It may be that the seeds for this batch were just old and that may have caused the smallish size, but I don't know much about auto flowering strains...hoping you get something for all your efforts tho!

Mods must be sleeping in lately....that was rude!
Hey TANKJR,
When I grow AF's I usually grow two at a time. On the first try I was able to get over an oz and a ½. But on this last try I harvested them in the middle of January and got only about a ½ oz or so from both plants. They are cureing at the moment, but I tried some, and even tho the quantity was low, the smoke was still really good.:thumbsup: Good taste! Good stone.
The only thing differently I did from the first to the last grow was, I used those stupid little styrofoam cups when planting the seedlings. I dont think that even tho I vented the bottoms of the cups, it was good enough, and I believe I left them in the small pots too long.:wtf:
I really like the AK47af's taste and buzz factor, but I'm still debating on going WW next.
Whatever I decide on, I'll more than likely go with AF's again, so that I can kinda "hone" my AF growing skills before moving on to a more traditional grow.
I like to do small grows, and I kinda like the shorter grow times.
I usually run out of herb from one grow to the next, but I dont mind for two reasons; 1. it helps me with my tolerance, and 2, There's nothing like the feelings of excitement you get as your growing and anticipating the next harvest.:jointsmile:
If your thinking of doing AF's, they are actually pretty easy to grow. I reccomend that you germinate them, put 'em in a one gallon container first and don't use plastic or styrofoam cups. Once they are about 6" to 8" tall transplant them in a larger pot that will hold them to harvest. I usually use a 12" x 12" size for two plants at a time with good results.
I used molasses on this last grow and even tho the plants tuned out smallish, I still saw a significant increase in bud size by the way.:thumbsup:
