Haha yeah, you shoulda seen the response I got when I wanted to drop everything and drive 250miles and buy a 250 dollar light..some women don't understand :(, oh well, Mary gets it at least :p.

I cant wait to see what you get goin with that 600watt! I'm wicked excited to use my 400watt, its bright as all hell. When I plugged it in I was afraid shit was going to start levitating and floating around it:bigjoint:

HAHAHA! yeah i put my tent up the day it arrived (mid august), in my livingroom :-) switched the light on and left it for 15 minutes (spliff and coffee) ... when i unzipped the tent it was like some end of the world fireball hanging in there :-) .... so straight back on the net and ordered a smart controller for my fans hehehe.... and then packed it all away for use after we move house :-(

have you seen my HPS Journal (its on hold for a few weeks)... but it has got some pics of bits i've bought (https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/462637-600w-hps-autoflower-soil-grow.html) ... and i'm busting to get it running!

I just checked it out, man that reminds me, I still gotta fix up that room! But I think 100watts of HID will keep these little fuckers busy for a while :p

yeah fella... i'm glad i got this 125w cfl now... seeing what its done for these seedlings when i get the tent up i will use the cfl for weeks 0-3 then give them the 600w beast... should reduce time between harvests almost by half :-)

me too ..... this is my first run using seedbank seeds... and the green o'matic's were a spur of the moment purchase (they didn't impress me compaired to some of the others available) but hey i'm glad i've popped em first..... but them blue mystics and n-lights are burning away in the back of my mind.... but at least your grow will give me a bloody good idea what i can expect from them, as i say i'm more interested in your grow any other i've found to date

I usually try to cure for at least a week or two(seems to make a nice difference) and I dont like to dry any faster than a week, but sometimes you cant help it if it's not a lot. I just go with the old fashioned mason jar, leave it open for like 6 hours a day

I could use a HP of widow :p, hell I could even share a :joint: or two..:joint: :joint: :). Haha I don't expect heady cannabis cup winning weed my first or 10th time around :lol: I'll just be happy with some good middies, anything better is gladly accepted ;).

I like your idea troutie, I'm going to try and do only weekly updates too:p I keep taking pictures too haha. The stalks are getting fatt uptop on the widow and NL, but the bottom is still about the same, is this a normal part of growth or because of the way the fan is blowing onit, I've always wondered this because this always happens with me

i think you'll be suprised with what you'll get.... more so if you wait for the amber tric's :-)
and your growth seems normal from i've seen of autos in the early weeks.... aslong as there not stretching massively i think your doing alright, most auto's i've seen have mass growth on top and fatten as they mature..... :-)

yeah its hard not taking pic's but i'm sure by waiting the week it will better show my progress

I sure hope so:p, just to prove it wasnt a waste of money if nothing else :). That auto is growin pretty fast, not as fast as other people's..but I havent started feeding it yet so thats probably why, I'm not worried. I'll get what I get, even if its nothing. thats the way she goes :p
