Check this out.. So ALL the TnT Strains are directly under the MH or off to the side by just A little bit..

But the CFF3k Is A little off to the side,and just A 1/2inch lower from all the other pots, but partially under the MH but is getting hit by the light without question. If you guys read the thread or kept up with it. You'd know that I also have LEDs and CFLs one after another on both sides of the MH.
But since the 2-CFF3k are not getting the same amount of light, I decided to lower 2-CFLs that are on A 2-Splitter which isnt directly above but off to her left side just A little bit. But the bulbs where still 1inch away.

-(which is how i have some other bulbs for other TnT strains.Gotta change cause plants are leaning crazy lol)

So other young'ns have bulbs right next to them just like the CFF3k do. SOO im not sure why, But the node spacings between the CFF3k are super close . She has the tightest nodes out of everything, and shes bigger then some and has more growth then some..



I like the spacing, not really since I want multiple colas. Training her might be kinda hard compared to the other strains.. I moved the bulbs directly above the 2-CFF3k, but in order to do that they are 2inch away now

Hey you guys, Sorry I usually updatee every couple of days so anyone can see exactly how these CFF3k girls grow.. \

Luckily I was able to even get up today to check on everything.. I seriously thought alot of the other TnT strains where dead. They where dried out so bad, that the main stem was fully limp and bent over. ALL leaves where super drooopy and soft. Kinda how you leave A piece of lettuce out over night or something...

The CFF3ks didnt seem to get effected by the drought for 2-3 days luckily. But the other girls werent so lucky at all!!

Hey you guys, sorry for the lapse in Updates.. I actually had to get my system flushed from all of the Prescriptions Meds I take.. I never really new they could do that, I only thought they could do that for Opiates or something..
I had some kind of cold/Virus that was attacking my immune system, which also made my old but recent pneumonia that im still taking meds for start to come back.. It makes sense though, Since ive been so out of breath,tired,coughing the load of stuff out, and feeling like I also had the flu or something...
Im not exactly sure what they did, but because I take ALOT of medications for pain,muscle spasms,nerve damage,anxiety, and sleep. All of that wasnt helping my immune system at all, they where actually making sure my immune system couldnt bounce back without some help..


So now thats' done lets ge this update started...
I really think that the few days I forgot/couldn't water everybody, really damaged them. The CFF3k are in the same flower FFOF Soil as everybody else, but her leaves are still drooping a little? Im not sure whats going on.. Afterr I flushed everything, all the girls picked up, and the growth on this CFF3k girl in the Smart Pot is pretty intense haha..

This pic was taken seconds after I watered them.. ITs still weird that she was one o fthe last to pop her head out of the soil... But she is now he biggest without question, but the shortest, and has awesome secondary growth.

CFF3k- 27days and 18days from seed.



Take A look at the big Girls undergrowth.



Its almost making me think that her leaves are actually to big to hold her self up.. She was doing this before but got better in time, without me really moving her or changing anything...
Im still kinda deciding on whether or not to train her now or top her now, or do both lol... But for some reason, shes making me think shes gonna start flowering pretty soon, even though shes under 24/0 lighting lol...

True autoflowers can show sex in 24/0 light....due to genetic characteristics. That's just what autos/semi autos do. Preferably needing minimal dark period (4, 6, or 8 hrs) for uptake of nutrients and "rest" before next light schedule.Certain hormonal and metabolic processes do occur in darkness, and that allowing your plants to have a “rest” at night-time leads to overall increased health and vigor.

As autoflowering plants are not dependent on changes in the light cycle to commence flowering, they can successfully be grown using a lighting cycle of anything from 16/8 to 24/0 compared to 12/12 lighting to induce flowering for photoperiod cannabis. Many growers cultivate their autos under a 24/0 regime; however anything over 18/6 is overkill (we've grown enough to see it's effect) and that electricity costs can be reduced with no reduction in final yield if following this regime.


Some will dispute the autos needing darkness for a period of time (usually 1/4 of their light cycle)....I'll leave it to individualistic grow techniques. We've done comparisons and no appreciative differences between 18/6, 20/4, 24/0....other than electric consumption. We prefer using 20/4 or 18/6.

Oh I totally believe that.. I actually turn the mh off for 4 hours but keep the LED and CFL bulbs on for 24/0.. So I thought even running those bulbs on, it would help the elec bill a little by turning the mh off..

Yeah I read up on autoflowering.. the reason why I kinda seemed to be in shock was cause that woulda kinda screwed up the plans/schedule I had for them haha..I do think that some dark time is needed for everything in the plant to basically take a rest.. As long as the lights are on they use a lot of energy for photosynthesis and all the other functions it has..
I'm pretty dang sure a plant under a schedule that has dark time must perform some type of action better then a plant that doesn't.. No matter how minuscule that action is.. Even the stomata close up and take a rest when it's night time, so that has to mean a lot of other working parts rest as well, right?

Or I could be completely wrong , and look like an idiot... I'd be pretty happy if she doesn't start flowering though.. Atleast not for now, so she can grow enough to get a decent harvest out of..

im with arid on this one... 18/6 is best for all, costs and the plant..
also gives healthiest plants... from my notes i remember 20/4 beeing the most ideal light regime for vegging photos... giving the best yield

Sorry I yhavent been able to really chat about these girls.. Been really busy with my Work Case and PT and all that good stuff..

Right now I ant decide on whether or not to top them? I think the older 1 is to big already to top , but I should be able to top the younger one. The younger one will also be put into her 3Gal Smart Pot tomorrow.

The leaves that where previously damaged, are of course still damaged. But everything else seems to be growing fine. I think its almost about time for the big girl to be thrown outside? What do you guys think?

CFF3k



Look at the secondary/undergrowth on this girl. Its crazy!! None of the other TnT strains are like this.

[Dakine]

Oh alright, so I think ill be working on the veg area then lol.. Right now its 24/0 because im to lazy to finish putting up the sliding doors haha!! I've already put up the tracks and another pole to hang A black curtain inside of the area to be A second defense against any light leaks. So basically I just gotta put the Doors on and check for anything else that needs to be done.

Once thats finished ill be able to switch to 18/6!

[Dakine]

So I just transplanted the CFF3k Runt into Her 3Gal Smart Pot that she will finish in.. Shoulda transplanted her about 1week ago lol. She was ALMOST fully rootbound.. Her Roots did look nice and healthy though!
She was transplanted into Fox Farms Ocean Forest Soil from a Brand New bag. I mixed 1/4Tsp of the Oystershells into the 3gallons of FFOF soil that I used for the transplant.
