thanks for the comment. if i had to guess i would say around maybe an ounce to an ounce and a half per plant, and there are five plants in there. it's a sativa dominant strain but gets its flowering speed and bud density from its northern lights parent. but predominantly it takes after its haze and skunk parents to produce a stone that makes up for the modest yields

thanks gonzo

the beefier ones are really deep and skunky smelling, and the taller ones have a really fruity and herbal smell. first strain i've grown to show one of more or another trait from different parents between seeds

i was also pretty surprised at how well these budded for autos.

i recommend it, but do a better job than me with the soil. i usually don't see deficiencies when i grow from a pre-mixed organic soil but these used up all of the phosphorous i put into the soil before i could bat an eyelash. they'll use basically anything you give them so long as the micronutrients are spot on

i grow organic under a 400w hps. basic soil mix depending mostly on blood and bone meal, guanos and live water as fertilizers.

i just grow em in my under-stair closet

well balls, i had pictures of harvesting and manicuring, before harvest etc, of the two plants that ripened off faster than the other three

but the SD card i had the pictures on got stepped on and the plastic broke. now i can't get them offa there

but here are pictures of both the curing nugs from the harvested plants, as well as the 3 that are still in the room ripening off

i added a 216 watt t5 to the 400w in the closet a week ago when i chopped the two plants, so i'm hoping that having ripened off a couple weeks with ~33% more light will have some effect. maybe more jar appeal

this plant, which is from the last post, is dry

time to come out of the bags

this one has kept its skunky/fruity smell through the drying process

cola

this plant yielded 3.35 oz (~99g) dry bud

despite pure water for 2 weeks this one is still holding out. it's weird how they're all turning ripe at different times. i suppose that sort of makes sense in an autoflower

it's the one i planted in a 1.5 gallon pot because i had run out of soil mix

didn't stop it from growing to over 4ft tall. now it's scaffolded in strings and the main cola is held up with a wire hanger

support strings, otherwise the whole thing topples over under the weight. here's your case for big pots

also, today, i switched to a 600w dimmable HPS + 216w t5, rather than 400w HPS

almost there...

i guess this one took after the haze parent more than the others



it is really feeling the flush. i don't think i've ever stretched a plant this thin on nutrients trying to get it to finish

prolly going to need to come down in the next day or 2

the raspberry cough it's in with got switched to 12/12 last night so maybe that will help it ripen off

i am going for a heavier amber count with this one

the guy i spoke with at nirvana recommended that i chop when she shows 70% amber

i've never heard that before in my life but we'll see how she tastes and feels with around 50%

which she looks like she is getting close to
