how long would you estimate it takes this strain to grow from seed/sprout to harvest? i'm just curious bc i'm doing a stealth grow and would like to shorten my grow time if possible

Hey thanks for the props... from seed to harvest is supposed to be around 65 days... from research i have done as well as several other grow journals on forums much like this one the general seed to harvest rate is about 72 days on average 65 bein on the low end of things.

OKAY BOYS

I need someone who knows their shit to tell me if changing my grow spectrums t5's out to bloom spectrums t5's at day 17 is a stupid idea... its my understanding that this strand and autflowers in general skip the veg phase almost altogether and go directly into flowering so in my mind i have to say that nothing is wrong with changing out the spectrums this early in a 65 day seed to harvest life span... maybe im wrong.

my only worry is by changing out the spectrums early i stop the verticle growth of the plant altogether and as you can see by the pics they arent very verticle haha.. yet they ARE already sprouting little bud sites along the main stem.. so I gotta say im kinda at a loss right now.. considering these dont go from veg to flower due to light scheduel changes like going from 20/4 to 12/12 like you would on a regular plant but instead its flowering cycle is decided simply by time... any feedback or added info on this would be great fellas.
you should use the red flower lights right from the start or a least very soon into the grow. btw you will be very pleased with the smoke from the auto AK's. i have followed a few journals and everyone says it really close to the non-auto version in potency

you dont need to use a dark period. some say they bud better with 20/4 but from what i have seen it barely matters.... that said, i have to admit i am an outdoor grower and anything i say about indoor i have learned here or from reading and researching.

thanks.. thats awsome seeing how most plants take that long just during flowering without the veg time included.

yeah thats why i went for them... the faster i harvest the better off i am plus if i can knock out multiple harvest a year that benifits me too... these plants do well for consecutive harvest out door as well.. i think next year im going to do a MASSIVE AF gorrilla grow haha we'll see

haha well good luck with it. i've thought about growing a few outdoors but i kno they're safe where no one can find them in my house.lol i'm really interested in your T5 light too. what size fixture is it and how well does it do for your plants? also how much is the average harvest from an auto? sorry for all the questions but your setup is pretty much exactly how would like mine for a good stealth grow.

I think my light is the 4' X 1.5' light it has 4 bulbs, works very well for up to 5 AF plants, wouldnt trust it to any more but they do make bigger sizes as well as smaller. Most Af growers under optimal conditions can get 2 oz to 1.5 oz of a plant dry but they can be as little as 5 g and up to 56 g, reports show thart one man in a hydro grow got like 96 g off a single lowryder plant sooo... it kinda depends on what you use to grow it.. nutes light method.. bubbleponics, DWC, soil... it seems to vary depending on these things.

watered the plants with the bud hardener and molases mixture.. should see a new boost in growth in the next couple days plan for a photo op on the girls at the next watering.. so a couple days tops.

Ill have a photo update for you tonight my friend as well as a list of things i have learned so far in this grow that may help future first time growers.
That sounds great, this thread will prove to be very useful to me when I start my first grow here shortly. I was waiting to order my seeds from Attitude until their promotion started that they have running. Got the Northern Lights autoflower and will be doing a journal on it since I can't seem to find one with that strain as an AF. Got everything I need now with the exception of my yet to be completed stealth grow cab and my fan with a DIY carbon filter.

PAST DUE UPDATE - DAY 52 -

Sorry I havent been around to update I keep very busy these days and find little spare time. On another note the plants are doing GREAT 3 of them are far into flowering with the other 2 close behind, in fact one or two of them look like they may be ready for the chop but i cant fully be sure due to the lack of a microscope at this point, i will be picking one up today.

I have had a few ups and downs with the girls since the last real update and due to the lack of time on my hands at the moment ill have to give a full update on those things later (later today I promise :hump:) The list of thing I think all beginners should know will also be coming later today along with that in depth update on the ladies.

Untill then all i got to say is to you would be T5 haters out there enjoy the pics :-o even for a "green grower" such as myself the plants are developing amazingly in the T5 platform with all organic nutes.

More to come later.. enjoy the bud porn :weed:

well i got my 30 power microscope today boys... looked at the oldest girl she is getting milky in the trichs and i see a lil amber here and there im looking for a mostly milky harvest as im not much a fan of couch lock.... soooooo based on what I saw went ahead and cut one of the branches off the girl :lol: you know i couldnt resist haha:wall: hard headed. anyway fellas ill have some early harvest bud porn on here later.. im quick dryn the bud to smoke later tonight as well. To anyone who may know will cutting this lower brach stall out the plant cause i cant afford to lose that time here at the end.. even though its too late to go back now haha.
 
gotta say i am very impressed ive wanted to use a t5 full through but everyone talks bad about em same with the autos. got my hands on a few autos by mistake and am definately not hesitant seeing this. beautiful beautiful plants man definately gonna follow this one till its done.
