This is an auto flower experiment.
1 Caramelicious Feminized Auto. Only one may be entertaining. More than one would be a piss poor waste of good seed that don't come cheap these days.
The Goal is to show some results without the big brother type lecture on why I say you can’t grow that.
Not looking for a pissing match over autos.
I’m sure the cash croppers will send out plenty of hate.
It’s just a little ditty aimed at the poor boy who is stuck in a 1-plant box, or the girl in the corner who doesn’t ask questions because of all the sarcasm that’s spread so freely here.
I know nothing about autos. I’ve never grown or even seen an auto plant before.
I fully understand the common logic that a clone will finish the same time as the parent. I’ve visited a number of sites that all put autos down. They all seem to repeat the same sentiments. Hundreds of articles on what not to do and what will happen but no pictures.
I’m not real big on posting a lot of pictures but I will put up a few so people can see my results.
The conditions for growing this little experiment are all bad; no they’re worse than bad.
The box is a real joke. Made from about ¾s of a sheet of 1/8” hardboard. Since it is basically paper, I can only hope humidity does not destroy it before the plant finishes.
The box is 16 inches X 14 inches and 4 foot tall.
The lighting is horrible. Two cut up led strip lights and two 13w cfl are all it gets for light until its last 2 weeks when it will get 150w hps. The wiring is indescribable, a short circuit in waiting. I know how poor this is but it’s an experiment in everything people are told not to do. So, for about 6 weeks it gets only 80 watts of dirt-poor lighting. Then a couple weeks of HPS. It may produce enough for a couple of half ass joints.???
Since this is the poor boy way we have no fan and heat could destroy the plants.

The box is not light tight.
Mom is in a 2 gallon fabric pot growing in coco. Mom is now 4 weeks old.
The first clone taken, when mom was 2 weeks old is in a 1gallon plastic pot of Pro Mix potting soil. It is not showing any flower yet.
A second clone from Mom taken yesterday from new under growth that has no flower is now waiting for roots to develop. Clone from a 4-week-old flowering auto, if it roots, according to the popular voices, will be a sad little munchkin with a 4-week life span that produces nothing.
Everything gets rainwater. There are no ph checks. Since Mom is in coco she must have food but even that is done cheap. I am using the Jungle Juice trio 1ml per liter of water. I don’t know or care how much it needs or wants but it is getting this; day 1 water – day 2 nothing – day 3 food – day 4 nothing and the cycle just repeats. There will be no cal-mag added just what little is in the food. The clones growing in dirt will get the same food and water.
Wednesday night I should be back to check for roots on the new clone.
