Don't want to burst your bubble, maybe you'll have better luck. But I'm no fan of the fast n vast. Bought a three pack, one didn't germ. Dropped another in the summer and it was a dwarf, very good smoke, but the yield was 16g. Basically a waste to me. I just dropped the last bean a few weeks back, I have a dozen or so I'm running to finish out last year seeds. And, I'm probably going to cull it. I need the soil.

It's, three inches tall and already flowering,, as comparison, I have a Candy Kush and THC Bomb a bit older and if you saw them side by side you'd have a bad taste about autos.

Over the summer while I was growing the other one, someone on here has one going who was also disappointed with the size.

Just passing it on, wish you the best.

Thanks for the info Mass Ill make sure when I run that one to make sure everything is perfect to see how it does lol. Im grabbing 1 bean a strain to try some new stuff out and see what I really like. The way this Berry Ryder is going so far Ill be ordering more of that once I can see the yield and how she smokes.

This one is three weeks old. This is a few days ago, sixteen nodes at time,, amazingly thick stalk. Running on Doc Buds hi brix. Let her grow tall and wide, then last night I pulled her down. I've grown this strain, candy kush, over ten times and they really respond well to training. Yield is typically 90-120grams but I can do better on Doc's I bet. Run them 70-80 days seed to harvest. Good day everyone...

Good luck with that on Doc's kit (summat I know zero about but one day hope to understand). They sure are cute when they are that size. With the candy kush do you get the really dense nugs and musky taste you get from a "real" kush? I don't mind an interesting twist in the aftertaste.....I'd welcome it and that's the kind of thing I'm looking for from other strains.

70-80 days might give me enough time to fit in some more autos before I run more Violator Kush (that shit rocks BTW :) Got 7oz of 1 that had more space and probably 5+ each off the other two.). Will wait and see how big my current 2 ShortStuff autos get though. I'm kinda hoping they want half my room each and go at least 10oz if I can spread them out enough ;)

I'd love to try every one on those. Fines choices if you ask me.

Have fun:thumb:

Who knows,, too many variables. I've yet to have a dud with certain strains in various mediums. But, I've only grown about five auto strains more than three times. It's why I like photos more, e.g. Cloning a good one, but don't mind paying with autos.

I might be the test case for Doc and autos. There is no schedule, I am watching the plant and paying most attention to the two strains that have been most stable, candy kush and THC bomb.

I have run six photos on Doc's, and I'm hooked. If I can't dial in autos I might go back to coast of Maine soil and water and tea for autos,, but,, I bet I'll be able to watch the plants and feed accordingly...

Anyone who's had the candy kush LOVES it. It's my favorite auto. Can't wait to taste it on Doc's, won't lie. My VK just made the upcan to 1.7.... Gonna veg it for around 90 days or when I get the frame I want.

Is your THC Bomb a photo girl? I have one going now that started outside, went to 7' tall. LOL It's inside now and I had to bend the crap out of it to fit under the light.
I cloned it as well, so I can start one indoors and train it low. The clone is a flower, so it's going to take a while to get going.
Would love to see how yours ends up if it's a photo girl.

I did many THC Bomb photos, yes. None right now, only smoking it. I had it lab tested or one of them tested,, well over 20% total. Awesome strain. Not the most flavorful, but great yield. Glad to hear about yours!

That's very encouraging, thank you! The first one I started had to be destroyed with all of my other plants due to a breach of security to my grow. I never got to see it fully completed.

I love it so far. :)
I wonder if there is a THC Bomb Auto? I'll have to hit the seed breeders and see.

My VKs have all stretched like crazy after flip.....like pretty much trebled in size in what seems like a matter of days. (I should post my spot the light pic!) Well behaved in veg and flower but the transition between keeps catching me out. I'm sure you'll do better than me at keeping it under control though.

My last lot were about 100 days from seed to harvest.....if I veg'd for 3 months I'd need a growroom that resembled an Olympic sized diving pool! :)

The autos I've grown so far seem to grow at a steadier rate.....they gradually pick up the pace in veg and carry it through into flowering rather than bursts of speed at certain stages. I think of growing autos a bit like driving a go kart.....get it wound up and maintain momentum. There's only one way to drive 'em ;)

Yes, I'm running two THC bomb autos. Very good yielder like the photo, loves training, loves to eat. Good luck with those VKs!!
