Top 10 auto flower strains

was thinking the very same thing! and why not just use a HPS and forget all the other lights?

Why are you using cfls with most being the wrong spectrum instead of the hps. What soil are you using?

I'm going to try Afgan Kush Ryder from Attitude for my next grow. They finish in 55 days after two weeks of vegging.

im just using cfls to veg bc im letting my bro use my hps for another week until his are done...with the amount of light im putting on them now i really dont think using hps would increase my growth in the veg stage. i have over 35000 lumens right now..figure leave it there for a few more days then go to hps to finish

and most are the right spectrum so idk what hes talking about. alot of people say to use a mix of both spectrums all the way thru anyways so how can it hurt

yeah i just looked into it...ill have to keep doing research on it. can it be used in reg 5 gal pots just like soil? and use Fox Farm nutes or would i have to get all the other stuff with it?

Absolutely, just use like you would soil except you'll find coco dries out quicker so you will need to water more often, you can use any nutes you like

7 2k lumen veg and 4 3000 lumen flower bulbs.

Do you mean 7 veg bulbs that produce 2000 lumens and 4 flower bulbs that produce 3000 lumens, or 7 2000 kelvin bulbs and 4 3000 kelvin bulbs?
If its the first, why don't you just say watts and kelvin spectrum like everybody else?
I ask because I assume most people are idiots.

Hey fankjew...I've got nothing against Attitude, it's a very good and reputable seedbank, but I've used both and Herbies got my beans to me quicker, (IMO) had better stealth shipping, and was cheaper. Not only that, but one time I got a bunch of bad beans from Nirvana, and Herbies sent me replacement seeds ( all I did was send them a polite email explaining what happened, in which they responded within 24 hrs ) didn't even charge me shipping either. Now if that is a bunk seedbank, then I'll take bunk everytime...

Hi Blimey...I think saubee49 meant 27K...either that or he's dyslexic ( don't know if this is the correct spelling)

Do you still use veg nutes, even tho they usually veg in 2 weeks? I have an ebb and flow set up with some autos germinating and was curious. Thanks

I use veg nutes until around the end of week 4 when they get pistol clusters.

...well u got my drift so why try to come off like a dick about it...i was being lazy. im using 7 6500k 23 watt i believe that each put out 1950 lumens and 4 55 watt 2700k that put out 3150 lumens. . Then i have a 4ft 6500k t5 putting out 10000 lumens..im not an idiot just a first timer indoors

Subbed, been looking for a thread like this.

Not grown it myself but have a look at the reviews left my growers of Short Rider here:

Blimey- Thanks for the reply. When do you start your veg nutes? I have them going in rockwool and hydroton in a 2x2 ebb and flow tray after they germinate. I appreciate the info!!!

It's not really relevant to you because I grow in soil, but at the end of 2 weeks.

so when do u swtch to the bloom nutes. at first sign of flowering?

At the end of week 4. I actually just switched friday and this pic was from today. This is one of the more mature plants but I started flowering nutes on all of them.

nice! how do you get yours to grow so fast and bushy? Im at about week 4 now with my 5 diesels and the tallest is 12 inches and shortest being 5. Planning on switching to bloom nutes next feeding and putting them under the 400w hps.

Well for starters I start under my 400w hps. Also, I think pot size is the most important thing for autoflowers, I use 2 gallon smart pots.
