Well, I’ll be at week 12 this Friday for 6 of the 9 ladies. I was definitely visited by some spider mites despite my best efforts to hit them with neem multiple times throughout the grow. Luckily, I have only found one looper and think the neem kept them at bay for the most part as well. Shit, I even had to battle slugs this grow as they tried eating the girls when they were still in veg. Despite all these pests best efforts, I am hoping to get about a half pound off of these when all is said and done. Will chop tomorrow….
@TangoNCash,
Thanks and hope your grow is going well. Not sure that I will do autos again next year. A lot will depend on the dry yield I get. If I average less than an ounce a plant, I will not consider them worth continuing as I can easily get a pound or more quality bud on a full photo. I like their compact size and the fact I will have a harvest by early July. That being said, they are much more finicky. Next year I can envision doing one early crop of 10 autos and starting 2 full photos at the same time. That might be a better mix as it will give me a nice, early harvest head stash during the summer and yield me plenty for the rest of the year with the full photos.
