4x8? sheesh, that's the same size of a dorm room I had in college. You guys are gonna be in trim jail for life with that much grow space........
Looks like small studio Apt. but amazing that I can fill it up from wall to wall with just 4 plants- just acquired a 5 by 5 to be middle size for perpetual- just have to make room in celler( gonna be a struggle with 22 years worth of crap to work around) And I've already been to Trim Hell- took 2 1/2 days on my 12 oz. finish + boxes of popcorn for edibles( labor of Love LOL)

You filled a 4x8 and only got 12oz? I guess my expectations for my space is way too much. I guess I could live with 6oz but I'm sure my grow will suffer from noobishness so maybe 3oz. :(

I'm re-posting this with some new additions in case you missed it the first time. Due largely to first time grower impulse control and the freebie policies of seed banks, I have singles and multi seed packs of more strains than I will ever be able to get to. So here's what I'm offering.

If you take any of the seeds you agree to

A) take clones in case it turns out to be something worth keeping in our local gene pool
B) share some of the harvest with our local group (for scientific purposes)
C) in the case of seed packs cloning each pheno you can identify in addition to A & B above.

And of course any small consumable donation to yours truly wouldn't be discouraged :)

I've added descriptions where available but feel free to investigate on your own. Post what you would like here on the forum and I'll PM you to make arrangements.

Here's what's available:

So, I'm pretty excited. Not gonna be record numbers for auto's by a long shot but this is approx 1/4 of my first harvest from my first grow. 3 more plants should be done 7-10 days apart. This is the rest of Bubblicious #1. The hunk I chopped off her last week is currently @ 62% RH as of yesterday and chillin with a Bodeva. Dry weight: .5oz. When the rest of her dries I'm guessing 2 zips. Full size shopping bag for size reference. I shoulda placed a Pepsi can next to that upper left bud. :bigjoint:

I'm thinking after I chop the next Bubblicious, I'm pulling the HPS and going full COB's. The 2 remaining autos have been half under a pair of COBs and the HPS for 2 weeks and keep turning toward the COBs so I doubt there will be an issue.

Can't wait to be able to take pics under white lights without hauling plants out. :hump:

Nice job, Creature!!- the hard part is waiting for the cure- as much as it pains you, trim the big buds as far up as you can(small nugs) will stabilize quicker & cure quicker. My hang time: 3 days-5( too low Rh in only area available) , weigh, add to jar w/ Boveda pac, & hydrometer, cure, burp,, Check daily for steady RH. then wait 2 months for full cure( ain't friggin happenen)LOL! or they are shrinking daily by a bowl pack or 2

I've already convinced myself I'm not even sampling for a month. Thankfully, I have a damn good supply on hand to ease the pain. :bigjoint:

Started 2 more autos 2 weeks ago. Panama Lime and Cheese. Preparing coco hempy buckets with air stones for 2 more soon. Haven't decided what to pop for those yet.

One good thing about autos with one grow space is you can have many plants at different stages. After this first round finishes, I should be set to harvest 2-4 plants every 45-60 days depending on strains. If I continue this route I'm going to have to come up with another small space to try and breed some auto fem seeds. :bigjoint:

I had the same approach(not sampling) but curiosity took over and WOW! if its this good@ 2 weeks, its only gonna get better.@ 2 months- Boveda is the shits; everything stabilized after a few days and smell keeps getting stronger

Waiting is killing me. My autos are 7 weeks into flower and the breeder says they should be done but I only saw one Amber trichome. Burnt and abused they may yet have 2 weeks left.

One of my photos is looking very yellow in it's 10 gal pot but the buds look big to me for only 4 weeks into 12/12.

Day 2 of agromax pure UV. 4-15 minute cycles. Wanted to stay with 10 minute cycles but my timer has 15 minute blocks. The closest bud is 19" away but is in the furthest corner of my tent.

My autos are suppose to be 8 weeks total. First plant went 10. The longest looks like she might go to 12-13 weeks but she went through a second stretch and started flowering after 6.5 weeks from seed. These auto girls definitely do what they want when they feel like it. lol. Same strain, medium, water, etc but different issues with each one. Good times!

I went away for the weekend to the flower expo at the Boston seaport hotel and trade center. I was so worried about my girls when I was gone. (I did get a "babysitter" to check on them)

When I got home both my girls were great! The little new hydro girl had doubled in size. I guess I am doing something right. (phew) Hydro is awesome!

Glad its working for you, Mom. Did you ever drill those access holes, cause your gonna need them once plants take off( root ball gets huge)

Ok, now its getting to be Zen time- Got lazy this AM. Didn't check my girls, so came home tonight & went in stealth mode(dark period) with led flashlight(shaded by hand so as not to wake the girls- and watered them in the dark( counting in my head as pump ran, to top off- Lots of practice) They went thru 6 1/2 gal. since yesterday AM.( that's on 4 4 gal. buckets) Took pics in total darkness(other than flash going off and appears 1st 2 plants are in pre-flower, with other 2 right behind. About freakin time!! been 17 days since 12/12 flip.But all my topping probably slowed things down- but many ,many budsites as a result- shooting for the 16 zip+ grow. And no LST or Scrog this round(do to time)- JUST Scissors, fingernails, and ROCK & ROLL
