New Grower Need a quick bit of advice regarding seed to harvest times

[mikey1]

I'm at 135 days (19 weeks!!) with my Dinafem White Widow auto, looks like maybe another week or two! Of course, this is under 24 hour lighting so it has really lengthened the growing time.

thanks roy. I've been a member of forums in the past, I should of known the etiquette. I'll head over and make a formal hello right away but I must say, what a very helpful friendly forum, with masses of good tips, karma / kudos to AFN!

also mikey, that's crazy, I hope / I bet they look good for it. but doesn't these kind of time lengths defeat the object of autos?

My grow box was in an unheated outbuilding where temps were often well below freezing during the early parts of the grow so I wanted to run the HPS light 24 hours as a heat source. A side benefit was the giant size of the plants...looks like the total dry yield for 4 autos in a 4x4 ft room and 400w HPS will be over a pound! Check out my Dinafem White Widow thread to see one of the four plants (other 3 were Barney's Critical Rapido). I think next time I'l run a short dark cycle even if it means getting a small heater.

lol was just coming back to my thread to check the post date.

yeah, I think I will be chopping her today. slightly lame yield I think but should smoke nice and the buds definitely did swell / firm up for leaving it a while longer Cool:

OK so I've just finished, actually looks better than I thought it would. Weighs in at 23g but obviously is wet and still has some big stalks attached. The reason its bent over like so is because I did that so I could bring the led right down for the last couple of days to try and get a last push and mature the lower buds a bit.

The trimmings have quite a few trichs so will probably give it a quick dry and blitz some butane through it, see if I can get some oil



The one I'm holding came off the top, reasonable lil nugget there
