Well, i'm one week away from harvest. You'll see from the pics that the autos are filling in very rapidly. It may be a bit premature to say since I haven't tested the buzz, but ill have to raise my opinion of autoflowers a bit. I can't help but think that if I would have avoided the initial PH and root issues, these plants would be monsters. I'm still not happy with the germination rate and the number of sickly/runts I got from 30 seeds, but in the end Id have to give the lowlife autoflowers a thumbs up.
I'll post a few pics of the harvest but I think i'll make a new journal for the nightshades.

Harvest time...but only one plant was ready. This plant had appeared to stop growing and the hairs were almost all brown. I realize there are better ways to tell when the THC is ready, but that's all I have for now. Anyway here she is. I guess for only using a 150 HPS and battling root rot, she didn't turn out too awful.
I can see why these are called dwarfs. This plant also shows how 150wt HPS doesn't have enough penetration power to do much to the bottom buds.
Only 3 remain...

Well this journey is over. Got about 1.25 OZ im guessing, no scales here. Plus a nice amount of popcorn/trim.
My final thoughts on the auto-flowers. Judged just on it's own, they are awesome plants. Having a plant bud under 24hr light was sort of cool to watch. Since I am used to 150hps scrog grows, the yield was about the same as I would normally get, but with 1/3rd less time. Mine finished in a little over 8 weeks, pretty much just as advertised. They smell green and strong, have a delicious taste, and a pretty strong buzz.
As compared to bag seed... About the same. Maybe i've just been lucky but I have always had pretty good tasty bud with bag seed. The smell, taste and buzz are very similar, but all are slightly more pronounced in the autoflowers. These did get a little more resin covered than previous bag seed grows. They smell and taste a little more potent, and the bud structure was a little more dense. I ordered the mix pack, but my nose can't tell any difference between them, they all just smell "green".
So overall i'd have to say these autos are only a small step up from bag seed. Considering the cost of the seeds, I can't say it would be worth it for me to grow these again. I think these strains are best for ppl who need the convenience, speed, and stealth aspects. But they accomplished what I wanted, which was something to keep me occupied and get me in the mindset of growing while I waited for my night shade mommas to grow.
The nightshade already smells like an exotic plant. When I rub the stem, I can smell that green/skunk smell but somehow it seems to be mixed with a lavender spearmint scent. I really hope the taste and buzz are over the top. I want to grow something that is completely new to my pallet, which the autoflowers didn't deliver.
See you next time around
