And for outdoor auto growers, the equivalent to the flip to 12/12 is when the first preflowers show up, approximately 4 weeks after germination?

When you initially posted the note about bud washing, I was very dubious. Then my wife tilled (had me till) and area next to the grow zone with our electric tiller which covered the plants in an even coat of dust like the fallout from a distant nuclear exchange. And so I started washing. I'm now...

Yeah, more of a greyhound than a bulldog.

If I follow you: • Non-autos would nominally be X (weeks from germination to flower induction) + 9 weeks in your example = total duration. • Autos would be ~4 (weeks from germ to flower, a pretty standard 4 for autos) + Y (whatever the seed bank says "flowers in this many weeks") = total...

I've just started growing this season, so I don't have a feel for the duration of a complete grow. The breeders will list such specs as "flower in 60 days," which I've interpreted to mean "once it flowers, it will be 60 days 'til harvest." The few plants I've harvested so far followed this...

Hmm. That seems wrong. I've seen similar week ranges but have always been led to believe it was from beginning of flower to harvest. In any case, my one example is definitely not ready. I'll look around and see if I can figure out if my interpretation is correct.

Since this is my first season growing, everything is an experiment, including which breeders to use. There are so many, and I only have a few data points so far. I wish my local dispensary wasn't so snobbish about autos (they won't touch 'em), because then I could get better advice about autos...

I ended up accelerating harvest of all of 'em upon discovering bud caterpillars. I'll have to try again sometime to get a decent baseline — but there are so many strains to try, if one isn't an obvious star, then it might not be worth the time. Go on to something new!

That should be 63 days from flower, which for me started around day 30 from germination.

I might try photos at some point -- I have one mystery photo growing now, but I don't know what to expect (hence the 'mystery'). But my grow area is very polluted with nearby streetlights, and I'm concerned that will screw up flowering. But, maybe next season. Too late now.

Here ya go. I guess the whole plant is about 5-1/2 Deadpools high.

So here's mine at 58 days from germination (about 30 days into flower). Yes a bit small, but with about 30 days to go, I should get reasonable yield. Many, many trichomes, anyway — always a good sign.

And that makes perfect sense. But not everyone values quantity -- or even consistency -- above all else. Some of us, so long as we know we'll end up with enought good dope (of our own growing), are happy to putter around like any hobbyist. So far in my experience (which began of March this year)...

Can you effectively harvest -- taking off most of the branches but leaving a few undeveloped nodes? And would those nodes survive and then produce both hermaphroditic and female flowers? And does this work with autoflowers?

I've been thinking of trying that, but I don't have any males. I do have several of the Buddha seeds that should still be viable next season (getting a little late for this year), and maybe I can figure out how to induce hermaphroditism or even just cross with a non-ruderalis male at some time...

Seems as if we have different definitions for "compact," "inconspicuous," "powerful" and "worst." This suggests that you and I can't communicate at all. I'm OK with that. You?

Hard to say. It came out of a Buddha Seeds 10-pack assortment. It's probably their Syrup or some variant thereof. As for the leaf color, I haven't been doing this long, but that looks like the pictures I've seen of Ca deficiency.

I grow autos outdoor because they're compact and inconspicuous, and produce powerful bud regardless of photoperiod. Works for me.

There are definitely some squashed trikes, probably from me brushing the plant with the camera lens or running my quivering fingers up and down the buds exhorting them to swell . . . I've seen maybe 10 legitimately amber ones on all the buds, but about 2-3% that are, as you say, falling over...

I'll have another look this afternoon when the light's right. Obviously, I'm dying to cut the thing down. As for the spider mites, I'm actually OK on that -- turns out those are regular spider webs; my grow area is very spidery. There's a whole spider tram system of webs between the pots from...
