Completely a low-maintenance grow by all means possible. Next time I will allow the plants to stay vertical, but these two plants have me full of respect for the Breeders of this Maui Wowie profile and Autoflowers in general.
What a great Pot to smoke. The herb burns without effort, with clean white ash, and a smooth big-toke ability... Being completely truthful, this Strain does not carry the smell or impact that I remember from 40 years ago, seeing 2 lbs of Hawaiiain in a buddy's fridge, wrapped in tinfoil lol... HOWEVER, there is definitely a dark-side to this strain that has developed a funky dark flavour that stems from Berries and Fruit. The cure is in week 2 and ongoing. Each morning I look forward to cracking the lid and right now I am totally enjoying what it took to grow these Easy plants.
First Auto grow, and as much as I love the big classics, there is room each season now for a run of Autos. willing to scratch a 8/10 for this amazing Bud!
Yield is probably the only thing holding my mark down, now that its at least a month since harvest. And the Bud has only improved. Do not be shy people, this is definitely worth checking-out.
* rescheduled for Sept. in an big-tent, auto-medley that will be a glorious way to end the Year !
Best-Grows to you all.

***** is my rating after tasting some of this “young” weed. G.P. nutrients has helped me re-produce some famous weed here, in a very easy grow. It has become a constant as I try to grow a variety of strains.
I’m trusting it
April 14
Everything has gone as planned and beyond.
A proper drying of ~ 5 days is planned and a good cure is intended for a month anyway. Taste test next week! An easy outing that is for sure. “And I still have 4 more seeds!!!!!”
16th, two days after hanging, the little suckers seem to be loosing quite a bit of mass... sooo we will see where its headed, still very moist
17th,
- branches posing no resistance to bending yet
- inspected the plants this afternoon, and further chopped them into smaller pieces.
- combined weight has dropped down to 78 grams after 80 hours in the dark (from 338gr)
**** smoked some “shake” and had a wonderful surprise. Mild flavour if any, beautiful smell, easy smoke with a great vibrant buzz.... Already !!!
Be back in a few days with pre-jarring results...
Apr 18th,
- upon inspecting the root ball I found that the two plants had developed an interwoven root system that commanded a big section of the 15 gallon root ball
Apr 19th
- day 5 since the harvest finds me with branches that snap and the harvest has been cleaned-up & sealed in containers to start the cure. (w/ a 62% Boost in each container) A week of multi-burps is planned
- as this is my 1st Auto, I’m impressed by every aspect of this plant. The one area I am unsure of, and I’m not greedy, but I’m wondering if 2oz is really a satisfactory yield from a pair of Autos.
I know there will be changes to my future grows and watching specific categories for sure to find more efficient efforts. Like Establishing broad root networks, creating a great Soil environment and of course finding the right grow conditions for the right plant(s).
It’s a learning game and we will be doing this again real soon
Apr 21st and I have to call this a successful grow. The smell is building in the air-tight containers as I burp them regularly and I certainly look forward to enjoying this blast from the past. And to the next batch of Autoflowers that I grow in September. ( something along these lines now that I know how much, or how little room they require.... black diesel, lemon pie, sour diesel, bruce banner, gorilla glue. There will be a buffet for X-mas). but heres to Summer people. Thanks to the that Growers who chipped-in and helped me along the way. truly enjoyed the sharing that went on.... CHEERS

- taste-test ...
May 22nd
- never too late to say that these buds have only improved in the time since my last post about the Maui Wowie.
- Absolutely great Pot! Head full of positive vibes, pulling some crazy tunes out of thin air, that I had not heard in years, and yep, Im going out to paint my fence Lofl....

- Nice work Beaver Seeds
When planting seeds directly to soil, Is it necessary to re-pot them into medium-sized containers... or does it make any sense to go directly to larger, final pot?
With autos I think it’s best to go straight from your starter pot into your final chosen pot size. Potting up multiple times is better suited to normal photoperiod type plants.
The reason for this is minimal transplant shock slowing growth and not inhibiting its root growth.
Happy growing buddy👍
@Mrs_Larimar, thanks again, I had lost track of How Much assistance I had provided to the plants, until I started pulling Wires & bamboo.
it makes perfect sense to have delayed full ripening a couple of weeks. First auto-grow, I appreciate the words leading to patient actions
@Roberts, fyi in my 40th year of appreciation… and 3rd as a grower. Lol so there is a bit of a database. But its beautiful that there are so many actual resources. questions = answers.
Man, what a beautiful harvest! I am new to all and on my first indoor grow. Autos are something I want to try. I found you by search for Beaver Seeds. I am an outdoor gardener, not cannabis, so I am familiar with seed quality. Beaver seeds genetics appear to be very good. Dude, you make me impatient with my garden. You do a wonderful job my friend! Thank you for the pictures and the detailed explanation and notes. Diaries like yours... help beginners like me. Thanks!
@Wyregrasser, Hey! you just made my day. Thanks for digging around and so happy you found something to chew-on.
This site is great, people will share facts and we all love the same things. I’m still learning daily…
