Grow 11 - Walking in a Kushy Wonderland

Today is 104 for the Violet Kush.

So far, my experiment seems to be going pretty well. The light schedule is now 20/4 instead of 24/0, and she is gaining a lot of height and more and more hairs. I think i may have pushed this fauxauto into flowering by lowering the light time just a little.

This is some pretty cool information if it does indeed start flowering. That would mean that not all autos are equal lol. Some will auto with 24/0, but some need that darkness to make the switch. Or, was this because it is just plain and simply getting less light? If I had started it on 20/4, would it have autoed normally, or would I need to bring the light time down to signal it to flower?

Questions....lots of questions lol.

Have a great day everyone.

I had an auto outside last year, with some other photos. It did not flower until the photos started as well in August. It did finish in significantly less time than the photos though.

And @ anyone else that has experience with photos.

I feel like i may have misinterpreted what is happening with the Violet Kush Auto. I'm seeing single white hairs that I thought meant she was starting to flower. I just read an article in gwe that explains the preflower stage. I feel like this is where I'm at. Am I at the preflower stage, and does the preflower stage happen before you flip the lights?

Funny how I've been growing for 3 years and am still turning to gwe for questions. Never stop learning!

You will probably have to click on the photo and zoom in, but you can definitely see the hairs, not just the green parts that hold the hairs lol.

Photos can show sex before flowering begins, I have a plant outside right now that that has hairs like you do, and it is not in flower. But if your seed was auto genetics, the light change probably started flowering it. I have minimal experience with autos, and it’s all been outdoors.
 
Hey mcubed476, Yup, that is what my photo kinda looks like out in the greenhouse. Showing lots of pistils but not in flower yet. You might either have a photo on your hands or a latent auto waiting for a trigger to get her moving into flower. She is big like a photo from the pictures. Looks nice either way.
I have never had an auto not flower so unsure of the trigger procedure yet.
 
Both male and female photoperiod plants will show preflower after a couple months even with 24/0. Iv got two year old plants that are covered in pistils. It's a sign of sexual maturity.
 
My photos didn't have any white hairs showing until I flipped the lights. However, I only had my plants in veg for like 39 or 40 days before I flipped them. I was under the same assumption that when you see pistils that it's beginning to flower. I've also only grown photos once and it was my first grow so I'm probably too inexperienced to give a good answer. She is a beast though 💪, I love it
 
Thanks everyone. If she isn't flowering yet, she is going to get way too tall for my tent, assuming the flower stretch did not happen lol. Would you recommend super cropping all the main branches? Maybe not at the same time lol
 
SoOrbudgal - yes, I'm aware that you can go down to 18/6, but i still wanted the young ones in the tent to get as much light as possible. 18/6 will probably be the lowest I would go until the autos start flowering. By that time though, the violet kush would be way too big for my tent. Looks like I have some decisions to make lol
 
Yes i get it my photo/ auto combo grow autos spend last 14-18days at 12/12 do to needing to flip....no issues with there harvest FYI good luck you can pull this off she may just need to be a " house plant " part of the day LOL;)
 
Well, I have amazingly awesome news and bad news.

The amazingly awesome news is that my wife had our daughter on the 1st, and shes happy and healthy, and we are so in love with her.

The bad news is the violet kush dried up pretty good while we were at the hospital, and I decided to pull it. Not only because it had dried up quite a bit, but it just wouldn't have been possible to grow it in my tent due to the flower stretch. She would have grown up into the lights. I could have supercropped, but I feel like that wouldn't give room for the new ones that are planted. So, with much chagrin, the violet kush came down.

However, since we have a daughter now, I'm on cloud 9 and it just doesn't seem to be that big of a deal to me. I'll just have to put a different plant in its place.

So the total for this grow off 2 plants was 8.8oz. Certainly not my best numbers, but not bad for 2 plants.

A very unexpected wrap up to this journal, but as Jeff Goldbloom said, "Life finds a way"

Catch my current grow if ya want!

Have a great day everyone.
