LOL. I actually got that last weight out wrong. Weighed it again today and it was 206g before my final dry trim. Plus what I've smoked out of it already. That's roughly 7.5oz on 1 auto. 98 days from seed. Takes longer than most auto's by doing all this but trade off was great yields.

I seen your post earlier on in this thread asking about weight estimates.. so I quickly replied about a pound.. then as I read through this I was quite surprised.. did a great job for an experiment..

Burping and curing for 20 days after 5 day dry. Final dry trim was done on 4/20 and made 4 sticks of canna butter out of sugar leaf.

Smoke Report

Flower:
Smoked my first joint of this on 4/20. With zero flush this stuff smokes like a dream. Joints burn very even and smooth. 100% light grey ash. Strong fast sativa onset that makes you get lost in thought as soon as you start inhaling. Starts off very heady and behind your eyes then turns to the indica side of the hybrid about half way through and makes for a great nap. Taste is woody,earthy with a hint of sweet skunk. Taste like a mothball smells if you know what i mean lol. Very White Widow dominate auto.

Rosin/Dabs:
I don't press alot here in Colorado cause it's just to cheap and potent at the dispensary. Used a flat iron and pressed some 1 gram buds. Decent yield but not a great amount. This stuff is strong. I mean 1 hit done strong and I'm normally a 2-3 dab kinda guy. Awesome color and taste also.

Edibles/Canna butter:
Half oz sugar leaf/ Half oz of bud. 4 sticks of butter. Decarb in oven and did a 2 stage infusion. Sugar leaf first stage and bud second. Licked my fingers clean after squeezing cheesecloth with each stage and 30 min later it already was kicking my ass. Made a double batch of cookies and brownies. 2 sticks in each. Ate 1 brownie and 2 cookies on 4/20 before smoking any bud and I was high for 6-8 hours. Slightly trippy high. Very bright vivid colors. So heady we all joked on 4/20 that we can hear time lol. Some friends of mine that aren't pot heads tried 1 brownie each and both of them said they had hallucinations and loss of balance/Dizzy vision. Scared both of them alittle but they were fine.

OK, so I've been growing for a few years now and can say with confidence that I'm pretty experienced. I used to be a straight photo grower but the last 2 years I've been trying out auto's in a few of my tents for fun/knowledge. Over the years I've heard every rumor there is about autoflowering cannabis. Don't do this and don't do that BS. So I decided i was gonna do an experiment to test some of this stuff out. You always hear don't transplant,top,train/lst/mainline,defoliate etc etc. Basically from what i gather auto's just pop them in the ground and let them do there thing. Well I said fuck it I'm gonna do all that and see how she goes.

Strain: White Widow(Nirvana Auto)
Nutes: GH Flora Series,Cal Mag, Mammoth P
Pro Mix HP, 30% Coco, Extra Perlite, 3 Gallon(Ghetto smart pot lol)
Lights: (2) 300 watt Mars Hydro Reflector Series

So far I've transplanted,topped,light lst,heavy defoliate and use full strength nutes since her first 3 leaf set. Well here's my outcome so far.

Transplant: Yes, it slowed her down but didn't seem stunt her at all.
Topped: (3rd node) Again yes this did slow her down but topping has made her stack amazingly.
Light lst: Only did small tie downs till she started flower and removed them. Doesn't seem to have stunt her.
Heavy Defoliate: 1 week before flower and again at day 21 of flower. Working great so far.
Nutes: Full strength nutes hasn't bothered her at all. I did get a tiny burn last feeding but is very very minimal.

She's in week 3 of flower and I am going to keep updating this post all the way through curing and let you guys know my overall thoughts.

Took this out the safe to have a smoke and check the cure. Took some final pics. I already broke down the largest cola and thats the smaller stuff in 1st picture. You can see how much darker it has gotten. Great smoke. In the auto tent I have Walter White about to finish up and some HSO Sour D that has 2 weeks left. Replacing the Walter White will be a Kristal Fruity Kush by Stitch/Flash Seeds and soon after the Sour D gets replaced by an LSD-25 by Fastbuds.

You didn't use the mammoth p? Or you used it seperate

I've used Mammoth P for awhile. I was gifted a large bottle by a local hydro shop for review some years back. After using that bottle for a few grows I loved it. I do recommend it but it's expensive. Try a sample from them if your curious. Top notch service and staff. They send out a free 60 ml sample with a thank you/smokers pack.

When i'm strapped for cash and out of Mammoth my second fav beneficial is Photo P. Much cheaper but you use more. Both work great when your running different strains at the same time/same feed. Oh yea they changed the name because of some legal stuff I think. Photosynthesis plus is Plus C now I think??

So you just mixed the mammoth with your base nutes at every feed? Just curious since mammoth is organic

Yea I've used it with GH,AN and Megacrop with good results. Less is more with Mammoth, even tho it says up to 4ml per gal. I use 1.5ml/gal during veg and 2.5ml/gal in flower. Sometimes up to 3ml in late flower. Since it helps with uptake you can usually use less nutes also.
