autofems

just a quick howdy from michigan, and a quick question, i recently sprouted 2 auto flower feminized seeds of the bubbleicious variety heheh, my question is, i have two weeks left till harvest, and one of them has had a cpl of yellow flower shoots start, which i picked off immediatly upon discovery does this happen often with auto fems, of did i possibly get a freak anomoly? theres three plants in a 9x7 room in 10 gal dirt pots 1 auto fem northern lights and the two auto fem bubbles. the bubble that is showing flower was cropped early in life and the other was not. ( auto nrthnlites was cropped early as well with no signs of pollen production) any help would be greatly appreciated and happy smoking!
they started life under 6 t12 flourescent tubes for the first two weeks 24/7, then two weeks of HID MH @ 18/6, then they started to autoflower, so i popped em under HID HPS @ 12/12 the MH and HPS are both 1000W magnetic ballasts, switchable. just the one auto fem bubble has shown any signs of flower, which ive plucked off and with only one week to go, im not really worried about it now, but thinking i may just stick with the feminized from now on and not autos. oh, and im useing fox farm products (dirt, feed and supplements) 10 gal round pots and giving each plant 2 to 3 sq feet of room. spider mites have also been an issue >.<

sounds like they hermied on ya ?! but just keep close eye on for more to appear - to close to chop to make any seeds -even though i dont think you would want to with that pollen anyway. what kind of yeild you looking at from each variety? what was your light regime???

 

[the END]

I have that Fem Auto Bubblelicious, but it was not Auto. I have grown a couple clones of it now, really nice and crystally, fruity mango tree smell. I have seen others' who hadn't autoflowered and hermied as well.

No Herm Here.

def hermed, after drying found quite a few little flower pods just about to burst >.< glad i chopped it when i did

it's surprising how all these BIG seed companys are still failing with there Autos, either not Af'ing or hermie? Let us know how the smoke was otherwise

 

[the END]

The smoke is really nice and 'bubbly' has a sort of 'soda pop' high, smooth and relaxing, but not too stoney at all. Mellow & Uplifting.

i used some OG Lowryder pollen and made about 40 seeds, It would be tight to actually find some automatics in these children.

meh, other then the fact that my buds were a lil more spindly then the pic you posted, otherwise, same smooth mellow smoke, nice mellow buzz, thats lasts a decent amout of time. about two oz all together that will make xmas a bit more enjoyable

all my regular fem seeds have done fine with a ratio of 2 out of 10 not popping, otherwise, strong female plants , these cpl of automatic flowering ones were kind of a test to see if it was really all they claimed to be. i doubt ill buy autos again, but otherwise, good results and lots faster then mass seeding and sexing and cloning, altho, learning all this new stuff being old school outdoor grower is kind of a mind rush lol stuff has really come along in the last ten years o.o

Spider mites are the beast of pests, If you can get them, HOT SHOT NO PEST STRIPS, will kill them very fast, completely dead. You put then in the middle of your garden for around 2-3 weeks, but just remember they are a bit toxic to humans aswell, so stay in your garden as little as posible and make sure you exhaust goes OUTSIDE! You don't want to be breathing that stuff all day.

Why did you put them under 12/12 when they started to AF??? You need to keep REAL Autos under 18/6 or more light to perform at thier best.

As for Bubbleicious it is well known NOT to be an AF, I dont know why they even keep selling it as such. The Original AF breeder and most private breeders have the real deal AFs bro, choose them for your next AF adventure.

well, they wre only two test plants in a batch of 6 so the others got to choose tyhe light cycle had i not started them under flourescent they prob wouldhave done quite a bit better. after cutting em down, i found that the auto northern lights had started trying to hermie as well, but ill smokeit anyways >
