It popped today! I'm excited to try Autoflower and i really hope I have a good experience with them. I'd love to work them into my outdoor cycle and get three harvests in a summer, instead of just one.

November 4th: It's under mainly blue spectrum for the moment, to help build roots and develop a close branch node structure. I feel like I didn't plant it in a big enough pot, but I guess we'll see.

November 13th: She's doing her thing with no interference from me, yet. I'm not sure when I'm going to start Listing, probably next week, but who knows. It's weird, not up-potting, or taking off the top two leaves each time they're big enough.

November 26th: She's definitely showing her sex, these days. I did some low-stress training and removed a couple shade leaves. I've been hitting her with some 3-1-2 foliar spray mixes I've been brewing up and think I might want to start adding an extra day in between sprays.

December 3rd: Looks like Bruce decided to start flowering. So, here we go! I haven't any trouble with this cultivar so far. I was hoping it would veg for another couple weeks, but oh well.

December 10th: Still just letting her grow. I started giving it 1-2-1 compost tea. Hopefully, it will help the buds grow a bit bigger. I call it poop juice because it has an interesting funk to it.

December 17th: This thing is getting frosty, and quick! Three weeks into flower and it already has bigger buds than the crescendo did after 7 weeks. It's starting to put off a funk, but I can't quite describe it yet...

December 24th: She's doing good. Really, really good. Props and many thanks to Ganja Farmer for sending me these seeds! Hands down the frostiest nugs grown in my rooms so far. Keep up the good genetics, Ganja Farmer! It's looking like each branch might end up being straight buds, so that's pretty cool.

January 1st: Still waiting on trichomes to mature and that's about it. Starting to give it only water. I've cut out all feedings and calmag at this point, so it's onto the waiting game.

January 9th: She's sooo close. Like, really, really close. So close, I could almost taste those white nuggets already! She's probably going to get chopped before the 16th. I thought I'd throw up some pics of her in ugly time, just because it's exciting to me.

January 16th: I can't believe she's still holding on. I haven't been able to give this plant more water than 1/10th of a liter at a time over the past week and a half, she's drinking so little. But, those trichomes still have a few too many clear and not quite enough amber heads. So, I'm trying to wait patiently. I'll check her out in a few days. Again.

Week 12. Harvest

Happy Harvest Day!

Smoked some of the smaller buds a couple nights ago, after lollipopping them off late last week and letting them dry. Mangoes. Very easy to grow, but a bit susceptible to aphids. It's the only plant I couldn't kill all of the aphids on, but I managed them well enough.

January 21st: Halfway into week 12 and I decided to give her the chop. She was looking nice, white, and ready to die. 60°F/60% relative humidity to dry, then into jars for the long haul.

Looking good, if you don't touch the plant autflower turn to flowering really fast, sometimes on the 3rd week, if you want a biggest veg, you need to stress a bit the plant, but don't do with any strain.

@Ju_Bps, I only plucked off a few leaves, so I definitely didn't handle it very much. It was crazy how fast buds started developing.

If you've never grown this strain before, be prepared for SUPER STICKY!! It's amazing! Good luck, my friend - and you can always bug me with questions if you've got any... glad to help out with the LST question...

@ernest_twwg, my buddy grew this last year. Or actually it was Bruce Banger. It was some of the best rosin I’ve ever had 🔥🔥 Maybe yours will be just as good bro!! Love a soaring Sativa!! 💯🔥👊🏻

ernest_twwgcommented2 years ago
@Mule420, I don't blame you! it's been an easy grow and i can't wait to harvest it. The seeds are relatively cheap, too. I haven't smoked any of this cultivar yet, so i can't tell you how it tastes or smells at the moment. Check back in a few weeks and i should have a smoke report up.
