First grow Starting to Bud!

[flytier]

Got home from work a little while ago and when I checked in on my girls, I found the beginnings of some flowers. This is a Revolver autoflower from Crop King Seeds. Does anyone have any experience with this strain? I'm curious as to how much longer I have to force my patience to stay on track.

@flytier you can find your strain online and read about flowering time:

(great website!!)

Yeah it is a very good website, for sure. I see many strains that I intend to try out. And the good part is that there's a store right here in town that sells CKS. Does that 7 weeks mean from seed or from beginning of bud? I'm a little hazy on that part. If it's from seed, it would mean that I should only have to wait a couple more weeks, and that seems like a fairly short time.

7 weeks means from when plants first show signs of pistils emerging... I just keep track of when I switch to 12/12 light, and, of course, of trichome appearance.

flytier Hey, I bought a 5 pack of Revolver from CKS and all 5 grew. 7 weeks is from flowering - didn't see much info on your grow, so I'm guessing you have your lights on at least 20/4. I found that strain likes the heat - my tent is around 80 -90 Fahrenheit - humidity is up there too, 60% average. Super easy to grow.

Ok thanks Canuck. Here's a picture of my grow room. It's the alcove where the fridge used to be. I have a combination CFL/LED lighting setup with a fan inside and a heater outside pointed at the cover. The temp is well up there as well; don't know what it is, but it's pretty warm. Humidity is added with a pot of water evaporating in there. Light is in fact 20 hours. I only had 2 pop up because I used high-iron well water to germinate and enriched potting soil to start them off.. Did the same with some White Widows and only have 2 of those too. I did, however, put my next WWs in bottled water and today I got 3 planted into less enriched soil. The other 2 are still growing their taproots so things are going better for these girls.

Looks very good!!

[flytier]

Yeah, not bad I guess. I have yet to get a vent hole put in, but I think I have it figured, Just to the right of it are some shelves and I'm going to put a 3" flex line into the bottom space, with a full loop to prevent light from getting in. I may rig it so the fan is next to it on the inside and the space heater is next to it on the outside. Good heat and circulation.

I did have one plant try a sativa impersonation by growing to 3.5 feet and having foxtails for buds. The other 4 averaged 2 feet tall

[flytier]

A metre tall, eh? I have mine LST'd to about 6" tall and a foot around so far. I'm going to let it grow up from there now that it's flowering so as not to fuck it up any more than necessary. It already got accidentally topped at an early stage so I'm just hoping for the best now. But having said that, it does have 10 or so growing stems.

On top of that, I recently started to LST my White Widow seedlings, and I just got 4 out of 5 more WW seeds germinated and put into pots. 1 more to go in soil and it seems to be looking good. First group to do good; I used bottled water on them rather than our crappy well water like I used on all the rest. I think I'm off to the races from here.
