When you say ripening process do you mean boosting P/K? There are many discussions to be found about this regarding using boosters and if they actually work, so the final decision rests with you.

At the moment your plants look happy and healthy, good luck with whatever you choose and I hope they give you a good yield!!

im debating on doing at DWC or aeroponic with a bin. DWC would probably be easier im just afraid the tupperware containers i got cant hold enough water. i need to get another container maybe.

I mean to use Ripen from GH, but i found out this is used only if plant wont finish or just to push plants to ripe at same time...
For booster im using GH Biobloom. Ripen is not a booster but ripeing proces activator...
I think i will go with water only for last week.

Hello 'greensea'..Everything looks really great here, Awesome to be honest...You should be very proud of what you got going on here, whether its your first grow, second grow or youve been doing this for a long time....they look great, they look healthy and most impotant they look very very happy!....congrats on killing it....as i stated before, im unsure if this is your first time, maybe its your first time that youve decided to go with autoflower....If so, I bet your happy with the choice you've made...Its funny how much negativity is shed upon all autoflowering strains by people who for the most part have not even tried them or even read about or messed with them...its sad and notonly that but it sheds negative light on autos and makes people who would have otherwise tried them not even fuck with them...But!....either way they look aewesome and I have one or two questions for you friend G.S.....First question...What breeder did you use to grow out this pretty strain?...it looks like a very good strain that maybe i wouldnt mind trying out for my autos this coming summer/fall...but anyways...you also said your maybe trying some boosters to kick it in to flowering? If you want my opinion on the matter, while I am by no means an expert, I just want to say if I were you personally, I wouldnt change anything that ive been doing...those plants look like they are literally loving whatever your giving them, which means that thye are most likley more than happy with what they are getting and you really dont need to change a thing, again this is just my opinion, maybe if you gave them a ''booster'' or more P/K or whatever they might respond well and fatten up or do even better...but, as someone else said, the fianl decision rests with you, I am just trying to give you my opinion on the matter and either eay, i want to say, they look awesome and your doing a really great job...if you remember what breeder you got these from and could let mek now that would be super awesome, you could either post it here or even private message me if that would be easier for you, either way, have a good one bro they look awesome

As you yourself noticed, this is not my 1st grow, my first grow was on last summer RDWC, got super healtly plants but becouse of my noobnes i have low harves.
I do a mistake on SCOGR and fucked up a bit other things, plus i had very poor conditions, it was 80%-90% rh and 27c-32c all the time but is normal for 1st try to have some issue i think :D
I like to experiment, so i decided to go with autos this try, i also tryed some autos in soil. I do soil for the 1st time, and had some problems.
Im very happy with these 4 ladies i have nowin DWC, are the first in such a way as to be.
In regards of negativity on autos, I can understand why people do not like it. They work differently and ppl need only to learn how, once you learn how to cope with them, they are great.



Got GH 3 part flora series and As booster im using... http://gb.eurohydro.com/bio_bloom.html ...got bio roots, bio bloom, bio protect.

Excellent, Beautiful Plants!

Personally I'd give them some more time to fatten up. (They WILL)
You'll get most of your weight right at the end of the grow.
Hit em with the finish when Half the plants have fattened up, and you should be able to harvest it all pretty close.

Killer Grow!

Peace.

I need to ask u somethink :D




How much time would you have left, according to the pictures? all main colas are growing and being reared like crazy that last 1 week...
Breeder say that one it is ready in 9 to 10 weeks, I know it usually takes more time, but it seems to me that more than two weeks, would be too much... or no??
Today the leaves are starting to turn yellow, i think the natural ripening process started. So i rly dont know how much time i need leave to fatten at this point :D
I wanna try "Ripen" from GHE this grow :
ripen.jpghttp://gb.eurohydro.com/ripen.html

This should be used 1-2 weeks before harvest, so i need to know aprox harves time and apply this at the right schedule :D
For the last two days of flushing i will use florakleen --> http://gb.eurohydro.com/florakleen.html
Anyway i will update with new photo soon, so you can judge how many time more aprox :D

"Use Ripen to accelerate the maturing process of your plants, especially in times of trouble like cold weather, insect or disease attacks, and to increase their content in active principles."

Sounds a bit like snake oil to me! I've never personally used this product so you could find someone that has, but your plants are looking healthy so why bother? If they are getting the correct nutrients from what you're giving them now then you shouldn't have any problems.

The same goes for florakleen, what's wrong with just water for flushing?

It's very easy to get drawn into these 'magical potions' sold to us by nutrient companies that just want our money!

As for when will they finish there are many good articles on this forum about when to harvest, in the harvest and curing sections. You can't just rely on what the breeders say as these are just guidelines. ;-)

After a bit of research i think u have 100% right...
Only think is why i wanna use this is to get them finish at the same time cos they are in same bucket, but currently does not ripen evenly, I want to provide them with a little help, so they will finish simultaneously...
Im still learning alot and I'm a very curious person, so I'll probably use it and see what happens, I'll take that as further experience... But for my next grow I will do everything in my power to make it as naturally and simple as possible, and i will try to avoid unnecessary stuff like this :D

Let's surprise and see what will come out of it...

The problem with them being in the same bucket is that when you add the ripen they will both finish sooner, which doesn't solve your problem as you'll still get one finish before the other.

You can always chop one and leave the other one for another week or so to finish it off, it will benefit from the extra light too once the other plant is removed?

I always grow from seed and the plants never finish all at the same time equally, so I harvest when they are ready individually rather than chopping them all down at the same time.

It's all about learning and we are all learning new things all of the time, you have some nice looking smoke there and I hope it smokes as good as it looks!! :-P

Nice plants you got there. I got beans from RQ last year and got 2 started back on the 1st of Feb. Royal Critical and a Royal Haze. The Critical looks to be a bit ahead in growth. Hope they turn out to be nice and frosty.
