Autoflower 1st Time Grow Attempt - An interactive experience w/ pics

alright so it is day 41, and still no flowering on any of my auto flowers. They have all grown and are at about 5-7 inches tall with branching but I believe the slow growth was definitley due to my heat which stays at around 90-94 during the day. Does anyone know if they will still flower just on a much slower time period or will the stress just turn the into nice green plants with leaves?

dang man...youre making me worry...you should try some cfls or something smaller until they get a little bigger...i have mine in a dome under two t8's right now until they get a bit bigger adn they can go in their final pot

i think it would be wise to get a good vent system in there. i would probably just do a few computer fans for exhaust and a passive intake but i would definitely get a cooltube on that 400w though its makin that thing an oven. until then a would switch to all cfls and get an exhaust fan as soon as possible. lookin to grow some autos myself if you get the vent situation controlled i think you will have an awesome grow.

Ya Im switched to all cfl's right now, the real problem is that where i am now is a basement which doesn't have ac unless im in my room, however im moving to a place where that will be fixed. Now I just need to buy a mobile little stealth tent or something of that sorts

I just pulled up a chair and thought hmm white Russians I see lol! I'm doing 2 auto wr myself and I'm using 2 23watt cfl and at night since my girlfriend sleeps n complete darkness I opeN the door to the girls n let them get there night air on. It's about 23 days and the just started to flower about 1 week ago that's for one. Yeasterday was the first day of flowering for my other one so I have a week on one and like 2 days on another. I'll tell u this about the auto wr, they are some dam waterholics! Just watered like 2 days ago and the one that'd been flowering needs water already. The smell is a little sweet ATM but more into the flowering I'll let u know how they are. My thing is my light keeps burning the leaves and I know they are a little mad at me but I'm sorry my love!!! These are easy plants to do and if anyone ever use mirical grow make sure u wet the soil all the way for like 2 days or ur plant will slowly get nute burn. I've seen it happened here lol! But yea post some more pics man and I can give u the advice that might help u out bro

I know this thread hasnt been posted on in a while, but dang man your temps were way to high. You should have used Day light blue CFL's "coiled florescent bulbs", from a home improvement store, homedepot, walllmart, etc. Anyway I also have ordered seeds from the Attitude, all mine were regular strains feminized, but I also got a free RoadRunner auto flower, along with a few free fems. I had never used an Autoflower before, and this Roadrunner actually grew quite well. I am growing it with Super lemon haze, Hash plant haze, 2 dff white widows, and Bluecheese all fem. Anyway the RoadRunner shot up talller than all but the hash plant haze in the seedling stage, and I put my light cycle to 20/4 for that stage. After around 2 weeks I started veg with a Metal halide and CFL mix also turning the cycle to 18//6. The Roadrunner immedietly started to flower and it was still only around 2-3 inches tall. I was worried at first becuase all the other plants were so far away from budding and even smaller. Now im around 50 days into grow from germ date, and The plants are all around a nice 1 to 2 feet tall the RoadRunner is doing exactly what an autoflower should, its now around a foot and a few inches tall and just 1 big nugget, while all my other plants are still on 16/8 cycle about to go into flowering, lol! All my plants are in 5 gallon buckets, with holes drilled in the bottom for drainage, and im using fox farm happy frog soil, b/c it has no nutes in it like Ocean forest. I learned from passed grows Ocean forest tends to burn plants if combined with the recommend Fox Farm feeding schedrul and nutes, and most other brands as well such as Thrive Alive. Also you want to mix your soil with around 1/3 or more even of coarse perlite. It helps for the roots to aerate wjich these plants thrive on. An ociliating fan will help you a lot if you try again.
