I know my camera is horrible but here you go, BlimBurn day 63 from seed. I planted all four of my plants at the same time but BlimBurn was just a beast from the beginning. I have the three Speed Seeds plants, one pheno about two weeks behind this one getting harvested probably on the 23rd and the other is going until the 30th. I'll post pictures of the Speed Seeds AK Auto when they're done.

I know it's hard to tell from the picture but it's about 4 feet from the ground including the pot. I'd be happy with 35 grams from this plant. I'm optimistic I'll get that.

I really wish I had cut the undergrowth earlier, but I didn't want to stunt it by removing it that late. I had no idea these autoflowers were going to get that huge or go this long or I'd have lollipopped them for sure. Here she is all cut down. I'll tell you how she smokes in about five to six days, and how she tastes about a week after that :d. I was only hoping for an ounce from each plant, and i think it's safe to say I'll be meeting that goal lol.

Do you guys think I should cut some of the undergrowth on the plant that's going until the end of the month or is it too late for that?

She is just about ready. Going to cut down when the soil dries out a little more.

With flash.

My BlimBurn definitely should have gone longer but I'm glad I cut it because the other three are getting the light they need now. If i had let BlimBurn go the 15 more days it needed to really be "done" the others wouldn't fill out. Lesson learned, these new autos aren't so small! I was planning to grow 10 originally in my 2x4x5 lmao. 3 is pushing it.

I was also sad my buds seemed to be long and foxtaily compared to the others I've grown, but looking at yours and some other AK auto I guess that's just how it is being mainly sativa? I think I'm going to do a hybrid SCROG next time so I can get some nice dense compact nugs. Do you have a picture of a whole branch?

Got the AK as a freebie too. Turned out to be a winner. Didn't trim much so it came out bushy. Due to my current system/location I went with an auto for a change. The 70 day seems to be right on. Very fine fast growing plant and is outperforming the other variety I chose. Started with an 600w LED inside and put out in larger pot into greenhouse to finish. It grew well inside but just flourished outside in the Spring sun and larger clay pot. Great plant to polish skills for the photos later. Truth will be in the smoking for sure.

She will be getting the axe tonight ladies and gents! Excited for my first harvest, even though i know its not going to be astronomical. My BBXWW / strawberry cheese cake are doing well, will probably flip them to flower in a week or so...try to get some real weight out of them..But in the mean time im going to start a samsara critical auto for my deck during the day /tent at night. Will update on weight and smoke and what not. But thanks for the advice and help, and thanks for following everyone!

So I ended up with about 13.5g dry. Bout 5g trim. Over all I'm satisfied with my first grow. A little disappointed about yield as she was a lot fluffier than she seemed, but we live and learn, and I'm pretty confident that my new ladies will surpass the half oz mark .

As for smoke. The ak has a very earthy smell. Not very pungent but still pretty good. Gives me a mellow body buzz and a "forgetful" high. Thanks for tuning into this question/grow journal. You guys are great!

Here are my two girlies. Will post a thread over in the photos section when I start flowering.
