The pics could be better, I need a new tripod, because my hands are shakey. Plus my batteries were dying so I was in a hurry, so some pictures are blurry.

What type of light xiko? Anyway I had to transplant the big devil today, about 1 week after the first transplant, I was going to finish in a one gallon to see what they could do in them but I had roots coming out of the bottom of the big devils pot so I put it in the ground, I hope she stays happy. Good luck to her and I hope she doesnt get eaten by rabbits. I put my fast bud in an identical pot, and turned the holes so they were covered by the second pot, that way they dont grow out the bottom like big devil did. And I will see what it can do in that, as it is very easy to move them around, if it does good enough I will grow the rest in one gallon pots, I know they will get "root bound" but if they are watered enough and not let to dry out at all it wont be much of an issue. You just have to water them a lot more if they get root bound and they still grow fine, a lot of roots in a small space drinks up the water in that space very quickly.

You should start your own grow journal in the indoor section, I would love to see what these big devils can do indoors under the proper light schedule.

My girls are not even half that height, lmao, due to the lack of light Im sure. The cfl they were getting at the end of the day probably did not do too much for them, as it was only a 45watt bulb, and I just got that maybe a week and a half ago. Before that it was a small cfl in between the two. And a few days all they got was cfl light because of the weather. Now they are outside for good, and getting only sunlight. Though they could use to get more light than they do, its hard to get a full days sun in my area without having them in the middle of a field or on top of something. And some people that visit, (mom) dont like me growing shit and freak the fuck out and thats all I need is more stress. Even though she knows I need it medically she was busted before in her past and is scared to death now. And other people I dont trust enough to see plants at my place. So they are in the wilderness kind of, and get light probably from about 6:30 am to about 3:30 pm, 9 hours of sunlight isnt too bad, I know my regular plants usually do good in that area so these autos should. The rest of the day is shade. My other spot is better but not usable right now because the with the crop that is in now, the farmers will be back in about a month. That spot gets sunlight almost the entire day. Had a nice 7 foot tall white rhino there last year, could have been bigger but got started late, and was in the shaded woods for two weeks. Anyway my plants smell pretty good too, I think these girls are going to be pretty nice when done. Good luck with the rest of your grow.

What size pots do you have your plants in xiko, I am asking a lot of questions but your big devils seem to be right on track where they should be in growth, maybe I will start and finish my plants in that size potters next time, one gallon is not enough they get root bound too fast, my big devil is in the ground now so its not an issue now, but I just would like to know for future references.

They are looking nice man, I'll take more pictures of mine tomorrow. They look almost the same size as mine honestly, mine are also going into flowering. I'm also germinating 2 purple jems & 1 flower power auto as we speak, I'm excited to see how the purple jems grow. Anyway keep up the good work man, time is flying by. Our babies will be all grow up before we know it, p'z!

Yes, I wish I could do more than that, I just cant in my situation, I would explain but dont feel I have to. That single bulb was closer to the plants than most people put theirs so from that one bulb the plants probably got just as much light as several in a lot of the cfl setups I have seen. I keep it about 3 inches away. If I measured from the center of the tops to the bulb. But they still grew ok in that light. Just not as good as they can outdoors in the sun, A 45w cfl is rather bright, so in the small space I have it the plants get good light, well plant at this point because the big devil is in the ground. The fast bud is under the cfl right now because of all the rain. They have good growth compared to the others I have seen, considering I cant give them 18 or 20 hours of light per day like most do with autos. And if you added up hours lost per week, its quite a bit, so I dont expect them to get as big as they can be. This is my first auto grow, and I do outdoors, I dont have an indoor setup at my house, Usually I start plants outdoors and finish them outdoors, but these are started way earlier than I am used to. So bringing them in at night time was a must at first. If the sun peeks out soon, I will get that plant outdoors.

Growth has picked up on the plants, more on the fast bud than the big devil. It sucks the sun is not out, havent had much good sun since I put the big devil in the ground. Should get some great sun for about a week after tomorrow. AND then more fucking rain. An update with pics in about 2 days. When the sun is actually out.

Hey man, here is a picture of my best BD at day 27, took the picture last night. Looks as if these baby girl is ready to start budding up already. Hope yours are about to do the same. I also put those PJ's & flower power in jeffy pellet, I'll have a new grow thread opening very soon, still no sprout. I haven't given my BD & FB any nutes yet and seems to be keeping up with yours, I'll probably start nutes next watering.

@FOAM,Mine dont get as much light as yours are my friend, if I had them under lights all the time they would probably be a good bit ahead of yours. Being the fact they they are keeping up, and under a longer light schedule. But good to see yours are doing good, and beginning to flower nicely.

@xiko, my plants are doing good, they are outside for good now, they are not where your plants are in size, but they are held back by a lack of light hours. But Im not worried about that, it is something I knew would be an issue with an early season grow. This same strain should do much better once the days get longer, I will probably start more late may, they should do much better, due to more light hours outdoors. The big devil has been in the ground for about 5 days or so i think, and I just transplanted the fast bud into a 2.5 gallon potter. 1.5 gallons more than the one it was in so it should do much better in that, root wise. Which should make the rest of the plant grow better. I will be doing an update with pictures tomorrow.
The fast bud is stretching a good bit since it started to flower. Not so much on the big devil. They are growing at a good pace, not the best, but later in the year will be better for autos. Hopefully a month and a half from now I will be harvesting, but something tells me more like the end of June, it would suprise the hell out of me if they finished on time, going by what the breeder description is 7 weeks for the fast, 9 for the big devil. They flowered when they were supposed to, but dont have the light to grow fast enough to finish in that time, I THINK, but these things might just blow my mind and finish in time. Like I have said before this is my first experience with autos outdoors, and the ones I am helping grow indoors are under a 12/12 light schedule because of the regular plants in the room, And they are taking a little longer than most Diesel Ryders. But they were also seeded heavily too. We have harvested 90 seeds off of the one plant so far, and its still growing, thats just the ones that were basically falling off of the thing. I think we did the right thing by pollinating that batch! No more paying for autoflower seeds for me anymore.

I plan on doing some auto breeding, I will probably put a small patch somewhere and let a diesel ryder male pollinate a big devil and fast bud female, should be a good mix. And i might have some mi-5 and russian rocket fuel seeds by then to mess around with, as long as a friends seed run works out. This would be later in the year most likely.

My brother from another mother, indeed we do think alike. I am also planning to breed a few autos, I plan to collect pollen from my Purple Jem males and brush the pollen onto females to produce auto seeds. I am a bit limited on autoflower strains at the moment so my next order I'll get a pack of autos with more then one auto seed so I can begin to cross breed. Should be a very interesting project I also plan to tackle in the near future, this will be my first time working with pollen. I only have 1 easy rider auto & 1 other auto seed I can't think of the name of at the moment, all my other autos are in the dirt as we speak. I really wanted to grab some of those diesel ryders on my last order but money is short at the moment, let me know when you decide to breed. I would love to experiment at the same time as you considering you copy of my grows constantly, LOL j/k.. Anyway good luck with that and let me know how the smoke is on that auto diesel Ryder.
