Dinafem Fruit; 1st auto grow

[Ganjaholickz]

Hi there,

my first attempt at auto flowers, first time growing in small tent. i wasn't growing for 12 years, only grew photos and only in the basement where I was using whole rooms, not just a little tent in the living room There are 2 Fruits in the tent (and 2 Jack47XL but they'll get their own thread). Original post can be found at GD.. (I know that they are almost curse word around here )
Veg was ok, they grew like crazy and outperformed Jacks, after the HPS switch temps trouble came, had to keep it like 65 cm above the canopy for 2 weeks. They were even in 34°C for 4 days... Then I switched to better exhaust and from like week 6 were at stable 25C...
Looks like two phenos, one looking more indica; second is so far building buds more sativa style, but it's not that much of a difference really
preflowers shown : Fruit 1 - day 17; Fruit 2 - day 16

setup : 250MH veg 250 HPS flower 60x60 DS60, 7,6L airpots
nutrients : Vitalink silica max; Jungle INDABOX A;B+M; Atami soil booster; Atami root juice

I thought that I will harvest Fruit 1 last saturday which would've been day 66 from seed, but the trichs are still not where I want them (they are like 5% amber;75 milkya and 25% clear), so I decided to give her another week, so she'll get down at day 70 ideally, but I think it will be more like 73... Fruit 2 will need aprox week more then 1, so next week it should get down .. at around day 80 ..
I will update this thread when its next photo time = wednesday..



as for the pictures .. number in brackets is the day from seed got above the substrate..

thanks a lot To be honest, Your grow was what I was checking for comparison through out my own grow session And when i was like hmmm they are not packing much etc .. I always checked Your thread here to check if You were thinking the same and how Your girl performed
I already checked one small bud for the test and it was already really tasty stuff, not the strongest one, but def lovely taste

Hi to all,
So as I promised, next photo session was today as well as watering .. So few more pictures. Amber trichs still not there yet (still need like 4-5% more), but Fruit1 will get down this saturday no matter what. 8% or 10 % aint that much of a difference ...
I will update pictures from the harvest and wet weight over the weekend ..
I already harvested one of the smaller lower buds, so last picture is that ..

thanks a lot Yeah, they already did fatten up nicely during that last ("extra") week. I dont want to have too much of amber trichs .. Otherwise I think that even that more ready Fruit(1) could go for 80 days and she would def pack like 10-15% more grams in weight, but then I probably wouldnt be able to get out of sofa still learning with autos, but with photos I remember that it was like .. still not there yet, still not there yet, still not there yet and then in three days they were able to go from 10% to 40% and that was like 20% more then I like... Im checking the trichs every day now so that cannot happen

If you can wait, give it a bit longer, by the looks of them, they can get bigger. However, I do know what you mean, it all depends on your prefer trichs.Last time, I wasn't patient enough as husband was running out of his stash! Yours look better than mine, neat as I didn't cut much of the leaves off. Anyway, nice plants and enjoy your fruit,lol
