harvest so I can start my next run.
@@charlesbattle9481 RO is not necessary.. a lot of people take tap water and leave it out for a day so the chloramine can evaporate and if you aerate the water the process will be faster.
I been growing autos awhile I just put them in the soil keep them moist never had a prob with them popping I i sit it in my tent light cycle and and all just like if you planted it outdoors
With the help of the Highagain Channel, and a bunch of other UA-camrs . Grown in build a soil 3.0/ 5 gallon fabric pot 1 top dressing at the end of every month, my first Auto W Widow G it's turning out to be a massive success I wish I could show you somehow. Piney citrusy smelling sticky goodness 3 weeks left. Thanks to your chanel.... success success SUCCESS!!!! I went with the paper towel method for germination and then straight into build a soil 5 gallon absolutely no deficiencies. Seed went in paper towel November 29th germinated on the th 30th straight into 5-gallon build a soil 3.0 fabric pot October 1st today is Nov 28. The one thing that stuck with me from all of your advice is the too much love syndrome once you are on autopilot stay out only fiddle once a day. For the first month I was in there 15 times a day" too much love syndrome", as you Growmies put it.
Gonna start my first here soon. Had to follow you guys your videos are the easiest to watch and I want to keep watching I’m not sitting here like I’m in class
Once you germinate and get a your root, dip it in some aloe goop, sprinkle with micorrhizae, then stick 'em in your pot. This will not only promote root growth; It will also make the plant more disease resistant. I also use an aloe floliar spray after you get 3 or 4 nodes, and remove dome.
I've got to wait another year or two to start my own mini farm. Learning these tips is greatly appreciated to pick up ahead of time. Thanks for the great content.
Great channel! I grow outside in phoenix. I do my seedlings just like you do and agree with everything. Do you transplant from the solo cup into the 5 gallon bucket. I think you called it a grow bucket? In the video where she is moving to a new house? It was just a regular 5 gallon bucket with training wires around the sides? And maybe a water area? Where do you get that? How much did your electric bill go up with your grow tent and lighting? Thanks
My mix is 50/50 Ocean Forest and Happy frog for direct seed to plant in the same pot. In the bottom half of the pot i use Strawberry Fields with bone meal and perlite added for drainage. I have been very happy with the results and growth of my plants.
I planted my photos directly into soil with nutrients for the first time but made sure to give them a high quality microbial inoculate day one. The seedlings so far have the best color I've ever had with great growth. I think with good genetics and proper microbial environment make planting into hot soil a benefit rather than risk.
I start the seedings in rock wool cubes, gives them better stability, holds water better and easy to transplant without shock of any kind. I soak the cube for 24 hrs, put the seed in on lightly cover. I have had 100% success with this method.
@@Highigan I am a beginner grower (about a year) and it has helped me. Maybe a good video short series for you? It would be great to see how you manage it.
I intend to give auto's a try as a legal medical state we somehow still can't buy seeds locally,and the sticker shock of on line is a bit much for this country boy but when I do I feel I will be ready from watching y'all keep them coming.

Ilgm is good but my favorite is herbies. They don't force you to buy 5 or 10 and they give you a crap ton of freebies that you get to pick from and are good strains. I'm in the US and got package in 6 days from Spain! That us crazy.
@@viralcompile5215 thanks for the info I'll check them out, I've been really lucky on bag seed I come across germinated 12, had 2 males and those 2 were given to me thanks again for replying I appreciate any info I can get happy growing
the best way to fix "leggy" seedlings (reaching for light) is to put more soil around the stem if they have/or at rick of falling over .. i learnt this from my pepper growing days
Does the stem grow roots like tomato plants do? I've been afraid to bury the stem on one of mine that's REALLY leggy because I don't want the stem to rot
@@lifewithkirsten7670 Yes, in my experience the buried stem will produce more roots. Make sure to leave room in the pot for more soil when you plant the germinated seed.
Hey guys, i was wondering if you could help me please? - Do you plant your seed in the center, or little bit on the side? I'll do only LST, no topping for my 1st time. I've seen some people plant on the side so the main cola can be bent in the opposite direction, but i don't know if this is a good idea for the roots? - When do you actually start your light schedule, for example 18/6? Do you start with 24/0 schedule first while the seedlings are still underground, and do you switch to 18/6 as soon as it pops out? Or is it 18/6 from the beginning? Thanks, love you guys.
I’m new to growing and still learning, but I start in a solo cup, with 1/8 teaspoon of Mykos and Azos from extreme gardening, 1/8 teaspoon of powdered silica and an 1/8 teaspoon of Dr.Earth All Purpose. I leave the dome on for 1-2wks, alternate plain water and recharge and only give them a shot glass of either.
Your Dr. earth won't break down quick enough unless you "cook" your soil for a while before you use it, with your microbes. Organic nutes must be processed by your microbes before they are available to your plant.
I wonder how it would work if you kept a pot of moist soil with Dr. Earth just for top dressing throughout a plant's life (the plant being in a different pot). I might try that with the Earth Dust Ive used that ended up being too hot when cooked in Fox Farm soil.
I’m on day 4 right now, first time growing. Found a bunch of seeds in my weed. I got a tent some decent lights, coco soil and perlite. So far they’ve all sprouted beautifully. I have them on a 24 hr cycle of light. I’m keeping humidity around 65 Hoping to get no males lol
super thrive/ roots excelerator gold / voodoo juice , slf100, just a few drops of each in a gallon premix --- the roots come out screaming :) I soak beans for 12 hrs and the drop into rapid rooter
I use a cloaning incubator for auto's and photos with a heat mat , ocean forest in beer cups seeds 1/8 inch deep, spray bottle for moisture they allways pop sometimes you get a few bad bean that won't germinat 😉
have yall tried the nrw Bloom Plus lights???? oh they're good. i got the xp4000 on tgiving for 189!!!! 301b diodes, and those Moso drivers are great. the XP3000 is right now $199. great 4x4 itll cover, while vegging around the edges.
Looking for something on when autos are ready I got my first auto I'm building a hydro grow room out back but got a couple autos and like to know how ready there 2 badd ass I thing ones a time plant but any way! Looking good gal!
I know this is an older video but if im growing in coco/perlite only and using liquid nutes when is a good time to start watering to runoff. I know to slowly ramp up the nutes but havent seen whenn to really water to runoff since 5 gallons of medium probably doesnt need to be completely saturated? Any help is appreciated!
1 liter airpot will hopefully work a hell of a lot better than a cup, transplanting an air pruned, massive ball of healthy roots with tons of endings. Not getting root bound, ever. I think it'll be awesome.
@@Highigan I'm not here to sell them, but hey, they worked great in small 2 gal / 9L pots for me. Can't wait to try the tiny ones for start. Since the diameter is so small, it'll help reach the air soo much quicker. I bet that quick pruning will strengthen everything early on and bring many benefits. I love your channel guys, my best wishes to you both and have a blessed year!
I water a ring around the seedlings after they are above ground. I don’t get closer than a 1/2 inch and I only go as wide as the leaves so u go wider w every watering until the leaves are as wide as ur pot usually by day 14-21
I am actually going to try watering my coco multiple times/day this grow to see if there is a benefit. Commercial growers in non soil medium water up to 12 times/day. My last autos were monsters. I had one over 4’ tall from the top of the coco and it yielded me 5 oz. I want to beat that.
@@rickschlosser6793 I just harvested 3 sativas in a 2x2’ tent . I tried to slow them down with super cropping but they got into the lights . It was way too crowded, never 3 again. But I got 2, 3, and 7 ozs. ! Not rock hard but still a good high. One thing I noticed is I was waiting for 20% amber but it never got there and then I read how some sativas don’t get a lot of amber trikes so I harvested at 13 weeks. Next time one plant .
@@itmaslanka One plant and SCRoG it. That plant that got tall one me ended up too close to the light and foxtailed. I don’t have access all the way round my 4x4 so using a net makes it difficult to get the rear plants, so it got to grow. I am not sure if it was strain or the ‘hydro’. I have some Tropical Cookies and Sour Cheese on the go right now.
Forgot to say, clear cup over the seed until it comes up. I mist once a day until the sprout is up for a day, then I remove the cup and let the pot dry out.
Great info video ! Great tips!! I feel light intensity is one of the hardest to get down (each auto diff) Now I just put at top of tent on full blast let them grow to where they want lol 🤣 (NOT saying that's right!)
@@Highigan hey yes of course , nice soil, the soil i use is biobizz light mix (a small amount of nutrients in it) so i use a handful of potting soil to plant my seedling in so not to scorch em . I add root juice from biobizz too for first week added to my water . so many different methods as long as you dont over feed or water them you should be ok
Just curious...since you guys LST have you tried manipulating the light to get a little stretch between nodes? Or would that take to much time since yall mostly do autos? I have heard this works well with photo periods as it cuts down on the need to lolly pop as much when you go into flower but you still can create an even canopy. Can't grow in my state yet so I'm just gathering information for when the time comes. Thanks
Been growing since 76,, Don't mean to piss on yr bonfire guys but you do not want to put the seed in with " the pointy side down" , the root shoot wants to come 'up and over', not just go straight down,when it has enough purchase on the soil it will then stretch and lift it's head up leaving the wet soft seed case in the ground. If you plant it pointy side down it will send a root down but push it's head up with a seed case on,you will have a lot of sprouts coming up with their seed case still on their heads,and because it will then dry out and become hard its harder for them to bust out of slowing the growth..they can be removed manually but occasionally a stem will snap,,trust me :) ,, And as a general rule all seeds should be buried at a depth of 4 times their diameter . Hope that helps ,,keep on trukin guys :)
Love the videos, keep them up. But here I have a question for the community. I am trying to get started in growing. I have beans already and they are autos. I have nothing in equipment. My budget is a little lite, though I have patience, where I can piece my kits together piece by piece. I would like to either get a 4x4 or a 5x5. But in case I get impatient what is the bars minimum needed to get my growing going.
Hey, what is your total budget? Maybe i can help you piece together a basic set of equipment. For 4x4 you should have around 400-500 watts of LED, and for 5x5 you should go for around 600 watts of LED If your tent is 5x5x7, you should get a 6 inch fan with around 350CFM or even more. The minimum CFM required is 5x5x7=175, but when you put a carbon filter and ducting it will reduce the fan capacity by 50% so that's why you should use double the power. You could even go higher than 350CFM, so you can run your fan at lower speeds. Makes it quieter and lasts longer. In my opinion first you should check your temperature and humidity in your room, and see if you will need an AC unit or a dehumidifer, they can cost a lot.
I had to piece mine together as I go. I'm disabled and can't work so my husband is the only one that brings in money. Luckily he brought up growing and not me. I originally got a giixer light and it worked for about 2 weeks after sprout and then wasn't enough. Upgraded to the Sayhon sh2000 for around $150. Got vivosun 6 inch inline fan carbon filter and duct for $130 a week ago. Got a vivosun 4×4 a few days ago for around $150. Tent came today. Plants did well under the Sayhon outside of grow tent so we had time. Just got the tent, vent system put together. Added in the grow light and 2 small Oscillating fans inside the tent and a 12-14 inch box fan outside to blow air into the vents at the bottom. Also got pH up and down from PetSmart API brand. I use the foxfarm liquid plant food trio from Amazon $30-$45. pH and tds meter from Amazon for $25. Also got 2 5 gal buckets 2 5-15 gal aquarium air pumps 2 sets of tubing and 2 rectangle air stones from Walmart to aerate water to help lower ppm out of tap, evaporate chlorine chloramines and heavy metals to some extent and all that at Walmart was around $40-$50. Hope this helps and isn't too late
@@Highigan thanks 4 the reply,first comment ever on UA-cam I didn't expect a reply so ty.also I returned those and I'm going 2 try ac infinity 5 gal fabric pots...working on my first grow..really apprentice your channel and what you do for the 420 friendly viewers!
Ive always used ocean forest an never had burn an good for 30 days.. Have a whole bale of pro mix you can have that stuff.. Not for me. Always watching an enjoy.
I have done some into ocean forest with success but then I have had some strains not like it and show signs of nute burn.. Really its up to you and what and how you grow, if you are seeing issues, I would move to a more neutral starting soil, or center of pot.
Started with strawberry fields only and made a hole about as deep as my pinky fingernail. Humidity dome for 2 weeks. No transplanting started in final home. Water and look for signs of need or lack of . I’m good so far as a first timer.
SF is a high phosphorous budding soil, it's OK to use but Happy Frog or a HF/Ocean Forest mix would be better if putting into final pot with no transplant..
@@stangcobra592 it was recommended to me because I’m growing autos. The one thing I questioned from the “expert” who advised me was when he said I’d need to add bloom nutes during flower due to plants using up bloom nutes during veg. I thought the plants took what they wanted from soil or water …. Anyway….. I’ve been adding diluted reservoir water from DWC weekly change plus H202 1 liter per 5 gal pot. Plants are looking very good with autos only 4 inches shorter than DWC photo that’s over one month older.

🤣😂🤣💚
Lol tru
Sameeeee lol
I used to get that from my girlfriend lol
That's pretty fuckin sad. Pay attention to your kids. Your plants won't be taking care of you when you are old and dying.
My first Auto grow. Checked on my germination seeds and saw 3 tap roots. Like seeing the miracle of life! Was very excited!

Hi Guys. Once the tap root comes through do you need to use any light or wait until the 1st 2 leaves come up?

So glad I started Instagram and found u guys on both
Thank you. We appreciate you taking the time to comment. 💚🤙
I use a cloaning incubator for auto's and photos with a heat mat , ocean forest in beer cups seeds 1/8 inch deep, spray bottle for moisture they allways pop sometimes you get a few bad bean that won't germinat 😉
I love your tee shirts.
This beginning had me geekin lol
Keep up with the great content guys very informative major kudos !
Thanks ❤️
have yall tried the nrw Bloom Plus lights???? oh they're good. i got the xp4000 on tgiving for 189!!!! 301b diodes, and those Moso drivers are great. the XP3000 is right now $199. great 4x4 itll cover, while vegging around the edges.
High again love you both
We love you back fam 🙏 💯 💜
Great video super helpful for me rn i have 6 autos seedlings going so perfect timing for me so ty!!
Awesome to hear! Thank you for watching! We appreciate you 🙏
Great information and tips
You guys rock (HIGHIGAN ✌)
Looking for something on when autos are ready I got my first auto I'm building a hydro grow room out back but got a couple autos and like to know how ready there 2 badd ass I thing ones a time plant but any way! Looking good gal!
Will I be fine starting gg4 autos in foxfarms ocean forest soil? Not mixing it with anything
Love the info, I’ve been lucky with seeds thankfully 😅, now I’m trying to root clones faster. Also I bought some coco that had thrips in it !!!!!!
I know this is an older video but if im growing in coco/perlite only and using liquid nutes when is a good time to start watering to runoff. I know to slowly ramp up the nutes but havent seen whenn to really water to runoff since 5 gallons of medium probably doesnt need to be completely saturated? Any help is appreciated!
1 liter airpot will hopefully work a hell of a lot better than a cup, transplanting an air pruned, massive ball of healthy roots with tons of endings. Not getting root bound, ever. I think it'll be awesome.
Started using air pots and so far im digging them, my first go in the 4x4! Massive growth so far!
@@Highigan I'm not here to sell them, but hey, they worked great in small 2 gal / 9L pots for me. Can't wait to try the tiny ones for start. Since the diameter is so small, it'll help reach the air soo much quicker. I bet that quick pruning will strengthen everything early on and bring many benefits.
I love your channel guys, my best wishes to you both and have a blessed year!
Thanks so much fam! Gunna try potting some mephisto in 5gal airpots tonight and run em with floraflex! Excited! 🙌💚
Love you guys lol !!!!
💚💚💚
When you talk about lighting for the seedlings, what is a good par number for them? 4-600?
100-300
Great tips!

What grow light do you recommend?
Where you get your 4x4 tent with all the trimmings ? Looked but was it all single or in bulk
I love the shirt homie is wearing ❤🐱 🐶
I water a ring around the seedlings after they are above ground. I don’t get closer than a 1/2 inch and I only go as wide as the leaves so u go wider w every watering until the leaves are as wide as ur pot usually by day 14-21
Grow in coco ! Big yields ,water every day !no bugs .
I am actually going to try watering my coco multiple times/day this grow to see if there is a benefit.
Commercial growers in non soil medium water up to 12 times/day.
My last autos were monsters. I had one over 4’ tall from the top of the coco and it yielded me 5 oz.
I want to beat that.
@@rickschlosser6793 I just harvested 3 sativas in a 2x2’ tent . I tried to slow them down with super cropping but they got into the lights . It was way too crowded, never 3 again. But I got 2, 3, and 7 ozs. ! Not rock hard but still a good high. One thing I noticed is I was waiting for 20% amber but it never got there and then I read how some sativas don’t get a lot of amber trikes so I harvested at 13 weeks. Next time one plant .
@@itmaslanka One plant and SCRoG it. That plant that got tall one me ended up too close to the light and foxtailed.
I don’t have access all the way round my 4x4 so using a net makes it difficult to get the rear plants, so it got to grow.
I am not sure if it was strain or the ‘hydro’.
I have some Tropical Cookies and Sour Cheese on the go right now.
Presoak pot with floraflex, plant seed. Feed next watering (typically a few days to a week) and then that’s day 1 of veg usually
Forgot to say, clear cup over the seed until it comes up. I mist once a day until the sprout is up for a day, then I remove the cup and let the pot dry out.
At what point do you put your night on full blast? like how many weeks?
Great ending
Great info video ! Great tips!! I feel light intensity is one of the hardest to get down (each auto diff) Now I just put at top of tent on full blast let them grow to where they want lol 🤣 (NOT saying that's right!)
Thanks fam! Lights to vary so sometimes you just gotta figure out what's best with the lights you have.
top tip for making youtube videos .. dont smoke before you start 😂😂😂
great video guys & super cool tips, all im gonna add literally is microryza
We use the promix hp it does contain some mycrorrhizae! And yeah that is a top tip 🤣😂💚 heaven made me do it 😂
@@Highigan hey yes of course , nice soil, the soil i use is biobizz light mix (a small amount of nutrients in it) so i use a handful of potting soil to plant my seedling in so not to scorch em . I add root juice from biobizz too for first week added to my water . so many different methods as long as you dont over feed or water them you should be ok
Just curious...since you guys LST have you tried manipulating the light to get a little stretch between nodes? Or would that take to much time since yall mostly do autos? I have heard this works well with photo periods as it cuts down on the need to lolly pop as much when you go into flower but you still can create an even canopy. Can't grow in my state yet so I'm just gathering information for when the time comes. Thanks
Been growing since 76,, Don't mean to piss on yr bonfire guys but you do not want to put the seed in with " the pointy side down" , the root shoot wants to come 'up and over', not just go straight down,when it has enough purchase on the soil it will then stretch and lift it's head up leaving the wet soft seed case in the ground. If you plant it pointy side down it will send a root down but push it's head up with a seed case on,you will have a lot of sprouts coming up with their seed case still on their heads,and because it will then dry out and become hard its harder for them to bust out of slowing the growth..they can be removed manually but occasionally a stem will snap,,trust me :) ,, And as a general rule all seeds should be buried at a depth of 4 times their diameter . Hope that helps ,,keep on trukin guys :)
Up and over...😊
I use a light soil "Happy Frog" it's not really nuetrial (LMAO). 🤣 Heaven is a hoot!
Love the videos, keep them up. But here I have a question for the community. I am trying to get started in growing. I have beans already and they are autos. I have nothing in equipment. My budget is a little lite, though I have patience, where I can piece my kits together piece by piece. I would like to either get a 4x4 or a 5x5. But in case I get impatient what is the bars minimum needed to get my growing going.
Hey, what is your total budget? Maybe i can help you piece together a basic set of equipment.
For 4x4 you should have around 400-500 watts of LED, and for 5x5 you should go for around 600 watts of LED
If your tent is 5x5x7, you should get a 6 inch fan with around 350CFM or even more. The minimum CFM required is 5x5x7=175, but when you put a carbon filter and ducting it will reduce the fan capacity by 50% so that's why you should use double the power. You could even go higher than 350CFM, so you can run your fan at lower speeds. Makes it quieter and lasts longer. In my opinion first you should check your temperature and humidity in your room, and see if you will need an AC unit or a dehumidifer, they can cost a lot.
I had to piece mine together as I go. I'm disabled and can't work so my husband is the only one that brings in money. Luckily he brought up growing and not me. I originally got a giixer light and it worked for about 2 weeks after sprout and then wasn't enough. Upgraded to the Sayhon sh2000 for around $150. Got vivosun 6 inch inline fan carbon filter and duct for $130 a week ago. Got a vivosun 4×4 a few days ago for around $150. Tent came today. Plants did well under the Sayhon outside of grow tent so we had time. Just got the tent, vent system put together. Added in the grow light and 2 small Oscillating fans inside the tent and a 12-14 inch box fan outside to blow air into the vents at the bottom. Also got pH up and down from PetSmart API brand. I use the foxfarm liquid plant food trio from Amazon $30-$45. pH and tds meter from Amazon for $25. Also got 2 5 gal buckets 2 5-15 gal aquarium air pumps 2 sets of tubing and 2 rectangle air stones from Walmart to aerate water to help lower ppm out of tap, evaporate chlorine chloramines and heavy metals to some extent and all that at Walmart was around $40-$50. Hope this helps and isn't too late
Guys I've always been told by several breeders pointy end up..Not sure it makes that big of a difference? Thoughts..
Just google some images of it you will notice almost all the beans with tap roots popped will be coming out of the pointy end!
I run seeding in Happy then move to FF Ocean after week 3. When do you add ammendments? What ammendments do you use? How much?
nice :)
greetings from Poland ;)
420,how do we feel about the vivosun square fabric pots,3 gallon 9"×9".for autos.
Great way to pack em in, never tried the square pots tho! Give em a go!
@@Highigan thanks 4 the reply,first comment ever on UA-cam I didn't expect a reply so ty.also I returned those and I'm going 2 try ac infinity 5 gal fabric pots...working on my first grow..really apprentice your channel and what you do for the 420 friendly viewers!
Ive always used ocean forest an never had burn an good for 30 days.. Have a whole bale of pro mix you can have that stuff.. Not for me. Always watching an enjoy.
I have done some into ocean forest with success but then I have had some strains not like it and show signs of nute burn.. Really its up to you and what and how you grow, if you are seeing issues, I would move to a more neutral starting soil, or center of pot.
@@Highigan never had an issue with Sun West Genetics. I'm sure that has something to do with it. Great company an super costumer service.
Question: If your tap root is 1" long do you make the hole 1" deep?
Just put mine in a four gallon bucket FFOF doing just fine i’m trying to find a good feeding schedule and how much nutrients to give
Started with strawberry fields only and made a hole about as deep as my pinky fingernail. Humidity dome for 2 weeks. No transplanting started in final home. Water and look for signs of need or lack of . I’m good so far as a first timer.
Heck yeah! Sounds like a good plan!
SF is a high phosphorous budding soil, it's OK to use but Happy Frog or a HF/Ocean Forest mix would be better if putting into final pot with no transplant..
@@stangcobra592 it was recommended to me because I’m growing autos. The one thing I questioned from the “expert” who advised me was when he said I’d need to add bloom nutes during flower due to plants using up bloom nutes during veg. I thought the plants took what they wanted from soil or water …. Anyway….. I’ve been adding diluted reservoir water from DWC weekly change plus H202 1 liter per 5 gal pot. Plants are looking very good with autos only 4 inches shorter than DWC photo that’s over one month older.
Good morning everyone!
Good morning!
@@Highigan have a blessed day!
Defo on about 'nukes top 5' 😎😎
