<span class="link_user">@growdoctordc</span>, Lol. I got a good laugh out of that haha. And yeah you're right, they do look better in pictures compared to in person. I always try to think of that when looking at other peoples pictures lmao. And thanks, yeah not bad I suppose for a first grow huh?! I have 3 autos in veg right now, 1x fastberry from fastbuds and 2x bloody skunk from sweet seeds. After these autos I'm going to try 3-4x photos in 2 or 3gal pots with a scrog.
I want to invest in another light and bigger tent. Then use this 2x2x4 for my veg/autos. But thanks anyways man appreciate it!

Sounds like a Catholic confession. I can say that in 2018!...because I was raised Catholic. No angry PMs please.
Colas almost always look awesome in pictures, yet underwhelming in person. For a first grow with 150w light you’re doing very well. If you’re growing out of need, may I suggest you grow 2-3 at a time. I harvest average 2 and sometimes over 3 Zs per 5 gallon pot of soil. I grow regs I bred. I’m thinking to add autos to the mix to both speed up the process and yield more.
Enjoy and keep growing

<span class="link_user">@Quexos</span>, hoping the same. They technically only have 10 days left before harvest but obviously I’m going by the looks and trichomes. So I’ll say 2 more weeks before I cut her down. I did do some plucking of the main large fan leaves, like 15-20% so not many at all. which I probably shouldn’t of but hopefully it doesn’t impact it too much. I was trying to open up the canopy to let light get to the buds for these last two weeks. If I get 2 oz I’ll be happy.

<span class="link_user">@MUDBUG</span>, No feeding on her yet buddy, still won't feed her nutes for probably another 2 weeks to be honest and shes on day 16. I'm using happy frog mixed with perlite, and from my first grow that's still currently going. I came to realize I can go 4+ weeks without feeding when people told me 2-3 weeks start feeding a little.
I have only gave her tap water since my tap is pH at 6.8 and HF soil is pH at 5.8-6.2 I believe... In fact at the very tip of one of the leaves there is very small browning/signs of nute burn. I think I'm going to toss a little pH down in my tap water to fix that. Other than that I'm letting her coast, won't have to add nutes probably until the time she starts flowering honestly.

<span class="link_user">@Quexos</span>, Yeah I know the parents of two of them. It seems like for 3 or 4 of the red family strains they just added a purple plant to whatever main strain they wanted to crossbreed. And yeah I feel you on the autoflowers vs photo. I prefer photos so far, but this fastberry auto is my first auto/second grow so who knows. The only way I see myself growing autos is if I really want to try a certain strain and it only comes in autoflower, just like the red family... Definitely growing each strain from the red family for sure. I want to try/grow all of them lol.
