So today is day 30. One plat has some type of problem, i believe it to be a (P) def.

I bumped up the feedings on the plants, and they weren't very happy with the stronger food. Flushed them down with water, and am going to continue feeding with water for the time being.

Pictures of the 2 best plants and the def. on the 3rd strongest plant. the 2 in the back are at least 2 weeks behind the others.

Great looking plants! this is my first grow and im having alot of possitive success. This is my first grow and ive gone auto to kind of make sure i have something to show for my investment. To be honest i dont think yours are bulking up as well as mine. I got my seeds from a dispensory where this is almost all they smoke and showed me his 300 auto haze plants growing. I decided to pick up 23 of the seeds for my self. I highly suggest you keep the light MAX 1ft away at all times! mine have been deprived of water for a week and almost lost it but i ended up saving them. Keep in mind mine are at day 50. Im also running a 1000w on 18/6. I did not allow mine to stretch what so ever as recomended by the dispensery. take a look and give me some feedback.

bigmac thanks for the kinda words!! I was a bit depressed with the stretching myself, this is not my first grow, but it is my first automatic grow.

I was concerned because i was keeping the light withing about 12 - 14 inchs of the tops, and they would keep stretching into the "danger zone"(heat) so i would bump the light up 2 - 4 inchs, and it continued for the first 3 weeks...

i was pretty bummed, cause these are some older freebies that i had laying around, and they were labeled 90% some i'm pretty sure they were "seconds".. but i did alot of searching around on the dinafem haze autos and my plants are almost identical growth as the breeders and alot i have seen on the webs... here is the strain gallery for the haze auto from dinafem

Just hoping they turn out that sweet ;)

yeah dinafem is really good, mine germed in 18hrs! mine are nowere close to getting that tall. I got about 3 main colas on each of mine. I find these to be EXTREMELY sensitive to nutes, how big of bucket? how often you feeding? mine are in 2 gallon and i water on wednesday and feed every sunday half strength. how long do you think til mine harvest? i know dinafem says 80 days...

how long do you think mine will take to harvest? currently day 50 - dinafem says 80 days. If i could change one thing and i recomend you start doing it, feed the hell out of these fuckers THEY ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!

i use 2 gallon pots, i water when dry, about every 2 - 3 days.. and i was feeding 1/2 strength every time... You plants look really really good, the bud density looks amazing, i would say try and get a scope to look at the trichomes and see if they are turning amber.. from what i could see in the pictures, they are starting to go milky for sure... autos are high CBD though, so im going to let mine go till they are atleast 50% amber.. and i'm supplementing ~50watts of UVB for the plants, to boost resin and THC production.

Well thank you very much for the compliments, this is my first grow and i have just been winging it for the most part, i have no idea about checking trichomes or anything lol i think i might just go 75 days and chop, sounds real rookie i know

Its easy man, the trichomes, are the "crystals" on the sugar leaves and the bud, they look kinda like a glass mushroom, the top bulb, has three stages, clear, milky, and amber, it is believed Milky = more CBD and Amber = more THC

They are super easy to see with like a 5 - 10x magnifying glass

see what i mean by noticing bud growth daily at this point? what a wonderful thing. Oh ya, i find with this strain heat is not an issue, when it was summer i caught tent up near 100f and i was out for the whole day...

Great progress. probably a few weeks til chop, im doing mine on friday witch makes it day 69. Further researched showed that these are 80 days on 12/12. I have no recent growth just crystal and they are hard and dense as a rock. happy farming

thanks again bigmanc.....

There has been so much stigma, around the autoflowering strains because of the ruderalis. but to be perfectly honest, i don't see any photo period 12/12 from clone/seed coming even close tot he production of these autos... The real test will be in the smoke, if its not a winner, ill just try a different strain. Im thinking about shooting for the 60 day wonder, or the Critical Jack Automatic from dinafem..

my girls are starting to put on alot of weight, i "shake" my branches lightly every visit, and every "shake" they get heavier.... i'm still not down to touch my nugs...
