Well done @Jay420herb and @lokinc 

My money was on @Timmah 

@Ill_Evan lol thanks bro, there was some stiff competition for sure!

Just started final week flush, some nice purple tones coming through 

So I dont have much, or any experience myself on the subject yet but im half way through my first autoflower grow and I had many of the same questions before I popped these seeds.

I can tell you so far these plants of mine are 12 weeks old now from seed and they still have some way to go before they are ready for harvest, however the breeder says 10 weeks from seed. (probably been about 6 weeks in flower)

Though ive seen some tiny autos that flower from like week 2 and end up done at week 10.

Personally when it comes to trichome maturity though, I think its more dependent on the strain and/or pheno you end up with than Auto vs Photo

I too am curious to know more though...

We're in week 12 now and flowers are starting to get nice and frosty!

Week 10: Looking happy 

@KushNewbie Hey man I appreciate it! I'm fully aware of whats out there though.

To be completely honest I needed something quick and im not really one to bother with the hassle of international shipping either 

cheers

Week 9

They were getting really bushy so did some light defoliation this morning

Lady in the back is flowering nicely

Are they getting same amount of water? The 2 in the front seems a bit droopy compared to the 2 in the back. Maybe they want more water? Hopefully one of the more experienced growers can clarify.

I still think the all look good man. 

Thanks man! I actually took those pics shortly before watering, but the leaves weren't really drooping. The problematic plant, bottom left was a bit, but its been like that since seed

I've seen some rosin presses locally going for like R15k, and that was for what looked like a very entry level, simple unit.

Really hoping someone comes up with some sort or rental model. If I could rent one for a day every couple of months I'd be stoked!

I suspect that it's more to manage the voltage or something - I'm no electrical engineer,  but I believe these rows are usually wired up in parallel and the red and purple led's might run at slightly different voltages

Either way, I think the spread will be fine since im covering a small area and hanging about 60cm above canopy in flower.

Ill also be getting another 1 or 2 engineering samples from a buddy who is experimenting with some of osrams new horticultural LED's. So that'll cover the other half of my tent nicely

So this grow has been underway for some time already but I've got all the baby photos so here's a recap.

Strain: White Widow (Auto)

Freedom Farms soil

200W LED

1.4x1.4m tent

About a two weeks from germination.

Two weeks later

Week 5 - Bottom left plant seems to be suffering from some sort of deficiency 

Week 6 - Plant bottom left still showing strange symptoms, believe its a genetic mutation or something at this stage

Back left still leading the pack since the start! She is the first to show some pistils!

Week 8 - all plants showing pre-flowers now, back left is moving fast into flower

As you can see, front left is still looking pretty strange, however she's almost as tall as the biggest one ...

lol thanks guys! Will see if I can post some pics later today

@PsyCLown as in Quantum Board style, though I only say that because I'm not sure how else to classify this type of LED array? It seems the community adopted "Quantum Board" to describe a PCB stacked with a large amount of LED's?

Anyways, here is a link to the light I'm using (https://jves.co.za/other-products/led-growlights/cree-led)

Perhaps a little pricey but it's produced locally and local is mos Lekker!  (Good build quality IMO too)

Edit: Apparently I can't spell quantum board...

Hey Everyone,

Another first time grower here!

Been following the forum for a couple of months so finally decided to introduce myself :)

From the Western Cape.

Some specs of my environment:

Indoor 1.4x1.4m tent

1x 200w QB style LED light (Only using half my grow space right now)

FF Soil with BioBizz nutes

Currently week 8 from seed with 4 White Widow Autos from Dutch Passion

Will post some pics soon!

Cheers
