LED Autoflower grow. 1st time.

Hey fellow growers, Here is an update on my LED autoflower grow. It has been 5 days since my last pic and i fed them first nutes a few days ago and there has been some explosive growth! The Cream Caramel in the middle had bad PH issues that are all worked out now, but it is going to yeild much less than the others I imagine. The Flash babylon is a little bushier than the Caramel but both look very healthy. I had to get rid of the Non Auto (spicy white devil) to make room for the 3 new plants. If you want to see some great smoke follow this post. My light, the Raptor x3 350, is bad ass. I cannot keep this thing anywhere close to the plants because of the intesity of it. The coverage area is huge. Enjoy the pics.

that's super AWESOME because i got all three of those mentioned just sprouting, purchasing a nova series led today at 1 o'clock!!! that sucks about your flash babylon but im kinda in the same boat with it, my spicy white and my caramel have sprouted and are doing great, the flash is germed so hopefully she pulls through but is taking forever to break surface =) we're gunna be about 2-3 weeks apart at harvest time so this is exciting haha GOOD LUCK :peace::peace::peace::leaf::leaf::weed::leaf::weed:

This is a question I can help answer... This guy uses a drop ship sorta system for his ordering, when you order from his site, he will then place the order with his manufacturer, the confirmation you received was just the payment confirmation... You will most likely be waiting another week or 2 for shipping confirmation because his supplier is in china I think and they take forever sometimes... then it is another 2 weeks for shipping... just giving you a more realistic timeframe... but from what I have seen in person from these lights, is that they are worth the wait... be sure to keep in constant email with the guy about the light until it gets to you... he is very dedicated in making sure that his customers are happy hint hint... boogerballs here can give you more info if you need it but I hope this helps
 
right. My light took exactly 2 weeks to arrive at my door from the day i ordered and that was with Labor Day slowing things up. I love this light. Only thing is it's very powerful and I have to keep it about 12-15 inches away from my plants so the leaves dont curl on top. BTW my ladies just started flowing today!

^^^^ hahahaha i second that! and right on! i appreciate all the quick answers:weed: !!! you guys are awesome. The payment confirmation on there says it usually takes 10 days "to be delivered" so i got slap happy. i was super hasty and started a sea of green with just some randoms (15 because im following the led comp. and if you can get results like that in a party cup....then im sure 15 pots with double the room with be magnificent) in a tent next to a tent with two autoflowers (black jack and cream caramel) and a photo-period raspberry cough :leaf: vegging my raspberry until the autoflowers are done is kind of sketchy but hey its all in good fun :-o
 
New pics from the first week of flowering! About 5-6 days into flower already and still looking healthy. I added some other pics of my outdoor harvest as well. Enjoy!

Here we are 2 weeks into flower. The 2 in airpots got really tall. I am not sure if it is due to that but that is the only variable that is different between my 2 cream caramels. Interesting...Enjoy.

Week 3 flower pics. I have been using the same General Hydro Max bloom but also adding Humboldt Honey ES and Roots Organic Extreme series that I got for free from the local grow shop. I have to say that they are flowering at a rapid pace, I think they could be done in as soon as 4-5 weeks which would put them on a schedule of about 11 weeks from seed. They are starting to dense up nicely in places and look very tasty. See for yourself.

looking good^^^ careful with the tops, showing some light intensity symptoms....raise the panel/ or tie down your girls.....good luck
 
Ya i have already had to top off a couple nice colas because they were growing into the light. i just raised it to the max which was only a couple more inches. How do i tie these things down? I dont want to break the stems (which i almost did already), or mess up the plant any. Advice? i only need to get them a couple inches away.

just "super crop" them, go down the stem, pinch until you hear a slight crunch and gently bend them over. youtube it, i do it all the time and my plants looks like 90 degree angles haahaha but hey it works like a charm :weed:
