God I love how chunky a camera makes shit look....truth is, there is a quite a ways to go.
oh yea.... that's definitely shaping up to be something very nice... wow... now I cant wait... please keep me posted, I would like to see the final product
Holy cow.
A 1000 watt HPS for just a *single autoflower plant*?!?
I think most people would call that "overkill". . .in a good way! I can't wait to see how this one turns out.
I have some interest here, just because I'm growing the parent strain, William's Wonder (see my sig for grow report). Its a heavy yielder for sure, so it wouldn't at all surprise me if you got massive yields considering you can run an autoflower version under lights 24-0 (instead of just 12-12).
One thing, though. The "real" William's Wonder is supposed to take 9 weeks to flower, give or take.
If you figure an autoflower may mature a little faster, but also takes two weeks to become sexually mature from ceed, I don't think you're really going to finish the so called "60 days wonder" in less than 63-70 days (ie 9-10 weeks from ceed). All the reports I've seen on this DNA Genetics line say the same, it takes around 70 days, give or take a bit.
Nothing wrong with that, but IMO its a bit of a sham to call a strain "60 day wonder" when you need to give it 70(+) days!
Well, to be honest, there are 4 autoflowers and 2 "generic mystery beans" going under the light.
In terms of staggering your start dates, you don't need autos for that. Seedlings can be started whenever you like and then maintained easily under a cheap small desk lamp with a CFL or an inexpensive linear T8 fluorescent lamp. If you aren't able or willing to run separate grow areas, you could just run all your plants 12-12 from seed to harvest if you like. Yield won't necessarily be as high as running true autos under 20-4 lighting, but it will work with any strain.Well, to be honest, there are 4 autoflowers and 2 "generic mystery beans" going under the light. I have the 60DW at 50 days, An auto #1 at 43 days, a 2nd auto #1 at 28 days and a White Widow Auto at 12 days. It's the main reason I went with autos off the bat. It was the only way I could stagger my start dates effectively.
Bubble bags are a good investment, IMO.The two regular "mystery beans" are at 28 and 12 days. I am really only growing those so I can practice cloning, super cropping, etc on some free stock before I ruin some expensive beans. They will probably end up in the garbage at some point. Or perhaps it is time to get some bubble bags.
.It seems to me that any more than 4-6 plants won't work due to the small lamp fixture. It's a powerful light, but the fixture itself can only project light so far, right? Especially in the overkill size pots I'm using. Hell, I don't exactly know
Well, you'll see.I am curious to watch your WW progress. I would have given it a try when I last ordered, but Attitude was out of stock. I agree that 65-70 days seems like where I'm going to finish. But she is progressing so fast compared to my only other grow (outdoors last summer) that it's hard for me to guess. Things that took weeks to happen on that grow are happening in days with this grow.
Well in the last 48 hours I've had a turn for the worse. Fan leaves starting to yellow and dry out pretty bad, and not just the bottom leaves. Even some yellowing of the leaves in and around the top cola. I can tell she's root bound pretty bad but it's too late to do much about it at day 52.
Sure hope it's ok to just let her finish since she's probably 10-14 days away.
those look great. really good job...don't forget to take a pic once ur all cured and ready to go. love to see what kind of bud I should be expecting![]()
have you diagnosed ur problem hitch?

What's a "mystery bean"? Do you mean bagseed from schwagg? Those are usually hybridized Mexican heirloom/landrace plants. (If you're curious, see grow report in my sig below. . .unfortunately the pictures appear to be down right now).
Supposedly the 60-day wonder is a version of William's Wonder backcrossed until its stable. I'm curious to see how close it is to the real McCoy, but from what I've seen/heard so far, its not quite there, tossing out a number of phenos.
What I want do know is, how does your 60-day wonder SMELL? The real WW has a characteristic citrus smell.
It will be fine.
Its normal for fan leaves to yellow towards the end of flowering, even near the top of the plant. Typically this starts to happen 2 weeks before the plant is finished. So it seems like you're right on schedule.
Make sure to pick off any yellowing leaves. They're not going to get "better", but they ARE going to block light to the healthy leaves, plus potentially attract insects and bud rot, which can develop quickly and insidiously towards the end of flowering, particularly if humidity is high.
This is probably NOT the problem, but in general, the bigger the flowers get, the more nutes you need. You may also be running low this late in flowering, particularly if the plants are big for their pot size (which it sounds like they are) and you haven't been using any. If you haven't been using any fertilizers at all, and think this may be the problem, you might try one shot of a dilute water-soluble fertilizer now. . . in general you don't want to add fertilizers the last week of flowering, but you're two weeks out, and you can do a water flush the last week to rinse out any fert residues before harvesting. If you have been using nutes, don't worry about this.
The pictures didn't come through but from the previous ones I think you are doing great. The ones I grew had yellowing too. Looking at my notes, from what I can tell and remember the trichs seemed to increase quickly after day 52. I did have a note about the smell but I just said "nice" and I don't remember what that means exactly. I also had a note they were quite sticky at day 56.
check out the kanabia test results (to stoned to find link) optimum for autos is actually 14/10 sorry.
By the way, although the pics aren't showing, the attachment links are showing for me. You should be able to click on them individually.
