I got 60 grams dry with 15grams of trimmings. I'd say autoflowering plants a definite WIN

Still curing..but they'r dry enough to be smoked
 
Just got back from vacation. I flushed her last Thursday because I noticed a little nute burn and I also didn't have anyone lined up to care for it while I was gone.

Got home to find healthy looking, bigger buds with red hairs really starting to fill in. I took a close up pic and the trichs look like their starting to go amber as well.

FLOWERING DAY 39 (middle of week 6):

2 oz dry would be so boss. I would literally jump with joy if I managed 1 oz dry. Considering the hairs aren't done filling in, I'm expecting the nugs to plump up a bit more over the next week.

I'll get something practical in my next pics to help out with photo perspective
 
I flushed two days ago. The burning has stopped, but got a little worse than I wanted at the top. However, she should be fine and looks like she's going to yield big. Has about 50% red hairs. Still no amber trichomes. Will probably flush once more at the end of the week. Hopefully harvest mid to late next week.

personally i think those have about 2 weeks but i could be wrong. my general rule of thumb is when i think theyre done, give em one more week.
 
I'm a little worried about the top (main cola) being so burned and dying off. My first impression is that the leaves were burned beyond repair before I flushed (last Sunday), so they're just continuing down their path of death. The nugget looks fine, it's just the leaves that I'll end up trimming anyway that are dying off (yellow, spotted with brown). Can anyone offer any constructive comments on this?

It seems like all the perlite floated to the top of the medium the last time I flushed. Is this going to be an issue and, if so, are there any solutions?

Same thing happened with me.. I believe it's ok. You're for sure gettin 2oz.. maybe more. awsome autoflower!
How tall did it end up being?

Your lucky your strain developed like that. Your strain has good structure.. and you did a really good job growin it
mine shot up tall (about a foot) before any flowering happend to mine. I had about 12in a cola with a few side branches. still got 2oz + trimmings tho
If I had lst'd it.. I probably would'v got 3oz+
 
Harvested the bud


Trichs were all going amber. It finished faster than I expected. Roommate helped me out with the pics and trimming.

Weighed out to be over 8 oz wet. That main cola weighed slightly over 3 oz. It's all hanging up to dry now. Dark with a fan for air circulation. Should be in good shape to smoke between October 8th and October 15th. Also, I saved all the trimmings. Just need to figure out what to do with them.

Dude.. your auto-flower girlie is legit! - I"m sayn 3oz dry. nice job trimming
Hang in dark closet with fan on low for ventilation, but not pointed at the buds.

What was your light to dark time ratio for growing her?
Nutes??

At first I was giving it 24 hrs light. When she emerged from the premature vegging stage into the normal vegging cycle, I gave her a 20/4 light cycle until flowering. When she started flowering, I lowered the light cycle day by day until I got to 17/5, where it stayed the rest of flowering. I think the biggest contribution was the climate I had her in. I had my A/C running at all times, which kept the temperature at 78 degrees and 40-60% humidity--extremely ideal.

Did you just use the fox farm line of nutrients?

Yah that's the ideal enviornment. did you get get any bud rot?
My main plants are outside right now.. 3-4 weeks from harvest. I lost about 8grams within the past couple days to bud rot. It's superr fukn hot all day and at night. 90degrees
Good cus theyr fukn blowing UP ..butt.. bad cus the humidity.

Yes, I used all FF nutes, only. I had them in MG Organic Choice soil so I didn't use Grow Big (or any other nute) during veg. When it started flowering, I gave it about 75% dose of Tiger Bloom and Big Bloom every other water. Then about 4 weeks into flowering, I gave it 50% dose of Grow Big along with the Tiger Bloom and Big Bloom for TWO nutrient waterings only. I did this to give it a nitrogen boost. For the weeks after that, I continued with the Tiger Bloom and Big Bloom only. Then flushed twice at the end of flowering. Everything turned out great. Tomorrow I start curing in jars. I have some nice air tight jars with clamps.

I quick dried a J's worth of nug in the oven at 130 degrees for 10 minutes. Smoked it. I got so damn stoned, I seriously cannot wait to see how it smokes when it's all cured up.

I'm assuming their pretty dry now and just being cured. Take some pics of some of the dried product.
And report on the total dry weight, I wana how much you got from that.

I trimmed it so it's just a bunch of ~1g-2g nugs. Final dry weight is just over 2oz. I'll get some pics in here tomorrow.
