Huge Autoflower?

Theorganicman1216 · Jul 5, 2013

So what I'm wondering is that is my plant bigger than normal or is some of it stretch? It's a hijack autoflower in a 5 gal bucket outdoors. The plant already over a foot and a half and the biggest fan leaves are bigger than my hand. What do you guys think? Is this typical?

tekdc911 · Jul 5, 2013

it's probably just a sativa heavy pheno
from my experiences when the pheno's look/act like what the breeder claims the genetics are
it's usually the best pheno out of the normal i say normal because there's always that chance for some crazy mutation

this one started out a little stretched too
and ended with alot of stretch

Sorry for the shitty pictures! And yeah it supposed to sativa dominat, like 70s/20i/10r I think and it parent is a jack herer. And it'll probably be tall like most sativa a right? Altough I thought most autoflowers stayed small..and do you think the genetics are good?

tekdc911 · Jul 5, 2013

hard to tell
but i would say if it looks like a herrer and act's like one then more then likely it will be some really good smoke
the one in the pics ended up around 4' just under out of almost a one gal soil/soiless mix and nutes cfl lighting
its a amnesia from dinafem but its like 1 outta 5 maybe the rest are ruderalis looking or more indica there all good smoke but the sativa pheno is the best
same goes for the indica strains
from what ive noticed

Are those both autos!? Those are pretty big! And I've been trying to go all organic but I did have to give it some inorganic fertilizer once to correct a nitrogen problem, but I've given it soil amendments and I think with all his rain its helped to make those nutrients available because of the slightly acidic rain we get here too, but I was just suprised by the size of it. I have given it a lot of room to grow but comparing it to another picture I found of a hijack, it already seems like it will be bigger.

This is the picture: there are two hijacks pictured grown by another person

same plant dinafem original amnesia auto

Theorganicman1216 · Jul 6, 2013

Ahhh I can see the traits now, it looks like a good hybrid! Are those currents plants??

tekdc911 · Jul 6, 2013

no but it's one ive grown out close to 30 times im very familiar with it
its the best that ive found if you like a heavy sativa buzz

tekdc911 · Jul 6, 2013

funny part is i put it in a 1 lb folgers plastic coffee can "less then 1 gal"
to try and keep it small it just wasnt going to have it lol
it gained a foot in a week and by then it was to late to lst the main stalk
was working crazy hours and had no time was half asleep when i watered them
got a day off and was like oh shit it's about to hit the roof >.<

Theorganicman1216 · Jul 7, 2013

Holy shit it grew that much!? And I heard someone say once that autos basically race to harvest time because of the ruderalis gene which I think is amazing! But how much yield did you get from that plant?

tekdc911 · Jul 7, 2013

they say a inch a day
but ive seen closer to 2" a day that one probably passed it up
i turned on the rest of cfl's and watered on sunday missed 2 days watered again wed on sat night it was an easy foot taller
chopped ealy maybe 2-3 weeks its sativa so was extra speedy
got roughly a oz manicured and 4-5g's of bho from the under developed budsites and trim

think if i would of let it go i could of pulled 2+ easy

Theorganicman1216 · Jul 7, 2013

Damn man! I went to check this hijack that I have and it grew 5 inches in 2 full days, but how long from seed to harvest did it take your sativa? Because this one is also a sativa but it had a slow start and I gave it about 75 days as a time frame so I'm hoping it'll be done by then

tekdc911 · Jul 8, 2013

when the fans yellow you have roughly 2-3 weeks i just let them go no real times
but the amnesia runs 10-12 weeks usually

Theorganicman1216 · Jul 16, 2013

Yeah I figured I'd give it a flushing period for about two weeks. The first buds are just starting now so I'm feeding it just water and molasses. I figured the molasses feeds microorganisms that live in the soil and help break down the large amount of organic material I've put in it. I think it works better at feeding the plant consistently. There's enough food in the bucket to feed it until harvest I'm sure! All those nutrients are becoming more and more available

technical dan · Jul 16, 2013

yep molasses feeds the micros and also has some trace elements for the plant itself

Theorganicman1216 · Jul 18, 2013

Do you know if I should get a chemical fertilizer or will the microorganisms break down enough p and k in the soil that it will need? The soil has a lot of organic material and decomposed cow manure is also in there along with topsoil and some coffee grounds on the top.

Let it goo all natural. Itll take what it needs.

tekdc911 · Jul 18, 2013

just figure 1 gal of soil for 1 month of healthy growth
when your not using fertilizers
nutes change the game up

Theorganicman1216 · Jul 21, 2013

Well it's in a 5 gal and its going for 2 1/12 months about, so I should be set haha! And newbie9 I like the way you think!
