The Art of The Auto

that sucks - I am holding on to some onyx freebies I got from my last order at dope-seeds. Had planned to try and germ after my current grow is through. As I used to say in college, maybe I'll get lucky.

Tshirt Ninja - where did you buy your LEDs? I'm looking to get rid of one of my 400W HPS lights buy a reputable LED and do a "Pepsi Challenge". I have a split closet in my spare basement room dedicated to my grow and would absolutely love to have a side by side going for comparison.

hi, we had three onyx go straight male on us.

Has anyone Grown the Big Buddha auto Critical Mass?

check out "blackstar led" on ebay and gotham hydro will pop up. Call them and get a good deal bro. Send me a pm if you do a side by side.

sorry to hear the onyx problems guys..... the creator of that strain takes in comments and listens to growers on autoflower.net just so everyone can go report these issues. I had doo doo genetics from the jet47 and number 1 series from him. BTW the breeders name is Stitch.

Im growing 2 other strains from the breeder, Blue himalya diesel, and Auto assassin both of witch are growing amazing. Its just the Onyx Im having trouble with. I have 1 more Onyx growing hopefully this one wont hermie "knock on wood" I knew they sounded to good to be true!

I have e-mailed back and forth with Stich from Short Stuff and he is sending me new seeds. I also referred him to this thread so he might pop in and say what's up.

Prepare for a full on flame war if he comes in and sees my posts just a FYI....... Me and him got into it over germination rates of his Flash Seeds line. His short stuff series is flawless so far for me with 9/9 success but the flash were 0/7. In his defense though I was sent replacements and the Jet47 have germinated 4/4 but we will have to see on the others I was sent as well. My Blue Himalaya Diesel that I have are FANTASTIC and covered with resin at only 36 days they are super frosty and fat. The Super Cali Haze that I got are showing sex and flowering faster than the norm for that strain so I think I have an interesting pheno on those 3. If they produce well then I might just pollinate them with some MI5 pollen and see if I can grow super autos with purple bud lol. I seriously have mixed feelings for this breeder just like I do for liking/disliking Kanye West..... Dammit man your terrible and awesome at the same time.

same here, have some BHD that looks really great. Hoping it tastes and smokes as well as it looks. The onyx i think is just not stable enough genetically. Also have a couple of other auto's going and they look great too.

In the e-mails I had with Stitch, he said that Onyx has been stable for two years but they will do a re-test of it.

Yeah, i sort of doubt the stability. seems like there are way too many fem'ed Onyx seeds that aren't even hermie'ing but going straight male. three of the five seeds went male and the conditions were prefect in terms of ph, soil, water, heat, light etc. that tells me along with the other postings i've read that the genetics are 100% there yet. just my thoughts and 30 years growing exp. shannon

Has anyone here had a successful Onyx grow? If so post grow/smoke report. I have 1 left around 3 weeks old "fingers crossed"

I decided to put a few pics up,the older ones are about 35 days old the younger ones anywhere from 1-3 weeks. They are in either 2 gallon pots or 3 liter soda bottles with 2 400 watt hps. Im using Fox Farm happy frog soil and Tiger bloom nutes. I had to remove most of my side lights because of heat, but I'll figure something out and have them back up soon. All of the plants are either Blue Himalaya Diesel or Auto Assissin from Short Stuff seeds.

My first Indoor was BHD and was some decent smoke wish I could of finished her under 18/6 but had to go 12/12 for photo's.
But this time for Autos going with Sweet Seeds Big Devil #2 for outdoor. Just put them out 2 day and were a month old but just showing pre-pistols at nodes no budding yet in 3to 4gal size holes with a mix of soils to Foxfarm to Mg Organic and Sunshine mix Organic doing a little test. Will show some pics if thats cool here later..
Oh ya forgot 2 mention all 5 of BHD germed so kudos for short stuff. Will order again from them as soon as the cali haze is back instock man that shit looks good.

Hi Guys

Just started 4 Auto Assassin's under a 250w Envirolight 6400 and have a couple of questions. You guys seem to know what your going on about so hopefully you will be kind.
Currently running 18/6, is that ok for them ? Guessing more light more yeald. How many weeks before it starts showing ? Do I need to switch to my red 2700 after veg or will the blue be better, or both ?
Thanks in advance and sorry if it's been asked before (got to start reading this thread from the start !) but as this is my first auto grow (only 3rd grow) i'm not expecting loads of smoke as it's a good learning process. Just had 2 Super Cali Haze and a couple more from another seed shop which I might grow in the garden throughout the summer (in UK)

18/6 will be fine, I wouldn't go any lower. They show sex around the 2 week mark, but as early as 10 days and as late as 27. And yes I would swith out your bulb either at the showing of sex or maybe a week later, but then again you could run with the red one all the way through from seed to harvest.

Hope that helps.
