    Cheers m8 I'm still a bit new to this but learning all the time. The guys in this thread (FullD, Mossys and co) helped me along with my first attempt and saved what could have been a disaster. But that's what it's all about - spreading the love, ha ha.

    hey there everyone I've got 3 short riders going from nirvana, and they look like they're autos, not like the northern lights from my 1st grow. Gotta agree with K21701 about the LST, i pulled 73 grams of my 1 NL by LSTing her, had 12 nice big colas, and i stunted her by some over zealous pruning...

    Hi there thought i'd chip in as i'm growing Short Riders from Nirvana as well This is my 2nd grow - 1st was nirvana northern lights autos, which turned out not to be autos, but so far so good with these. 22 days in and all 3 are showing pre flowers. I've got her in normal B&Q compost with...

    That i will m8, got it penciled in for next weekend I think i'll give it a go with my shortriders. I'm going to plant a couple so i think i'll LST one and compare them both. One good thing about her coming down early is i should have some nice smoke for the boxing day test match. You can't beat...

    Hey Mossy had to drop a line to say a big thanks for the tip the other week to help my over pruned girl. The 1/4 strength nutes every other day has certainly done the trick, as the pictures will testify, you are most definitely the David Bellamy of our generation:clap::clap::clap: Gonna have...

    Thanks man. I probably will. Just an idea i had floating in my head. At the moment i only have a small tent to grow in in the spare room. But in about 9 months i lose the spare room and then i'm screwed:sad: so was trying to think how i can grow as much as possible in a short time without...

    That sounds good to me:-P Another noob question now i'm afraid:wall: Can you grow from start to finish under a 2700k lamp? My thinking being so you could stagger your plants by dropping one in say every couple of weeks or so and have them in their various stages under the same lamp. Sorry for...

    Thanks m8. That makes things clearer. Did you see my earlier question about what would be a sensible number of short riders to put in a 60cmx60cm grow tent under a 125w cfl? I know you've said before that the roots are really important on auto's, and obviously lighting is an issue, but if i had...

    What would you suggest as being the ideal light cycle for an auto? There are people that say 24/0 is best, then someone else will say 18/6... For someone new to the whole thing (like me) it can get very confusing as to know what is best

    They look to be doing well. Mine went into soil on Oct 1st so about the same age. I only vegged for about 3 weeks tho. Once i saw no sign of flowering I changed the lighting to induce. Quick question For my next attempt, the short riders i got as compo from Nirvana, What would be a sensible...

    Will do m8. To be honest, she's been stinking my room up for a while now already! Quote from Nirvana website: using a 24/0 light cycle. The fact that auto-flowerers are not photo period dependent, like regular cannabis plants are, does not mean that being bathed in light 24/7 is right for...
