It’s all about genetics..
Photo or Auto.

Good luck! WW is one of the most hardy cultivars there is!
Also what football team do you cheer for? :bigjoint:

That was one of the things that drew me to WW in the first place. My plan was to do the Durban (100% Sativa- Rudy's contribution) then folow with the WW, (Hybrid- heavy Sativa) then finish up with Northern Lights ( 100% Indica) to finish as the heat starts in the Sacto Valley. All of these would be Auto's as I wanted to try autos out and figured I could get 300-500 gr per run, as I have in the past.

I was interested in Land Race varities and old school strains. Primarily for tier vigor and hopefully uniform phenos. If the Auto versions didn't produce I could always blame the Rudy for it. (:

I follow the 49ers and the Raiders. ALthough I and my wife are fans of Tom Brady and will root for him in any game that isn't 49ers.

Growers Choice says they take 65-70 days of "Flowering" so I'm figuring another 30 days to get started from seed. So 3.5 months or so. I'm hoping for a little faster, but I'll wait if the Durban is as good as its rep.

Yes it NFT, oops. Basically spraying the roots and letting them hang out in the air.
In my previous runs I grew some dope, I'm smoking as I type. Not ass kicking but calming. Mostly Indica stuff.

Today is my birthday and I got a Amazon present, My new light and Ph pen will be delivered today! I expect the seeds to show up in a few days. I'm got to clean up and get my new Scrog screen expanded to 2'x3' to fit the foot print of the light.

I'm going to crack three seeds and see if I can fit three girls in my bathtub. I may lose one but two is enough if I train them right.

Don't forget to add time for drying and curing. You don't want to smoke it green.

I figure the playoffs will give me time to cure so I'll be ready for the trials by mid-playoffs, and full cured on the big day!

The WW's have put down a root all the way thru the Rapid Rooter. I'm going to feed it with some lite ferts but just the tip. The Durban little seed is going on it's third leaf and still hasn't gotten over 3/4" tall. No roots at all thru the rooter.

I was thinking that I'd transplant it in to a small soil pot and see if that made it grow some , It's almost five weeks from germ and the WW's are only a week old and are two inches tall unfolding their first true leafs.

The Malawi auto I grew was very nice smoke! Uplifting and clear headed, which faded into a relaxing stone. Too much during the day and you felt a little heavy. But the weed was never overally strong just very smokable

Growing an Zamaldelica right now and it’s scaring me lol Absolute beast of a thing that looks like Medusa lol

You are gonna have at best 5 weeks of vegetative, then autos start flowering no matter what, and the usual veg time is between 3 and 4 weeks, so, you can transplant? sure, but if you go that way, keep in mind that there is no enough time for recovering before flowering, and your plant is gonna be a nice little one. There are some autos that can be transplanted and even topping, they are 2nd generation, some breeders call it xxl, giant autos... but 99% of autos is much better to put them in the final container from the start, I saw some people using air-pots and just putting it in the ground with the whole air-pot, even people that cut the botton of the pots and put it in a bigger pot, idk, it seems a bit time waste, just put it in the final container/ground and you are golden with autos. I'm not sure if all strains, but tons of strains would go flowering if get root bound, so you just could have even less veg time, so give em enough room from the start, I like to use 18 to 21 liters fabric pots, half of the times there is more than needed room, but for outdoor work fine for me, and with more sativa leaning (sativas usually grow much more roots and faster) or bigger autos, is fairly enough.

You just have to know what you’re doing that’s all. Otherwise they will be stunted.

If you don’t. Stick it in a big pot and hope you don’t drown/underwater it and stunt it that way lol

Sure, when you know what's you are doing things should go smooth as silk.

You took me totally wrong and ignored what I was saying. Of course it's possible to transplant autos, but my point was that you should not do it because they will be stunted. It's no skin off my nose if you grow a single nug "cola" from your $12 seed; knock yourself out.

CAN be stunted be, not WILL be. I start every auto in a solo cup, haven't stunted one yet. I think that was his point; the info you're giving is like some absolute "don't", but it's not.

Most people know that when they eat chicken, you spit out the bones and eat only the chicken. I guess there are a lot of people here that need their food separated, chewed, and spoon fed to them. Personally I don't care of you stick nails through the stems and use cat piss for fertilizer.

Yeah but you're basically telling people "don't eat chicken with bones in it or YOU WILL choke on them" with your autoflower advice. Still not true.
