nice.. ya i can't wait to finish the AP my last one i had to cut at 55days cuz i needed the smoke.. and it was still only two hits to do the job.. so i can't wait to see how it is.. i want to try and give it at least 12wks.. let me know how the smoke is...I just cut down my AP last night. The plant on the left is the AP. View attachment 2852104View attachment 2852105View attachment 2852106 It took 77 days from the first white hair to done like 96 from seed. Other plants are still finishing.
i guess it depends on the person/needs.. 12 wks for a sativa to finish fat and frosty doesn't seem like a long time to me. a photo is going to take 12-14 after veg.. and while this plant is finishing out i'm also growing indica dominated that take 8-10wks... all in a 4x4 closet.. and when one finishes i chop it down and drop another seed in its place.. all in the same room all under the same lightsPlants look good, as does the buds...but is the whole negative hype around topping auto's not to do with time scale? I mean 12 weeks is way too long; may as well go for a photo...
what kind of yield would you get in 12 weeks from seed with a photo ?Plants look good, as does the buds...but is the whole negative hype around topping auto's not to do with time scale? I mean 12 weeks is way too long; may as well go for a photo...
ya i'm loving the Auto Pounder.. the first time i just grew it out.. such a nice looking plant huge sativa leaves and gets sooo fucking frosty...i had to chop that one early... this time i did a heavy circle LST i think it's gunna have a bunch of big colas plus with the big sativa leaves you get a ton of light penetration.. i have one more AP beans left but i'll be gettin more.. i will definitely be growing this a cpl times a yearThis is true...I'd probably run U.L.H. or Think Different for a long time more than any other auto. Like I pull just under 3oz at the moment at around 60 days, planting roughly every 10 days to keep a perpetual going - which suits me! Each to their own.
I've been checking out a rake of ways to grow, the 12/12 from seed thing is interesting for photo's, as is the 5 week veg 7 week flower cycle....but I'll be honest, I fuckin love auto's! I'm finding it real hard to convince myself to change to anything else. 12 weeks, 8 weeks, fuck it - they're all awesome. Plus some just can't be pushed any longer I suppose too.
I'm seriously considering the Auto Pounder too for my next, or Sweet Tooth. Is the Auto Pounder nice to grow?
all the pics i have for sweet tooth
it was topped at the first real node
i was topping auto's long before i found out that they didnt like it i was always happy with the results
They're on Attitude. Made by Dutch Passion.Think different auto? Is this some RIU private breeder seed or can I find one on the Attitude?
i was growing under cfl'sWhat was your results man, how much did you pull off them?
Yeah, I definitely noticed that light intensity plays a major role in finishing times.i was growing under cfl's
id pull 1-2 oz
2 68w cfl's
but it takes for ever under cfl most auto's do
i can pull about the same under the same watt HPS in about 70-75 days as opposed to 90
