Thank you for the rplies.
Yes I know that photo plants have alot of advantages..
I have some of those seeds also.
I plan on growing a few, when I get better lights and a bigger tent.
But for now the 1 plant I am growing is just for fun.
A hobby grow,
I am in northern cali, so its alittle to warm to grow indoors.
I started the 1 autoflower and I just could not throw her out. LOL

I've not previously worked with autoflower types before and knowing your climate I am curious what they'll do. That's why I'm interested. I've got a completely different microclimate than you do thus they would act differently here. I'm running regulars and have a small greenhouse grow going with the following:
Mr Nice Super Silver Haze
Swami's The One x Pakistani Chitral Kush
Swami's The One x PCK/Chocolate Thai
Swami's The One x Punto Rojo
Nigerian Sunshine x The Black/NL#5Haze
Brainwarp(ie: The indica Texada Timewarp pheno)
Ringo's Gift
Slo_Flo(ie: DJ Short Flo x Purple Urkle)
The lens on my phone cam is destroyed so all of my pictures come out looking like mosaics thus, I don't post a lot of imagery. You'll see why below(taken last week). Lololol!
But I will be staying tuned-in on you! Happy growing, bud!

That might be to much light. Many places I've been reading are saying between 30-45watts per sq ft for led (I know there's tons more that's involved then watts). I am growing under LED also and noticed that the buds further away on the sides started to tighten/plump up more then the main ones so I cut it down to 300 real watts over my 2 plants a couple days ago and the mains are starting to plump up now.

Hello thanks for the reply.
I have 2 300w led lights but they are really around 130w each.
So I am using 260w to 280w for this 1 plant.

So is 260w of led light too light for 1 autoflower?
Should I start using just 1 300w led, which would be 130w - 140w from now on?

I just kinda noticed in your pics that the side buds look a lil larger then your main top cola. That's what happened to one of mine so I cut the light by 270 watts and it seems to me that it is now getting bigger. I've got my 2 plants in a 4foot x 2foot area with 2 150 watt (from the wall) DIY led lights for a couple days now and it seems to me that they are growing better now. Im far from a professional so don't take what I'm saying as fact it's just something I ran into myself and sharing what I did.

You would be wise to train your plants next time - it will triple your yield.

Yea its just a hobby grow.
I used the leds to keep the heat under control.
Growing indoors in northern California in the summer is a pain in the ass.
I do have a hps light but it was just too hot to run.

Yes this was just a hobby grow.
I topped this autoflower at the 5th node.
I thought it would stay short like all the other autos i had grown.
I wont grow this strain again.

I grow just for a hobby.
I lets friends and family have whatever i yield.
So its just a relaxing hobby.
I am never really worried about yield.
I just try to get a plant from seed to harvest.
