I wasn't aware of how small the sativa was in this plant but yea 9 out of 10 are big! One of them is around 17 inches which I guess should be around the right height considering it's 80% indica, so far the tallest is 43 inches lol

Yeah I made a a grow journal it's in the journal section, I got one that stretched like crazy it's got to be like 4 feet tall it like doubled during the stretch when it started buding.
Hows your buds looking which week are you thinking of harvesting like 10, 11, or 12?

thanks very much tek! i really appreciate your kind words there :) mind you ive learned a lot from yourself alone mate!

so these are now on week 9 and 1 day, the breeder recommends 7-9 weeks from seed to harvest but add a couple more just to make sure, baring in mind i screwed a lot up in the first several weeks and stressed them so bad i definately lost a good couple of weeks through non growth....so i think i have barely a week left?? whats your guesses??........

I'm excited to see how much you yield. I just got my NL auto beans today. I'm gonna pop em this weekend. I'll be curious as to the difference between your grow and mine with CFLs. I know your will yield mega-more per plant, but I still like to see the comparisons. Your ladies sure are purty!

Thanks a lot guys! I cud of got so much more if I had done it properly from the start but I screwed a lot up n diminished yields quite a bit but I hope for around 7 ounces. I started to flush with just water yesterday so hopefully in 10 days they will be ready for the chop!! Can't wait!!!

Yea I'm not disappointed or anything but I know next time I can do a lot better, but then this time was always guna be a trial n error run.
Yea I got a new thread up about my next lot of seeds, I want Dutch Passions Think Different but need to no as much about it as poss.
Nah mine don't smell too much bit maybe that's because I'm used to it....the missus says it stinks but I can't tell...carbon filter is doin it's job!

i think im going to run a kc brains kc-45 on my next grow just fill up a 2.5' x 2.5' scrog and let it spear tip up they just take so long from what i understand
i need something to pass the time until my purple haze is veg'd going to let it go for 3-4 more months and let it be the first plant to use the new bloom room
i say new room its still a pile of building materials

i just came upon this thread, they looked great in the last pics, interested in your yield, 7 oz seems very good, im deciding on autos or not, would you recommend them

I'm goin to wait until Friday and the cut them down to dry, one of them still needs a bit of time I think tho....it's leaves are still pretty much green and the hairs haven't browned off yet.
Il update this again on Friday mornin and let you all know how there goin for those of you that are interested :D

As for autos mate they are really amazing! Growth is fantastic and to be honest I messed a lot up and lost about 3 week's of grow time to stress and stuff so I cud of got so much more!! I'm estimating 7 oz tho and I would definitely recommend autos!!

Right then.....this will be the last time I update my very first thread! It's been a fairly long 10 week's or so since I first planted my lil babies on May 3rd, and I've learnt a lot since then! Anyways now has come the time to end their short lives with a very sharp Stanley blade lol so now after 5 hours off cutting, trimming and hanging up the fresh buds I'm on the final part of my journey!!!!! In about a weeks time they shud be dry enough to taste a bud or 2 :-D in a few days il let you all know the dry weight off my 10 northern lights!
