I think the way I was feeding them anyway isn't really as efficient as I thought. Every plant is different and I think I just ran into that with these. Can't water the same for each one. I know this can work better, I just need to play with it a lil more..

The Afghan is taking the nutes with a full res. great with a teaspoon of Maxigro per gallon. I'm gonna go easy with the nutes when I flower her though.

The roadrunner I had trouble with as soon as she had the flowering stretch. I might just flush her with water and molasses until the end.

The easy ryder had no probs and took the nutes great until this last feeding. I think I'll give her a little Koolbloom toward the end and then flush.

Anyway, I guess I updated a little more on the plants health and gave you a lil more info Pablo. I can see myself growing a wide array of different strains every grow.

hey guys, i grew some autos just like these, and they are real finicky with nutes during flowering and some spots and burns will never go away on these. So you might want to go easy on nuting them and dial everything back a bit. The plants are made to be simple grows, so dont overcomplicate it with your dosing since they are on such a different schedule from normal plants. Good luck!

Hey Big Raw,

Thanks for the ride, from what I have seen I think I am going to stay with what I got.
I dont think autoflowering is right for me. Thanks for the 411

Yeah I think it's not for everyone.. I can see myself doing autos in the future mainly because I just like the quick turn around and the ability to have strains that dont get too much out of control. However, there are quite a few strains I want to grow that are regular so I don't think I'm really partial to either..

Did you check out alot of other auto grows Cruzer? Mine didn't quite turn out totally as an auto grow with that one "Afghan" anyway. I did manage to clone it though.

Anyway, thanks for checking out the grow, and hope you check in next few weeks for the harvest.

Thanks for checkin in man. Yeah, it's hard not to want to give more and more nutes when your plants are doin good. Thats usually when something happens. I know Ill have some good results tho, only have a few weeks max for both of the autos. Then I can flower this beast of a plant I got.

The "Afghan" is still veggin.

Big surprise.

Both of the autos are getting orange hairs now.

Your ladies are looking Awesome! Keep it up Raw J!

High there!

Looks like a great grow. Best thing is that the results will demonstrate how the 3 strains compare to each other in yield, time and taste. Don't forget to post your smoke report!

Cheers!

Thanks for stopping in. I'll prob only have another week or so left before some chopping so stick around. Will definitely have a smoke report later on...

Well were getting a little closer now. Prob a week or so and then we might have something.

The easy ryder really has plumped up with the main cola almost as thick as a pop can. Not as big as a pop can, but as wide.

The roadrunner I think is locked out..I prob shouldve flushed her out real real good a while ago, but I thought she might bounce back while flowering having to use more nutes. Whatever, I knew that these plants would be different and shouldve listened to my gut instinct to take it easy and let them do their thing. Def not like traditional plants for sure. Anyway, just waiting for her to develop more. Plain water till the end.

The "Afghan" is huge. Good thing the 2 autos are almost done. Shes 25.5 in tall and prob 20 in wide. I'll give her another trimming of branches before I throw her in 12/12. The clones are taking a long time to root. I do have one I put in the tent yesterday. It is very well rooted and will prob just flower that one out with the mom. At least this way I can see how a clone does as far as yield.

I think I really need to learn to not over do the feeding. I think every grow I get pretty good results, but always feed to much and wind up burning the plant. The "afghan" is goin to be different. I'm gonna only feed alot less and see how that goes...
