ive been coming back time to time to compile some info
so much in here its just finding it.

Saw the troll and had to call him out

its so nice NEVER having to worry about that again

LoL Duplex i love your location Dirty south =D

I was just browsing this thread and was wondering something. You say to start the seeds in the pot your going to use throughout the grow. But what if you're germinating the seeds in seed starter soil. Wouldn't you want to transplant them to regular soil like FFOF some time during the grow? Isn't most regular soil like FFOF too hot to start a seedling in? Not growing anything at the moment but just curious here.

Well thats simple wizzy all you need to do is use a blander soil in the top 3 inches of your container and fill the bottom with the rich stuff. By the time the seedlings roots reach the good stuff the plants will be established enough to handle the nutrients in it.

oh boy... from what the description says it looks like a worthwhile grow.

Figured I swing by and throw a couple of pics of this mornings harvest at ya. She was 200 grams wet and had 25% amber trics mat 65 days old.

gents my ladies just showed sex and will turn 4 weeks old tomorrow..... switched from cfl in these pics 6 days ago

these are nirvana's short rider fem autos and im pleased.... grow tent is coming soon and i will be upgrading my lights to even larger once my next crop starts up.

That is a huge difference for three days. With any luck they will keep going nuts like that.

Im sure this question has all ready been asked at some point but 456 pages is just to much to sift through. Is a t5 with 20,000 lumens enought to flower autos under?

hi i have a 80 x 80cm floorspace and 4 pots that fill this compleaty

i also have 3 ak48 auto fems and 2 bubblelicious auto fems

i plan to put 2 aks and 1 bubble in pots by them selfs

and 1 of each in a pot together

with the 2 in the same pot i plan to lop them and grow single colons

im new to growing and would love any advice on when to lop these 2 and how

i belive some people say not to lop autos but it is just more of an experiment

thanks

People say not to top autos because they flower by age not by the change in the light cycle. All you will accomplish by topping is a decrease in yield.

ok... wow.. ok.. what. few questions...

What lights are you using?
What light cycle are you using?
How big is that pot... What I mean is, whats the width of the pot? ( trying to find out how many of those I can fit into my closet)
65 days old? from seed??!?!!? if so, then you have just converted me ( like 90% now, the only reason its 90% because I gotta go and buy the seeds and wait lol). thats blue himalayan diesel? my goodness... you should get like... almost 2 zips from that if the 25% dry theory is correct.

dude, that is supercrazy growth in 3 days. I figured only growing hydro would accomplish such but it seems im wrong.

To answer your questions I am using cfls on 24/0. the pots are 1 and 1/2 gallon buckets. They are like 10" across And yes that is 65 days from a germed seed going into soil. The plant I just harvested was not a blue but the last of a twenty seed mix from the same breeder. All of them are from shortstuff seeds. I grew out the mix and decided to stick with the same breeder when I ordered seeds again. I chose the BHD because it is supposed to be the stoniest of his line. So far they are growing great Out of 8 mixed sex seeds, 7 are healthy little bushes. Out of those 2 are female and 1 is male. Still waiting on the other 4 to show sex. In a couple of weeks I will germ the last two blues. That is the last until the seeds I harvest are dried

auto's are shit commercial growers dont use auto's if they were viable in any way shape or form they would be used your arguements sound like your invested heavely in the auto scam

the amount of breeders in here breeding shit house auto seeds for the big companys is very funny

we see you an will call you on your bullshit , this has been happening since the out sourcing and will only get worse and worse and worse

Normally I would think of a better way to say this but I will just go with my reflex and say Go fuck yourself. We are not commercial growers and not out to make money. While you may be completely against making growing accessible to the masses by simplifying it, some people understand that convenience sells, period. Once again there is another asshole who decided to waste his time kicking his OPINION around like we ain't heard that shit before. I say once again good sir go fuck yourself.

I don't see large scale weight being produced with these auto's unless you make your own seeds. I do hope i can learn from growing them. and who cares? its fun growing any weed!

well said teflon!

nice teflon!
