this is my strain pinkie pie its an auto at the F6 that I made from crossing some auto ak47s and a photo madd krush (14 week sativa with pink pistils) no photoshop, in fact you can even see the mite damage lol this is a seed mom in a 1 gallon pot
Thats sweet, are you going to continue the generations or stopping at F6?

Keep selectively breeding and try to make a master pink kush lol

P3110001.JPG P3200003.JPG Your dirt looks dense compact. Autos demand airy, sandy type soil. The tap root grows fast and far, no less than a 3 gallon pot. My organic grow was half ocean farm 1/2 perlite to make it airy. amended with 2oz worm cast and 2oz azomite, Flowering started 3 weeks later, everyother water was dressed w 1 tablespoon molasses per quart. To make the soil sing. Once a week tablespoon of Jamacain guano stirred into the water real good, The plants exploded. They were under 400w HPS. They grew about 21/2 feet tall and finished in 9 weeks. the smoke was nice and smooth w/ exceptional buzz. A changed a few minds that were skeptic about autos. The candy kush yielded twice the Dark devil, The northern lights grew slower, a couple weeks behind,but delivered well. What u see in the pic was from one plant . In the pic, notice the dirt. Left to right, northern lights, candy kush, dark devil

the bomb seeds are photoshop purple

Its not Photoshop. I grew THC bomb photos which is the same in the autos. There is a pheno that purples like that. One out of a ten pack did. It was turning purple at 4 weeks.

I would not say its norm but it does throw purple phenos.

Yeah ive still got some work ahead of me but for the most part the strain is pretty stable for smell, color, resin just going to need 2 more outdoor generations to lock in the pink pistils, so maybe the F8 but ill be growing out a few more of this gen just to be sure I have enough genetic variation to carry me through the next couple without a loss of vigor.

haha fuck kush! pinkie pie is a sativa dom auto baby :)

Dark Devil is defiantly prettier to look at than than she smokes or yields. I crossed one of my Liberty Haze (fem) clones that I sprayed with CS I made , and also one of my Dark Devils Xed with another Dark Devil auto so I will have a load of S1s to play with. I have noticed for being not a large bud producer, it tends to susceptible to bot just like my Liberty Haze and THC Bomb.
FYI: the cutting in the glass has been there for over a month... After it dropped it's male flowers it started producing female flowers again.

Waiting for my S1's...

I wonder how many autos will come from selfed photo pollen crossed to autos?.

Ok, I'm finally getting around to running these F1's. This one is from a Liberty Haze x THC Bomb fem cross that was pollinated with a reversed feminized Dark Devil Auto. So far I see two phoenos I like. Ones lime green with big ball buds that smells like limes and the other is a purple budded yellow haired beauty that smells like a cross of smarties and pez ha ha.

I am hoping to stumble upon one eventually that has big ball buds like the green one but is purple. These are at 7 weeks.:peace:

Check this out.from clones vegged one week the straight to flower these plants ar e 47 days old and will be harvested in 10 days grown with two 600's under 12/12 I will probably pull 3.5 lbs in the whooping total of 57 days using less electricity.... So give me one example how a auto could in any way possible better, please do....hehe , much love bro, oh I am super lazy too.. But autos simple can't do this... and its only 57 days start to finish...View attachment 3334598 View attachment 3334599
12/12 froom seed??

You already know never to transplant an auto. Other basic tips... THOU SHALT NOT:
Over water.
Over feed. Don't even touch nutes until week 3 or 4
Top, crop, super crop or fim
Start in 'hot' soil
Change your lighting schedule


Basically, resist the urge to tinker too much, water when your soil is dry, not on a schedule (they will need water mire often as they get big and especially when they flower). Good luck in your future endeavors.
That is about it , I do transplant once though, from dixie cups to the final container and I cut the dixie cup away from the plant with no real negative results, you also do not alter the lighting schedule at all once you start them, I run my auto grows from start to finish on a 20/4 schedule . all in all yes it sucks but you still got something out of the deal however small it is and you learned a valuable lesson for cheap. I would just run photoperiod plants from here on out , Autos are just a gimmick if your trying to get real results from your grows, My best was 250 ish grams off of 2 blue auto mazars and 1-2 purple kush. Best of luck to you :) BB

Your to funny OD. I think autos will get better as time goes on . They'll never. Compare to photos but serve a purpose . Less nutes , less care for lazy people who dont want the hassle of the TLC photos need . Again I like both but you can't compare apples to oranges. Breeders wouldn't be breeding or creating it if their wasn't a market .


There is a market for miley Cyrus, reality t.v. and women being filmed taking a dump on a guys chest..don't mean I want any part of it.

I'll


I'll get some pictures later. I have a feeling it's because I moved them a couple times they started in small pots and got moved 3 times. I now know to start them in the pot they will finish in and I really messed up the light times. I threw them in my mates setup and he was 1 month into a regular grow without autos and my plants ended up with 18/6 then 16/8 and 12/12 so after doing some research realised they shouldn't be dropped below 18/6 :( but will upload a photo tonight. I'm disappointed I spent a bit on seeds to have only two work and then only produce 4 maybe 5 g dry but knowledge is power and I have learned a lot from this. They aren't as hardy as normal plants and react badly to change and not being well looked after :(
Bro light schedule means absolutely nothing to an auto you could flower one under 6 hours of light if you wanted...your yield would suck but it would flower just like it would if it got 20 hours. The perfect light schedule for autos in my opinion is 20/4 from start to finish. Sounds like they've been shocked pretty good and remember 5 hey have a pre determined life span so a shock that take 10 days to recover from will really hurt so if it happens a couple times your yields are sure to be small. They are testy little fuckers I have problems with them all the time but it sharpens your skills
