i recently bought some blue streak autoflowering seeds from attitude seed bank and was wondering how long it will take these plants to produce seeds since they have such a short flowering period? Im worried that my one plant that i pollinated wont have enough time to fully develop seeds i just pollinated it yesterday and it has three to four weeks left does anyone know if that is long enough?

i don't know for sure because i am growing my first autos but i have read up on this a lot. pretty much what i understand is that if you pollinate your auto during the 1 few days of bloom, you should have enough time to get fully developed seeds, but they won't be fully ready till right at the end of your plants growth cycle... i know a couple guys that wait an extra day or 2 to harvest from polinated ladies just to make sure the seeds are ready.

I've done a couple of autoflower seed runs. One month should be fine but if you can let it go longer it will be a lot better for the seeds. I have two seeded girls hanging up right now.

yeah i can let it go as long as i want i have that one separated from my other ladies they are just scheduled to be done in about a month and the male that i saved just started to drop pollen. how many seeds is reasonable for one plant that is about 14 inches tall and i pollinated all of.

i have done many diesel ryders they normally start to show sex in week three i normally wait an additional week to pollenate for pistil development

the auto seeds take the same as regular seeds 4 to 6 weeks to mature

if you have a plant that is dusted plant should not be harvested till 6 week period is up

there is nothing worst then to harvest plant before seeds are mature and you are pulling out green or white inmature seeds you will be a 2 time looser because the smoke is not going to be all that it can be because of seed production

that is why with regulars i dust and label one branch the rest of plant is fine- all it can be

with autos i start more then one- one for smoke all it can be one for seeds i dont care about smoke if ruint i once had to wait till week 11 smoke was shit plant started to die turned purple but seeds was fine

i had to wait to dust it pistils developed very slow was behind schedule

you must question your priorities in situation

good luck

I don't know how many I'll get from this one but from 3 puny plants last year I got about 450 seeds. Almost everything that I grew this year was from those seeds. These last two seed-bearing girls are the last of about 20 auto MTF's that I grew this year. It's not a real big deal about these seeds. If I plant these it will probably be a guerrilla grow when I check on them once a week and whatever makes it, fine and what doesn't fine. Honestly the smoke has been a disappointment. I had rather buy better seeds like AK48 and go from there.
