5x5's Auto RDWC UK Cheese Grow

LOL. Thats a full size can right there.

Well, to sum up this grow.....it was fun. These autoflowers sure gave me a surprise. They outgrew any photo plant I have grown, granted I have only had two grows before this one. I felt helpless as I was not in control of veg and flower, the lights were just 18/6 and literally, I hung on for the ride. The plants did what they wanted to do.
Really no difference in running the EC/PPM vs any other plant I have grown. Maxed out at 600ppm on the 500 scale.
The 18/6 light cycle did well to keep the grow space warm during the winter.

Anyway, here is my 7ft tall tent after harvesting one plant, to get a sense of how big they got.

Close up of those buds.

The king. I have not grown a photo cola to match this fucker. It weighs 7 ounces and some change wet.

The roots did not look too shabby either. I was complaining on another thread about how they destroyed my netpots.

One final thing, I think this is a fun reminder of where I started. That little black dot between the arrows is one half of the seed hull.
The other half is on the other side. Nice ta see ya again.

Total wet weight?

I don't know. Trimming was a shitload of work so I didnt bother. I weighed the big cola for the wife and it was 7.something oz wet. Gonna take awhile to smoke that bad boy.

By the way, my wife suggested to rent a rotary trimmer for 200 bucks.
FOR god's sake people save yourself the days of work and rent a trimmer if you can.
Trim the big colas by hand and save the bullshit for the trimmer. Literally it would have saved DAYS worth of work.
