Hi
Season started few weeks earlier this year, the weather is just wonderful.
From three weeks the sun is shining every day, almost no rain. The
temperatures are higher everyday, so we have to start germiniation process
I will have about 10-15 spots. Where I look for nice places? The
deepest bushes in the area, near rivers, ponds, lakes. I'm choosing the
best places with the best soil and hard access to undesirable guests. My
spots are located 5-50 kilometeres from home, but I'm not excluding
exploration of further areas.

Seeds:

5 x White Snow AF (FEM) [White Russian AF x Lowsnow]
40 x White Dwarf F2
30 x Great White Shark AF F2
20 x Masterlow F2
40 x Auto Ak47 F2

I'm waiting for about 70 seeds of

Early Wonder Skunk x Mitymite
Dynomite x Mitymite


It gives 200 regular + 5 fem seeds. Everyone is AF. I'm still in need of seeds, because I planned to make about 300-400 autoflowers this season. Unfortunately there is too late to launch hps and just make more seeds. Btw. I've bought mdanzig's blue streak and will choose the best male and pollinate the girls to make some f2's

Except autoflos I'll have non-AF plants this year too.

pics soon
cheers

200+ huh. Going to have your hands full, bunch of plants to look after. But the rewards should be interesting. Good Luck, will be watching. Oh yeah plz post pics eventually. I want to see.

while it may seem like alot of plants, they should be pretty simple to maintain. they will be done and hangin up by first of july, and as long as they see the sun, and you keep em watered or it rains once a week, they should do well. good luck :smile: lots of guys givin the autos a real college try this year. should be interesting to see how they work out.

Micro420, as Mr.Stinky said AF's are much easier to maintain than non-AF's. The life cycle is shorter, and that's one of the biggest advantages of them.


I think that autoflowerings are one of the best way for quick-crop on northern latituteds too. I'm on 51N. They will be growing in the best direct sun, so the buds should be chunky. I'm planning to sow more of them after 8 May. Until 16 July I should have finished plants. They will start vegging on may, then june & july for flowering. I think that each plant should give about 20-30g of dry bud. Maybe more

I'll be tagged up for this. 200 AF's should be a fun time. I'll be running a few AF's outdoor this year as well,

Good luck ChaosX!

Good luck.. can't wait to see how a decent sized AF outdoor grow turns out.

Have you considered staggering germination to make harvest easier? So you can harvest 1/3 one week.. other 1/3 following week... then last 1/3 ?

Which reminds me... Does anyone know how long, on average, it takes from seed to harvest? I know breeders say 8-10 weeks, but does anyone have a number from previous harvests? I'll be away for a week during the summer and am trying to figure out when approximately I should start my grow, as I don't want to let 'em 'over ripen.'

Last ones I grew(ML) I harvested day 76(just to see if potency improved) from seed, day 70, and day 65, all were equal potency. All from the day the seed poked above ground.

The one thing I did notice is running it the 70-76 days the flavor and high seemed slightly better than day 65.

Peace
