Then 2 pics. of her at 30 days since popping her head above the soil. Then one pic. at 20 days since popping her head above the soil & then 1 pic. of her at 10 days since popping her head above the soil:

Looking great! I've got Cream Caramels going myself (Day 16 from sprouting)...Mine DEFINITELY don't look near as far a long as yours do in even your Day 10 pic..Don't know if that's good or bad?!?! Well none the less, mine are still growing everyday and seem healthy soo I am just going with the flow..Hopefully mine will be lookin like yours before too long.

Thanks for the compliments! :tiphat:

I'm using a large pot, excellent soil and excellent nutes. I just grow one plant at a time due to my limited space, therefore I grow smaller plants that are for my personal use (and my wife's use).

Try applying some nutes. I start giving my plants base nutes once they look strong enough to take light doses of these nutes, usually towards the end of their first week after sprouting from soil. I also keep my led on 24/0 for the first few weeks and use nutrient rich soil. I keep my 90w ufo led about 30cm/12 inches above the plant until it starts flowering, then I lower the led to 15cm/6 inches above the plant until she's done. I've attached some pics. of my grow setup. Hardly rocket science, just a cardboard box lined with mylar sheeting, the ufo led and a fan. I keep my plant well fed and look after it. I reckon that there are as many way to grow plants as there are strains, this is simply the system that works best for me.

Best of luck and I hope that my pics. and advice are helpful to all who want to grow this strain! :tiphat: :thumbs:

Nice little cab you got there. How is your air circulation? Can you move the fan closer if you need to?

Just asking.

Good Job so far friend.

It's an excellent question. I can't move the fan any closer to the plant. But the fan when turned on high & angled correctly will blow air onto the plant & therefore make the colas even thicker. :dance2:

Day 45 since poking her head above the soil ~ The buds are growing fatter & putting on weight. Pistols are all white and a sweet smell is developing. She's growing exactly as Muddy's "Life Cycle of Auto Flowering Cannabis" sticky says she should grow. Here's the link to Muddy's excellent article: https://www.autoflower.org/f44/life-cycle-auto-flowering-cannabis-5113.html

Her measurements are: 53cm/19" height x 45cm/18" width.

I'm really impressed with how quickly she's developing! A very easy strain to grow and she loves nutes! :drool:

Day 51 since seedling ~ The buds are putting on weight and have a very sweet and very strong fragrance. Some of the pistols are turning brown.

Here are her day 51 pics:

Thanks for the kudos. :tiphat: I was fortunate to get a good bean!

Great question about the light cycle. Most of this grow has actually used a light cycle of 24/0 or 23/1, not 20/4. I decided to throw everything at this plant after a read in another grow journal that this strain can take everything and still do quite well. So I've upped the nutes, most recently the bloom nutes, while using a 24/0 light cycle. She's responded really well! :dance2:

Keep in mind that I have a low wattage led ufo (90w) which allows me to do a 24/0 grow. I higher wattage led or non led light might fry the plant, but I simply don't know as I've always used my 90w led ufo. Kinda like I'm microwaving the plant...

Thanks for following my grow & I'm glad that others are finding the journal to be useful!
