Here we have Royal Cookies by Royal Queen Seeds and critical by Zamneasia. First time growing so I'm not expecting everything to be perfect, any help/feedback with anything would be very much appreciated! Growing in Coco, started the seedlings in their final pot to avoid stress with transplanting, I just want to keep things simple first time around, then change things on my next grow. I will be Using genesis Formula Coco A+B. Gave them just water for about the first 10-12 days but now I'm feeding everyday. Day 1 - The seeds germinated and they both popped up on the same day Day 5 - They're looking good , stopped me worrying about them so much.. this was the day I moved the light closer to the seedling

Nice long veg. They should bring lots of fat buds. Well done

@Ripper, Thankyou 🙏

Popeyecommentedweek 47 years ago
Thanks! I'm thinking heat stress from the light being too close, they're looking abit better since I've raised the light so, fingers crossed. Yeah sorry about the LED pics! I was meant to start my diary on day one but I never got round to it, so these are the only pics I have up untill now. I hope mine do too 👀 I just hope I can reach the harvest with both plants intact 😂

@Popeye, Everyone has different tastes. Stay green dude.👽
Popeye
Popeyecommented7 years ago
@PigBearMan, yeah that's what I've been reading, people say they lack THC content and also flavour, and alot of people also say that's not true as autos are getting better and better. I have seen 1 guy get his flower tested and it was hitting 25/26% which is great but for me flavour is the most important thing 💪 so I think I need to smoke some autoflower and make my decision lol

PigBearMancommented7 years ago
@Popeye, For me and every grower I know in real life Autos are only for growing outdoor or if you don't have any experiences in growing. I know some dudes who grew Autos for the first time. Think Big, Auto Gorilla Glue, Auto Ultimate... No strain really tasted great. You always taste the fuggin' Ruderalis...But they yield pretty okay. 😅 I mean...24/0? Serious? I could grow you some Haze with that energy...😆 Hope you enjoy your grow tho. 😊

I might add that many people, like myself, grow Auto's due to a lack of space and wanting to utilize a closet. They don't grow as tall or stretch as much as a photos. This allows for me to maximize my harvest utilizing a small amount of space. Check out my week 2 video of the closet setup if interested.

@Popeye, Vapes are the way to go. Much easier on your lungs and truly bring out the terpenoid flavor.
Popeye
Popeyecommented7 years ago
@Zannabis7, just checked the video! What a set up man! 👌 My tent is only 1x1m so space is an issue for me too. I have only used a vaporizer once, It was the storz and bickel mighty. I tried stardawg on it and it tasted better than any joint I've ever smoked!

I would be so nervous moving my plants!! Glad t it went well and your girls are thriving again.
Popeye
Popeyecommented7 years ago
@TheMachinist, I was! It was the worst thing that could of happened 4/5 days into flower.. but they soon shot back

Very well done! Especially for first time! Anticipating a good yield; Liked and followed!
Popeye
Popeyecommented7 years ago
@Jaindoh, Thankyou mate

I hear you. The benefit of autos is they produce fast as you can give them light 24/0 and they will still flower. Often done in 8 weeks with this lighting schedule. Best wishes.

@Zannabis7, 8 weeks is fast! My plants were vegging for 8 weeks 😂

I burn everything I grow in a quality vaporizer and to me, the taste is great. While I certainly wouldn't say it tastes as good as SOME photos, I find the taste to be exceptional through a vaporizer set to the right temperature.

Whats your RH? 60% would be perfect in this phase. BTW, could you take pics without LED light? Would help us to give you tips. :) I hope my eyes pop out when you harvest and take pics. 😜 Stay green.

@Popeye, good call on upping cal mag with those purple stems. Looks healthy otherwise! Great LST too. Will follow along
Popeye
Popeyecommented7 years ago
@diamondtrichomes, really good so far! I've added cal-mag to my solution and I'm seeing no other signs of a deficiency anywhere else on the plants. Their topping went great too it's been around 5 days, their new growths are getting bigger everyday and looking healthy 👌

Zannabis7commentedweek 87 years ago
Yep - and the strains have gotten way better over the years. Can produce 20+ % THC and a couple ounces if done right.
Popeye
Popeyecommented7 years ago
@Zannabis7, yeah I saw someone got their flower tested and it was 25/26%.. how does the flavour compare to photos?

Hello, When you grow automatic strains on a small scale you will find that your percentage of Ruderalis phenotypeS with low terpenes and low thc ARE too great compare to the good one... Sadly this is the give and take deal for flowering cannabis without light reduction... If your THC tolerance is low great, but if not.... you will cringe thinking what you could have grown with 2 more weeks only...😭
