Lovely plant. Pain in the arse! Had to force flower them. They are semi auto (auto seeds). Taste is to die for and they are resin buckets. Out of 3 plants there was only one that pulled a decent yield, harvested that last night about 27oz wet. The other 2 have a couple of dry oz each.

I would suggest you think about getting a cob to add to your lights. Read a couple of the threads under the Cobshop.net section and see what you reckon. Mine's only just built so I haven't got anything under it yet. I'm no expert by any means, but my last grow was slow and it was highly likely to have been due to the lack of light. Some of the Chinese stuff highly over-estimates the amount of light they put out and if they were cheapo lights that may be the case.
They look healthy though, really lush!

Yes I have looked into making a cob led. Don't have the time right now. In the mean time I have ordered a 1200 watt king plus led. Should be good for now until I wanna make my own! Thanks ! Do u have specs on heat sink and ballast used ronmake your cob light ?

Thanks for the response ! You don't think it's too late for bloom food ? They already past day 50 plants are disposed to only take like 80 days and should be flushing last two weeks doesn't seem like much time left for feeding bloom bites let me know if I'm wrong. !

They were from auto seeds. They recommend 12 -14hr days. I only grew one before I had a photo plant flowering and had some space. Now it's my wife's favourite strain. It's just awkward to work it into rotation.
Haha cool mine are under 20/4 light period they seem to be doing fine lil slow but look good. I keep seeing ppl talk about growing them longer then seed bank tells you to. How does this work I thought a AutoFlower was done growing when it's done growing. I can't just keep flowering till I feel it's done right ?

There are a few builds under DIY LED lighting which detail the specs that people have gone for, there are a few choices. Meanwell drivers and pin heatsinks for the most part, CLU048 1212 3500k 80 CRI is the cob spec. A fair few people have built frames too to mount them on!
No point commenting on my own yet as I can't tell you how it's going to perform lol. Have a look for ones which are already up and running.

You can harvest when the seed bank says to, that is the earliest time you can harvest,but if you leave them longer they get bigger. Have a read of muddys sticky about it. You are in soil, so the plants will tell you when they are done. You want to wait till the leaves low down start to yellow, the pistils are more than 75%orange/brown and the trics are starting to turn Amber (you'll need to buy a decent magnification device).
