quick edit: if this plant does have the auto trait in them, switching to 12/12 should show the sex relatively fast compared to a regular strain right?

honestly if its a autoflower it will just keep growing under 12/12
if it flips then its probably not a auto

if you want to go talk about the good old days im sure you could make another thread about it. its hard to look at peoples entries while i have to go through pages of random things. (tek)

thanks for the suggestion blu and i appreciate the input, im going to see what all the entrants think and then we will go from there, i understand your concern and could see why you would want to have a new thread for updates and the such, so maybe we will do it this way, like ik said, we will prob. go with what the majority wants to do. thank you and best of luck in the contest bro

Any particular reason you use clear cups?

There's somebody here that DOES use clear, but he drops them inside red ones so he can lift the clear one out and peep the roots.

I couldn't find 16oz cups ANYWHERE here for some reason. guess when I went it was buying frenzy on 16oz's??!! lol..... Finally found that pack in the clothing section at wally world..... I'm only using them for the contest.
I like how you can see the roots too.....


I have 18oz reds i'm now using, instead of the 6" pots, for first plant of my plugs...

Some BD clones will stay in cups for breeding purposes. No need to make the plant HUGE for seed production...

my lady is starting too flower

haha damn, I feel behind. grooowww grooowww!!

Hope I win. Its usually better imo if I put dem autos in 3gal containers at least.

Lookin good stew nice and green. Should wrap aluminum around the cup at least bud. Dem roots don't like light. Did she sex yet??

I got other cups I put em in to block the light.

None have sexed. the last batch that was planted 7/15 didn't sex on time either. not too worried about it. they are 18 days old. in a week they'll be twice this size...

@tek ok, not very knowledgeable on autos, ive only grown one and it was a male. switched to 12/12. i guess there is still a small window to flower but like i said, imma mostly honest guy so if it doesnt show soon im going to drop from the comp.

also, i agree w/ what was said about the chit chat and banter being part of the fun of the comp but a seperate thread just for viewing pics and updates is cool. how about making it your official submission to post every pic you took into a seperate thread so as to see the progress of each individual . but again, im not bothered.

Hey MdwNtr- I'm a little confused as to the 12/12 switch. How old is she? Do you got pics?

Auto's run 18/6,20/4, and 24/0. . 12/12 is for Photoperiod plants. to induce flowering indoors when they have developed enough to bud.

i would say about 35-40 days

(edit: my math could be off. they were germinated about 5 or so days before the contest officially started). ive heard that when autos arent completely stable that a switch is necessary to flower but again, im not sure if any of the things ive read is true because i havent been able to put into practice. unfortunately i dont but before i left out, i took measurements. only about 11.5 inches tall from the top of the soil and almost non existent side branching. if you can wait for a day or so (monday would be better so i dont have to rush.) i can definitely snap some shots.

the contest started 19 days ago. officially. however there are a few early and a few late entries.

I'm pretty sure you were one of them.(I remember reading your post when you started, but you weren't around for a few weeks after correct?)

As for the lady.. If she is that tall and has no side branches and IS 35+ days old, something is wrong.. Not an auto first off(I can't see a real autoflower not flowering after a month and not growing vigorously by now), Not enough light second, and maybe something is off with the nutes you have been using if any........This is 32 days old today She's starting to bud now and has MANY branches...


PM me info on your lights, nutes, and if you have an exact date that would help... Also the strain you think you have(I know you got it from a friend so whatever he/she said)....... I'll run back in the thread and find out if it helps....

Sounds about right. I'm sure by then they'll show what's under their skirt. Doing good bud yers gots a deep green.

I just saw this thread. i know its supposed t be auto but I have 2 going in cups right now, about 2 weeks old but i dont think they are stable. I havent seen any sex organs lol. is it too late to enter or have i started too early? it would also be my second documented grow but 4th all together. I probably dont stand a chance though with all of you vets, even if i do get let in lol but i still wanna try.

Watch my thread. this spyder fem I got going in a 3gal is popping purple calyx already... first ones are all purple. so I am hoping for the best!. Gonna make sure I use the Hermed male(YES HERMED MALE, was male now is a herm. lol and he's got purple calyx too!) to pollenate this bitch and get some NICE purp auto seeds. I'll do what I can with one of the SOLO's too to get fem seeds.

I don't really tinker much with the autos. Last time I spent money on vertigo autos. I wasn't pleased. When I'm getting more cash flow I might buy em. But for now any freebie autos I get. Go in the ground outside. Well except my entry of course.

Hello everyone. hope all is well you guys way.. Wanted to stop in and post my pics of my AK-47 (auto) I enetered in for the contest.
And also "thank everyone" that has sent out warm wishes to my Mother & me, and also for all the prayers. means a lot to us all..

*on the Ak, I went ahead 3 nights ago & topped her. I also dropped her light schedule down to 20/4 the same night. Flushed her alittle for the past 2 days, and then going to start back with a light feeding of bloom food. Here she is..
