DNA Genetics 60 Day Wonder - First Grow

Agito said:

i think they need a dose of N they still look 10-14 days away and need so feed to get finished of more rapid

based on the day 56 pics

On day 55 I gave it a mild shot of N. I'm a little scared to do it at this point since the number of amber trichs is finally starting to increase, while the clear trichs are now a fairly small percentage (< 30%). I'd say my ration of clear/cloudy/amber is ~ 25%/65%/10%.

I'll post pics tomorrow Agito, hopefully that will give you a better idea of where I'm at. If you still think I'm more than a week away tomorrow, I think I'll take the advice.

Thanks man.

based on that ratio id be looking more at 5%clear 75% cloudy 20% amber so 5-7 days should be good to go

Looks good man... hope mine turn out half that nice. How would you describe the odor from just 1 plant on a scale of 1 - 10? 10 being the stronger odor.

I jut started my little lady 7 days ago and am still debating on odor control. Cab may be too small for scrubber and 4" in-line fan... like I originally wanted to.

I was tossing around the Ona idea. Are you familure and what are your thoughts on Ona masking the smell... dude told me my apt may just smell like Ona.. but not dank.

I have no way to exaust it outside, all I can do is open my window and get the ducting close to it... but living on the 1st floor sucks... someone could see it possibly if I hung it out or even put it right up to the screen?

So I'm left with using Ona & exausting it back into the corner of my room and leaving the window open as much as possible.

Any help greatly appretiated!

Thanks

Thanks for the reply...I would say the "strength" of the smell is fairly mild (5/10). Mind you, this is just my estimate. This girl is part of my 1st ever indoor grow, so smell strengths are something I never paid attention to until recently. Even now, it's not much of an issue for me since I live in a single family home so forgive me, but I don't have knowledge of the cab method you're asking about. I'm sure someone else will though.

Having said that, when I walk in the door to my house, I can smell her. Not a super dank smell, but to those in the know, it is unmistakable. Now I do have a fan going in that room full time, so that probably serves to explain some of the residual odor. I think that some minor exhausting would fix the issue.

If you're ever looking for an almost odorless grow, check out the Auto #1 in my sig. That thing has almost zero odor, even 3 weeks from completion.

Cool man... Apreesh! I'll check out the Auto #1...

Thanks again for the info.

Ok, Day 62 today. I am off today and Saturday and I think Saturday will be harvest day. That will be day 66.




Clearly could have used more nutes early, but hindsight is 20/20 and all that . Still not bad for a first indoor grow.

nice solid cola's they look nice
what ratio you running now?

dude i am a first time auot grower your thread inspired me to try! I got a freebie auto jack and got her popped from bean three weeks ago. I must say you have done a good job by that plant in my eyes. I can only hope that my auto jack will flourish as yours did. i noticed alil wilt due to super cold weather lately but regulated it with a heater. Does anyone know can we clone auto's?

Thanks - The MH does make a BIG Diff. - Used the CFL at the start because I wasn't sure and didn't want to risk a valuable seedling - how much earlier would u suggest? A Week? or Right from the start? IF this one works out I may try another @ some point.

I start my seeds with a 400w.

good ole auto jack!

Nothing the entire way except water, with the exception of a ¼ tsp/gal dose of all purpose MG maybe 10-12 days ago. Which I'm sure is why I have so much yellowing/browning at the end here. Seems like she ran out of Nitrogen and maybe a few other things here in the last couple weeks. Sure as hell hasn't hampered trich production tho, wow!

Thanks man. Threads like this one here inspired me to try autos too .

As for cloning, forget it. All of my research indicates that even though you can get an auto to root, you will never get any production out of her. Mainly because these things start putting out pre-pistils within 2 weeks and flowering soon thereafter. I read where one guy cloned his auto and got 2 grams dried out of it LMAO.

Lookin' good. Very nice, pretty indica lookin' leaves.

When I decided to give autos a go, I made the decision not to mess with my first one at all. Just put her in the dirt and see what happened. As it so happens, this one did well. My 1st Auto Seeds Auto #1 (grow link in sig) I also left alone, but she is starting to yellow also, so I started giving her some nutes.

Well because the Auto #1 grew so tall for me, I decided to experiment on the 2nd one. I supercropped her and everything and she's doing ok. Turns out these autos are pretty durable so don't be scared to mess around with yours! At least I would recommend LST'ing her since it seems to help the side branch colas fill out more.

Oh. I forgot to mention that I snipped one side branch last Friday (Day 58 that would have been) and it's been drying for four days now. I'm going to give it a quick smoke here in a minute just to see if I can't get an idea of what the finished product is going to be like. Stay tuned!

When did you 1st give her nutes? I started on Day 7 (1/4 strength of what it called for).

1.25ml GH FloraGro
1.25ml GH FloraMicro
1.25ml GH FloraBloom.


I also gave her 2 drops of CAL-MAG yesterday.

I attached (2) Day 8 pics & (1) Day 7...

That's just it, as I mentioned in the post above, I've given her next to nothing. Literally ¼ tsp/gal of MG all purpose, just one time. Frankly it was too late to be effective. This shows how durable this girl is. Great plant for first timers.

Of course a 1000w HPS doesn't hurt lol.

i am deeply against auto because i feel any plant can be an auto with a 12/12 from start or 1 week veg ... but if ever did do an auto ,dna genetics would be the company i would have faith in

you get what im saying .. 60 day auto or c99 1 week veg 8 week flower.. or nl 1 week veg 8 week flower.. its 9 weeks whatever way you look at it

there is alot of 7 0r 8 week strains out there.. 1 week veg them and you have fantastic bud with the speed of so calld auto flowering ...

sorry i was meaning resin ratio

Oops, my fault.

I'd say 20%/75%/5%. This plant seems to have very few amber trichs. Strange.

Ok, I checked several spots this morning and I think I may harvest before Saturday. Amber trichs have started appearing more over the last 24 hours. Now maybe 10-15% in some spots.

thats a good sign! anything above 20-25% should be good with very few clears
id rather harvest late than early that why autos get a bad rep eager beavers cutting early

Harvest time! Harvested yesterday (1/11/2013, Day 65). Here it is all hung up:




I think I should end up with a good yield weight. Will let you all know.
