She should be nice and big and healthy by the time the autos are done, you will definitely have to LST to keep her short. I'm throwing a wild guess out and saying your autos are going to take 8-10 weeks from now, in which time an untrained plant can be a monster, for example my AI was untrained...

Yield can be tricky to calculate because of all the possible variables involved, but if everything goes smoothly, you should be able to meet your oz per plant goal. A lot of people like to say 1 gram, per watt, per meter squared, or whatever it is (usually applies to a SOG style set-up), but...

P.S. I don't have a total, but just to throw a few numbers around, the plant drying in the box has a couple wet weight buds at: largest bud/main cola = 18.6 g, mid sized buds = 4-6 g, and small buds 1-2 g.

Here's a couple crappy pics of my half-harvest. I harvested my cloned plants this weekend, using a diff drying method for each as a little experiment. One I just trimmed off the large fan leaves and hung upside-down on Friday, and the other I let ripen a couple more days, then completely trimmed...

12-14 weeks of vegging will give you a plant that is too big to manage unless you are growing outside, or training, so LST will def help keep it under control. I suggest growing the plant just long enough to "do a lap" around the container its growing in, trying to keep the canopy as even as...

They are looking good, and from what I can gather, you are dead on about the 18/6. Most of what I've read says you will have good results with this light cycle, as long as the rest of your set-up runs smoothly. All things considered, I think you have a nice start, the combination of autoflower...

Anytime, I've read about people having great success using dual spec with autoflower, so I can't speak badly of it, as I've never used one myself, just a little info for your consideration. I like to try to keep my plants as short and bushy as possible until flower, because that will give you...

My personal style, I would use CFL or MH (anything full spectrum with a decent wattage really) for at least the first 3-4 weeks, just so nodes stay nice and tight during veg stage, then maybe switch to the dual spec at that point and let them autoflower. Besides that, your plants look like they...

Sorry to hear that. The plants I'm about to harvest just started going hermie, but they were never really my main focus, and its late enough for the plants to not get pollinated or seed up since they are getting cut down this weekend. Def try to be very careful concerning light leaks, feminized...

Looking good man, keep it up. I'm a big fan of AI, and can't wait to watch someone else's grow. Subbed.

Another thought, are you taking these plants directly to flower? HPS should really only be used for flowering, you want MH, or "cool white" CFL's or fluorescent for seedling/veg stages. The spots, to me, look like they might be burns from getting droplets of water on the leaves which magnified...

My cloned plants are going to be harvested this weekend, active flowering has slowed to a crawl, most of the hairs have turned, the buds have plumped up nicely, and trikes are about 20% amber. She has been getting pH adjusted tap water for about a week now. Aurora, on the other hand, is maturing...

Of course, that last part doesn't mean general conversation isn't welcomed, I would just like to keep the strain talk as close to AI and related as possible, but by all means, talk my ear (eyes?) off, lol.

Aurora - 6 weeks flowering aka going into 7th week, clones are about a week younger, give or take. I can't believe I almost threw them out, look at them now! Not bad for a truly half assed CFL grow, lol, I honestly haven't done much at all as far as taking care of these little ladies, just...

Looks like a job well done to me! I hope they have the medical effect you were looking for. I look forward to your future grows if you so choose to share them on RIU.

Thanks for stopping by Jessy. Congrats on hopefully the first of many harvests to come!

I snipped a small, fluffy bud from a lower point on Aurora a few days ago, and let it air dry on a shelf. It dried and broke up to about 1/3 of a bowl. Even without curing it tasted pretty good and gave me a light, relaxed buzz. The next week or two of maturing and then a month of curing should...

Toying with a perpetual harvest schedule as follows. I'm not sure if I'm going to try it now, I have 7 clones, 4 going to a friend, and keeping 3. I may keep 1 in soil as a mother, and take the other 2 to flower when they hit about 8-10 inches tall. The other way would be just to flower them all...

Vaporizing is definitely the healthiest way to "smoke." On the one that I have, I find setting it to 360 F is about perfect, as long as the bud itself isn't overly dry to begin with. I find vaping AI to give you a kind of flushed feeling at first, mostly warm, tingly ears, followed by deep...
