I cannot believe how much weed I have got from this one auto plant also I had to cut four inches off one of the main bud sites because of bud rot I would definitely use Dutch passion again

The weight listed is wet, so I expect to lose about 20% as it dries and cures, leaving a final yield of around 8–9 ounces. This is a fantastic strain with an uplifting, energetic high—perfect for thinking, dreaming, and relaxing without knocking you out. I had a lot of fun growing this strain even with all the challenges in the beginning

Still going lol. Still not too many amber, but I cut down one of the smaller side growths to dry and test. Keeping up with just water, probably could have added nutes for quite a bit longer, but oh well next time haha. Couple buds moved onto a light bulb and burned pretty badly. Be careful out there!

Fungus gnats coming with the soil might take the chance to come out now for breeding. i'm waiting with a 9 mm rifle. in the past i found 6 gnats in 2 of 8 x 50 l biobizz lightmix bags coming out of the soil. i could eliminate every single gnat successfully ;) rotating harvest: the little ones will be harvested completely when ready. at this point only the top branches of the big ones will be cut...and the new (basic-watered) pots of the new grow will move into the tent. 2-3 weeks later the secod half of the big ones will be cut and the second half of the new grow will move in... nutes: biobizz / soil: biobizz lightmix bloom,grow,topmax,activera,algamic + aminopower instead of bio heaven (too expensive) individual feeding schedule/once a week: veg: 200 - 600 ppm bloom: 600 - 900 ppm water: ro-water with: veg: 100-150 ppm calmag bloom: 150 ppm calmag

​Welcome to my diary! I’m starting the tracking right here in Week 5 with this beautiful Super Boof XL Auto by Sweet Seeds. ​She has shown incredible vigor from the start and is currently responding amazingly to some heavy training. Who says you can't push an autoflower to its limits? 😉 ​🛠️ Training & Technique (LST & Topping) ​To build the ultimate canopy before the stretch really kicks in, I’ve put in some work: ​Topping: I topped the main stem to break apical dominance. She recovered incredibly fast without any signs of stunting or shock! ​Low Stress Training (LST): I’m using green plant ties to pull the branches outward. This opens up the center of the plant, maximizes light penetration, and ensures all side branches get equal exposure. ​📈 Current Status (Week 5) ​Vigor & Health: Extremely vital, with a beautiful, deep, and healthy green. ​Structure: Thanks to the topping and LST, she has a perfectly flat, wide, and symmetrical canopy with strong side branches. ​Transition: We are right at the turning point where she’s preparing to transition into flower. The foundation is set for a massive screen of buds! ​Growing this one with real passion and dedication. Let's see how she handles the stretch in the coming days! 🚀 ​💬 Grower's Question ​Do you guys usually top your autos by Week 5, or do you prefer to keep them all-natural? Let me know your thoughts in the comments! 👇

A bit frustrated that I don’t see flowers yet :( I defoliated quite a bunch of leaves that were taking all the space (see pictures). I hope flowers will appear soon after it!

Final Results & Conclusions – Harvest, Drying & Curing The grow is finally complete, and it’s time to look at the results. The main goal of this experiment was to compare natural growth vs LST on autoflowering plants, while also documenting two different trimming/drying approaches. Final Dry Weight Sour Jealousy Auto * LST: 44.9 g * Natural: 62.9 g Banana Purple Punch Auto * LST: 36.1 g * Natural: 51.6 g The results were surprisingly consistent across both strains. The naturally grown plants produced approximately 41% more flower than the LST plants on average, or, looking at it from the other direction, the LST plants produced around 29% less than their naturally grown counterparts. This suggests that, at least in this small experiment, LST did not provide a yield advantage with these autoflowers. In fact, the naturally grown plants produced considerably more. However, there are some important limitations. The sample size is extremely small, with only two plants per growing method. Individual phenotype and environmental variation can therefore have a significant impact on the results. There was also an important difference in pot size: the naturally grown Sour Jealousy was grown in an 18 L pot, while the other three plants were grown in 14 L pots. From this grow, combined with my experience from previous years, I continue to see a relationship between available root space and overall plant development: more substrate seems to give the plant more room to develop. The biggest advantage of LST was not yield, but plant structure and height control. The trained plants remained much shorter and more compact, making them considerably less conspicuous than the naturally grown plants. Drying Comparison I also experimented with two different trimming approaches. The two LST plants were wet trimmed, while the two naturally grown plants were dry trimmed. Throughout drying, I tried to maintain humidity between 55–65%. Temperature was unfortunately higher than ideal, staying around 26–28°C, as I didn’t have equipment to control it. Despite the less-than-ideal temperature, the aromas coming from both groups are very promising. At this stage, both drying methods have produced flowers with excellent fragrances. However, this comparison has an important limitation: because the LST plants were wet trimmed and the natural plants were dry trimmed, the two variables cannot be completely separated. Any differences in the final aroma or quality cannot be attributed exclusively to the drying method. For that reason, I’ll wait until the curing process is further along before making any conclusions. Final Thoughts This experiment gave me some interesting empirical evidence about LST on autoflowers. For my setup, natural growth clearly outperformed LST in terms of final weight, while LST offered a clear advantage in terms of plant size and canopy control. The sample size is obviously too small to draw definitive conclusions, so I’d really like to hear from other growers who have compared LST vs natural growth on autoflowering plants, especially when using the same genetics, pot size and environmental conditions. I’ll update this diary again in about a month, once the curing process is complete and I can compare the final aromas and tasting experience.

I can say I didn't expecting this.. she amazed me, and teach that you can get decent amount of buds in 1L pot also.. this is my first growing in small pot and teachs a lot about using your space..54300

1/10 Week 10 Both are in flush and from the looks of the tricones these are the most potent plants we have grown to date. Drinking has really slowed down but keeping the un-PH one gallon daily flush since tap water is cheap. Annie doing very well under the LED lamp, TS-1000 plenty large enough for one plant in flower. This is encouraging for plans to replace the HID with either a TS-2000 or TS-3000(preferred) this spring before the summer heat. Just a few more days....😎 1/11 Bud pics Harvest Belle on 1/13 - Annie 1/16 Just getting them ready. taking off some useless leaves etc... 1/14 Harvesting Belle today, let her dry out one last day. Annie harvest at weeks end. Harvest pics and total numbers at end of week when I take Annie 👉BELLE HARVEST 963 grams wet 👈 Annie got her last watering today, harvest in two days 1/15 Harvesting in about 12 hours, pics and numbers then

420 Fastbuds FBT2306 Week 7 What up Grow fam. Week 7 update on these amazing plants. Looking nice would be an understatement for these two. The flower sites are a thing of mesmerizing beauty when gazing upon them. You'll see shades of purple, pink, and white. Definitely a sweet smell to them. Still feeding nutes every 3rd water with water and calmag in between. Over all been easy Growing with no special treatments needed. Happy Growing

Critical is nice and healthy had a good stretch before starting sidebranching but she's doing her thing now 3rd time with this strain so pretty use to how she goes normally rockets in these next few weeks sidebranching like mad she's been fed just water and is doing ok decent root formation compared to some of the others but a bit smaller putting it down to the autos been quicker in general was hoping to put outdoors next week but weather is too cold still not much else to report thanks for reading happy growing guys

This week has been great.I'm glad that I was able to pull the plant when I needed to. The weather out here isn't always the best coming towards the end of October. How ever i handle it the best we can. What ive learned to do is wet trim before hang dry. Heres some phots of these glossing nugs. Iknkw ill lose a bitin water weight but im happy none the less. Fire 🔥 This has been a great grow, I learned a lot from Growing out here in new mexico. It was amazing to be able to train these plants 4 into one using training techniques. LST, HST, Defolation & topping all play a roll. It is fun to learn and sharpen my skills. I hope everyone enjoys my diary. Thank you so much Divine seeds. I appreciate the free seeds and the friendly community competition 👌 There's a lot of good growers outthere and I wanna learn from all. Much love ❤️ I'll be back with a smoke review soon

Everything is going well for the ladies so far. Really can't complain. Plenty of stretching for the durban kinda put me in a situation like this strain usually does to me lol. Looks like I'll be tieing her down around the tent supports again to keep her from kissing the lights. No,I think we're all done stretching and we should be able to kick back and watch the buds stack!
