I had my doubts about autos when I first started but I'm liking this short turnaround time and the yield is pretty impressive so far.
The Onyx are the fastest producer so far. All three are showing fat thick colas with minimal stretch.
The White Dwarfs are in second place right now. There is more spacing between nodes and the plants are much airier.
The Big Devis are the slowest by far in bud production. They did not start flowering for a full week after the other two strains. These plants are the largest of the three, including the two I abused by topping. From the looks of them now, they look like I could get a couple ounces per plant. We'll see.
The plants in the 5 gal bucket are much bigger and fuller than the plants in the 3 gal buckets. One Onyx in a 3 gal bucket is only about 18 inches tall and the whole plant is a bud.the photos are comparing the two. Onyx. Also on the shorter Onyx, I lst'd her for a week, so that migh have stunted her some.
What I'm really finding interesting in the autos is their phenos are manifesting themselves so differently. One of the WD is indica bushy and the other WD is shows sativa dominance. All three strains show both indica and sativa traits in their leaves with many indica type and sativa type leaves on the same plant.
On a side note..Being a sativa lover, does anybody have any sativa dominant AF that they have grown and would recommend?
