Mostly making this now so I know what day I popped the seeds haha, updates to come!
**1/30/19**
Both of em popped and have gone in their root riot pod in a humidity dome, I actually started a third tonight cuz why not I have the room haha. Ill post pictures when they look interesting
**1/31/19**
Everyones in the dome and the first 2 are starting to push up, probably wont add any photos until its time for a new week, wish them luck and hope we don't lose power lol Michigan is going THROUGH it right now
**2/2/19**
Added these photos today, they all popped their seed casings off today and they were growing out of the pods so theyre in solo cups for now. Ive got some 3 gallon smart pots with their names on it
**2/4/19**
This is a week after I put them in paper towels to germinate, I figured out these girls will NEED to be switched to a 12/12 light schedule February 16th at the very latest because of the photoperiod plants in the same closet and my schedule haha. I still cant seem to figure out for sure wether or not this will make them flower early but I cant avoid it so I guess I'll find out haha.
Any experienced autoflower growers have any ideas on how to maximize these girl's potential under these circumstances?
**2/7**
These girls seem to be progressing well, just want to note that I staked 2 of them down. The one that stretched was leaning funny and theres one that was growing kinda crooked. Makes getting around in there even more of a hassle but hopefully they wont need it long, looking forward to transplanting! Im just gonna crack some cuts I made in the sides of the solo cups and scoop em out so they get as little stress as possible from it
**2/10**
Just transplanted all 3, one seems to be having more trouble making roots but the other 2 seem to be doing really well. theyre still really small which is getting concerning but hopefully they can stretch out in the 3 gals
2/25
Sorry I didn't update this one for a little bit I was extremely sick and honestly these girls haven't done a whole lot haha.
I started this diary the night I put them in paper towels so theyre probably closer to 3 weeks old but the larger 2 have started developing pistils so Im assuming theyre in flower now. The little one is......little.
They've been on the 12 hour light schedule with my other plants but I bring them out to get sunlight, I know its not the best for them but its what Ive got goin on. Still kinda unimpressed with their size, haven't even really been able to train them much because they've stayed so small and haven't really gotten side branches.
Not too confident in what they'll yield but Im hoping itll at least have potency haha
3/5/19
Sorry Im a day late updating the diaries, Ive been super busy this week. These girls are doing well, training them really hasn't worked much and now that theyre in flower Im just leaving them alone. No idea how much bud they'll give me but theyre on their way to doing it haha
3/13
Whoops a day late updating this one I thought I did it last night haha, these girls are starting to become a bit more impressive. Still not sure what they'll do in the end but I've switched them to Big Bloom and they seem to be enjoying it
3/18/19
Not much to report on these girls, some fan leaves look weird because I didn't realize my watering pump thingy had a lock and these 3 got sprayed a bit lol but it hasn't done too much damage or anything. slowly increasing their nutes and giving them 24 hours of light when I can
I did lollipop them a couple days ago, just took off some really minor growth on their bottoms that wasn't going to turn into anything.
These girls are doing fairly well not much to report, starting to get a candyish scent to them. Not a whole lot of cloudy trichomes yet maybe around 10-15%. Lowered the Tiger Bloom a little because I was noticing the start of some tip burn but it wasn't bad at all. Excuse the few lower leaves that are looking bad on the 1 plant, those got accidently sprayed by my watering hose can thingy haha
4/4/19
Sorry Im a couple days late updating this one, I thought I had but its been a ridiculously busy week haha.
These girls still don't have too many cloudy trichomes maybe around 15-20%, starting to fatten up a little bit though so Im happy with their progress
I did lower their nutes a bit besides the calmag, noticed a bit of burnt tips. These girls are really sensitive to nutes
4/10/19
Sorry Im a couple days late updating this I haven't been home much the past few days haha. These girls are doing pretty well, had to reduce their nutes a bit cuz they were starting to show some burned tips (even for autos I think these girls are pretty sensitive).
According to the breeder they should be ready for harvest in a week or two, but I think they might go for 3. I just checked their trichomes and Id say theyre between 40-50% cloudy, so I'll probably wait another week before I start flushing them. They are getting fatter now though which is really nice cuz I was starting to think I wasn't gonna get an ounce between the 3 of em haha
4/21/19
These girls are pretty close to being done, 1 more flush and a few days in darkness. Their trichomes are maturing very nicely and they've plumped up quite a bit. So this is most likely their last regular update before harvest. Ill add their dry weights and whatnot after they've been dried and trimmed :)
Thanks for the help everybody!
*update 4/23
Just threw these girls in the dark tent so I'm going to let them dry out in there and harvest them probably Friday or Saturday, lookin forward to it!
*update 4/26
Just got em harvested and in the drying tent, I'll update with the dry weight and whatnot in about a week :)
Its still drying but the buds are dense, frosty, and kind of sweet smelling! Likely would've don't better under hps lights, that's what ill do when I run them again
I took them down Friday night and I'll be dry trimming them so expect updates on dry weight, taste etc sometime between probably Friday-Sunday
**update
plant 1- 2.5 grams
plant 2- 5 grams
plant 3- 5.5 grams
Not a great amount of bud but nice quality
12/12 won't cause autos to start flowering any sooner than they normally would...they have an "internal clock" that is winding down from the moment they sprout.
Regarding your question about how to deal with autos that are sharing a space with photos that must be switched to 12/12...
Is it possible for you to move your auto seedlings (part of the day) to an area where they can get sunlight through a window or where you can at least put some fluorescent lights on them for another 6-8 hours of the day? I know the Amnesia's will do fine under 20 hours of light if you can give it to them...otherwise, they just won't grow to their full potential.
Good luck with your grow!
@ChainsawSanta, It's been my experience that sometimes dwarves just happen, regardless of their treatment, environment or mishaps...similarly, gargantuans can happen. You wouldn't take the credit for a plant that grows to abnormal proportions, so don't take the blame when they dwarf.😁
@Silverback_Guerilla, haha I thought my first 6 would fill my space but I stunted a plant accidently and got a mutant that's just staying small sooo….might as well make use of my light lol
@ChainsawSanta, Mostly just good bag weed Sativas....Panama, Columbia, Oaxica, but the occasional seed could be found in the nor-cal sinse that would come around back then.
Overgrown gardens are so much more thrilling than when undergrown...I really hate empty space!
@ChainsawSanta, I just got an email from Seeds Here and Now today. They are advertising new Mephisto strains. Sign up for their newsletter. They have tons of promos.
@ChainsawSanta, I'm not sure. Here are a few Distributers in the U.S. that carries Mephisto. You can also find out who sells their seeds on their website.

@Quexos,ooo nice ive heard grood things about them! Ive got a bunch of seeds thatll last me about 2 grows haha so itll be a while but when I do a full auto tent maybe
Lady is looking beautiful! A strong and healthy plant! Great job. I'm growing one of these ladies myself although a few weeks behind. This diary got me excited. Keep doing what your doing and best of luck with the rest of your grow.
@Denzul, Yeah, these girls are in a closet with photos that are flowering tho so unless Im home and feel like getting them out in some light and protect them from my cats they only get 12 hours haha. I think they just finished stretching tho so now theyre just focusing on those buds!
Yeah just let her grow. She will work out fine.
I have been told to leave autos alone. If you have any more of these seeds, try growing one with little/no interference. Just water it, trim it lightly, and add nutes when you think its necessary.
@Quexos, Yep all my seeds so far have come from them haha. I had 6 seeds before these diaries that all died like a day after germinating it was super weird so they gave me a bunch of points..
A few months later I think I figured out what it was and it was probably my fault but still haha they'll be fine
@ChainsawSanta, Sweet! Lotsa options for the future. You can easily top your photos when you get them going. Did you order from Seedsman? Last time I ordered from them I got about a dozen free beans.
@Quexos, yeah if I can get my hands on some mephisto seeds I might top them, but I don't think ill be trying that for a while. I got a whole bunch of photo seeds when they were on sale and used points so I basically got 25 for free haha
There isn't an awful lot you can do for these little kids. They need 18-20 hrs of good sunlight to be worth a damn. They'll still flower. I have not idea what kinda yield you are going to get.
Have you ever built a space bucket grow container? You should look it up. That might be a great alternative for these little autos.
@ChainsawSanta, If you look at my 3 B's grow, it has a lot of pictures that show how to build the space bucket. My first plant started out in one due to cost. I also used https://www.reddit.com/r/SpaceBuckets/

@Quexos,Thanks! Yeah things are starting to settle down, and these girls are starting to beef up a liiiiittle bit lol. Hopefully the higher doses of nutes help them fatten up a little bit.
Also I thought these girls were done stretching but I was looking at the photos from last week and I think they did stretch a bit more so hopefully now theyre gonna put more energy in their buds
Sorry yall things are going well, I got a bad case of both the stomach flu and the regular flu so I've mostly been sleeping for over a week now haha. Expect updates Monday!
