Looking for some comments on this amazing marathon auto grow lol. First grow ever, White Widow Auto. Planted March 24, germinated March 29. 600w led, on 18/6 90% of the time. Water every other day, nutes after week 5 every other watering. Flowering started week 7. Zero issues, other than burnt leaf tips, either mild nute/nit burn or light too close for a spell, other than that very healthy dark green fan leaves & buds. All forums claim harvest times of 75-110 days with WW auto. Got to day 95 with very little change over a week & frosty buds that were pretty not-dense lol. But overall she showed no signs of starting to dwindle. I was pretty troubled to chop her then, as she was showing no signs of yellowing leaves or white/amber trichomes. So I switched to 12/12 just to see what would happen, and she started densing up in the buds after a few days. Very peculiar for an auto to react to a light schedule like this. It’s day 120/week 17 and she’s still slowly growing new buds and white pistols! The early pistols are an orange-ish color but none are brown/dark red. Leaves still healthy green. Trichomes sloowly hinting some white.
She’s not taking as much water now, soil is still moist for couple days after watering. Stopped nutes at day 90 but started nutes again when I saw it react to 12/12. As it looks, she could keep densing up for another 6 weeks! Lmao. Was taking a pic every single day until day 104, but now every few days. Pics attached.
I chopped off a small bud a couple weeks ago to dry/cure & see how she smoked, and it was a wonderful smoke! Tells me I could harvest anytime I want, as the buds are pretty potent already, just not dense. But might cheat myself out of twice as much harvest if I do. So I’m just gonna keep her going on 12/12 and distilled 6.0ph water until her leaves start to yellow. Who knows, could be 10 months! Maybe I’ll get 10 oz. out of her lmao! I just know she’s breaking all the norms for autos. And yes she’s an auto. she started flowering on 18/6 lights.
