I'm an organic grower. I'm starting a grow journal over here as the forum I am currently using is getting worse every day. Just uploading pictures can take an hour. Here is a small WIFI OG that is close to harvest and several Critical Kush from feminized seeds I've made. The third picture is of a CBG force mother. I took clones from her and will be making feminized seed from them.

I've made thousands of seeds. Feminized and regulars. I've just started crossing auto-flowers too. I've only grown about 30 auto-flowers so far. I do pretty well with them indoors. This year I tried starting them in 1/2 gallon pots and pushing them to 25 days before transplanting them to the 10 gallon pots in my green house. I stunted them and it will mean some lost potential. But, it taught me a valuable lesson. I normally pull around 1 pound from 4 auto's in my greenhouse. The Critical Kush seedlings are for two different patients that are new to growing. I'm just passing it forward. Thanks for your comments.

Well my Greenhouse autos are embarrassing to even post. But, I'm going to anyway just so others can learn what happens when you push your seedling to the point of the roots circling the pot. I'll stick with starting them a bit later directly in the pot they'll finish in. I still have an Auto purple going that needs a few days more.

A wee tip for u so u don't hav any setbacks at transplant,with autos u start them in there finishing pot,autos are on a time limit so any setback is detrimental,so start them in the big pot,no transplant,no stress,no problem.good luck,76
I agree and usually do. I was growing them in my greenhouse and wanted to get an earlier start. I started them in solo cups last year and transplanted them into the 10 gallon pots shown in the second picture above. I grew them for 12 days in the solo cup prior to transplanting. I pulled over a pound last year in the greenhouse. This year I just wanted to see what the failure point would be and I found it. It's somewhere between 12 and 24 days. I had one of 5 plants that the roots didn't circle the pot's bottom. That plant is still growing normally. I grow plenty of weed so it's not a big deal. It just felt like a waste of time trimming those tiny plants.
