They certainly seem so. That's a nice growth spurt for 8 days. :good:

Yes, I think so too

And all I'm doing is watering. No extra nutes besides what I put in the soil mix

wow! for an untopped plant that thing is super bushy
depending on how sturdy the stems are you may need to consider some additional support when she starts to bloom
very nice results sir!

This thing has FAT stems. I've seen plants twice as big that didn't have stems this sturdy

OK, it's time for another update

Here is the Tomsk Petrol. It is starting to fatten up a little.



Next up is the Magnum Opus



I sprouted a backup Magnum Opus, and it's bigger. The last time I sprouted a backup plant, it too got bigger faster, and it turned out to be a male. The male Tomsk Petrol is chilling in the back yard. When it starts dropping pollen I'll hit the female.



Now for some observations. The plants obviously are vigorous, no doubt. Easy growers, no issues there. But I'm not seeing any trichome production yet. No sweet smells. Still just smells of vegging weed. Now I've never grown these before, so maybe they will start to ice up soon. Maybe I've got too much nitrogen in my mix. Not sure yet, but they have at least 6 weeks to go, so time will tell.

this might give a little better perspective

12/14



and 12/22



I cut away a few yellowing leaves. I don't normally defoliate, but they were yellowing and in the way of some bud sites, so I whacked 'em.

Update time

First up is Tomsk Petrol. She's started to give me some smells now, the pre-flowers have some trichomes and smell sweet. I smell more than just vegging weed when I open the tent. I'm going to give it some extra P&K as well a a pinch of epson salts.



One of the 2 Magnum Opus is male. It showed sex really early and you can see his tiny balls, LOL.



He's already gone. Luckily, the backup Magnum Opus is a female and you should be able to see the pistils. I'll get a staggered harvest, which is fine



I planted another Magnum Opus since I have an available pot that the male vacated.

These fuckers grow fast

Indeed, hence "auto" as their name sake. Hoping you get a female Magnum Opus!

Thanks for showing the capabilities of afterthought auto strains!

I got busy last week and forgot to post an update


First up, I've made an upgrade. Got me a new Mars Hydro TS1000!





Next the Tomsk Petrol is going to be done soon





Close up of the top cola. I seeded a lower bud, so I will have a few seeds too.





The Magnum Opus unfortunately got a little to hot of a mix ( I re-used some soil mix and amended it a bit too much). So it stunted. I'm going to try flushing it real good, but it may be too late.





But I have a backup. It hasn't showed sex yet, but I'm pretty sure it's a female.





I figure the Tomsk Petrol has about 2 weeks, but I'm going to start checking trichomes and will pull it when the trich's say it's done.
