thanks guys

a friend of a friend came by going to fla a few months ago.he lives in calif.he grows medical.he gave my friend a handfull of seeds and said try them out.he said 60 days but i think he grows inside.all i know about seed.i mixxed soil up with what i had around the house.i m amazed every time i see them 40 days they are hawllin ass.never seen a plant grow this fast.ferts are slim.i went to lowes and bought bloombuster.have used 1/3 of strenth 2 times .they look pretty and green so i must be doing ok huh!an yes the soil drains very good.5 days ago i had to sit the plants in 5 gallon buckets.were in 1an 1/2 gal pots root bound to the t.could lift from pot and never loose 1 spec of soil.i didnt disturb roots at all.i filled 5 gallon bucket half full then set plants with out pots in buckets ---watered good and backfilled into 5 gallon bucket.was told never transplant but knew i needed to do something.seems to be jumping pretty good.

Oh yes, I'd say you're doing quite well!....I love to see autos go through their almost vicious explosion of growth....I keep a pic log just to study each one and after all these years of growing autos, I'm still stunned at just how quck ya can be enjoying the fruits of ya labor! Good growing....

 

[littleT]

i wish i had took a pic every 3 or 4 days during growth just to see how fast it did jump.hope to do that from now on.ill keep posting pics durning the next few weeks.

Looking good so far, congrats. Yes, you should be ready to harvest in 5-6 weeks. You'll know it's time when all the fan leaves have yellowed and died off and the bud leaves are yellowing. A pretty good flowering nutrient that you can get at Lowes is Better-Gro Orchid Bloom Booster. Feed it at a rate of 1/2 teaspoon per gallon of water at every feeding.

Also, moved your thread to the New Growers Forum.
