yeah i've heard of autos turning out pretty awesome under controlled conditions. Mine is coming along well i suppose. The hairs on the upper buds are about 30% orange but all of the hairs on the lower branches are still white. I thought plants were supposed to mature from the bottom up?

I hope your buds don't come out tasting like rust or metal from that screen... :P
But in all the setup looks very nice..
Peace bro!

The plant is about 17 inches tall when stood up straight and about a foot wide at the greatest point . It currently leans but is zip tied to a piece of wire in the soil for support.

so can i chop the top buds and let the others grow??

Yep, sure can...the ones that look done....the stuff underneath will continue to grow. I do it all the time.

Yours is about the same size as mine...I'd like to see it bigger. Once I get the beans, i'll pound 24-0 lights to them....I think I should switch to HPS for vegetation on this one, maybe it will make them stretch out more....:idea:

Right, so i made a rookie mistake. I've been adding more tiger bloom as the plants have gotten bigger but i have forgotten to adjust the ph during the process. plants look like they are showing signs of low ph i think. Can baking soda be used and if so how much?????

Any help would be welcomed. +rep

Grow isn't dead. I stopped posting due to lack of any responses or help- still i like to show them off.


Adjusted the ph with baking soda.
Ended up with 37 g's dry from the auto AK47 I topped and LST'd.

I have three ladies left.

as usual any comments are welcome.

ps- the reason one of the plants looked droopy is that it needed watered.:eyesmoke:

Awesome dude, they are great plants-got any pics??

i water every three to four days usually. the bushy one takes up way more water than the other two. the ak was watered every 3-4 days tho. basically twice a week. I let it the AK go 11 weeks. I made the mistake of harvesting the top most buds at 9 weeks and it wasn't as potent compared to the buds i let go 11. Fed with 1.5 tblsp of BigBloom and 1.5 tsp of Tiger Bloom as well as organic Molasses for a trich boost I started giving it straight water at about 8 weeks.Used ocean forest with perlite in 3 gallon container.



If anyone knows anything about WorldOfSeeds plants and can possibly identify what my WTF Ryderd may be---+rep will be given to your facemeat.

with the autoAK i got 37 g's, but i topped that a couple of times as well as LSTing.
The others are still goin for about another four weeks.
I used 60w cfls for supplemental side lighting, tubes were overhead.

those plants look like they are going to be fun. at first i harvested when the trichs were 80%cloudy with a few amber. i'd say wait till 50/50 (amber/cloudy)
