Not bad and i am sure that she was well taken care of!
And uptosumpn.....i think we need to see some pics of that 3-4 ouncer you grew
Just a little proof of the power of autos......and if i remember correctly didnt you get 6 oz from 7 plants last time?

Thank you sir and welcome to the party, glad to hear that you havent given up on autos all together. They can be a fickle plant to grow sometimes but with the proper treatment they yield nice.

I saw earlier in this thread crazytrain is growing la diva auto seeds.
I am growing 2 of these in a hydro setup with 250w cfl(blue) switching to 250w cfl(red) when flowering. I am doing 2 hour lighting and using sensi seeds to feed. Its only a small setup.
What can I expect for a yield of these? They are only a week old from sprouting but they are flying!!

Glad to have you aboard, i have a few guides to help you turn the strain of your choice into an auto.
i can tell you this if you spend 5 years doing it, your taking to long. Thats the beauty of an auto the breeding time is cut to a minimal. Sure it takes time to grow out the photo plant you want to cross into auto, but once you get it ready the auto rotation comes quick.
By the end of the breeding project i will have ran 4 full runs between the months of March and Oct. Thats typically twice the amount of the average grower. Mind you some have the ability to have multiple rooms to assist in a constant rotation for photo girls.
IF you have your stuff together and ready to breed your fav strain of choice to auto you could have it auto by the end of the first full season and then stable half way to 3/4 of the way through the next. So roughly 1.5-2 years unless you can grow year round.
One thing to note, and this is what i am thinking has happened to the seeds that were being sold at Nirvana. It takes to f3 alone to get the auto trait in the + side ratio of your seeds. The auto trait will be 100% stable around f6/f7.
However if you breed auto to auto or cross auto to auto the seeds WILL be 100% autoflower due to the fact that the genetic trait is 100% on both sides.

This is hard to tell, it all depends on your environment, soil, pot size, actual light saturation, and ferts as well as tons of other things. All i can say is that if you treat them well, they will reward you.
3 things i would suggest you get on lock. 1. Get your pH right, im anal about this and my friends will tell you that lol. You have no idea how important this is to the survival of your plant.
2. Make sure you have light soil, the roots like to grow and grow fast. Lots of perlite.
3. if you want a big yield on your first attempts start them where they are gonna finish, these guys dont like to be moved around. Get you a nice 2-3 gal pot and germ the seed where its gonna finish, i promise you you'll love the results.
Good luck and get that journal up so we can help....

I will have to dig up the photos of that beast< I recently did a mass deletion on my computer...had to many of those MJ PICS taken up my hard drive and the misses was in my ear everyday about the space...and yes, I got 6oz dry from 7 plants.....Sour60, Mi5 and Auto Assassin< all smelled & smoke great too! I gave some to a couple of "high tolerence" assoc. and trust me they had no idea that they were from an autoflowering plant!!!! and they feel the same way that dude [who got his 4oz from his blueberry photo period plant] does about em'! Moral to this story boyz & girlz...dont fucking knock em' till ya tried/grow em'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!And uptosumpn.....i think we need to see some pics of that 3-4 ouncer you grew
and if i remember correctly didnt you get 6 oz from 7 plants last time?
Hate people who think like that still! DAMM BRO, have you even grew one....yes, some of them yield wayy less than those "take forever strains" BUT I BET YOU COULD NEVER TELL THE DIFF. BY LOOKING OR SMOKING IT....TRY SOME OF MY SOURJEM OR ANY OF THE TOP AUTO STRAINS AND YOU'LL BE A BELIEVER!!!

Thought id stop in while i am on vacation. Ill be in and out for the next week. So i havent left guys just on a vacation with limited access.
Thanks for the updates on the pics upto. Looks like we made our point on that one. Thats the nice thing that i like about having you guys around. Not only have my pics changed the minds of others but those help too. Like our friend said, we are the future of these, but its up to us to live up to that.
