alrite! just moved into a new house that came with a greenhouse so thought id have a blast at growing an auto as we didn't move in till the end of june. I think im somewhere about 4 weeks into flower and all seems to be going well, got some nice pistol growth and frosting and it proper stinks as soon as the sun comes out. does anyone know when I should be expecting the buds to start swelling? ive added some photos from start to where im at now. all comments welcome.

not familiar with this strain but if you know the breeder time
then it would be safe to add a month to that
from my experience most 70 day strains take 10-14 weeks depending on pheno
to be right but can be harvested at almost any time past what the breeder claims it just wont be optimal but will still get you baked just yield less

got the seeds from seedsman.com. from what i gather with autos aslong as you use good well drained airy soil and plant straight into a decent size pot they do ok. only bought autos coz it was end of june when i started. am well happy with how its turned out hopefully be a good smoke.

I am doing the same sort of thing... I had some ak48 seeds lying around so decided to plant 6 at the end of june in my mums greenhouse. Unfortunately she didnt realise and planted her basil in the same pots so i lost 5 and now only one remains! It's just shown first signs of being female after a week of taking it inside and out every night and morning. Can i ask how long it has been since the first signs of pistols? Also, are you in the US?

here's a pic of mine incase you were interested....

powergu, plants lokking good mate. ul be surprised how much they grow during flower. mine was tiny when i started to flower but shot up all of a sudden. dont know if u know but it is an auto strain so it starts flowering on its own after about 3 weeks from sprouting even with 20 hours sunlight. im in the uk and id say it was about 5 weeks since first pistols and weather has been good so far.

I think mine is going to pretty big- Ive read they double in size. Mine seeds cant have been auto flower since they were veging for 2 months. Interested to see how much you harvest so i can get an idea myself!
