I used 3 gallon fabric pots. They were Sativa hybrids

Another putrid weather day here, The little Divyders f 2s cannot go and play outdoors.
The insufficient lights are making the plants more spindly than I think they would be if I could provide
more direct sunlight. Oh well…looks like today and tomorrow of indoor only.

I finally have a high of 60 today. Honestly, I’ve been putting all of my pretty established plants outside of the greenhouse for some hours if I have sunshine regardless of temp. It somehow seems warmer in the direct sun. So far they are all okay… I’ve been hardening everything off for planting, but I think we still have some rain coming and I kind of worry about that more if I plant the little guys outside.
Autos were really interesting. Well, the one’s I grew outside last year. I swear they seemed to go so slow, but once they took off they really took off and fast.

My precocious little Divyder F2 girl today.
She is now 18 1/2 inches tall from top of soil line to tip of plant top.

Here they are today.
Unfortunately, they have been spending too much time indoors with
only paltry light.

They are missing sunlight and warm temperatures (as all of us in the northern hemysphere 
). I hope spring will come soon and they will have a happy flowering stage. Will keep an eye, thanks for sharing …

Update today.
It has been 40 days from seed for the taller girl… which is 19 inches.
Roughly 35 days for the shorter… she’s 15 inches.
They are very light feeders, they take about 1/2 of what I give to most photo plants.
I am still trying to achieve equilibrium.

Are those @ReikoX autos? My auto from him seems to be a very light feeder too. It’s in flower and they are still on seedling strength

Those are Divyder F2s, but most autos in general are lighter feeders.

An overdue update of my fascinating pygmy plants.
Two radically different genotypes. The tall spindly plant has miniature buds.
I prefer the shorter, thicker plant which is apx. 5 or 6 days younger than it’s
sister.
Really curious to see how they smoke…they both smell enticingly sweet

They are a cute little side project. I suspect the F2 generation will have many genotypes, I also prefer the shorter ones.

They really filled in. I can’t believe how quickly they progressed.
60° would be a dream for us up north here, I’ve been loving anything over freezing these last couple weeks!

Yea I am not a big fan of winter. That is why I moved to SoFla some time ago.
I have been suffering here in South Carolina, waiting for the end of winter.
Last frost date (SC) was yesterday. And I should be back in Florida by the end of June.

Well, I harvested the older of the two autos last night. The taller more lanky girl was about 68 days from seed, and most of the stigmas had withered and receded. So a time to kill.
The little fatter plant is younger and should live ‘till late next week.
She has to stay indoors today. Nasty rainy day here.

They are fun little plants aren’t they? I enjoy autos quite a bit. Quick and easy.

I am woefully inept at keeping a grow diary.
I forgot all about this thread, which I created for my first attempt at
auto flowering cannabis.
I have to admit that I had never considered the possibility of ever growing them myself.
Being skeptical of their smoking quality, I could not conceive of any reason for me to give them a go.
But, then along came the reanimated OG, and I found myself becoming interested in
this type of cannabis. This was largely due to two members and their intriguing threads featuring autos.
So I was generously gifted some Divyder f2s, created by @Scissor-Hanz from seeds supplied to him by @ReikoX
So, I wanted to update this dusty thread with my conclusions/impressions regarding my limited experience with autos.
Easy to grow, once I realized that they do not require as much fertilizer as most photos …they did fine at about ½ of what I typically feed.
They were fun ‘cause they simply seemed like dainty, tiny versions of photo plants …and then they just started flowering. I had two very different phenos.
They were both harvested in less than 70 days, from seed popping to ripe flowers, very cool.
And having somewhat lower expectations about the quality of the smoke, I was quite pleasantly surprised at the tasty and effective flowers,
Good solid medium potency, the true equal of a medium strength photo. The taller more spindly plant did not taste as good as the shorter plant when initially testing them.
I just finished my last jar the other day, and after some cure time in the jar the less tasty flowers became much more yummy. Really nice flavor from both, smoke is smooth and silky with a very nice generic “good weed” taste with a touch of sweetness …rich tasting goodness.
Real nice balanced buzz which lasts longer than many photos.
So I am looking forward to growing out a bunch more of these for my next indoor grow.
Overall I would recommend autos for new growers who are befuddled by light cycles and wicked stretch etc.

Hi, here’s a grateful new grower, appreciate your detailed report. Hope someone makes a full grow diary on how to deal with Autos, now that they are more popular, still much to learn …
