Hey Stinky,

Have You taken any of those strains to harvest? If so, can you provide any feedback about seed to harvest time and your favorite smoke.

My assumption about autos??????

Great for potheads that don't have the facilities (space) to maintain a dark cycle?

Also, can buds be kept for a couple of months without turning brown------I've never had any around that long

Begin ramble:

Got some critical kush from attitude with some free beans, of which one was an auto (didn't realize it).

Any way, took cuttings before 12/12 flip (yea, cloned an auto) it rooted and grew like nothing I'd ever seen before---a single stalk
of flowers about 12" tall.

End of ramble,

Out of all the seeds I've bought over the years the Kosher Kush was the best tasting but not a huge producer and a bitch to clone. I bought Kandy Kush a number of times and it's always great. Kandy Kush is also a big producer and quick to trim. I've bought Blue Cheese twice. The first pheno was one of the best I've ever grown while the other pheno sucked.

My buds don't usually last very long either. Sometimes during the slow season I may have bud in jars for a couple of months, most likely the popcorn buds that no one wants. I'll usually find a patient with no money and give them my popcorn just so I don't have to keep it around forever. It smokes just as good as the eye-candy but looks more like popcorn rolled in sugar.

I find that a month cure is perfect and makes a huge difference in the smoothness of the smoke. Your buds shouldn't turn brown if they are stored properly. Air tight glass jars in a cool dark place is the way to go.

I got a free Auto from Attitude and I still feel like I got ripped off! It was some kind of Blueberry/Auto mix and came out like shit. Super stretchy and crap smoke. The only free seed I ever got that was worth growing was Green Love Potion. It actually came out as good as anything else in the batch. It was completely covered in crystals and turned a bright red/orange towards the end.

My new "A" (no name) produced a couple of male flowers early in it's flower cycle. It isn't a full on hermie so I let it go. After the first couple of male flowers it went back into the closet and went straight. This pheno was amazing! I ended up with about 15 little, tiny seeds. I also found a seed on the new "B" or Sugar Pops as we now call it. Anyone want some seeds? haha just fucking with you...

So that's not an auto?????

Autos was what I was asking your opinion on.

Side note:

FYI just in case you're interested. Youtube video about how this guy made a water tight seal for the 5" fence post without glueing the end caps. (I thought it was very clever). Did a search aeroponics marijuana (i think).

I agree DMC, I am looking at the system in the link below, I would just get 2 of them of course. Do you have any tit without disrupting the othersoughts on which DWC system? From what I can tell, as anything else in life, the more you spend the better product you get, funny how that is.

Yes on the flushing, I do the best I can.

Ran dwc for years to me best way think of this you want to run multiple strains each strain eats differ, problems arise , you can take that one plant and work on It without disrupting the others in grow or flowering, but if you running uniform strain any water culture will work

I'm about to convert my 3 pot system into a 4 pot RDWC with the control resivor outside of the tent.

But your setup sounds like it's clocked in, are you bored with it? Lots of busy work with DWC.

I'm also about to get the same tent you have -- I'm in a 3x4x6 right now and I've got a handful of auto seeds on their way.

No not really, been doing organic for about a year they say thats the way to go so I gave it a go, to some maybe , the water is cleaner , can handle prob.if arise, grow to me is about the same, but did notice what dont do good in water do good in soil water may be a little faster but it all depends on the person growing it . Its not a lot of work if you enjoy what you do and have all in order, change out once a week, just dial your feeding in , always use cal-mag , lights, ph, mucho air flo thats it sit back and watch them dance lol. I really enjoy the dwc .

No tent no tent dont like them built my own room,,5.5 x 15 took one whole side of room have a 4x4 and a 3x4 soil beds, then have 4 dwc buckets ,2 1000hps, can filter , 1 high velocity fan thats it

Going 8 5gal. Buckets after this run in soil, 4 under ea. 1000, maybe even drop to 600hps

"Let's try this again. Wet weight is not a "zip". If you put your wet buds in a zip then you're going to end up with zip of goo in a couple of weeks! lol What is your dry weight harvest per plant?"

LOL Just picking myself up off the floor . I was thinking, I need to get to know this guy with his miracle plants. Most I've gotten from a auto was 110g ("dry weight) lol" and it sucked, they've all sucked so far, auto's I mean.

What are you trying to achieve is the better question here OP? What's your goal? You can't design a system without a goal.
