New Grower First Grow | Two + Speed Sweet Seeds | Advice Appreciated!

No reason for 12/12 on an Auto, mate. 20/4 or 18/6 all the way unless it doesn't Auto or something. Your plant looks very healthy. :thumbs:

Yeah that's what I've read. I can tell they're about to start budding really soon. There is pistols everywhere. Bloom nutes?

These seeds are advertised as 49 days till harvest, I understand that isn't really accurate but they have to bloom somewhat faster than most autos

I've never even heard of 49, and I highly doubt that. More like 70 days or more. No worries though. And no, keep feeding veg nutes until your vertical growth stops, then switch to bloom nutes. This gives you max amount of vegetative growth, thus max potential yield.

yeah I have a 49day SweetSkunk which is on day 67 and easily has 3weeks left to go but it didn't start budding until day 50ish then packed it on.

 

[Mr Piggy]

49 days may have been in reference to it's flowering period and not it's entire lifespan.

I have found a grow diary of a guy growing this strain and he harvested a 2 oz +Speed plant @ Day 57 from sprouted and a 3oz +Speed plant at just under 60 days as well.

I think it's possible. I know people are working on faster and faster Autos. My partner and I are definitely including that in our work...Those are great yields for such a fast Auto too. I'd like to see those journals, but I believe you bro. Just haven't seen many of those and we don't miss much as far as the Auto-Cannabis world. Glad you have some to show us, though.

Here's the link if you're interested. I've been using it as a reference myself just to compare progress. https://www.uk420.com/boards/index.php?showtopic=285807&st=180

DAY 36 UPDATE

These girls are starting to flower nicely. I know they probably could've grow a bit more, but they started to flower quickly and I decided to start giving them bloom nutes. I've been having issues with high temperatures because my A/C unit gave out on me this week, should be fixed sometime soon though so it shouldn't be a huge issue.

They can say it is ready to harvest whenever they want. They get to define when it is ready. My experience with the fast market is that they are far from ready. I don't buy all that 'optimal conditions' line, which only they seem to have. They are selling to the public who certainly doesn't have optimal conditions. It's a race to make ever more outrageous claims than the next guy. An industry wide fraud. There are some breeders I won't touch because I have bought bad stuff from them in the past.

So some dude set up to produce a mega plant. Sure he gets his ounces, but ounces of what? Mostly leaf with clear part formed trichomes. You get an effect of it but not a hit.
