Comparing breeders descriptions, I've noticed that autos never have as high of THC concentration as their photoperiod counterparts. Makes sense, I guess, as there isn't as much time for an auto to develop.
You also have to consider that to make the auto flowering version you need to start with the original genetics and incorporate auto flowering genetics that are going to be, 99% of the time, less potent. Then you’re looking for offspring that approximate the original except with the auto flowering trait.. chances are you’re better off looking for an identical terpene profile as priority #1, then comes THC content.
Thanks guys for that tidbit of info. As far as Grandpa's Glue goes I've heard great things about it and have seen some of his prize buds. Yours looks stellar. He's squishee king with that stuff too!You also have to consider that to make the auto flowering version you need to start with the original genetics and incorporate auto flowering genetics that are going to be, 99% of the time, less potent.

@MrSauga you outta get yourself some of that grandpa glue so you can see for yourself!
Thanks GDB. Every once in a while members will hit it big with some good info here. The downside is I'll probably have nothing else for a few weeks now.Geez, there sure has been some great info on the last few pages, the seed planting method was a real nice tidbit!
Let me know how it works out. If it fails I was never hereExplains why I get helmet head once in a while. I will be planting your way Mr S next time.
Ha. That sounds Presidential!Let me know how it works out. If it fails I was never here
lol, you can have mine that workedI planted a couple seeds on Sunday using your method. Nothing yet, but I think by the end of today I will see something. Otherwise, you owe me two seeds! (just kidding)
lol, only one that I can think ofHa. That sounds Presidential!
Hey everybody!
A little update on the @Weedseedsexpress beans on the go. Last night at 10:10pm I put them in some paper towel after soaking in water for just over 24 hours. Tonight both the Lithium OG Kush's had tails around 3/8" long and were planted in their first home... red solo cups. The Pinkman Goo's have shown no sign of a tail yet. Actually one is just starting to peak out but the other is staying shy for now. Note the curl on the tip of the tap root. I'll touch more on that further down.
Below is the procedure I follow when planting into their first home. The next pic is the media before prep. It's Nature's Care Organic Potting Soil on it's own. Very similar to Fox Farm Ocean Forest but not quite as good as far as it's drainage characteristics are concerned. Nothing to worry about as long as you understand that and compensate with perlite when transplanting into their final home.
The 1/4" wooden dowel has a mark at both ends. One is set at 3/8" depth and the other is at 1/2". I used the 1/2" mark with a little extra because of the length of the tap roots.
I add water and lightly compact the soil to form a mo(u)ld around the dowel. I'm also rotaing it at the same time.
Once the dowel is removed I have a nice clean damp hole to drop my beans into.
Earlier I mentioned to note the curl on the tap root. The below pic always raises questions. Keep in mind that the image is assuming the seed is planted directly in the media. When using any method that allows the tap root to emerge before planting in the media you'll notice the tap start this curl. The curl is minimal but it's there. It's looking for a way down and if it was in the ground it would naturally do this.
The other helpful benefit to planting the seed this way is to prevent helmet head. When the helmet has to curl up the natural action is to peel the helmet off. If you plant the seed with the tail down the earth is forcing the helmet on as it grows to the top. Below you can see the curl already turning in the hole where mine was planted.
Finally in their first home in solo city.
Hey everybody!
Last night before bed one of @Weedseedsexpress LOGK's peeked their heads out so I grabbed a shot of it. Sorry for the colors, they were under the blurples and I can't adjust the WB properly.
This morning the other LOGK has broken the surface too.
And finally a group shot. The Pinkman Goo in the top left solo should be up today or tomorrow as it was a day behind planting.
The second PG seed failed so there's another one in paper towel now and it appears to have a small tap coming out so we'll see later today.
Mr. Sauga, I planted two seeds today using your method. Does that mean I can't get a snail?
Welcome little Saugettes!
