day 34

hairs are increasing around the bud sites.

also i noticed right down the bottom of the stem some tiny little leaves have sprouted, anyone else seen this before (3rd pic)?

i started a plant about the same time as you 2/1. sadly it turned out to be a male.
we have same size grow rooms. i vegged for a month/then switched 12/12 2 days later the preflowers i had ended up showing male.
any ways your grow looks great keep up the good work. i am interested in the auto's since they will be less likely to outgrow our size grow room.
congrats again will be checking in to see how you make out.

a couple pics first is male plant at 33 days showing most of root mass, last are grow room light setup.

hey hiitsbob,

nice looking grow room mate.

i know your pain about the male - i started an outdoor grow in october last year. the plant was going off, becoming a total monster even with a bit of lst. and then this happened:

Looking good Geelong! I am also from Vic :-P. Grow ozzie grow haha! I have 2 autoflower autoassassins in 1 pot at day 40 now, so just ahead of yours. They are a lot smaller than yours though, and I had to LST them a lot to fit in my grow room. If it helps, mine didn't grow up at all in the last few days so hopefully yours will have stopped too by now. My budds are just filling out though.
Here is my grow at day 40

I only have the one, 130W 2700K CFL. I also have an extractor fan with carbon filter as stealth is very important for me! With such a small grow cabinet, I can have a fan dimmer to make the fan less powerfull yet quieter and it still sucks like a st kilda street whore! Thanks for your tips about harvest times by the way, I will get a magnifier glass in the next few days so that I can start keeping a closer eye on the trichs!

Wow, still looking great! I just found my other autoassassin I left outside a few weeks ago, so pathetic compared to your green hulk of a plant :clap:. See on my thread for a photo haha!

I know the feeling of wanting to smoke it too! The buds look so juicy on our plants, the anticipation is killing me!!!

the anticipation will amke the smoke that much better when you get a chance to smoke it though
that plant looks very healthy and is about week three in flower it looks like good job geelong

Thanks guys.

Im pretty happy with they way things have gone - considering the crazy heat wave we are having at the moment.

I dont have a thermometer in the room, so no idea what the temps are getting up to, but she is taking it like a trooper.

And god yes, the anticipation is making my mouth water and ive still got a few weeks to go - i know im going to end up taking one of the lower buds in a week or two, i wont be able to help myself

day 38

i went to check on the growbox in the middle of the day because it was 38C outside, just making sure she wasnt wilting or anything and the lights were on when they should have been off.

i checked out my timer and it seems its either busted or was faulty all along.

so it turns out that ive been running her on 24/0 the whole time - oh well, from the look of her, it doesnt seem to have made too much difference.

will invest in a better timer for the next grow.

:owow. This is why autoflowers are sooooo great, otherwise your plant would be stuffed! If you wanted to change her to 20/4 you may still be able to, I haven't read anywhere that you couldn't do that but I am not sure. Either way it probably doesn't matter too much!

yeah, im not too sure either. might a well just leave it for now, just gotta make it through these next couple of 35C+ days and the temp wont matter that much.

day 40

mixed some chopped up banana peel into the top layer of soil, should give her a nice dose of potassium for next couple of weeks - although it was only one, probably give her another couple of peels in the next day or two
