Two of my regular seedbanks quit taking VISA so I tried an unknown. Brand name seeds in stealth packaging was the ad, but none of them grew similar to seeds in breeder packs from other companies.
What was supposed to be "The Purps" did not have any two grow the same at all.
One of them is the focus here.
Thinking it was a photo it remained in the veg area, holding for size. No indication of anything amiss, preflowers were normal. To make up for runts I am usually a plant or two ahead and as this Purps was sparse it got passed on until one day it was too large to go into the bud room.
Having found a home for a previous six foot veg plant I hung onto this one and put word out for someone with a greenhouse.
Four months along it started to bud. It now has leafy buds as big around as my wrists. I whacked off some lower branches and trimmed them, a bit airy but definitely smokable. Another two weeks before they start getting overripe.
Far Red was put on for the six hours off time, those large diameter branches in the photos are solid bud under the cover of Ruderalis leaves.
Rumor has it Far Red may cause denser buds. Far Red was added to the Auto area after 18 months of harvests without Far Red. We shall see.
No idea how or why, but no question these are real buds on an indoor eight foot auto flower of unknown origin.
I will post shots of the trimmed buds when they dry, should have thought of that an hour ago. Small bottom branches not getting light were cut and trimmed, no others.
Having only limited experience with auto flowers this has me puzzled. 120 days before any obvious budding. Eight feet tall. No long night trigger, 18/6 all the way from birth. Yield will be over a half pound.
Is this really as odd as it seems to me?
