Haha a toast!The Auto Flower. It, to me, is a marvel of horticulture. We have actually changed the course of nature with the auto flowering cannabis plant. When done right, they can even rival a photo period plant. But growing auto flowers in my case, has always been stressful. As soon as an auto flower is germinated, it is a race against time. They waist very little time getting to the flowering stage. You have to keep them healthy in that short period of time too, because as soon as you make one mistake, your plant's yield is in jeopardy. And that is why I am shocked, yet very grateful and happy at what I saw after opening the tent after a 4 hour dark period.
I made a desicion this morning to transplant a blueberry auto flower that was already in the pre flowering stage. Just a bit of research on any breeders website or grow forum will tell you that the blueberry plant itself is fickle. Sensitive to over fertilization, light stress, PH, all of the above, and that's the phot version. The Auto Flower Version is even more sensative. I would have to be a fool to attempt a transplant this late in the cycle.
I knew that there would be a transplant shock and that it would set me back maybe a few days up to a week, and I mentally prepared myself for that. However the Gods must be smiling upon me.
This plant has bypassed transplant shock and went straight to growing like crazy.
Here are the pictures side by side.
This has never happened to me before. Like ever.
So with that being said:
Cheers
