Week 9:
We're starting to see the buds fatten and develop now, still have at least another 4 weeks left, maybe 5, excited to see how big these gals will get.
A little clover flower has been growing along with the girls. They seem to be keeping each other company, so I'm leaving her.
@ganjaq, Oh man yes, the 4 autos I've grown so far have all been super fruity smelling. This fucker is all skunk! I had to hook up the carbon filter about 10 days ago on her, she was stinking up both tents and my wife started complaining about the smell from the garage 😂
@Ferenc, So far I'm seeing about as many bud sites as with the auto's I've LST'd (even minus the branch I accidentally snapped off), but with far less work. The training of this plant has been very, very easy. Whereas with the scrog net, it was just fucking constant tweaking. When I finish up my photo run in the big tent I'll run 3 auto seeds, I'll expect them to be somewhere around 3x the size of this plant with the same general structure. I'm feeling that real hard, so as long as I don't have a sudden herming, or a really bad harvest, I'll continue to top rather than scrog/LST only.
