My two confidential cheese plants will be ready in about two weeks. The two cataract kush plants should be ready in 2-3 weeks and same with the california hash plant. The only plant that is behind is the power kush, that one may need 5 more weeks.

Sailor Jerry, here is the california hashplant I grew a couple of years ago. It got knocked over bad by a storm and I had to harvest a couple of weeks early, but it was still pretty good. Mine had a minty/piney smell and would have finished about Oct. 1st. It should be a good strain for Michigan good luck.

Nice line up James! I'm getting my buddy to order some of the Iranian G13 tomorrow.. I've never ran an autoflower before indoor or out but have been wanting to for a while, if you or anyone has run that strain when did you guys pull it compared to everything else and how was the yeild/quality? I heard that cloning the IRG13 is hard to get them to root and if they do root they are pretty weak, is that true for you? Salior Jerry, I also have Dinafem California hash seeds, have you ran that at all? I got Blue hash (Blueberry x California Hash) indoors right now, and I'm loving it! Dave I feel you, but hopefully it should be that extra barrier to keep majority of wanders out, but thanks for letting me know.

The Iranian g13 isnt the auto. I grew it last year but. They went out really late and were a little stunted at first. I was still really impressed with the end result. It finished late September. The buds on them were really big considering the size of the plants.
Im really excited to see what they do this year under better conditions.
Im doing the Iranian auto for the first time this year so I cant really comment on that.
I got the critical sensi star just because I wanted to try another strain from delicious seeds. There northern light blue and fruity chronic juice was really good to me my first year growing.

I put out iranian autos on may 5th and harvested july 27. make sure you plant them in a location where they can take advantage of the morning sun. My iranian autos had a pretty tough time with mold and powdery mildew. I should have selected a better place for them.

Hey sailor jerry. How big were they when you put them outside? Did they start to flower right away?
Im starting mine in a week or two indoors

I've never done outdoor but I've always like the idea of using at least some autos. I'm sure its nice to be entertained by buds earlier in the season and to break up psychological effects of trimming like madmen. lol

If this works out ill probably run a few autos every year now.
Im suprised you have never done outdoors. The sun is free.
I bought a 600 watt setup last year and tried the indoor thing. I got a few ounces and a lot of bitching from the wife about the power bill. Im just gonna stick to growing under the sun.

Someday I will :) For now I prefer to keep it legal and not risk incarceration. My current living situation just doesn't allow me to do any outdoor, and I can't afford the time or the risk of doing anything off site. That's why I'm here! To see all of the beauties you fellas make. For now I'll keep my indoor garden green and keep learning new things. I'm really digging organics... hopefully someday I'll be able to apply it to outdoor cultivation, but not just yet.

Hey sailor jerry. How big were they when you put them outside? Did they start to flower right away?
Im starting mine in a week or two indoors

Last year I put out about a dozen 12" clones of the IAF in the beginning of may. They started to flower after week or two outdoors. If you want them to get big, veg them inside as long as you can.
My friend who had the mother IAF that i got the clones from, put the mother outside after it was rooted into a 20 gallon pot and it yeilded 13 zips with maybe another qp lost to bud rot.

I dont know if it was the location we planted them at last year or if it is the structure of the plant, but I had a hell of a time with mold and mildew. This year. im going to try to plant mine out in the open where it can get full sun most of the day.

I am also going to experiment with how much I ammend the soil. Last year, some of the clones I put into poor soil and they had much tighter and more dense buds. It made trimming a lot easier but the yeild suffered. The plants that got good ammended soil had large fluffy buds that were a bitch to trim on account of the rot and that the buds were pretty leafy.



Firelane, I havent grown the california hash plant before. Last year I was going to try to grow a freebie seed i got from the attitude but It didnt germinate.

Thanks for the info jerry. My Iranians will have about 10 weeks indoors before they go outdoors. There gonna be in 10 gallon smart pots from start to finish with straight promix and dynagro nutes.
The spot they will be in gets direct sunlight from sunrise to around 5:00 in the afternoon. Hopefully that keeps my yeild up and the mold down.
I think im going to get some dyna protek to use on all my plants. Its supposed to really help with pest and mold prevention.

I thought you couldn't veg autoflowers, cause they automatically flower? Just keep them on 24/0 and they don't flower? I have Blue Mammoth auto flower from barney's this year, but was going to wait til later to start it in case it flowers right away. Think I can veg it inside for a bit?

The Iranian autoflower isnt really a auto. It has no rudundrals in it. It just flowers on anything less then 24 hours light. It can be cloned also.
It pretty much has all the pros of a auto and none of the cons

James The Smart pots if they are the black egg crate looking ones dry out real fast .If you cant water every 2-3 days you might want to rethink using them

There actually a knock off called yeild pots. Im only using them for the Iranians. They will close to home and get plenty of attention.
My other strains will be in the ground

Is this cut only or can one get his hands on some seeds?

I suppose there is a convenience charge there for outdoor growers. Hows she do indoors? Does she benefit from a longer lighting period with more production?
