Yes expect a good 2.5 to 3 weeks before you start to see any great growth also keep in mind that autos love a big potter 5 gal minumium fkr bezt results very light light soil you will find that autos do not like its soil nuted up the genes will do its workI guess that's why my first auto is taking its time up top ... this is 8th day from sprout, with an advertised 60 day harvest there must be a lot of growin going on down below....

Love those pictures, just beautiful. Hopefully I can get some like that sometime.
Finally noticing a smell from this guy, but only when rustled.
Listed as an 8 week strain, but online suggests to be more of a 10-12 week strain. Buds are still very small, and trichomes are indeed forming, just very slowly. Added the new light, so we will see if that has an effect.

Thanks guys. Hopefully the additional 252 watts from the new light will aid in its final production. Looking good after 1 full day so far
The more light the better, they will thank you for it!

Greetings, long time reader, first time contributor. While these are my first plants I have been growing of this type, I do have a background in horticulture, so its not that difficult for me to pick up on.
My first seeds (one Acupulco Gold AF and one Snow White AF) were started back in late November, both had sprouted good sized roots before planting, but only the Acupulco Gold had emerged from below. I tried sprouting some more Snow White seeds, but they do not seem to want to germinate. So far every Acupulco seed I tried, has germinated. I lost two sprouts to human error, and have two seedlings starting their second set of true leaves. The first plant is now exactly 3 weeks old, and he is very small. I know I had stunted it by starting it in a peat pellet, rather than my current method of right in the pro mix. I am not worried though, he flourished under the new light. First light was a single 100w led grow light I gor off amazon, it worked great for a small area. My new Phlizon 600w LED light is amazing, all plants, including my tomato, love the amount of light it produces. Grow space is a 2ftx4ftx5ft Vivisun grow tent. 2 gallon Home Depot buckets are being used for the pots.
First plant is in Vigoro Triple Mix with some blood and bone meal at surface level. Seedlings are in Pro Mix Mycorrhizae HP, one with pre mixed bone and blood meal, and the other will be getting some Root Farm Base+All Purp, and then some Bloom. I purposely want to try several methods to see which is best and easiest.

and the last two were this morning on December 22nd
Still have over a month to go before its time to harvest, but I will certainly be keeping up with the daily growth, and pictures will certainly follow.
Welcome, lot's of good folks here, enjoy!

Sure wish this guy would put out more of a smell. Odor is terrible right now. Like rotting compost. Once tustled, smells like berries, makes my mouth water every time I get a sniff
Itll continue to change aroma as it matures. Hoping you get something you like!

I will like it regardless, as its all mine. Still a long, long way to go, so I don't expect it will stay quiet for long.
It will change no doubt!
