You could supercrop that Critical Punch as much as you need to keep her the same height as the rest. It doesn't retard bud development in the slightest..just changes the shape of the buds.

Gratz on finishing the grow! This strain sure finishes fast! The Dark Devil strain is even faster. I'm still getting used to these autos and their flowering schedule. It's a pain in the ass figuring out a nutes schedule.

@Silverback_Guerilla, I doubt my DD will make it 70 days. I might try to extend it out to get some nice amber trichs. The Amensia is starting to look done, but I'm pretty sure she has 4 weeks. Harvesting plants at 12 weeks takes some getting used to, but I'll take it if the bud is really good. I thought I did a pretty good job picking strains that grew well together. 3/4 are about the same height, structure, and development. The Critical Punch is the oddball. I don't know what to do about her. I have a buddy who grows outdoors. As far back as I can remember he's grown the same 3 strains. Tasty as hell, but he's set in his ways.

@Quexos, Thanks! Ya, I'm really kinda surprised that the Amnesia finished before the Candy Canes.. The last two times I grew Candy Cane it was done in 63 and 65 days, which is what this Amnesia took(65)...but I do have one Candy Cane slated for execution on the day after tomorrow when I kill the last Amnesia. I've only grown 2 x Dark Devils so far, and they were both done right at 70 days...so glad I still have a few DD beans! Love the flavor(and effect)! Ya, managing feeding on multiple auto varieties is a total pain in the ass....and trying to find varieties that will have the same feeding requirements, growth rate, and eventual size is a real challenge...I'm actually considering growing a tentful of one strain at a time to make my life easier, but, alas, I love variety.

Nice tent full of buds! Buds have really filled out over the last few weeks! It's amazing how these autos just race to the finish once they get started! I end up having to recalculate my feeding schedule! I agree about the smell. Every time I have to water or move this plant, the whole tent has this unique aroma. I can't quite place it yet.

@Quexos, Ya, I hear ya...I had a half-pounder finish in late summer that took about 1/5 of the whole tent..but I still managed to grow 9 more medium-large plants in 5 gallon pots with her... I had to supercrop one of them, twice... I've said it before: Completing ridiculously overplanted gardens are a little like landing a 747 on a municipal air strip...scary, but thrilling. John Lennon said "Happiness is a warm gun." I personally believe that happiness is a full tent. 😜

@Silverback_Guerilla, Other than lights, it really depends on the plants. Some strains are compact. You can fit a lot in a small space. I think my Orange Critical Punch is going to be a wild one. I could only fit one of those in my little tent, and probably 2-3 in my larger tent.

Silverback_Guerillacommented6 years ago

@Quexos, I wouldn't even consider this many plants with my previous lighting rig. (4 x 100w 3500k COB's, a 120w QB with 301's, a 2000w blurple(367w actual, and several 660nm spots and panels). I was getting very good PPFD over most of the tent, but there were many "cold spots" that were just getting overlap from a few sources at once..no direct intense light. With my new rig,there are no cold spots at all...and if I grow taller than average plants, I've got another 30w of 3000k side lighting available on each side. Also, because my tent has a shelf in it, I have all my floor space available for plants. That really makes quite a difference.

Just put a seedsman auto amnesia down and she popped a couple of days ago. Looks like a pretty decent strain👌👌

@ROM101, Ya, it has a very unique aroma..looking forward to smoking some! One of the 3 that I planted quickly outgrew it's 3gal pot and got rootbound around week 4. I put it into a 5gal and managed to save her, but she stunted for a while. The other two had no problem with the smaller pots, but are a bit smaller and slower.

That is a nice bud shot! Gratz on the harvest! I'm looking forward to seeing the yield reports.I hope my Amnesia fills out that much by the time she is ready to harvest. I've been noticing a lot of bud growth in the last week. I do like the color of this strain. Its very orange! It looks cool in my tent with the Dark Devil. I have purple, orange and boring greed buds! I haven't noticed any overwhelming scents to this strain. Maybe when I get it out by itself to flush, I'll notice.
