Anyways... An auto! pic is from today. Starting this year off with a thump lol. I was the kid that Dad tested the thump on the forehead with. Haha! Seriously I needed it. ;)
I'm growing some autos & 'Fems' this year. Already can't wait to do regs again... next year! !
But, I'm gonna be happy with what the hell happens this year!! So off we go!

Since my connections are so wonky at home... I'll talk about my pics later

I've got 3 autos, pulled out their pistils the 10th. I love them lol
BlueBerry Candiez, Sticky Orange & White Widow CBD.
As soon as I popped the BlueBerry & Sticky..I ordered more seeds. But the smell of the White Widow yum.
Sticky is only for my personal tincture
I have heard so much conflicting info on Autos, I just had to try! Please help if anyone sees me making a mistake. I'm using Mycorrhizal Fungi & dry ferts this year.

Growing Fems already making me want regs next year! I lost a few seeds :(
Not very impressed, so far....
Except: the Pumpkin Spice has fat leaves so she gotta be good lol, haven't topped her yet.
BOD: 3-6-26; by the 20th, I thought she was a gonner. Went into a 7 gal bag on 4-1-26, by 4-6-26 she was still kickin' it. Whew! perked up fast. This one is supposed to thrive outdoors 40".
I'm game. Lol. 50/50 hybrid

LSD: Just the name haha got me interested..
supposedly Resistant, & not easily affected by Weather changes. It grows a short 2' outdoors! Went into a 7 gal bag 4-1-26.
I wasn't thinking of doing LST & messed up putting her into the middle of the pot! Crikey! My mind is trying to work out a spot that I can keep her laid low to max buds. I already know I'll grow this one again She was a dream to bend over!
: ) lay down & rest up honey lol
Tips say to use organic ferts on this one. Not supposed to need pesticides, but I found a red spider mite on her 1 day & hit her with Neem. I really love this one!
I was about to give up on this cultivar till 'Luci Lucid' bent completely over & healed herself by being propped up with skewers! Amazing little lady. :)

I'm growing the CBD for a neighbor... But I couldn't find lower THC for sale. I was amazed at how fast CBD seeds sold out!! This White Widow is 10% THC/8% CBD.
Is it true that Auto's should not be defoliated much, if any? Do they really take longer outdoors than indoors? What else should I pay attention to? Thanks in advance

Plants are looking great!

I’ve got a couple autos growing right now (small at the moment) never grown one before. I’m already messing up with the watering!

Looking good!

Thanks BearWater! I just keep sticking my finger in the dirt & never water till it comes up dry : ) It's my 1st x to grow autos & fems. Also... I'm loving these grow bags!! The autos are such cute little girls, I love them! I think I'll learn lots from them this year.
To me... Autos shouldn't count towards the limit allowed! They're to itty bitty to matter haha
The Fems have been slow to make me a believer. But, so far they seem to be iffy till they get settled in their new home. Shocked a bit looking then boom
I'm hoping only 3 Fems get tall! Haha
I have my tape measure & when I ordered seeds I'd pull it out and go OK ... How tall before I can't hide them from my neighbors LMAO

Ok @Oldchucky - you convinced me to get some 10 gal bags! So... After planting a 5 gal, 7 gal, & 3 - 3 gal ones...
I wanted to see how much a 10 gal would take! WOW!
(granted, I've got a girly wheel barrel haha) Hubby just shook his head..when I saw it & sounded like Goldilocks..
"it's just my size!"
Haha
I can mix it on a tarp pretty good, but it seems to get windy Everytime I'm doing it! LoL Getting a bigger tarp tomorrow!
Planning on doing 3-10 gallon bags this grow. Figure I can manage hiding 3 biggen's lol (big to me is anything over 5'2") HaHa
I remember the feed back you gave me & tips for this year... Except for how much Perlite/Vermiculite mix to use. So I went with 20%.
I'm already into my 2nd 4 cubic huge bag!! But I'm using it in my vege beds also! Learning to grow cannabis & the need for perlite is helping my whole garden!!! Forever grateful Mr old Chucky

I bent my plants over outdoor to hide them : ) you can get some real awesome lateral growth going on

I think you’re going to like those 10gal : )

That's exactly what I told my daughter yesterday, when she asked MOM! How will you hide them?????
I'll bend them over! (like a threat) LoL

I hope the 10 gal don't turn me into old Chucky... Growing in 30 gallons!!! Haha
Growing weed is a full time job! I need naps!! : ) & smoke breaks ;)

CBD Seed Labs out of Cali have CBD and 1:1, auto and reg. Reasonably priced too.

I haven't seen a difference in Auto time line from in or out or 3 vs 6 gal bags. Strains yes...Critical Auto was done in just over 8 weeks, Amnesia Haze auto right at ten, Northern Cheesewreck I was doing seeds so they went a long time and right now I'm at nine weeks Monday on Maverick CBD, Amnesia Haze and Cannacheese 1:1 and the only one look near ripe is the 1:1.

That's my experience so far.

I think you’re close enough! I think I have one 30 and one 50. The rest are mostly 35 with a few 40s! The way you guys feed them all summer you should be able to get a large plant out of a 25! Can’t wait to see!
