I'm just finishing a partial harvest of a Northern Lights x Big Bud auto fem from Canuck and it went from seed sprouting through the soil to main cola(s) harvest in just under 75 days... Harvested a Sweet Tooth auto fem before that in about 90. So it really depends on the strain.

I've used this technique many, many times... Although I was skeptical at first, and downright scared when I saw the plants drooping (drowning), the method produces ridiculously vigorous growth and totally helps at the end when you flush. If you think about it, it's actually much closer to a...

Better late than never! Sorry I didn't update this with info when I harvested... For anyone that's interested, I ended up taking both plants (wet weights were well over 100 grams per plant) and gave them a long, slow drying period. Didn't take a dry weight, but filled 2 quart sized mason jars...

Here are some pics of the plant right after minimal trimming and weighing... I took one of the underside as well, and you can see how the buds bent upward.

Wet weight of the full plant was well over 100 grams. As I did my first trim (just fan leaves and minimal sugar leaves) the whole plant is single stick of solid buds. My nodes are so close to each other, the whole plant is just a long series of bud sites.

I'm surprised the paper towel method didn't work for you... Not that you'll need to, and not that you asked, but try to get 3 sheets of paper towel, fold them at the creases (you'll have 3 equal layers) and get them soaking wet. Wring it out so that they're moist but not dripping. Fold it in...

So, today is the moment of truth... I harvest plant #1!! My boss called out of work today, which means I'm flying solo and pretty much have the day to myself! This means I'll be able to get home with plenty of time to pull my one drowned, light deprived plant out of the nighty night box and trim...

They're dry after 2 days? Hope the smoke isn't too harsh... I thought drying should take at least a week if you want a real good cure.

I like to sandwich the seeds between some moist (not soaked) paper towels and put them inside an inverted tupperware container... I've found the ziploc bag doesn't have enough head room to create the little micro-climate that seems to help germination. Put them either on top of your fridge or...

Usually, you don't want those roots to be anything but white... Never grown fully hydro, but I'm pretty sure you shouldn't see any coloring on the roots that isn't white or a little off-white. Sounds to me like the start of a plant parasite called pythium, sometimes associated with dampening off.

So I'm edging ever closer to harvest... Since I have 2 plants from mystery strains (bag seed), they don't follow the same schedules. Essentially, one plant is super ripe while the other has about another week. I decided to put my mini-fridge fermenter on hold for now and I'm moving forward with...
