looking into auroflowering mj
    #7880343 - 01/14/08 08:34 PM (16 years, 18 days ago)

i like that it wont be necessary to maintain a light cycle for flowering, plus the fact they stay small and finish fast

lowlife and mdanzig seem to be the top breeders in this particular niche of cannabis growing, but i read that mdanzig was busted so his seeds have been scarce to come by lately

anyway, anyone have any experience with AF's? and hows the smoke compare to the real thing? im looking at getting lowlife's autoflowering hindu kush, and i figure i can just trade with my friends if i want a different strain, as they have lots of sativa usually

im still setting up my grow area with a couple t8's, and mylar film on cardboard, ill try to post a pic when i get it finished, hids shouldnt be required for the smaller plants

also how does smell compare? would it be overpowering if i just grow 3 plants at a time? (im a light smoker)

I've grown LR#2, the smoke from those where as good as any ordinary strain I've tried.

I hope you aren't fishing for MJ seed trades as that will get you banned.

How stealthy are you talking about? Like indoor grow while living with your parents stealthy or indoor grow living with molly Mormons that will turn you in in a heart beat?

the first one, they know im growing plants in my room, cause im growing basil and peppermint and the such in there and ive got several plants from the garden that had to be taken in for the winter, so i dont need to do it in the closet as long as i keep it behind the more obvious plants, and im building several dwc units for when i can order some salvia, and for this

basically im making a semi enclosed grow area in my room out of cardboard with mylar taped to it

well auto flowering strains are called Cannabis Ruderalis and usually lack in potency with exceptions the lowrider is on of the more potent Ruderalis. If your looking for potency try a a hybrid of sativa and indica. they usually pack a punch you get the head buzz and the body blitz.

actually autoflowering is just regular syrains with a ruderalis bred into it then crossed back to the original and inbred until the autoflowering gene is stable in all the offspring, so its like the best of both worlds

potency might take a hit but i doubt itd be much of one, cause in the strains im looking at, the ruderalis is way back and its been crossed and restabilized with other strains after the original regular/ruderalis cross

lowlife works starting from lowryder as the source of the autoflowering gene, not straight ruderalis, so the ruderalis' low potency has been mostly taken care of already

If you are looking for a way to get high on cannabis for as easy/cheap as possible then yes to all. If you want to grow b/c of how much better it will be than what you are probably buying, then no. The water curing does work, as far as getting the moisture content correct, but it takes the flavors our of it too.

There are a few different strains you can pick for odor control, use one of them.

ok, ill prolly just dehydrate part of the first crop and then cure the rest in pickle jars

the hindu kush is supposedly the least smelly of the autos, as long as u dont move it, i think ill go for the ak47 x hindu kush, just for a nice balance, and spray my room with oust, maybe ill grow 5 at a time

after further reading on water curing, ive come to the conclusion that it is the best option for me

i like the taste of the smoke, but ultimately, water curing makes for a stealthier cure, AND a less noticable smoke, without loosing hardly any thc

plus its less harsh, which is good cause im a singer, burns to a white ash, much cleaner that air dried

im considering getting flavorings for it now, make it smell like incense

water curing? what is that?

whats wrong with regular curing? just dry your fresh nugs out for 3-5 days and throw them in a jar, then open it every couple days...

regular curing takes much longer, and its a LOT smellier

water curing is taking fresh nugs off the plant and submerging them in purified water for about a week, changing the water daily or as it becomes cloudy
water curing is more efficient because the chlorophylls and the sugars (and fertilizer) break down and bleed off into the water, but all the resin and thc stays on the bud, cause its not water soluble, but the nasty stuff is, so the smoke is much less harsh, and therefore less harmful

the only tradeoff in my view is that it greatly diminishes the flavor, but that means it also diminishes the smell of the final product, which is really good so that my parents dont walk into my room and wonder why it smells like a skunk

im even wondering about water curing my salvia, because the reduced flavor would be a plus in that case, and it would be a lot easier to get a good dose on plain leaves that way
