First grow -- Sweet Tooth x Ruderalis

[Ninjabowler]

I ran a 400w HPS cool tube in a 3'x4.5'x5' cab for almost 3 years you dont need much space
and BTW a Apollo 400w aircooled hood dimmable ballast and bulb are usually in the $120 range on ebay if you already have exhaust you could tie into it or you could run its own duct/fan that sucks air from outside the room through the hood and back out the room so it wouldnt need a scrubber and would be unrestricted to help cool it faster

Eh? Good advice op cheap and effective. Learn on an hps bro, youll never bat an eye at leds again. You can scrog with it with just as good but more likely better results. I wish id never wasted all the money on leds. Were just tryin to help ya save some cash.

I'm sorry to hear about your condition but I didn't quite get that... you're not allowed to smoke sativas as much yet you smoke a lot of haze?

my heart skips a beat sometimes ....... and sativa's make your heart race so its a bad combo
but for some reason my hazes that are sativa dom have almost none of the heart racing effect ..............
ive been running crosses from a positronic purple haze #1 for the last couple years it does me right ...... running some super lemon haze this round

 

[grapefruitmarmalade]

You guys really like sweet tooth huh? To each it's own. In my medicine cabinet I have Jack Herer, Chem Valley Kush, Purple Trainwreck, Super Green Crack, and Super Silver Haze, so the Sweet Tooth just didn't stand up to what I was used too. I like meds that are strong enough to replace all the prescription drugs they have to pump into my back (Norco, Diloted, Flexerall, and 4 others)
But if autoflowers are your preference then I would suggest using "super auto's." You only grow for 4 more weeks and get twice the yield.
I do agree with tekdc911's though Haze strains are where it's at.
But I don't want to come of as a guy who's talking crap and not trying to help, so PM me an address. If you know how to wire I have 3 or 4 of PC fans I'm not using, yours if you want them?

That's very kind. I like to see this on RIU. But I have to kindly decline your offer. I'm sure there's other ghetto low budget growers out there for whom it might be useful
This is a second gen auto so I guess that makes it a super auto. Maybe that's why it is taking so much to flower. I hope it's all good

I guess that's why haze has been invented. Stay healthy bro
love the name purple haze #1

Just to be sure we are talking 70 watt LEDs here. Not a bunch of 3 watt ones so I don't think light penetration will be an issue. But alright man... I'm going with the HPS. Thanks

 

[grapefruitmarmalade]

Quick update since I'm here: I have mixed up the spectrum 50 Watts of 2700K and 90 Watts of 6400K and I just realized that I have more bulbs than this tiny room can facilitate so I'm gonna be working on ways to add more 2700K. (125 watts in total + 90 watt 6400K)

the seeds are around 20 bucks but out of 5-6 beans you might find 2 maybe 3 different pheno's its pretty stable and will knock your socks off....... its also very very stealthy on the smell kinda smells like fresh cut grass while its in veg and early flower then its like a berry patch that got mowed over later in flower

unless its labeled dwarf or stealth .... most auto's are " super auto's " now a days .... they can all run 12 weeks most people are just too impatient .......... CBD slowly builds up towards the end and during late flower ...... so dont cut yourself short by harvesting early

Thanks for coming back and replying. I'm looking into purple haze #1 right now. I would like to try my hand at an outdoor grow next summer and I'm considering this if I can get my hands on it. Also Sweet Afghani Delicious autoflower from Sweet Seeds

Now I consider myself a patient guy but I've planted the sweet auto on the 1st of October and it sprouted on the 2-3rd. That's a good month and there's no sign of flowers. I just wanna see flowers forming and my mind will be at ease

 

[grapefruitmarmalade]

Now those are too twirly to be new leaf growth. I know for sure that we have pistils (near the top of the plant)



yep I've become a school girl

auto's life cycle
seed , seedling ,veg , preflower ( thats where youre at , normally is 5-7 nodes /around 21 days or so ) , then it goes back into veg , then vertical stretch stops and it starts to stack nodes ( this would be the time to start bloom nutes )

what kinda buzz you after ?
legal ?
personally
i liked CBD crews yummy but it needs to be mixed with something if you are a recreational user its a really nice body / painkiller tastes pretty good as well
but need's something mixed with it for a head or a stone ....... you can smoke a bowl and not hurt but not really be buzzed if im making any sense ........
ive only grown a handful of plants outdoors that were actual strains .......
my favorite was white rhino from green house seeds 2 duds that barely yielded but the other 3 more then made up for it ......
indoors prolly was one of my best grows yield wise
positronics has some really stable strains that grow fairly easy .........
and barneys farms holds the majority of my favorite strains their sweet tooth being one of them

I'm not sure this baby follows that schedule. It's probably a pheno that has no ruderalis in it. I could be wrong. But let me put it this way: 5th week since sprout and no pre-flowers, switched to 12 hours for a couple of days, then following a 36 hour darkness period it suddenly starts to show sex. So yeah I'm pretty sure it's not an auto I e-mailed the seedbank asking how much does it usually take from seed to harvest and all they said is that it will stay roughly 60 days in flower. Anyway, I'm keeping it in 12/12 just to be sure. Don't bash me about how I'll lose yield and whatnot

Illegal. as of late stealth is no longer an issue. I'm looking at med for migraines. Neurologist said I get migraines from stress, too much light, too much heat, too much cold, coffee; which is a bummer cause I love coffee). There is that and I'd like something to put me fast to sleep and just generally improve my sleeping quality, as well as get some appetite going. A good indica dominant will do me good. But I'd like to look at 50/50s too. I'm sure I've seen somewhere on the internet that cannabis works well with ADHD patients so I ask you what's a good strain that will do all that and boost attention? Anyway I've said earlier I have Royal Queen Seeds' Special Kush #1 (3 fem) and that will be in my next grow using the hempy bucket method and a screen. Believe it or not I was tempted to pop one today but then I remembered I have to order nutes, I don't have lights etc etc.
Have you ever tied any Victory Seeds strains?

Edit: also I don't have easy access to a lot of seed banks (I feel like I'm in North Korea) but CBD crew and green house seeds are ok for me

 

[tekdc911]

i mail order all my beans for the most part ........ herbies headshop or attitude seedbank ...........
sativa's for daytime , indica's for sleep , CBD for your headaches ........... smoke a blunt of each and call me in the morning ............

 

[tekdc911]

find some green crack beans ...... that should get you hella focused
https://www.dinafem.org/en/green-crack/

just a random link im sure herbies or attitude have it and youll prolly get freebies as well

if it is a F1 cross .......... sweet tooth x ruderalis ........ then its a photo ...... just going by the odd's
but if it was stabilized further then it should be a auto
6 weeks in flower , 6 weeks veg ........ its sounds like its following the normal 10-12 week schedule to me

 

[grapefruitmarmalade]

From my 7th grade knowledge F1 crosses means a less uniform spectrum of phenotypes. Still though 6 weeks veg... I think I was mislead on the whole autoflower thing. Anyways the title of the thread may be misleading... this is a Sweet Tooth crossed with an autoflowering Bilbo strain from Granada. This is what I can remember form my conversation with the seed vendor

 

[grapefruitmarmalade]

Update: this is what she looks like this morning. Gonna call this day 1 of flowering lol
Looks like slight nute burn on the outside fan leaves leaves, but it's not uniform throughout the leaves like I've seen on some other plants (from pics ofcourse) so I don't know what to make of it. Next feeding is going to be straight water and plenty of it. Rest of the leaves got burned from touching the lights

 

[Jae Shon]

Trust me Bro. Your plant is doing just fine. I thought the samething when I first started running autos.
But after learning, experimenting, failing, etc... I found out 2 things: vendors are full of it when it comes to flowering times (most vendors), 90 days is usually how long it takes from seed to harvest. Some times a little more and sometimes a little less. 24-48hours of darkness right before the harvest.

Also have you tried Northern Lights Blue Auto or Jack Herer. JH my drug of choice when i need to combat my pain but have energy amd focus (school, kids, etc...). Northern Lights Blue auto is slowly becoming my favorite auto.
Lastly I'm gonna do an outdoor hempy bucket fall/winter run to see if it will still produce well in a California winter it will be the Northern Lights Blue Auto. And I'll be using an LST method for autos that you may want to adopt if successful. I'll post up to you can see.
