Day 35.
The first pic is the autos. The small ones in the forground are the sick ones, now healed and starting to grow. The far group are the vigerios ones, in the auto bed, and I do not think they will fill in to make a see of green. The other pic is the photo bed and it is balls to the wall. They are filling in between the stalks and will make a see of green.They are well into flowering yet still in the rapid growth stage also, like an auto on steroids. Pollenation started today, the male o.g.ghost train haze is droping pollen from a few flowers. I take my finger and tap the male flower from under neith and then rub it on the selected females.Today I bred him to my hellon keller, a photo, and a white widow and budda syrup cross,auto. Tomorow I will stay all day, collecting pollen and applaying it. Then I will remove the male befor it breeds the dozen different photos with it. It will get a few but that is a good thing.

Sorry, the first pic is the photos. The photos planted so late in the year act like autos. My plan for next year is to plant autos again on may first, harvest and replant near the first of may. This I did this year with good luck. I got 2 harvest before anyone was even looking. I will wait until these are in and then plant the photos. As I am showing you here they will act like autos that can take high doses of ferts. This is what seperates autos from photos I think, autos can not take the levels of nitrigen that photos can. Without this massive growth sprut in the begining they are doomed to small yeilds, compared to photos in the same situation. Photos started under falling number of daylight hours behave differently than the normal way. They know they have made a late start and try their hardest to make up the time, combining flowering with rapid growth, something autos do poorly. Some might say autos need 20 hours of light to florish so lets look at that. If I had did this trial run inside with photos in one and super autos in another, each needing 3 months to finish, how much power (light bill) is needed for each. The photos would need 1 month of 18 hours a day, then 2 months of 12 hours a day. On the other hand, the autos would require 20 hours for all 3 months. Lets do the math, saying each month is 30 days. 18 x 30 plus 12 x 60 is the needed light hours total for the photos, which equals 1260 hours. The autos need 20 x 90 , or 1800 hours!Also, which would make the biggest yeild. There is a lot of work to be done to make the autos a commerical venture. Their best use is in early harvest before anyone even thinks it's possable. In this they excell.

I doubt you'll get much argument when it comes to autos vs. photos for large or commercial grows, especially when running mothers and cloning. But autos do have their niche, especially for those who can only grow a couple plants at a time. I've about given up on growing autos outdoors. Between the smaller yields, compared to indoors, dealing with caterpillers and spider mites, and the weather, it's not worth the effort IMO.
Hoping the weather hold out for you. I'm real curious to see how these turn out.

Thanks muddy. We have had a few nights in the low 40s and one night in the high 30s this last week. No problem at all. I am going to get a therm. that records high and low temps. and leave it there. It will be interesting to see what the differents is from surrounding areas.

So here is the auto bed at day 41. First pic is the group that had problems in the grow room. They have recovered and are now growing, some starting with hairs. The second shows the non-stunted ones. As you can see they are flowering nicley. They have not formed much in the way of secondary limbs. The third shows their progress in making me a sea of green. Not going to happen!Similar threads
