Hows things every1!
my 6 autos have been under my 250w hps for 13 days now and looking goood :-P

I have 5 la diva and 1 roadrunner that were put into their big pots after around 7 days. if any1 could give me some advise/tips that would be great.

Growing in levingtons multi purpose soil with perlite, no nutes used yet as i dont know when to apply them with autos (bat guano)
1 fan blowing direct onto them temps kicking at around 25 degrees in my cupboard and the lights around 8-10 inches away (plants vary in size)

Thanks for looking!!

well,I've only grown Lowryder 2,and they responded really well to ferts,1/4 str.,at about 2 to 3 weeks,so I'd say tour just about due to start them on a schedule,bet introduce it gradually,a couple of mine didn't take to the nutes at first and started to yelllow,but within a couple of days,the plants were fine.Rudi's are subjective by strainn,so a lr2 may take more nutes than say an auto White Russian,or auto AK.

Thanks for the replys, deffo gonna start them on 1/4 strength i just wasnt sure on when and how often.
I'd like em to be in the 20 - 25 inch high zone.
atm they are bushing out alot more than growing tall.
How tall can auto's get and how do you get them taller by having the light further away?
Thanks again

Usually the Ruderalis family as a whole goes 15 to 32 in length,and as far as I can tell,the distance doesn't affect it that much,but a hps light will definately produce an overall bigger plant as opposed to cfl,or flouros.

looking good m8 i have had lr2 vary from 12" to 36" both in same grow lol i baby 1 mummy. also some r leafy and others are high calyx funnny plants always v interesting 2 grow, how do u manage to get the light so close though my temps alway rocket wen i go that close, but your babys look like they loving it rep i started feeding when they gt to their 4th node and always do unless they look like they want it before, generally they starting to flower then so its easier to determine the type of nute to use, gd luck m8

Ok thanks for that bro,
so just to confirm, do you think it will be ok to start the 1/4 strength guano after say 3 weeks?

Cheers sweetsmoker!
They are some strange heights! lol, but i suppose every plant is different.
Not sure on how they are dealing with the heat off the light being so close i have the fan on high during the day and low during the night but all seems to be good, i have no other source of ventilation tho which is a worry.
I cant seem to find any1 that has grown la diva before which is kinda annoying!

The seeds are "delicious seeds" from attitude seed bank u'l see la diva in the auto section.
:-o well the cupboards pretty big and the window in the room is always open with a ceiling fan on. Il post a pic of the cupboard for ya.
Yeh man need to sort summit ventilation wise for the flowering time might just be a couple of pc fans.
