I have to say I am pretty disappointed with the results so far. It seems that the shock to going outside all the time has made them halt their growth. They are all producing buds but they are all tiny.

Amnesia: This was the strongest looking plant before it went into the large pot and then outside 24-7. Now it is in third.

60 day wonder: This one was neck and neck with the Amnesia but it has fallen to second in size.

Auto Cheese Candy: Not the strongest inside but it is the biggest producer so far since it hit the sunshine.

Berry Ryder: This has been a total train wreck. It is about 10" tall but it does have some dense buds on it.

All in all the seeds were a bonus to the real order of Sensi Star so I will be happy with whatever I get. I doubt I will ever pay for autoflower seeds any time soon. They seem to be about five years away from being really good and productive. Next week will be the 60 day mark so I will start checking the tri's then.
well i can name 3 things that need changing pot size
your plants are growing slow for 2 reasons overwatering and lack of drainage i run 50/50 perlite and soil my amnesia is in a 1lb folgers can plastic one 2013-04-19 20.47.45.jpg

I'm having even less luck with my autos than you. Cream of the Crop KO's.....they grow to about 2" and just sit there. They don't look un-healthy or anything...but they haven't grown in a month. I too am very disappointed in Autos. I germed my last three seeds and am not very hopeful of these doing anything different the the others.

let the soil dry out a bit
and maybe there taking there time it happens sometimes if there nute locked they should of shown color in a month of no growth
over watering just curls the tips down but stops growth to almost a stand still so do low temps

try this next time use a jiffy pellet just put it in your final pot dig a hole stick it in plant your seed and be amazed
alot of soils are to rich in nutes to start auto's with out stunting them

i usually use the soil from my last grow just a hand full and plant the seed in that by the time the roots grow out of the nute less/flushed soil they can handle the nutes in the soil

Thanks for the advice. Some of it I already knew but due to the family visit I could not plant them in the final pots until my family hit the bricks. For soil I am using some organic from HD, about 25% perlite, and some Black Cow mixed in. I thought if I went with more perlite I would have to water them twice a day. It gets pretty hot here and the soil dries up pretty quickly, almost to dust. I also have 2" of river rocks in the bottom of each pot to help with drainage. I still have a ton of autos from the Attitude B-day so I will not give up just yet but I was expecting taller plants. As far as moving them outside I tried to condition them by placing them outside for a few hours of indirect sunlight for a week. For the most part they handled it but the Amnesia looks like I torched it.

thank you :)
i added some leds and a scrog
think my amnesia is diggin it2013-05-11 17.04.02.jpg2013-05-13 19.04.19.jpg left amnesia right is a HBD with a crazy almost electric blue pheno got lucky
amnesia has 30 + bud sites stickin through hoping for a few more
and just put a 2 " layer of just soil on top and it will keep some moisture in but be sure to keep a space of low nute soil for the seedling to grow through safely with out burning
easier for me to add nutes just a lil in every water then it is to cope with over fertilized soil some burns dont show just slow the growth

p.s. the HBD doesnt look happy in this pic posted the wrong one it is alot happier now that it has reached through the scrog then it was at first ;) ok put up the right pic had to brush baby girl's hair and take another pic

So I harvested all but the 60 Day wonder. I had a worm problem in my tomatoes and found one in my Amnesia plant. The plants had not changed size or thickness in the past week so I figured they had reached the end of their life. Tri's were mostly clear, some cloudy, and even fewer amber.

This is the reason the Berry Ryder was such a runt...

The root was basically tied in a knot and it choked itself as it grew. I guess it had an issue with the jiffy pot netting.

Cheese Candy trimmed up...

Not bad but still not good.

The rest of the images were not good enough for posting. I will have more of the yield later.

Although your berry ryder was a runt, I'd still like, if you can, for you to post pictures of any buds that did come from it to get an idea of what i'm looking at. I am on my first BR grow as we speak. Thread is up in this sub-forum, please feel free to comment!

Thanks!

Once it all cured the Cheese Candy looked terrible and had a bad taste. The smell was like hay unless you broke open a bud and then it smelled pretty good. Effects lasted about 45 min to an hour. The Berry Ryder had a few descent buds on it but when it dried they shrank about 75%. The buds smelled good but just normal. The real star was the Amnesia. Great smell, taste, and it had a strong effect. A one hitter would keep me happy for two solid hours.

I am sure you two will have better results than I did. I was over excited to get some plants going and I started before I should have. I was also using natural sunlight so an indoor setup will be much better.

The first picture has the Berry Ryder bud to the left of the jar. Second picture is the top of the Amnesia. Third picture is total from the 4. Not bad but not good.
