I decided on an autoflowering variety for my first go. I think I may have made a big mistake when I decided to top it, but I can't be sure. Here's the sich-e-ashun. AKR at 57 days and she's covered in popcorn. Some are so tiny that I hesitate to refer to them as popcorn for I fear they are unworthy of the title. Anyway, I treated her well. She's a healthy girl. No nute burn at all. The topping was done at around 16 days and she responded we'll to it. I mean absolutely vigorous growth following the topjob I gave her.
She 's got some decent trichs, some pistils turning orange, and is definitely producing resin, but I'm having a hard time believing that she's supposed to be done in another 6 days as per breeder specs...At least I hope she's not done. I don't have a scope with enough magnification to really see the trichomes but I've decided I don't care about the trichs at the moment. Bud size is the key. Something bigger bud gods, please!
What do you think? I know there won't be any main cola since I topped and LST'd. But do you think maybe I set her back a week or so by topping? There has been no real swelling of da buds yet from what I can tell. But maybe I just suck.
Also the smell is like nothing I've ever smelled before, hard to describe but I'd say it's chemical-ish mixed with a light hint of armpits. Is that normal.....is it normal for immature buds because maybe that's what I've got?
Oh yes, here's the lights:
Flouros @ 150 true watts + reflectors.
6 weeks @ 24/0 and the 2weeks @ 12/12
Pistils first appreared at wk 4.
So it's been flowering for 4 weeks in total
