I haven't really noticed any quirks with the roadrunner compared to the other auto's that I have going. In fact my roadrunner looks a lot better than the haze auto that I started at the same time. I have some purple mazar autos that I started about 3 weeks earlier, and they were about the same size at the same age. But that is the extent of my knowledge on autos (other than what I've read on here)
The one quirk I have noticed about autos in general is how slow they start out. It seems like it takes them a long time to get growing vigorously. Maybe something is wrong with my technique, but I have had non auto seeds start out a lot faster.
I will post a detailed update in a couple days, my plant doesn't look much different than my last up date.
How long has it taken other people's plants to show sex? With my mazars I had one group take exactly 3 weeks and another group take exactly 4 weeks. The wierd thing is that both groups showed sex on the same day, after my timer malfunctioned and left them in the dark for about 16 hours. Even though one group was a week older. has anybody ever tried to "trick" their autos into flowering?
Your right about the slow starting
however the Roadrunner so far has been a tough little bitch! I'm surprised how well she came round from a very low ph soil, when the Bubblicious shrivelled up and was stunted for twice as long with the same problem. I have 8 different types of auto's they all started slow, when compared with an non auto that is now 3 times as big at the same age.
My Roadrunner showed her pre-flowers at 16 days, but at this time I was having the problems, so I reckon I missed a good week of optimum growth, however its now at full bloom at 38 days in, with 35 days or so left. I feed her Ionic bloom and boost at the E.C of 1.2 with 2 litres of filtered luke warm water of ph 7.0 (waiting for a new meter) every 48 hours when soil is dry, yes she is a thirsty girl! 35 days in and the small leaves around the buds are now showing THC, I have Lollipopped her as the lower smaller branches were over shadowed by the top, there seams to be one main cola with 2 secondary colas either side, but with many other branches with good bud formation developing, I believe/hope she has done all of her stretching now, just waiting for her to fill out more, plenty of time yet, The smell is the sweetest Ive smelt for a long time, sort of skunky, which doesnt over power the grow room as of yet lol.
