Auto-flower growth

Alright, day 60 for the trans siberian, from seed. 5 days and packing on some weight. Oh well, whenever she decides to be ready, I think I will be happy :)

I know you are drooling every time you look at her lol. I don't think I've ever seen an auto produce so well. This plant changed my opinion. I didn't think that was achievable running autos indoors. Looks like its over an oz and closer to 2!

I'm hoping for more than that, but whatever she gives me I will be happy with. Tbh I am hoping these big main colas are 10+g dry themselves when its done. But we will see :)

I hope you pull a QP off it lol! The density will be the deciding factor. I know running with cfls, the density is not there. The buds tend to be fluffy. I don't have experience with t5's. They're better for coverage. I think that density will be about the same though.

She isn't under just the t5's though. She is also under a 400w MH. The t5's are to supplement red spectrum for bloom. She wont be as dense as my next three with pure HPS fr bloom, but she will put out. :) a QP would be nice, but I don't fully think it will be that. That's my goal however. Here is hoping. :) Thinking maybe 90g about though... maybe less. time will tell. I gotta stop driving myself nuts thinking about what she will yield anyways. :)

I think this run will go under the 'successful' column. lol

Haha I am sure hoping so ^_^ Cant wait to smoke my own home grown goodness. :)

And GBOGH; I am thinking 2 weeks until cut. maybe longer. Maybe less. time will tell when the trichs start to go amber. :)

Two weeks is probably about right. How are your trichs looking now?

Trichs are pretty much all cloudy now. I wish the camera I have could show enough detail to truly capture just how frosty this bitch is. Because the pics I have just show it slightly frosty :x this girl is covered D:

Honestly; as awesome as she has been, I don't think I like the auto gene that much. It's great for not overdoing a plant, but they can't really take as much nutes as photoperiods, nor can you effectively clone them. For an auto, unless you have a male to impregnate it, you have to get more seeds from the seed co.'s and whatnot. I would prefer having a photoperiod moma and do SOGs at this point; quicker harvests and each plant pretty much just becomes a main cola. So thats my project coming up july or august :)

I am going to be building a 77 site micro SOG set up. 12/12 as soon as the girls are rooted. I want to see how well it performs in the space I will give it. If all goes well I will be making 2 more and going for a monthly perpetual.

The auto's that they are complaining about are in genetics that haven't been stabilized, or are just sub par in general.
