Comparing to one "blogger"s grow on internet (same seeds) mine seemed to have a little better calyx to leaf ratio, so thats cool.

http://trichome-world.com/amnesia-auto-seedsman-week-9/ there is the blog, same week. Two totally different structured plants but flowers looking similar. He is growing under 600w HPS with both organic and synthetic fertilizers. I'm growing with all organic and homemade stuff under barely 140w led light. Cool to see I'm hanging in there so I wanted to share it with you guys.

Still amazed by my phones camera, it's a 100 bucks phone from 2016. Not sure how you guys can manage to take shitty photos with all those Iphones and other spaceship stuff.

Didn't have much time to wait and see the effects but considering I slept like a Cosby victim I would say that thing works..

Edit: I just farted and it smelled like weed, that should be a good sign also. Wasn't really a big yielding fart but quality terpine profile. Impressed.

Yeah they look okay. They started growing much faster after I lowered the light and went with 20/4. Atleast the colas that light can reach. Will post more pics soon. My strips are on their way too, last few days of waiting I think.

By the way I need opinion on something, I'm thinking on growing in a smaller pot next run. I think 50l is too big of a pot for autos. They take their time to grow huge roots but till the time they establish that big of a root system they go into flowering and stop growing anyway. So they pretty much waste their time to grow all those roots. What do you guys think? Should I go with smaller pot(s) next run? Any of you has experience growing in such small space? Should I go single plant scrog with smaller pot? Because that's what I'm thinking.

I feel like I'll have very exciting update pictures when lights turn off. Because they started to produce some serious resin. I just smoked some oven dried prunings from today, shit got me bumping. This thing is no joke.

i see why you think that way, but honestly more soil is better for the ecosystem of that soil. it's more forgiving. and really 13 gal isn't all that much. if you're goal is no-till, which is great, then i'd stick with what ya got. besides, with your decreased light intensity from this grow, you don't even know the potential of your best plant yet ;) . and disturbing all that soil? nah! just leave it. look at it this way... if you go an auto in a native soil outdoors, is that container too big? i think you see where i'm going. Just keep experimenting with plant numbers and you'll figure out what works best for you. i don't have experience with autos so i couldn't tell you how to approach that. i've only grown photos.

Yeah now looking at it I totally agree with that. I will go with wicking system next grow, I believe that will help with better root growth. Need to figure out how to install wicking part from outside the pot instead of inside so I don't disturb the soil. Also still cant decide if I want to go single or 2 plant, I might be able to use lenght of the strips for 2 plants. What do you think?
