Hindu Kush - Automatic

This was the 1st auto flowering strain I have grown and I must say I was impressed with the results, all 10 beans sprouted and I got 6 females which I was happy with.
I was suppressed at how fast these little buggers grew, had them under a 125 watt blue spec CFL for the 1st 2 weeks then put them under a 250 watt HPS on a 18/6 light cycle (although I have learned since 20/4 works better for auto’s).

Make sure you have them in their final pots by the end of the 2nd week as they will start to go into flower after that and you wont be able to pot up then without stressing them.
I’d recommend using 6 litre pots as their finals, I used a well known local garden centre seedling soil to start them off then used Biobiz all mix when they went into the final pots.
For nutrients I used Biobiz grow and bloom and started using them after about 3-4 weeks if I remember correct, had a slight problem with nute burn to start off so be careful with the dosage and start with small quantities. I also added a small does of Epsom salts after a month as they looked like they needed it.

The plants didn’t smell that much until the end of the grow, and even then it was not to strong. The plants grew to about 14-20 inches in all, and they really started packing on the weight in the last 3 or weeks. I think it was around the 9 weeks mark when I gave them a chop.

After they had dried it was just under 1 ounce a plant, which may not sound like much but you got to remember these are auto’s, so I was happy. The smoke was great as you’d expect from a kush strain, although not to much couch lock, maybe I should have left them a little longer. The buds were covered in crystals and was very sticky, they were quite compact too some make sure you dry them properly to avoid any mold.

So if your looking for a fast growing/early finisher with the great stone effect of kush then I’d give these a try.
