If I remember correctly, I think this is my 4th update since my auto plants germinated back on May 16th.
It is crazy how much growth they can pack on in 7 to 10 days, since the last post/update I made here.
The Mango Smile is now in full on flowering, same with the Creme de la Chem...I've been starting to see the first trichomes develop on those plants as of the past 2 to 3 days. My two "Strawberry Mango Crumble" plants aren't too far behind.
It has been interesting seeing these plants go through their different growth stages so rapidly and leap into flowering (this is my first time ever growing autos)...It seems that with autos there is more "overlap" between the veg & stretch & flowering stages, where with photos it seems like the plants slow down on veg growth dramatically as soon as the plants have started to develop flowers.
My Mangosmile is already bigger than some of the clone plants I harvested at the end of last summer...Crazy how much it has grown in just a month.
It has a great essence/aroma...Sweet pine, a bit "hazey", along with some fruity/mango notes, and the trichomes have just barely started to develop. No real distinct aroma from the SMC or the CDLC yet.
I was going to let all of my autos grow into their natural form/structure, but last week I decided to bend down some of the lower branches on the Mango Smile just to open up the structure of the plant a lil bit more. The MS seems to naturally have a really nice "open" structure though with big spacing between nodes.
I've got some clones and seedlings of regular photo-period plants going, I might enter a couple of those into the comp sometime soon.

by adding the Original Fire OG Kush CLONE plant... Just to see which one does better in the end of the 3 
She may also be the only contender that could have been dried and smoked when planted
