Peace to all! I have read the entire post and I am subscribed (since a few days ago.....it's realllllly looooooooooong). I have just placed my order in for the LowLife Auto AK47 (fem) G-13 Poison Dwarf (reg) and an World of Seeds Afghani Ryder (fem). This being my first professional bean order and I am nervous about the order arriving (from Attitude). I have not even thought about the autoflowering type and now I am convinced that they are the way to go especially since it is my first time with pro beans (all up to now was scwag beans). I'm really excited to get them and get it moving, just a little nervous about the grow and recieving the order. No questions now but I may have some (or many) in the near future and I am glad to know that a new grower can get good info that is relevant. (I also plan on a seed run in the near future, so I WILL need advice) ++Rep for all who deserve it!!!! THANX FOR THE INFO!!! PEACE!

Lucky for me I have very caring connections. I actually had two female and one male Diesel Ryder hand delivered to me by a great friend. They were 30 days old and the purpose behind it was to let the male pollinate the females to get my own seeds. He also left me with 16 Diesel Ryder seeds just in case something went wrong so I could start over. I yielded over 450 seeds from the 2 plants, even more amazing was that the tallest plant was like 8" tall, the shortest being just UNDER 6"
As far as origin of the seeds, I believe they were ordered from attitude, but it was a long time ago. Not 100% positive about that, but I could find out if needed. I hear attitude is a pretty good company still these days, if you can find your beans in stock!
As far as people worrying about their seed orders, just remember this: There is NO point in worrying. If the worry is that they will steal your money, then as long as you order from a reputable seed company it wont be an issue, otherwise they wouldn't be a reputable company. If legal matters are whats worrying you the most then keep this in mind: These seed companies have a reputation to uphold, and they hate LEO as much as you do. If your shipment gets confiscated, they will go after the shipper not you. Thats not to say that someone wont add your address to a list, or watch you without your knowledge, but thats why you should always use a safe address (ie: not where you are growing).
Peace

So my first try wasn't so good turned out to be male even thou i ordered feminized. So my new baby will be 2weeks tomorrow when my last was 2weeks i could already see sacs but this one not one sign, if ya look up my last grow you can see him(1st grow snowryder). This one is not as big as he was at this time but i heard males grow and show quicker than females...true? Well i added some guano to the soil when i planted that a homie gave me and added mylar to keep direct light on her. As you can see it is a very small space and have to leave the door cracked to control temp. Here are some pics let me know how i am doing. thanks RIU

Hey does anybody know whats the maximum amount of autos that can go under a 400hps with adequte spacing for side growth in a 20 sf area growing Auto Ak47, (which are the biggest...) Lowryder2, & Auto Ak47 x Auto Blueberry... I was thinking 8 plants...I'm trying to get 1oz dry per plant...Although I know if i use a 600hps or 1000hps I can put more plants and yeild more per plant, but funds have just become a "major isssue".. maybe after 2 harvests, ("perpeptual") I can buy what i really want...

Have a look at my auto ak47 grow (linked in my sig) the auto ak47's get really bushy and I have very little space, but you should get a good idea. They are under a 400w hps

Wow 8x600W lights and you are new to growing?? Just jumpin right in there eh? You can definitely pull a substantial yield from those lights. At best if you could get a gram per watt were talkin 4800 grams or 171 ounces!! But dont expect anywhere near that if you're new to growing.
In my opinion thats way too large of an operation to learn with. I would hook up one of the 600w lights and get at least a grow or 2 under your belt before attempting to use all 8. There is no way anyone could give you all the info you need to pull off an op like that, it takes time, patience and experience. Plus with that much wattage you need to take into consideration the spike in your utilities, the extreme heat and also the danger if one of those lights were to fall. You will have to sink a LOT of money into a project of that size to make sure everything is safe & set up right. I would get the help of a professional if you are lucky enough to know one personally, such as an electrician or someone who knows a lot about exhaust systems.
Either way, good luck with your grow and I hope you get lots o fat nugs!!
Peace
