So...you can't transplant Autos?

it very much depends on the plant, some can take it and get over it in a day, some get stunted for a week and don't do shit till they get over it, no way to know but to try, or not

i'm in both comparative grows right now, and i tried transplanting both, i can tell you neither one of them liked it worth a shit, but i've had others that didn't even seem to slow down for it

The only time I've had a plant stunt on me is when I topped my auto skunk... But it just made huge buds and bushed out

I find that the amber trichs rule doesn't apply to autos...I know some will disagree vehemently but I think once the leaves are yellow at or around day 70 to 75 she is done. My experience is amber trichs in autos = a very sluggish feeling. I chopped my 3 BOG and AvT with almost no amber trichs and both are outstanding after one month in the jar.
Autos with cloudy trichs and yellow leaves = ready...YMMV and all that..

the whole amber trich thing is kind of misused. a lot of strains now have had that trait bred out of them anyway, so if you wait for them, you can wait forever.
i like to see as many milky as i can, and as few clear. i'd rather cut with 95% milky 5% clear, than rely on how many amber i see at all.

I wanted to take at 70 ish, but pistils just kept coming white. Its definatley going to be a learning thing this time since its my first real run of autos and just splashing a freebie in. As far as growing? I think i nailes them. Today is day 82 and going to check on them when i get out of bed XD

100% cloudy if i could manage in a perfect world.

never happen, you'll always have close to 5% clears, unless you let it run really long and start to get a lot of amber. until it's "over ripe" the plant keeps producing trichs, so there'll always be new clears

Yeah thats why i said perfect world. Some will always be clear/amber. Im ok with a bit but mostly cloudy is perfect stuff.

Sure is. I start Sunday night on 3rd shift just like my last job. Past week or so i had actually been going to bed 9-10 pm. Now need to get back on previous sleep pattern. Go to bed 9-11 am and wake up 5-6 pm. Be easy, worked almost 2 years last job on nights and most of my 10 weeks since i quit ive kept the same night owl schedule anyways.

So...like with all autos I grow now...I transplanted this seedling 3 days ago but it didn't go all that smoothly. I was in a rush and should have waited. I used the same technique as last time but the root ball came apart and the roots were pretty badly torn. I transplanted anyway but fully expected it to stunt or die completely. I'm happy to say that there doesn't seem to be any adverse affects at all. She didn't do anything for about 24 hours after transplant but since then she has added new growth and seems healthy. This one is a HSC Low Coast Skunk auto. I'll update the pics as she matures.

I who'd try 4 seeds in paper cup and transplant one each week. (from my experience you will see difference)
