I just looked at her trichs with my 60X lens, mostly clear. I checked her ph & ppms and found she was very light almost no Nutes! I gave her the 1/3/2 Flora grow/bloom and Micro and will check her in an hour for ppm.

No my ave is is 11 weeks, from pop 2 chop, those were anomoleus the dwarf was tiny and I ran 1 for 110 days. I would never chop a plant with clear trichomes in fact I wait till at least half turned amber.

She's in Hydro and her roots are about 4 Inches around and 15-18 Inches long. she's got another 10 gallons or so to fill the root chamber. As soon as I finish my pizza, I'll go check her ppms.

Ok, cool, my concern is my 2 plants were so aggressive and flowered so early that the plant's won't have time to flower properly before the flower I have goes over.

If a Auto breeder says 80-90 days , look at 110 days & youll be closer to the mark
My best has been 7 oz dry , from a Autopounder by Auto Seeds & that took 115 days from pop to chop ,
But ive also done a lot worse than that , they can be very fickle (auto's in general)

I've got five more rounds of seeds on hand, all Autos. WW, Northern Lights, GSC, and Another TD.
My research isn't over. bongsmilie I don't need much to keep me out of the Dispensaries and supporting a bunch of Dopers! :lol: I mean I got all the stuff to do this and if I live long enough, I'll figure out how to grow that Puna Butter Sativa that blew my socks off in Hilo in 1982.

OP, please research and NEVER listen to this guy. You'll see why.

My sister lives in Hawaii she grew some shit called kona gold, allways wanted to try it again, it took awhile but I finaly got a few beans, back in the day you could not find better, but now all these years later thc content rose to the point were the weed was good no doubt but not top shelf by any means, you are looking for puna bud, I can see if I can find it for you, if I can find it it probably will not be an autoflower, let me look for you.

I thought what you were looking for was related to kona gold my sis mentioned it, you have 2 choices puna butter by th seeds, or puna buddaz by pua mana seeds, both are fem, but not autoflower, if that's what you want do it.

I smoked some Kona stuff but it wasn't a good as the stuff I got in Hilo from a hippy in a pizza joint. The volcano is burning all the Puna growers out.

I appreciate your offer, but that is how I got my Lemon Tree, from a RIU buddy. It was a beautiful plant and self scrogged easily, but threw off all my timing of my TD.

I'm sticking with autos for now. I got three 'Cheese' photo seeds for freebies from Seedsman. If I run all my Autos, then I might run the Cheese next winter, when it's cooler. I've got to get my system sorted out and perfect my scrogging/FIM/LST skills. I'm going to use my WW and Northern Lights seeds to perfect my techniques.

Another week passes and she still isn't ready. Damn! Last night she looked like she might be milky, but no amber. Seeing some change is nice though. I had almost decided to chop her Sunday, but she is turning, slowly.
Well all things come to those who wait, long enough?

Some stains go over fast, keep a close eye on them, my trichomes are so thick on my leaves it's crazy most of my pistols have gone over but my trichomes are still clear, you just cant rush nature.

13th week of the Tangerine Dream is passing. Last night I thought I saw some amber so I clipped a big bud and used my new 60X scope to check it out closely. Nope, nada, ziltch. one or two were ambered but most clear and maybe frosty a bit.
I check in on my dwarfs, some excess seedlings I had that are running 12/12 in a 50 watt LED tub in soil. Three, of six, are showing amber. I should get about a joint from each of them, so I'll let them run form a while to see what the different effects are form lightly to heavily ambered.

You should be seeing something by now, today i fed both plant and took a real hard look at them, up top most have gone milky, about 3 percent are amber, i now know im going to have to harvest sequentially, cola bud first, then bloom the bottom more, I hate this but I have 2 monster plants in a super tight space, I would have though that cuting your light would help, zoom in on this pic see my trichomes, most are milky some are not, and once in a while youl see a bit of amber, it will go fast now if I can get 12 more days I'll be happy, can you take a super close up pic like I did so I can zoom in and see what's going on?

Well you'd think so at 13 weeks for an auto. I can't get a close up with my camera, don't know why. Now that the seedlings are turning amber I feel a little better about waiting. The bud I cut last night was from about the 4/5th node and the tops are doing well. I'm still running 18/6 now and she has gotten over her Mg deff it appears.
I'm really liking my new 60x scope. My old dual 30x & 60 x loupe is too hard to use at 60x but the new one is easy and has builtin leds for light. The LED on the dual loupe doesn't work so I have to use my flash light with it.
I was thinking my probles may have been caused by too high a rez temp but now I think it was just a Mg deff and I may just start my Northern Lights/ WW Autos when the TD is finished. That would give me a nice Xmas present.

If you had a mag deficiency your leaves would have started to fade from the bottom up, a bit of food grade de earth fix is it up in a jiffy, I have a 90×loupe with a light but I find I can tell better by zooming in with my phone, zoom in on that little flower you will be able to see the trichomes perfectly, I can't help if I can't see what's going on, it's not possible to take it out from under your light and take a close up pic?
