hcf2012 20 l pot is way too big. Coco Hydro Bloom is less Cali chic, more Poundland value for money. She's for personal consumption so who cares?

hcf2012 Got a bit of leaf burn during the stretch. You can see the marks on one of the big fan leaves attached to the main stem, but ones above it look OK. Please let me know what you think.

hcf2012 Week 7 just watching.the buds grow. I am surprised that there is not much smell yet. It smells a bit like a sports bag full of dirty kit.

hcf2012 Still feeding. May flush at the next watering as some colas are beginning to amber up. Mostly the buds just keep growing over the last two weeks. I am surprised that it not still not very smelly, especially when I take it out of the tent.

Grow Questions

hcf2012started grow question 6y ago

This plant shares a tent with a photoperiod which I need to switch to flowering (it is getting too big). Does anyone know what effect, if any, would there be on yield if I moved the light schedule to 12/12 at this late stage?

Automatics are able to finish during 12/12, even from seed to harvest, thats no problem. Some say the yield will be a bit lower but i don´t know if that is true. I don´t think so, if photoperiodic can give high yields under 12/12, then Automatics should also deliver.

hcf2012 Day 66 started flush Day 69 started harvest, took off the main cola and dropped the light a couple of inches. I can see a lot of popcorn bud and none of it is bronzing up yet.

hcf2012 Been flushing all week - since day 66 - so 11 days now. I am surprised how well she is holding her colour. Being my first grow, I was really worried about the smell but that is odd too. She doesn't smell that much outside the tent, but when shes in the tent, it can get quite stinky. I hope to harvest some more next week. Please let me know how far away from harvest you think she is.

hcf2012 So I'm still flushing and she is absolutely starving by the end of this week. I gave her about 0.75l of water on Day 81 with a trace of veg food (literally one drop) as the fan leaves are getting really yellow. I am currently smoking the main cola - it is very good, I can tell you. But you could shine a torch through it, it is so lacking in density. Hence I am staying very disciplined with the rest of the plant, which is currently nearing 50% bronze. But based on this morning's trichome pic (day85) I have not harvested any more today. I can't help thinking that if she had continued on an 18/6 light cycle she would have been harvested by now.

hcf2012 There we have it. My first grow. So much fun. Thank you canna fam for a wealth of advice. I have learned soooo much. Now all I need is some UK law reform, and I'm away! (drums fingers on table and looks at watch impatiently)

Happy Harvest Day!

Royal Dwarf Royal Queen Seeds

10/10

Rated

Great for beginners, I would say. It stays under 50cm, less if trained. It only stinks up a week or 10 days from harvest. This needs to be managed if you don't live in the middle of nowhere. Similarly drying stink needs to be managed for 3-7 days after chop. Other than that, this home grow gig is easy-peasy!

hcf2012 Well this has been fun. Yield is a little cloudy, but bottom line dried flower is 40.2g (not completely dry, but close) plus the 10.9g that I have already smoked! I harvested the main cola 2 weeks ago. I began to hang the lower part of the plant, but then thought it would be better used in making cannabutter, so there's more yield. Gonna make me some biscuits!!

Looking really good, man! Have you topped the plant ? I have three Automatics in my diary in week three now. If you have the time please check it out and comment what you think about it :) Nice weekend!

@QuickOne, Thanks. I was advised not to top Autos as I was told they don't get enough time to recover. Just LST on this one.

These lady's are looking great I've seen some dwarfs get really big this size seems manageable, I have 5 growing because It said 60cm max but I've seen people say theirs get to 100cm lol I hope I haven't bitten of more than I can chew for my first time 😫 good luck with the rest of your grow 👍

@Smok3y_J, I reckon she could go to 1m, but you would need to get her stretching for light source and no training. This one: the main cola got to 37cm, the rest around 33cm. Ripening up nicely! Thinking about a staged harvest like @cbdbusho did.

hey buddy !! If I can afford to give you an advice for next session….defoliate in this flower stage is not recommended….especially for autos plant…. what is done is done !! it s difficult to be plenty affirmative where i am 😜 but the buds pics you show seems to me not mature yet…!! what do you think ??

@Budofpray, don't know mate. I notice her water consumption has gone down since haircut. I read somewhere that if I didn't expose the lower colas to light, they wouldn't produce much. She seems a healthy colour. Did I defoliate too early? Or too late?

howie03commentedweek 76y ago

Hi! Do you have a fan in your growroom? how often do you water your plant? normally it's enough to water aprox. every 3 days. let the top layer of your soil getting dry and mold shouldn't be a problem. put your finger in the soil. if the soil is still wet in aprox. 3 cm deep you can water again.

@howie03, I have 2 usb desktop fans in my 0.6 x 0.6m space. I water by weight in 2 l batches, when the weight of the pot "feels" dry, I water the next day.
