| I grew these babies out this summer and have to say, they were very easy to grow. I germed five of them and had three resulting females in the following phenotypes: average indica (squat with broad leaves), a mutant (undescribable leaf pattern/shape/size) and a sativa/indica hybrid. I mixed up the germination process for a few and all worked in the same time period (showed 1" tap roots within 36hrs); heated germination dome, paper towel and direct planting into soil.
Autoflowering plants are not for everyone but do offer something for those in need of medical marijuana in a short time period and/or those who do not have a large grow space.
Since you do not know whether a plant will autoflower or not before flowering, you treat it just like a normal MJ plant. I used about 200W of tubular and compact fluoros for "vegging." All three showed pre-flowers by the third node (week three) and were transferred into the flowering room; consisting of 400W HPS. They flowered for another 5 weeks and were cut between days 59-63 (total time, not flower time).
Total yield was about 1oz of cured bud. Obviously, this is not a very "efficient" plant, but optimal yield is not reason to choose this strain, now is it?
Overall, it was an average grow with great results. I was impressed.
Garden Information for this report I grow in a 4'4 closet, aerated with 2 big box fans and 2 oscillating fans to cool lights. Veg - I use random fluoros, a few compacts, a few tubes to mix up the spectrum. For flowering, I use a 400W HPS from MDHydro. Only the best organic mixes for soil; Heavy and light potting mix, perlite, seabird guano, worm casting, the good stuff. I also use "mylar" to help reflect some of the light back to the plants (I use emergency blankets from WalMmart, they are about $20 cheaper and get the job done). |
