Are your seeds fem? I would do like atleast 6 fem autos in there. Or 12 regular. Probably more since you have a little strain.
no my seeds are regular. i want to breed one of the fems with a male so i can have more seeds for later... after that I just want to get rid of any males and grow the ladies... till i get down to my last 10 seeds again...​

I would love to but im 5+ weeks into flowering two northern lights.


Think I could slowly add 30 minutes a day to the flowering reg plants in my flower tent? So that way the autos get more light, there only getting 11 1/2 hours a day right now. I cant see how 13-14 hour days could hurt my 5+ week flowering NL right now. Im wondering if I should just do that, and pray they dont reveg.

I wouldn't risk it mate. Just shoulda waited before starting the auto flowers really - lesson learnt though I guess.

When should I start adding nutes to my autoflower? It's my first time growing autoflowers so any info helps. I got 4 short riders goin in FFOF soil under a 400w hps. They've been goin for 2 weeks and 1 day today. When should I start adding nutes and what kind? I was thinking like Foxfarm bloom whatever since im using FF soil. Ive heard I should wait 2 weeks so like starting now but others have said like a month and idk what do you think? Ill add pics n a sec

In my experince i add nutes after they have showed sex and i use a 1/4 strength untilll i know they can handle more.

Growing autos under 12/12 can work out good. I had a few nice plants once I put them under 600 watts of hps instead of those damn ufos. To be honest they were as big or bigger than most of the ones you see on here grown under 18/6 or 20/4. I had regular plants in the room as well. But I was doing a seed run for the autos mostly. So I wasnt worried about weight, but once the hps light was put in there they got some pretty nice weight to them. They would have been even better if the 600 watt was on them the whole time and not just the last 3 weeks.

Light intensity and the rest of the envirtonment are going to be the factor with your yield, same with everything else. But 18/6 or 20/4 will perform better for you than 12/12. Im just saying it shouldnt be a total loss having them under 12/12 with regular plants as long as your using and hps lamp 400+ watts preferably.

Thank god outdoorindica! There under 400watts of air cooled digital ballast hps (eye hortilux bulbs instead of a normal hps bulb) in a sealed tent with 3 2litre homemade co2 bottles. 6.5ph soil, fox farm liquid trio, grandmas molasses, 75-85 degrees, 20-35RH. 2 gallon growbags, pro mix organic soil

Still a learning process for me, these NL will be my first sucessful harvest and hopefully il just do autos from then on.

joint doc.. info is basicly the way i feed. after reading that artical i would of like to see some info on breeding. as for MFdiamond. dude i can tell you wait 2-3 weeks and keep your nutes down low, theres no need to give them heavy dosage of nutes. i grew one with fox farm (OF ). and gave it no nutes just to see what it would do. and it finnished just fine, that plant was the same size as the ones with the nutes. so on all my autos i keep nute or ppm down lower that other plants i grow. just from that exsperment. actully that one plant was one of the best tasteing plant i ever grew. as for autos. i use pro bloom for flower. and no veg nutes what so ever. really by the time she done vegging witch 2-3 weeks. the soil as plenty of nutes in it to last that long.

The tallest of my auto ak-47's has grown an inch in 24 hours, she is now 18 and a half inches tall after 30 days. I reckon she's gonna finish up as 3ft+ :-D
