(besides packing a bowl) My favorite time is about 1-3 weeks after a batch I have harvested has been curing. My second favorite time is harvesting and right after that is my beans popping. I have only grown Nirvana Auto Blue Mystic and Mephisto gear. Both of which I am hyper impressed with and the only reason I am not still with either one is just because it is fun to try new strains. So far these autobeanstalk.com beans from Hush Seeds and some Private Breeder are right there with them. All sprouts look super healthy and are sprouting quickly. It goes to show Autoflowers are the future and only way to go for a personal use home grow guy. More and more there are new breeders and seed banks and each one is producing quality gear. Autoflowers are easier to grow, they finish quicker, and the high is as good as any photo. ( I am ranting about the recent high times article blasting autos. )
