July 14th
The two red cups are the autos. The small one on the right is the onyx. That's as big as it ever got. It produced one small bud.

Here's some closer shots of each plant also taken July 14th - about 6 weeks in.

Now for the autoflowers
(I think they were started a week after the regular fems)

Auto Northern Lights
There is nothing auto about this NL. Planted first week of June, didn't flower until the regulars started, and it's still going strong coming into October.


Onyx
It never got any bigger than this. It produced one small bud and was done maybe mid-Aug



I'm starting to wish they had Easy Ryder in stock when I ordered.

I forgot...comments or questions are welcome.

Heres a happy little bunch. Looks like they are a bit yellow though.

Yeah, they were (and still are to an extent) yellow. I went a little too light on the nutes at first since I was scared to burn them. They got a bigger dose when I transplanted them. The Skunk is pretty normal on nutes but The Church and the Cole Train are hogs; can't seem to get enough. They're really happy right now! Thanks for the comment.

Sorry for abandoning this journal. Just didn't have time. Since this year's crop is getting started, I figured I should wrap this one up.

Here they are once they started to flower, taken on 30 August 2010.

The Church was ready first - 3 October
The Church definitely looked the prettiest; just covered in trichomes. Unfortunately, it was also covered in mites; had to clean them several times.



She produced about 0.75 ounce dried.

The Cole Train was ready next - 14 October
This one produced 1.25 ounces dried. I had to cram it to get it to fit in the mason jar.

The Skunk and the NL Auto were done next; around 17 October for Skunk and early November for NL.

Skunk produced 1.25 ounces dried. NL produced 0.75 ounces dried.

And here's the grand total - about 4 ounces dried - way more than I would ever need.
