At least you see what I'm talking about. And come to think of it, this was one of the odd ball seeds they send along with the ones I actually ordered. I guess since none I ordered were auto-flowering it didn't cross my mind I'd get anything else,..even with the odd balls. But Alas,..If this is what that is, ...then I've been surprised twice. I guess I can understand an odd ball being whatever the luck of the draw you may get but last year my largest and most anticipated plant turned out to be a damn male and had to spend a few moments in my fireplace. It WAS one I ordered as feminized. As said earlier,...little things to learn as you go through the trials and tribulations. Seed banks are obviously not up to the technology needed for 100% accruacy and odd ball seeds can be F'n anything. So make consessions and plant a few more plants as back ups. That one male plant was around a third of my whole production it was so big (at least I thought it would have been). Others have told me that when they look like they're growing hugh and fast, those could be a high chance of being a male. Well, I've got another this time too. So with this "freek" plant out of control, I may have a nother large hit from a rogue mail. I did plant one extra plant for a back-make this year so I am learning.
Soooo, I'm asking anyone that has had experience with these Auto-flowering strains and tell me what's to be expected. They've been under 20 hours of 1000 w HPS and since I'm only experienced with Photo-period strains, I'm at a loss. If this is how they work, I'd never get an Auto-flowering strain if they do their thing only at 5 weeks. Not much of a plant to get any kind of high yeilds from with that short period. Anyone suggest another forum sight I should ask this quesition or if anyone else has an answer ,..bring it. Peace out for now. -Silky.
