They look damn nice to me dude!
Short and fat,how soon did they flower anyways? how long did they take ect?

What light schedules would you guys say are best for autos? Anyone know of any grows that proved the difference between say 18/6 and 24/0 for autos?

I am currently growing short ryder. Anyone ever grown it or know anything about it? Here is a picture of my setup and a close up of one of the seedlings.

I have a question, where I live the weather is sunny and in the 70's so perfect for growing. Would my plants benefit from being taken out side during the day to get some sunlight or should I leave them under the lights all the time? I don't want to shock them. Also, with these autos, should I use a MH bulb at all?

books i've read all say 24/0 for veg but don't mention auto flowering... once they start flowering would reduced light help or harm autoflower bud production?

You are not going to see much difference between 18/6 and 20/4 except in your electric bill! As for 24/0 I believe every living thing needs a dark period for a bit of rest. I grow mine on 20/4...

what do you guys think of the auto big devil seeds from attitude?are they any good and if anyone has grown what was yeild like?they are meant to be the biggest yeilding autos?a bit dubious about that but we will see from peoples feedback,thanks and peace out!!!!!!

It has already been discussed but to re-emphasize what others have said - my two cents! 20-4 is your best bet. The first time I grew autos I had them in with a photo period plant that was finishing flowering on a 12/12. The result was a half assed plant that barely yielded enough to roll a doobe. I run mine 20-4 all the way through, in my experience anything less is asking to decrease your yield exponentially.

talk about nail on the head Hoss

Thanks Teflon - to half answer spoad's question Sweet Seeds is legit. They are based out of Valencia, Spain. I've only used their Fast Bud seeds. Ordered 3 fem, all germed and grew as described. I'm sure the Big Devil is no different. Would recommend Sweet Seeds as a close second to anything from Short Stuff.

I had troulbe germinating my Short Stuff seeds, only 8 out of 30 popped. I contacted Short Stuff seeds about this and they are sending out some complementary seeds. Awesome!

I just got a 10 pack of Onyx from Short Stuff. Anyone ever grown it out? Also, when should I switch my MH for HPS? Before I see some flowers or when I see some flowers?

It depends really. I used to switch from MH to HPS but i have been just running the HPS at all times. From start to finish.
there are some real nice grows of onyx else where if you would like to see them PM and ill get you the links.

also as hoss stated before do not drop past 18/6 on the lights or it will hurt yield. I usually run 20/4 for the first 6-7 weeks then when i start to flush i cut back to 18/6. Seems to help the plants mature a good deal.

Anyone try the new G13 labs auto white russian? it was the mystery seed i got in attitude's last big promotion. I think i'm going to grow it with my easy ryder autos. I can't seem to find anything about it online, in the forums... anywhere...?

im starting a grow with Auto AK47 and Lowryder 2, im going to germinate my seeds in a PC case, im gonna germ in 4" pots.
when should i transfer them to larger pots, i dont want to stunt my root growth as they're autos but i want to keep them in the PC case as long as possible because im gonna have to put them outdoors because of girlfriend problems

hey there!!
i am going to order some autos and cause i am newbie i like 2 take your opinion...i am between 3 different seeds
1st Barney's Flower Power
2nd Buddha Seedbank Demios
3d Auto AK47 #lr2
i have serched about the demios and flower power here but coulden't find a thread, so pls tell me your opinion about these 2
tnx in advance!!!

the problem with this seed it's that i cant find it at the site that i am buying from...
can u give me a site that is reliable and of course stelth?

Don Stoner, I would personally advise against transplanting autos. Given the extremely short vegetation period I have found that you need to plant and keep the plant in the same pot for the entirety of the grow. Stressing the root system on an auto can lead to underdeveloped plants/shitty harvest. By the way, does the PC case work? I have a three year old and eventually I'm going to have to stop using my extra bedroom closet and opt for something more stealthy. Cheers!

Got my La Diva auto's going. One is three weeks old. another 10 days and the other 7days old. As you cansee the big one is going crazy and flowering well They are on 24hour lighting (CFL and LED) and in a hydro setup
The big one is very dense. Should I thin out the leafs or leave it?

Ok thanks mate
