KWsmoke's short stuff #1 autoflower grow

[Kwsmoke]

I've never liked fem seeds, I love growing a male every now and then for the pollen. Plus I dont like paying more for them, but then again I don't like paying for seeds at all really!

[vxscott18]

yeah but it wasnt that much more and i want to make sure i get all females

[mesrone.]

this sounds interesting. i have been eading a little bit about autflower plants too, they sound super interesting.

Hey, I will be watching this grow for sure. I am really interested in these autoflower strains. I grow for myself and my brother mainly so a quick growing strain would be perfect.

To each his own, right?
My first grow was Medusa fems and they turned out really good so I know they're reliable.

Thanks for the intrest mesrone! Autoflowering strains have been catching my eye for a while, but I couldn't find many grow journals to show me a finished product. Stick around and we'll see what happens!

That's whats up, glad to have you! Same here man, I grow for my own personal use and I'm sure a decent harvest will hold me over. (At least long enough for another cycle of an AF strain!)

i know this may be gettin old and sounding repetetive...but o well...i wanna see how this auto flower stuff works as well!!! cant wait to see them so good lcukl!

[Kwsmoke]

Haha don't sweat it man, I think we're all really excited to see how this goes!

[Kwsmoke]

Hell yeah! Before I start, let me say that I think I'm sold on AFs.

After only 48 hours from me getting the seeds in the mail, 2 seeds have sprouted!

I know I'm getting ahead of myself, but for my next grow I'm thinking about doing an AF Hempy grow with Russian Rocket Fuel as the strain. I really can't imagine what the growth rates would be using the hempy method, but I know that it sounds like the way to go!

Anyway, here are the pictures of the two infants.....





I have written out a detailed feeding schedule that I have used with success in the past. I'll post it up here after collecting some kief from this columbian red hair that just rolled into town.... I guess I'll get some pics of that as well :)

eyes are tuned in on this one sir, thanks for the frequent updates!

[AmGrowR]

Here we go!!!!! Good luck!!!!

Awwwww.......they're so cute when their babies.

Nice job, keep it up, and remember that less is more when it comes to nutes.
(I always want to feed mine when they don't need it....but I don't do it.)

I figured I would post the feeding formulas that I have been using to help people get the most out of their nutrients. The only thing that I would like to add to the mix is Bloombastic from Atami. I've heard that it's the single greatest flowering additive ever produced, however from what I understand it isn't sold in the states..... bummer!

Anyway, here goes nothing. The nutrients I'll be using are from the technaflora line of plant products.

I'll be using the following nutrients and additaves;
-Thrive Alive B-1 Green
-Thrive Alive B-1 Red
