Hey all. I'm often lurking around here, but today I thought about a post. Here are a couple images of some 60 Day Wonders by DNA Genetics. I have been super impressed with the growth of every one of them so far. Fast, bulky, healthy. (at least without the spider mites attacking) These girls are growing under a 400w MH/HPS combo, sometimes 24 on, sometimes less if its too warm outside. Self contained homemade panda-film tent, inline fan with 4'' Carbon scrubber. (and no, in my experience I have not noticed any ill side effects of changing the light pattern on these autos when needed, just my experience)
This one is just at 30 days, its in a 10 gal self watering tote (here: https://www.autoflower.org/f28/diy-self-watering-container-1675-9.html )
Grown in Fox Farms Ocean Forest mix amended with some perlite, and an organic starter fertilizer with a myca mix. Watered with natural spring water (not ph'd. I know, I know..)
I am concerned with the stretching, as I didn't have her quite close enough to the light source. I wiggle them, and work out each branch individually to stiffen them, hopefully its enough this time. Here she is:

Any thoughts, comments welcomed.
The 2nd image is another 60 Day, just after 60 Days. I have had some serious Spider Mite issues with this one, which is unfortunate because I think she would have been a TANK otherwise. (still battling the mites…neem oil..peppermint spray..lady bugs..and planted bush beans-they LOVE them, and I have had them completely migrate to them in the past, then just dumped the beans..currently have some more Neem Oil in the mail, going to try mixing diluted into the water, see if that helps)
She has been grown in a self watering 5-gal Bucket, with homemade soil: 1part store bought compost, 1part store bought Peat Moss, 1part Perlite, amended with Green Sand, and an Organic starter fert with a myca mix. Watered with Spring water.
Anyways, here she is:

Next is a 60 Day Lemon, just at 30 Days. Same age as the first 60 Day up top, planted same day, but not in a self watering tote, just a couple gallon pot with the Fox Farms soil mix mentioned before.
Here:

I realize its not a fair pic for comparing purposes, but I don't have the energy at the moment to move everything around to remove her for a pic, haha..(dang AutoMazar..)
And heres a main kola from another 60 Day Wonder that is the same age as the white 5-gal bucket girl, but she is also burried.
Here:

Enjoy!! And if you were wondering about these genetics as I was, I hope this helps
p.s. as for the self watering totes, theres definitely a learning curve to them, (flushing is important for salt build up, and is kinda tricky) and I'm still constantly learning new tricks. So far, I have successfully grown these 60 Day Wonders in them, Sour 60's, Afghan Kush Ryder, Barney's Little Cheese Auto, AutoMazar, Taiga, Easy Ryder-Oh check this one out https://www.autoflower.org/f10/easy-ryder-somewhere-just-after-70-days-right-before-chop-27433.html, Vision White Widow-a great producer and smoke for the price of the seeds, and I guess thats about it for the self watering for me.. Ok, I'm done
