How long does this ruderalis auto have left? (First grow)

[jimihendrix1]

Dont expect a buzz then. Maybe a headache.


Harvest
A month or so after it begins flowering, cannabis ruderalis will be ready for harvest. Specifically, cannabis ruderalis is typically ready for harvest 70 to 110 days after the seeds are planted.
Ruderalis Effects
Pure ruderalis cannabis isn’t a species that will typically be found in a dispensary, so the only people who get to experience consuming it are those who grow it themselves. Ruderalis is known for the following effects:
No significant high
The extremely low levels of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) in cannabis ruderalis means it doesn’t cause psychotropic effects. The fact that the species causes so little in terms of a high is part of the reason it’s rarely grown as a pure species and has largely been overlooked by recreational consumers.
Calming and relaxing
Its high CBD (cannabidiol) content makes it an excellent kind of cannabis for medicinal purposes. It’s especially good for medical marijuana patients who would like the benefits of CBD without the high of THC. Marijuana that is high in CBD is typically recommended for people with anxiety or insomnia due to its calming effects.

I'd assume whoever posted the description failed to add the genetics alongside Ruderalis because its often grown as a hybrid. This strain I'm growing has mostly positive reviews for its high, guess I'll find out in about a month.

guess I'll find out in about a month or two

I’m not 100% but I think ruderails can survive a bit colder weather. What region do u live in?

England, UK. I've read they should tolerate the cold due to being a Russian land-race.

Naw she's ready to harvest

About a pound

Ya i read the same thing. I’m not sure about winter in UK but as long as It doesn’t get too cold. I wish u the best of luck tho man. Have u considered a heater for the night time?

Thanks man. I don't have a heater but it is in a greenhouse and I also have frost protection cloth. Not sure if that will help extend its life but I guess I'll find out.

I know exactly what Ruderalis is, and have know so since Nevil first fucked with it in the 80s. Been growing weed in general since 1972.

If its truly Pure Ruderalis. It has ZERO THC, and anyone who says they get a buzz from it, must be getting dizzy from carbon monoxide.

I know its used as a hybrid, and is used for its auto flowering traits. I dont like that shit either, but it is much better than Pure Ruderalis as far as if youre trying to get high/ but I asked you what else was in it, and you said nothing, so if its 100% Ruderalis, its got No Buzz.

Actually he said the site didn't mention any other genetics... that's a far cry from saying it's pure ruderalis...

A quick Google search suggests it's a "Sativa dominant ruderalis hybrid" but doesn't list any specific genetics... honestly, not sure where OP is seeing good reviews though

Lolraf... in the future, try and buy strains with more info available on them... also, how long since you actually planted out of curiosity ?

If it says Sativa Dom, then it is a hybrid, and not just Ruderalis. It may well have some buzz. Not really a fan of autos either though.

The Vashon Seed company Eki Bird can be vegged for 30 days, and flowers in 42-45 days. 75 days total. Or veg it a bit longer to get a bigger plant. Contains Zero Ruderalis, and is also a surprisingly great producer depending on the pheno. This plant will surprise you if you give it a lot of light, and soil. You wont find a faster Non Auto Flowering Strain. Is done in 45 days, or less. Many closer to 40-42 days. Listed as 6 weeks.
Is also extremely mold resistant.
Eki Bird is a fast flowering pheno of old Super Sativa Seed Club from the 80s M26 Early Bird, and has been bred/hybridized now in Vashon Island Washington St for almost 40 years. It was already bred for mold resistance by the Dutch in the 80s, and has adapted well to the climate of PNW where mold can be a huge problem.

Early Bird-M26
Lineage: Vashon Kush x An Early VSM Male
Flower Time: 6-7 Weeks
Yield: Medium

This Indica Hybrid Combines The intense Terpene Production Vashon Kush is known for with a super early flower time. Excellent for outdoor production in the PNW or most areas with limited growing season.



M26 Early Bird from Super Sativa Seed Club.
An early Dutch cold-resistant strain. Inbreed for three generations. Breeding plants were selected for early maturation and quality of the high. Some individuals will have purple seedbracts. Most of the plants are very resinous. The yield varies from plant to plant. Harvest first/second week of September. Early Bird from Super Sativa Seed Club.

I saw the mostly good reviews on a website called London Seed Center.

As far as newbies go I'm right at the bottom, I had no idea about genetics and thought weed is weed, but since then I've learned a lot more for future choices.

I planted it 90 days ago, but it's definitely more like 62 days old because I really messed up the first 4 weeks and there was pretty much zero growth.

I didn't say nothing, I said the website didn't mention anything else. As a total newbie I saw a highly reviewed seed and thought hey I'll get that, not much science behind the choice. I do think it's the breeder not being clear on that seed, but in future I can make better educated choices. Here in the UK, autos are much better for outdoor beginner growing, or outdoors in general from what I've read. I can try a photoperiod next time, now that I have a bit more knowledge in the area.

 

[bananahaze64]

what he actually said is he has purchased these seeds https://londonseedcentre.co.uk/cannabis-seeds/dr-ray-seeds/formula-1-auto becuase they had the most reviews

 

[Gentlemencorpse]

Oh man, reading through those reviews one grower said theirs took 16 weeks to finish... woof

Claims it was "worth the wait" but man, that's a long time to wait for an auto... maybe you got the same pheno as him Lolraf

Yeah I think I do but as a first time grower I really don't mind, it's an experience and I'm learning I only smoke for medicinal purposes, in low microdoses, so a plant can last me a very long time, even more than a year. It's proven to be an amazingly effective treatment for me, so I'm going to let that little bugger take its time to grow

I understand but im from the uk too and judging by the next 2 weeks weather and how cold its going to get with the constant rain and 99 million percent humidity , I think you need to think about what to do, because in these light conditions And temperatures dropping rapidly after the next 2 weeks the plant will slow down growth and I think you 3 -4 weeks left if it was full sun most days

I blame myself really for mucking up the first 4 weeks of its life. I'm just hoping it won't be too bad but if it looks that way I'll try to figure something out. Thanks for the heads up man

UPDATE: It's been 4 weeks since some of you recommended it needed around 6 weeks left. Sadly I couldn't leave it that long. Cut it down yesterday because holy shit bud rot sites started EVERYWHERE! The weather isn't going to get better either, more rain expected and high humidity, plus I don't have a fan. I didn't cut all of it completely, there are still low lying budsites that haven't been affected by bud rot, but it's a shame to see the main cola get cut. Now I'm drying what I have and I'll tell you how much it weighs after it's dried. It is super sticky. First time grow, learned a lot for next time, will do better I promise.

P.S. How long did this plant need before I chopped it?

 

[bananahaze64]

Its hard to tell it looks nice enough to me just think theres always another time
