Thanks everyone! Yeah, this is the first time I've tried an auto strain. Some may argue that it's a waste of time/space to run an auto in a waterfarm, but seeing these results it's looking as though this medium allows you to really push these ruderalis plants to their max potential... It's looking like we shouldn't have any problems getting the prescribed 40+ grams dry from her. Looking at the size of the trunk on this girl, I think I'm going to try putting 2 in one bucket next round and train them to really fill the res - we'll see. It would be really nice to have some variety each harvest time and run 2 different auto strains in one waterfarm while running a single feminized plant in the other - still only running 2 waterfarms at once. I've been seriously thinking about purchasing 1 more waterfarm kit and starting 3 farms at one when I start a new grow, putting 1 fem'd seed in one and a reg type strain in the other 2 - thus increasing my chances of at least 2 females...but after seeing this result with an auto in the waterfarm, my next grow may just be 2 waterfarms, one fem'd seed and one with 2 autos in it... I love experimenting!
