I've done the afghanni on a twelve twelve from seed got a small yeald as expected but a nice smoke though...with autos when they go into flower don't reduce the light there not photo period plants so you can nuke them with 18 hours or even hike it up to 20 or 24 hours of light this will increase bud production. don't go over to 12/12 keep them on a min 18/6 all the way through..

Yeah I've realised that but I'd like to flower the photos at the same time as I'm moving out in June so need to be done before then! I might leave them to veg while the autos run their course then flower them
 
Look whose popped up to show their heads! 100% germ rate this time round which is nice! Got them in a cardboard box under a 105W cfl till they get big enough to move under the 400

Suppose I best call this autos day 0 then!

Sooo I've got a huge dilemma for anyone thats listening....

I was planning on chopping sometime this week (would be 8.5 weeks into flower) but Ive got to go away for 9 days starting on saturday 19th. Do I chop and hang my buds on say the 18th and give them a full 9 days to dry or do I let them carry on growing and cut them when I get back so I can properly regulate the drying- dont want to lose bud at the last hurdle! But 10 weeks in flower might be too long :| any advice on which is the lesser of the two evils would be much appreciated!!

Orrrr alternatively, I could cut now, dry for 5 days then place in curing jars with boveda humidity packs and hope they eliminate the need to burp the jars

Check the trics , bud density too see if they have another 9 days...personally I would probably chop and make sure there hung in a low humidity warm drying area 8 and a half weeks was when I chopped my Inc bulk I had about seventy percent milky trics...put some pics up when your harvested...was the holy grail a straight forward grow? Thinking of doing that strain...good job for getting them to harvest in real good Nick mate this problem you have is a nice one to have lol....:weed:

Yeah that's what im thinking, I week and a half longer than yours and you said it could've been chopped earlier! It's 58 days from switching to 12/12 for me so probably a few days less in actual flowering, I think I'm gonna have to come back on like the 23rd to chop and hang, then they can dry for 5 days whilst I'm away and be ready to jar when I get back- what do you think to that (will probably end up being 9 weeks of true flowering)

Ill get some harvest pics up for sure whenever it is I decide to chop!
 
The bulk has been chopped! Couldn't wait any longer so she lasted 8 and a half weeks in flower, now to wait...

Here's a group shot off the nugs off the bulk, anyone tell me what they think dried weight could be?? Sorry for the really crappy quality haha

Dry weight will be about twenty to twenty five percent of the wet weight buds look good mate...

Thanks man much appreciated, The buds seem to have lost nearly all smell since they've been chopped- will this return with curing or have I done something wrong?! Proper noobing out over here temps are aroung 18 degrees C, humididty is roughly 50%...

the smell will come back after you cure,
 
Chopped the holy grail and one of the master Kush plants yesterday, I've decided to leave the last Kush plant as I noticed a slight bit of purple coming through on the buds so I'm gonna leave it outside during the night and hopefully kill some of that chlorophyll off!

Here's a pic of the holy grail and one of the MK plants, man I really underestimated how long this shit takes...

Nothing really for reference on this photo but some of the buds were nearly as big as my tv remote!
