How long ago did you switch to 12/12?

You shouldn't have to with an autoflowering strain, that's the whole point of autoflowering.

Although it may well speed maturity IDK.

What are the benefits of MH over HPS in flowering stage if any? I switched to HPS 17 hrs ago.

vaporedout · 07-20-2010, 09:07 AM

i think its opposite, you want HPS in flower and MH in veg... something about the light spectrum or something like that. reds/blues......that right giles? here i found this lowryder info......

ohh well its another forum, hope it helps

Yeah HPS is the one for flowering as it has the right yellow orange-ish autumnal colour.

There may be some benefits to MH- stretching may be reduced and some claim increased resin production on the trichs.
In any case HPS is a fair bit more efficient in terms of lumens/watt.

My plant is now 17 inches tall and 17 inches wide. It has 1 main branch and 3 minor branches. The minor branches are approx 14 inches tall. each branch has multiple flowers. When and how will the plant begin to produce resin?

farmergiles · 07-23-2010, 03:19 PM

Round about a week ago and on the trichomes which you can see with a magnifying glass.

Google image trichomes.

My plant is now 27 inches tall and has 1 major branch with 5 slightly lesser branches. It has been in flowering stage for 16 days. What are the indicators that tell me to harvest? Should I trim some of the leaves now?

Peace

farmergiles · 08-05-2010, 10:45 AM

Looking good.

Why trim the leaves?

It's going to be another month ish.

She will fatten up and the trichomes will turn cloudy/ amber when she is ready.

Hooligans · 08-23-2010, 02:06 PM

I harvested the plant and hung it to dry for 1 week. I then removed all the bud and placed it in a jar with a small piece of orange peel to cure. The total weight of bud prior to cure is 82 grams.

Thank you to all who helped with this grow. I learned a great deal about growing. I think the most important thing I did learn is its a weed and it takes a great deal of stupidity to kill a weed. I know I brought my share of stupidity to the task.

Peace

No harvest pics?

farmergiles · 08-23-2010, 02:51 PM

Ok that was quite quick then. How long from germ to finish?

stoneric · 08-23-2010, 04:00 PM

Yeah, that pic from the 4th looked like it had a ways to go. How dry was it after 1 week? I don't know about going from hanging, straight to jars. You might have wanted to try putting the bud in a brown paper bag(s) for a couple of days to draw more moisture out of them.
