Opinions on how much longer.

[Neubieauto]

So this is green crack auto by fastbuds. And most of you have probably seen these plants in a post or two. I got 2 very different phenos out of it. One is very very heavy on the skunk#1 part of her genes so she looks and grew like a pure sativa plant. The breeder says it's an 8 week auto strain. I know to usually add a week or 2 to the breeders times so I expected a 9 to 10 week strain. Today is exactly 8 weeks from being transferred to their pots from the paper towel. I think plant 1 looks like she has another month or so. And plant 2 looks like another 6 weeks to me. Which is a 12 week auto and a 14 week auto... as stacked as the buds are and as giant as these plants grew I dont think I will do them again because the timeline is totally off for my perpetual grow. I have 2 gorilla glue#4 auto from fastbuds going that are 2 weeks behind the green crack plants and it's starting to look like I will be able to harvest them sooner than the green crack... do my timelines seem about right for these girls or will they really build and swell buds in 2 weeks? My only other auto experience is with crapking seeds and they all auto'd for me but they were 8 week strains so everything seemed to happen so much faster. Plant 1 Plant 2

Has a long way to go. At this point scope trichs and forget times. In fact you have time to order a cheap 20X-40X jewelers loupe on Amazon. Less than $5.

The sativa girl doesnt even have trichs yet lol. They are some beastly plants but I dont see the point a 4 month auto lol. And I do have a loupe. A real shitty one from harbor freight but it gets the job done. I'm slightly disappointed in these plants. They are great for what they are dont get me wrong. They will produce more bud than I have ever pulled from a plant. But if the breeders would have said this was a 10 week strain I wouldnt have bought it let alone a 12 to 16 week strain lol. It just doesnt fit my program. Thanks for the opinion.

Bud, this is my third time growing some autos. Living in Alaska I had hopes they could do it all outside. The last two years I have had to bring them inside in September when it it starts freezing. If they can’t finish outdoors this year they’re the last autos I’ll screw with. 12/12 from seed beats autos.

Idk why I never saw this. I have never done a 12-12 from seed. Can you get as much bud as an auto from 12 12?

I got more. For sure they flower too. Don’t top or train. Pop a bunch in 3 gallon bags and go for it. Better weed too. More potent. People keep trying to tell me their auto is as kickass as my photo kush. I don’t think so.

 

[hotrodharley]

Or run 18/6 for just 2 weeks and flip. Get a quicker start to flower.

 

[Neubieauto]

We are moving along on plant 1 that's the gorilla glue I have going closest to the camera and the green crack in the back. Thinking 2 more weeks on this one. And the sativa green crack pheno. She is not coming along very fast at all. Taking her sweet ass time. We are at 9.5 weeks now.

I think I may try this. I have alot of photo seeds and want to grow them but I really like the 8 to 12 week timeline. Closer to 8 is great for me.

You have at least 4 weeks on the first one and who knows on the sativa

So sad lol. These were supposed to be done at week 9. Now I'm outta smoke and looking like I'm gonna have to buy some.

I've been using FastBuds since last April, alternating between Girl Scout Cookie, Green Crack, Gorilla Glue, Blue Dream and Six Shooter.

Green Crack is listed at 8 weeks, but it takes more like 10. I've harvested one as late as day 77

Girl Scout Cookie is listed at 8-9 weeks and will finish consistently at 63 days (9 weeks). I've never had a GSC go longer than that and i've harvested 6 of them since last April.

Gorilla Glue I have had some different results with. It's listed as 8-9 weeks, and i've harvested one at 63 days and had one go as long as 80.

I can yield 2 oz from a GSC in 9 weeks, so for my personal use, that does me just fine.

How much light are you using? If you don't mind me asking. I haven't been on here for awhile, so i haven't been following along with any of your posts.

Also, what soil + nutes combo?

I have a 1500w yueme cob that pulls around 800 from the wall and a reused mix of ffof and mg performance organics soil mixed with a couple bags of perlite. I pre cook the soil with fox farms happy frog jump start dry amendments. Then do a feeding about a month in with the jumpstart and added bone meal and Epsom salt and just water when the pots are light. I have fed these green crack plants a 2nd time this week as I was seeing n-def on lower leaves and it looks like they have another month to deplete the nutes before harvest. The 1 green crack will be a 3 month plant and the other may end up being a 4 month. It is a solid skunk no1 pheno and is all sativa as you can see in the pics. She is 4 ft tall and a beast of a plant.

And light is about 15 inches from most of the canopy.

That second picture, that plant hasn't even got started yet. It's got many weeks to go.

I know.. we are into week 12 for that girl lol. She might as well have been a photo plant.. she has looked like that for 3 weeks. Growing so slooowww.

 

[VTHIZZ]

They advertise 8-9weeks.. that's from first signs of pre flowers. total grow time with most fast buds strains is 11-12 weeks...
