Hello everyone,

A lower branch from my white widow auto wasn't looking too good so I snipped it off and placed it in water. It perked up and sprouted roots. I decided to put it in a pot and this is what it looks like a week later. Let's see if I get anything from this. I'll keep you updated.

@bassdude1118 That will be interesting, I wonder if it’ll go pack to vegetative  growing for a while. What light schedule do you have it on?

@monty right now it's getting natural sunlight through the winter garden/conservatory. It gets between 10-12 hours of sunlight

@bassdude1118, from what I've read, you can clone an autoflower, but its life cycle will be shortened because its genetic clock has already started.

Sorry to rain on your experiment but I went down that road last year.

The auto knows how old it is and will simply flower all the earlier.

Expect growth to to small and yield insignificant.

My brother pulled it out by the roots and popped it whole into a quart mason jar. He hasn't tapped into that harvest yet but it's good to know it's waiting.

she's grown a bit since my last post but nothing extraordinary. I definitely think this is a worthy experiment as the branch would have died anyways so I'll be net positive on cannabis. Also for some reason, I'm really enjoying watching this thing that shouldn't be do it's thing.

Pretty much one of the best parts of this hobby IMO...

 

Me: Man, I need to grow some cannabis to refill my stash.

Cannabis: Yeah, sure, do your worst son, I've got the big shoulders, I can deal with it!!!

Eager to see how this plays out... thanks for documenting. I feel like this is one of those things you read everywhere where each article simply regurgitates the same information yet no one ever does an actual trial to see for themselves...

Hello everyone. 

 

It looks like she added a few more flower spots along the main stem and she has gotten a few inches taller. Maybe there won't be a big yield but nevertheless I'm quite impressed with what is going on and with TGs supersoil which I just recently made a batch of and thought I'd give it a try with this Frankenstein project. I'd say she has easily doubled in size since I started. I think I'm going to keep her in this small half liter pot and just see what happens.

@bassdude1118  Well done mate, it looks like she’s gifted you a couple of weeks of vegative growth before going back in to full flower. Well worth doing with a broken branch imo.

Here is what she looks like today, she's growing.Do you guys think I should try some LST? I'm going to keep it in here as part of the micro grow experiment. Is LST a thing with microgrows? Also I'm growing it indoors in my conservatory so it's getting a lot of natural sun.

Wishes he had a Conservatory to grow in...that would be awesome! Lucky dude...even if you had to work like a Hebrew slave to be able to buy a house with that feature. Smile

@curmudgeon thanks man. I am definitely blessed, but that being said it's a common thing in a lot of German houses

heres what she looks like today. The super soil seems a bit hot, as the top leaves are curling a bit but I don't think it's too bad.

@bassdude1118 the curling leaves can also be a sign of hypoxic conditions, which have seen this on a few plants now and they all curl at the top of the plant … caused by frequently over watered medium, could this be the case? I’m still learning so just throwing myself out there to understand these things and of course I could be wrong and more than happy for someone to correct me. Clone doesn’t look that bad at all though, it’s soldiering through.

Having a conservatory must be great for growing?

Hey guys not much has changed. Here is what it looks like today..The supersoil seems to be a bit much for it. Its basically turning into a big bud stick. I think I'll give it a bigger home since the roots are starting to come out the bottom.

Also I should add I tried to clone another autoflower at the same time when I tried this one. The other one is still sitting in water because the roots never sprouted. So I guess if doesn't always work.

@bassdude1118 Since they're autoflowers, we're not expecting a huge yield, but hey, we're all here for science!
