"It takes Big Devil's cannabis seeds 6 weeeks to flower.
Sweet Seeds themselves label this as the biggest autoflowering strain on the market!" - Attitude Seeds

They say it gets 3 feet maybe 3 and a half feet tall. Is it an Auto that will finish 6 weeks from seed

or a REALLY FAST flowering plant that you will need to Veg to get that height?

well they have a ways to go but get a jewelers loupe at least 30 x so you can check you tricomes harvest when they are 50 % amber 50 % cloudy----------------tricomes are the shiny cristals you see on buds and flush with plain water the whole last week to two weeks at least 3 flushes

Hello autogrowers. I have planted a WOS afghan kush ryder and it came out to be a trifoliate(Three cotyledons and three branches at the start).Does anyone have any experience with this mutation(tips,grow reports,smoke reports etc.)?

I'm pretty sure I see threads every 6 months or so where this has happened. So not that uncommon, and doesn't appear to have any effect, good or bad.

EDIT............

I'm an idiot and thought the G13 labs was an auto just like Barneys farm.... I don't have an auto.... Not hating on you auto guys, but I'm stoked it's not!

Just curious... has anyone here ever tried 12-1 light schedule on auto's? I have in the past ran some auto's on 12-12 and they did pretty good. I have a buddy who runs 12-1 on their veg cycle with GREAT success, but he has never grown an auto. I grow both auto's and non-auto's. To be honest I already set my timer to start doing it tomorrow, but wanted to know if anyone had done it.

His regular plants hands down out grow my regular plants when I veg 18-6 vs his 12-1. We have done 3 tests now using same set of seeds, size wise his are in 2.5 weeks where mine are at 4 weeks, his bloom is set 12-12 and using same nutes and feeding schedule and lights 600w HPS has out weighed mine by atleast 25% and his are going into bloom 1 week earlier than mine and finishing anywhere from 7-10 days earlier.

Hey guys just found this site and am loving it. I'm on my first grow (total newbie) and decided to start with autos. I've got x2 red dwarf and x1 freebie royal dwarf growing atm in an indoor tent. Today is actually week 5 and there are still bud sites that havent even bloomed yet. This normal?

Oh and they've been on 24/0 light cycle from the get go.

Welcome to growing! I have grown the Red Dwarf and it is an amazing bush with bud sites everywhere that will fill out late in flower, tons of resin on leaves/stems/buds. I ran her outside for 65 days from seed. She has a long way to go yet dude! Be patient, she will really start to fill out her bud sites and swell soon. :mrgreen: Pic below at day 52. If you can, post a pic. No one here minds looking at bud shots!

Thanks! Heres a pic of some of the buds I found today. I did some quick LST'ing to get more light to them. Snuck in an older pic of the babies. Havent had time to take proper pics this week.

This whole growing has been a great ride and a learning curve to boot. As you can see I topped my plants and did a slight trim a ways back (stupid stupid stupid). Do you normally top your autos or is it the general rule of thumb with autos to never top?

She looks nice and healthy. Topping an auto slows down growth and reduces yield since you can't compensate by further vegetative growth. Red Dwarf is shrubby and branchy anyway so just LST, no cutting if you grow her in the future and you'll get a nice wide, bushy plant. Oh, and she should get a little skunky here soon if she hasn't already. Happy growing!

Yeah, I read online about not topping autos the day after I did my second topping :cry:. The skunky started during veg at about week 3. That huge white thing in the background on picture two is actually part of my 6" carbon filter. I had to set it verticle because the tent can't support the huge thing lol. Killed that skunk with extreme prejudice :fire:.
