Lmao. Crap King Seeds.
Two different strains, both mutated and hermied out bad on me. Never again.

Yeah, no problem. from reading around. there's not too many people, especially on the rollitup forums, who like CKS. what it seem's like has happened is that they havent been into autos for very long. I'm not sure exactly how long, but autos are still not mainstream and many experienced growers prefer photos. so the science, and production of quality autos is limited, overall. CKS in the past year has made leaps and bounds on their auto genetics. I started growing their auto gear early 2015. I found some very nice phenos, but I was having issues with hermies, and the plants being very finicky with the environment, and my organic soil mix. I've never had a full blown male out of the fem's I ordered. since about February of this year until now though, the seeds I have been getting are great. I have a micro grow going now, so I'm limited in what I can do, but ive figured out some of the genetics, and better ways to work with them. I'm still tweaking my soil mix because I don't feed any bottle nutrients. what I was using worked perfectly for my photos, but these autos are a bit different. I want some Memphisto next, just to change it up though. good luck man.

Crop King = Monsanto = GM = Loss of independent breeders & strains. Not overnight but give them time. Crop King name is owned by Monsanto worldwide If Crop King seeds is not owned by Monsanto they will be out of business soon enough. GM in the lab is not cross pollination in the grow room.

I tried both feminized purple kush and Zeus regular. Both strains hermied out really bad on me. Every single bean. Almost all of them were mutated to some degree. Out of all the seeds I used, I found one that was usable for production. It still was a hermi, but didn't produce seeds.

Just giving my experience. I'm not swearing by CKS, or endorsing them. I've done business with the people, and never had issues with customer service or seeds I've ordered, all autoflower. So I can't comment on the photos. The OP asked, so i answered. The semantics of law, Monsanto, isn't on my mind. I literally live down the street from an actual Monsanto soy bean factory, in the middle of crop country. So trust, corporate control is all to familiar with me. I'm not loyal to any company, so don't take this as me defending them. if you had a bad experience, that's important for someone to know, and I'm sure the OP appreciates it. However, it just so happens I've enjoyed doing business with them.

I have been growing some non auto Green Crack from them, very happy with it
But I also tried Dwarf Low Flyer and was unimpressed. I sent cash, two dayseparate later I sent cash to Attitude Seed, I got the seeds from Attitude before CKS even said they got the payment. then I waited about three weeks and didn't get the seeds, so I contacted customer service and they immediately sent out more seeds (with tracking this time). I grew two plants side by side one started flowering at 8 inches tall, it finished at 10 inches with a 4 gram yield, the one next to it is 23 inches tall and still flowering, it has been 4 weeks longer then the other plant and still have a couple of weeks left. I grew two more and had pretty much similar results their pheno seems to be all over the place. I am happy with their customer service and their regular strains, not so happy with the auto flowers.

The tall one

Hi there, this is my Revolver auto from CKS after 50 days. She showed sex in day 30 when she was only 4 inches. I think I did something wrong but she is stretching quite well and triple her height to nearly 14 inches in day 50.
Some growers said Revolver may takes 12 weeks to fully complete so I'm not very disappointed.
.
Can someone help me to estimate the yield after 12 weeks?
Growing she in a very small room with CFL. 100w 2700k and 50w 6500 now.

Honestly man, it's looking like those plants are stretching like crazy. I'd be hard pressed to say a half oz or so. You need more light.Hi there, this is my Revolver auto from CKS after 50 days.

Thank for your advice, this is the 1st Indoor grow I have ever made. And there are so many things that I don't understand.
I only have 6 bulbs CFL with 150w in total, I thought that is enough for 1 plant. How many watt should I added? Is 300w ok?

With cfl, it's better too scrog them and have at LEAST 300 watts total of light that is an inch or so away from the plants. Check out green ninja on YouTube. He pretty much exclusively works with cfl. Personally, I only use them for early seed starting. After the second set of leaves, I go hid.

Just for reference, check out my journal. Just uploaded a couple pics of my auto flowers that are three weeks after sprouting.

Sure I will check it out, thank a lot for your information. I will change some buds to higher watt, want to see how this strain will end up with CFL.
In next grow I will try Ak48 from nirvana, HID is a good choice, but I'm thinking about Led too.
