ya, I am not in it for yield either (although the more the merrier lol). its just a hobby of mine that is fun and you learn a lot. I am glad getting the approx. 2 ounces I get each grow.

and I think 2 ounces for 1 plant is pretty good for a dresser grow.

do you Top your plants or do any LST?
No I grow auto's the have a set lifespan so I don't like to mess with them. I remove most of the leaves once they've stopped growing up and are packing weight on buds. Mostly cause they don't need as much space that way the bottom buds mature better. I do some lst if it's necessary.

I dont do much of trimming after I change to flowering unless its getting REALLY packed with leaves. should I be clearing out leaves?

i havent done any autos yet. so how does that work exactly? on a set day you change to flowering and it just does it on or around that day? I dont really know much about auto-flower seeds.

Try a branch or two it's a matter of preference, you'll get a more even bud size along it's length with a slightly smaller top bud. Wait until a week after the stretch finishes. If you have time you can do multiple leaf strips during veg if you do that you'll get bud sites every inch along the branch.

So what they've done is bred in Cannabis Ruderalis, Siberian hick cousin of the good shit. It's shitty for drugs but it has a gene that allows it to flower in 24 hour light. So they isolated that trait and made smokable strains, good ones. The advantage is you can veg and flower in the same space, also they don't like to be transplanted which means you get to start and finisg them in the same pot.

Life cycle is like this. sprout to 21 days they'll get about a foot tall, at that stage they hit puberty and double/ triple in size over the next 14, then it's about 28 days to the finish. So 9 weeks-ish from seed to harvest all 16 hours of light. I normally harvest every 3 or 4 weeks, because I stagger sprouting based off the full moon (hippy shit). I missed a cycle recently though cause buying several bags of potting compost in January as a young male is ill advised. Hence seed run and no quality mature plants currently.

I am thinking Auto's wouldnt be that great for my cabinet (as I need to top it and do LST for it to fit nicely in there). but I wouldnt mind trying a few auto's out on my deck come june.

You can Lst no bother, no topping though, The more I think about it, you could cut 4 weeks off your cycle time with auto's, maybe if I'm remembering the details correctly. Also I'll post you non fem auto seeds if you want. I've been messing with them their true auto i.e they flower in 24 hour light some are not. They have genes from several auto's in them Royal Dutch auto, Sweet Pakistani Ryder, and White Widow auto, it's a broad church but they're good seeds and one seed plant will keep you going for ages.

ya, I like the idea of them so far, but my cabinet is too small if I cannot top them. now I am not against making another one and having them on rotation. lol.

lol. dont do that for me! lololol! I'll find out on my own before I build another box / tent.

yes, I can cut down 3 - 4 weeks per grow with auto's. right now I am getting 5 grows a year. so I could get 8 grows. which is NICE!

how tall do the auto's get on average? I only have about 2.5ft of height (excluding the height of the hempy bucket)

Bastard:D!! Sprout mid April, smoke mid june, you'll squeeze three runs in a season.
okay. so when should I start my outdoor seeds for the first run outside then? it can get frosty overnight here in the mountains even into May. but its not like I have to leave my plants outside overnight. I can bring them into my sunroom.

1) I have all the seeds it's not an issue, If it works I'll top them all always. 8 is lovely. Mine are 2 feet ish but they'll scrog or lst happily I know from experience. I get 30-50 grams a plant but hempy would improve that no doubt.

2)If you can bring them in outta the frost Mid April, if not after the frost. Start batches every four weeks and you'll get a crop a month June to September.
