Took shots of two today when I had them out for watering. They are getting very frosty...quick look today all clear. Calyxes are really swelling up. 2 more weeks seems about right. I have new seeds coming late September with a ton of freebies. Right now leaning towards another auto grow. Have Green Crack auto and fem coming just in case this grow didnt turn out as good as my first 2 fem grows. The GC auto yields 550-600 sq. Meter...higher the these Cream Mandarine XL autos.
Sweet looking colas cr8! I've heard the GC is a producer. I almost bought it as one of my first seed purchases before I joined here, thru a past sponsor. Ended up going the typical WW route and they never made it to my cart. So many things I want to run but knowingly I will only get to a fraction of them.

Great journal! Late to the party but following. I'm a few weeks behind you with my second auto grow.

SO, Not wanting to count my buds before harvest, but close enough now to say this grow should equal my last grow at around 10 ozs cured. Do you know yet whether you will run the Nextlight or CMH next grow now you know how both perform?

MrSauga, Next grow journal will feature Green Crack, so we will see if XL yield. Im thinking about going from 3 gallon to 4 gallon pots to bump up yield. I want them to stay light enough after watering to be able to Pull from the cabinet. Thinking about no LST, just one main cola each.Sweet looking colas cr8! I've heard the GC is a producer.

Sunny...getting close now. Based on this grow fast turn around decided to go with another auto next grow. I will snip a tester bud this week. Even the lowest buds are swelling into nice nugs. Sweet Seeds did a nice job on the genetics...super fat frosty calyxes.

Cig, This grow was a test to see if an auto would produce like fems in my grow style. Looking to be on track and have decided to go with another high yield auto next grow if my seeds arrive later this month.
That one gallon increase will make a difference for the plant's root system so good idea. I don't think you will notice too much difference in weight so hopefully it fits your needs.
One main cola sounds like a winner too. I've always topped my autos but I'm thinking about doing the same to my next run whenever that will be.
There's no doubt I'll be running the Nextlight. It has a much better footprint for me and I can vary its output. I'm still a big fan of cmh, but not in my 4.5 x 4.5 foot tent space.

Day 56, end of week 8 from sprout; breeder says 9 weeks...getting close. Watering and feeding every 4th day now. I will scope later this week...buds are getting very frosty and even the stems are covered in trichomes. Pistils are changing color across more buds sites now. These are not the prettiest plants, they are using up the nitrogen in the fans...looks like some fan leaves will make it to the end. Seeing some more purpling on the two taller plants. The smell is skunky soy sauce at this point, that will change through cure. I’m loving the speed of these autos, I would just be getting fuzzy first flowers if these were fem photos like my first 2 grows.
Almost there! And not looking that bad at all from my house! We do grow bud aye?
I'm thinking they look just beautiful to me. I am no longer bothered by leaves yellowing and offering their nutrients to the plant. They are fall colors and a sign the plant is getting close to harvest. As long as there are plenty of green leaves (and you have them) then the plant is doing exactly what it's supposed to be doing.

What was your watts per square foot? I'm only 25 days behind you but you're way ahead of me at the same point in time
