Thanks man, Barney's Farm. These girls get huge! Not so sure if it's because of the 3.9-gal Auto Pots they are in or genetics, I might run her again

Probably a little of both.
Just checked on the drying buds and they are getting a grassy smell, also the have already shrank a good bit
Kinda disappointing isn't it. Watching them shrink and get that hay smell is only a short time. Once you bag them that smell will develop more.
Pretty

What was the weight on that photoperiod?
I don't know yet, I didn't take a wet weight and she's still drying
It is but im just trusting the process lol
Is it possible for it to be done drying already? The buds feel firm a little crispy to the touch and have a nice squish to them
Sounds nice. I hang till crispy on the outside like you said. I cut them down into large to popcorn size and put them in a paper grocery bad. I leave them in the same environment they were hanging in with the bag top folded over.
Doing that slows the drying a little. Twice a day I give the bags a nice toss and fold them back up. Takes about 3-5 days to get them right for storage bags or jars.
Well the results are in...2.7 ounces of dry flower. Not quite as much as I was hoping for but all things considered I suppose it's not too bad.
Buds are pretty light and fluffy but sticky as hell. I'm about to give her a sample will update later on that.
To everyone that's followed this grow I appreciate you, I've learned a lot from you guys n gals and this plant and can't wait to do it better next round. The Critical Kush I have going is gonna be trained much differently and given longer time in veg.

Should I go up to 150-200w light to get more dense of buds? What can I do to improve from this. She looked so beautiful growing...
An even canopy is a must but did she not get enough light?

They look great but I expected more as well. It can be disappointing but ya know it will get better.
Training and a floater will help. It has elevated my yields and I'm sure it will yours too. Max light on a flat canopy is the way to go. Just weighed up my Tangie. Still a lil damp in the bag but she's weighing 9.8oz. prob loose a oz once fully dried but I'm pleased.
To evaluate your grow light go with 30-35w per square foot. Not hard to do at all in a smaller space.
2x2=4sqft let's say ya throw a 150w in there.
150÷4=37.5wpsqft
More than enough for good solid bud. But that's just half the issue. If ya don't have max exposure to the canopy the larf will build up below because the light can't reach that deep. LED intensity falls off fast. Making training and screens a must if you want more bud and better control of your plants.
Ya did great but you know you can do better. Lots of buds in your future my man...lots!

Yes I think the #1 goal this next plant is making an even canopy no 1 or 3 main colas.
I could also have trimmed back this plant to get rid of the larf and let light hit all the bud sights like you mentioned, I was very reserved with the trimming.
Thanks for the tip on the light. I think I'll start looking for 150w light for flowering I knew I should have just bought one a month ago when I bought another 100w light.
Definitely learned some things especially with all the help from you and everyone else on here
Be on the look out for a screen. 2"x3" spaced fencing wire. Ya don't need much in a 2x2. A 20x21 is what I'm using on all of mine. I bought a large roll at Lowe's and it's half gone..lol. Love the stuff though. Easy to cut and shape. Solid enough to hold the plants.
Ive got an auto in a 2x2 space. I'll have a screen on her when she gets bigger. Running a single plant in there to see if I can fill it up. It would be easy with a photo fem. Ya just never really know how big an auto will get. With the limited height I have no option but to run the screen.
Well, actually it is a 2x3 space I'm growing the auto in. I think I can fill it up. We shall see..lol
I have something I'm gonna use I'm just gonna cut some bars out of it, I'll give it ago. I also have a net screen but I'll try the floating screen

Does she smell gassy? I am running 5 sour diesel autos by Barneys in Autopots. The gas is why I picked it.

Hey growmies, I'm reading over this thread and I have a few questions I would like to ask. I'm running 6 autos that are 65-70 days from seed to harvest. I am currently at day 58 from Aug 5th. One started flowering early at day 48 or 50 the other 4 last week. I'm running Gaia Green Powerbloom 2-8-4 with plain water PHd at 5.9 I top feed every 5th of the month. Would you suggest another top feed or just let them run without? BTW, I highly doubt they will be done in 70. Thanks for listening.
Those buds look great bro.
When I see buds so tight you can't squeeze them, it tells me someone is using PGRs,,, which are not good for your lungs.
You see that **** all the time in dispensary's because they want pretty buds and don't give a **** how they get them.
