Afghan kush, star ryder, white dwarf , trans love, and syrup

So i had another thread up but for some reason i couldnt post back on it.
I am currently growing 6 plants, and it has been a rocky start. I had purched some cheap soil and cut it with vermiculite hoping it would work and... it didnt.
i nearly lost my whole crop. Now we are back on track , but i see the plants have been stunted. They are recovering and looking alot better . I started out with the run of the mill 400 watt hps then upgraded to 430 hortilux super ace, and that bitch is bright, got some better soil and had to transplant all of my plants into fox farms warrior soil, i am using the general organics on the go box, i know that it sounds sketchy but it worked wonders on my last indoor slash outdoor grow, My kush ryder plant is showing some major pistols but it is still pretty small but it smells and everyday i see growth thro out the room. I also aside from the autos have a john sinclair trans love sativa, it is a big bastered, and is showing pre flower pistols everywhere , i am planing on throwing the whole room into a 12/12 cycle tonight after about a month of 18/6. Well thats about all i can think of i am going to post some pictures comments , help, tips, anything is useful
:clap:

Hi there looks like you did have a few problems. How much grow area do you have?? The reason I ask is I like to plant my autos in the container I'm going to do the whole grow in. I like 3 to 5 gal. air pots with roots 707 use HG roots excelurator with your grow and step back and SMILE!! Hope this helps you some don't post much mostly read and grow don't do drama. But one last thing please for your sake do not go 12/12 with autos Yes you will get bud but not much.
 
damn that sucks because i just went 12/12 because of my sativa you know i am not really worried about my yeild with the autos it was a run thro.lol. if i get anything ill be happy. I plan on running a second grow as soon as this ones over, deffinatily going to make some changes .

The best part for me is I always have somthing in flower all stages then summer and outside monsters that's when I do photoperid plants.
 
yea outdoor was alot easyer i just wish i wouldnt have screwed myself in the beging but shit happens we move on. I am thinking about doing 4 mawi wowi plants in the far corners of my yard this summer, i have seen some big yeilds off of those plants, and it gets so hot here in the summer that you almost need a tropical sativa to make it

You know autos dont need to be put into 12/12 to induce flowering. They go into flower based on plant age, hence the name auto-flower. Most strains can stay at 20/4 and even 24/7. I dont know much about your strains, but Im sure you can research to see if they can handle 24/7. I would do at least 18/6 the rest of your grow, possibly even 20/4. GL with your grow!

so my yeild will be alot less with the light cycle switch that much ?
Cant say that it will be ALOT less, but it will definitely be a noticeable amount. Since you can leave the lights on longer for the buds to absorb more energy for growing. maybe you can cover up the sativa with a trash can or move it to a dark room/closet to keep it in a 12/12 cycle. I did the trash cans with an outdoor grow that I was trying to force flower.
 
i was doing my green o matic and autoblueberry grow and i was doing it at 18 hr on 6 off and i asked franco from greenhouse seeds what the best time schedule for auto was and told him that i was growing the green o matic he told me with autos you always get more with 20hr on 4 off so switched and i noticed the improvement even after the first week i meen its up to you but in my mind if it sent dependent on dark time for flowering then the more light the better you do need some dark time for the buds to stretch but 4 hours for autos is all they need if you were to grow an auto strain at 12 / 12 you will drastically and with autos you get really good results in big pots like that guy said on the first page 3 to 5 gallon is great my green o matic didnt get much tallers then 24 inchs and when i cut t down and cleaned up to pot the soil came out the shape of the pot and white roots where everywhere and the main stem was super thick i couldent cut it down with my fiskar garden shears i had to saw it down with a steak knife and that plant only grew from seed for 67 days iand i grew it in miricle grow soil so if your set up is better espect a really thick stem especially on the white dwarf and the star ryder but another thing to think about is the bigger the pot the longer the grow will have to be. your yeild will be alot bigger but the bud may take an extra week or two to finnish. also another tip because of the short growth time if your having problems with your roots like rot from being alittle root bound try adding alittle hydrogen proxide to you water not much and dont use it when your doing a big feed but it will help extend the life of a root bound plant alittle and its also a good preventative but the trick is using it sparingly.
 
thanks for all of the tips and advice, i have been on 12/12 for about 4 days now and i just keep seeing growth . I should have elaborated on my set up more , but everything is in a 3 gallon or above pot, the trans love ,ofcorse, and the white dwarf. I will deff have to try the hydrogen proxide tonight i will post some pictures later tonight. Again thanks
