New member, new grow, new to autoflower seeds

Much different from the 2 outdoor girls.
Does that top look like it picked up some wild pollen and has seeds?

Probably typical grad plant pollen. The ladies are looking thick and frosty, the outdoor seems to just have some fat swollen calyxes :love_you_gesture:

This also show the difference pruning makes.
The outdoor girls got pruned right before going outside.
Once outside they shot up 2 feet in a week and I never pruned them again.
Well until recently when I took some of the low down buds off to sample. It is good.
The indoors buds are much denser and there are so many more of them!
Take a look inside my tent:






The inside buds look like they are going to turn out better to me.
All these ILGM WWA seeds look like good genetics. :+1: :heart: :sunglasses:

Hey bud! Man I’m getting excited for you just looking at your girls! Well done :slight_smile:

Now is the critical time for the WWA that fills my 2’ x 3’ tent.
All these buds take their time to fill out before harvest.
The Auto-pot is a key to having her finish well.
Over/Under watering doesn’t let the buds finish properly.
It is nerve racking after coming this far to think the plant could droop and die quickly.
The Auto-pot makes it easier, I just have to monitor the PH in the reservoir:

Awesomeness! Buds everywhere. They look yummy :slight_smile:
Will you please send me the link of the autopot you are using? I would like to try that method out maybe as early as January.

This is on sale now. It has only 1 valve for the two pots.
The bigger 4 or 8 pot systems have a valve on each pot.

This fits in the 2’ x 2’ portion of my small tent. 2 plants is max for my tent.
There is nothing else I’ve ever tried that increases the growth rate like this does.
Best $100 you’ll ever spend! :+1: :sunglasses:

The tent is filled with them, ain’t it great? I got 2 Super Silver Haze photos going 1 on each side, with side LEDs.
1 LED failed and a replacement is on the way, got the seedling LED in there for now.
The 1 SSH in the Auto-pot is growing way faster than the other one!




The 2 SSH photos will be ready to flip as soon as the 1 WWA finishes!
Right now running 5 on 1 off for a 20 on and 4 off light day.
When I flip I think I might go 5.5 on 0.5 off 6 on 12 off for my photos.

Last major defoliation taking place. This seed went in water exactly 10 weeks ago.
So probably 2-3 weeks to go. I took off most of the big leaves and these lower larf branches:



The plant will tell you what to cut off if you know what to look for.
What tells you that these larf branches should go?
The red coloring of the stems.
Since I also have 2 SSH plants vegged and ready to flip,
I think I am going to go to 12/12 tonight and let the Auto finish with that schedule.
The SSH photos should just start to show signs of flowering and begin their stretch as the WWA finishes.

Thanks my friend! What do you do with the leaves and larfy buds?

QWET Alcohol extraction. I’m going to try a frozen quick swish clean filtered extraction.
Then a warm longer 2nd soak of the materials.
Reclaim the alcohol from the 1st rinse and see if I can start a nice honey collection. :+1: :sunglasses:

I installed a trellis to help my plants grow nice and wide. Here’s a closer look at my plants:

They look much better!
It looks like you got them on the right path now. :+1:
These are photos, right?
You can keep them in veg and train them as long as you like.
My tent is very small and I have to worry about them getting too tall.
They will approximately double in size during flowering.
It looks like yours are almost ready for 12/12 IMHO.
If you have a separate space for seedlings and vegging,
you can take clones from these when you do your entering flowering defoliation.
Label them so you know where each came from.
Then the ones that turn out the best in flower, you keep their clones as your mother plants.
You know exactly what you will get from your clones then, unlike starting from seed. :heart: :sunglasses:

Yeah, One of my plants looks a bit too small to start budding, so I might try to divide my tent so one side can do 12/12 and the other side, 16/8. My tent is average-sized, (2’x4’x5’), I already have two different lights installed, and so I might want to install a divider of some sort.
I might take your advice and try cloning them. I need to learn more about cloning them because last time I just killed them.
Is it easier to start off a cutting in some water for a week or so, then transfer it into the soil, coco, and perlite mixture?





A look around my tent now.
I got 7 grams of dry larf bud and approximately 3 Ozs of dry leaves used for tincture so far.
On 12/12 schedule now. This should finish by early Oct at the latest.
If theses buds continue to put in weight until then I think I may get 3+ Ozs of dry bud by harvest! :+1: :sunglasses:

Looking really nice!

Hoping to get 3oz+ for the first time on my current grow as well. I have gotten around 2+1/2 a couple of times.

I finally have a stash, this is my 1st grow in 20 years.


About 6 g of larfy bud.
This should last me until I harvest my indoor WWA.
My outdoor plants are doing OK.
Never count on an outdoor guerilla garden until it is harvested and in your home.
Now is the time they can be spotted from the air.
Thinking of trimming these 2 of most of their sun leaves so they don’t stand out as much:

6 grams would last me 2 days :rofl:

Even these larfy buds are pretty good, IMHO.
2-3 of these little bowls will last me a day.
My tolerance will likely increase substantially now that I have a stash.LOL
