First of all I have to say great job!! Those are beautiful plants. That said, a couple questions lol. How tall will those get? Hows the smell? I'm currently doing my first grow with the Auto strain Diesel Ryder. I would like to move on to different, ''normal'' strains but I'm worried about space and smell, thats it! Its still early for me but being on RIU has made me extremely ambitious and curious. Good luck and Happy Growing!! +rep

I planned on doing them all that way. If i can help it that is. Weather is warming up here. Won't be long at all when i stick my autos in the ground.
Thanks man, the more the merrier!
Hey man, glad you asked. Given they all have ~1week left. I'd say they're at their max height for my grow. Now same strains in different conditions will have different results. The taller 2 plants are about 2 1/2 foot tall? maybe more. I havn't got out the measuring stick yet. so who knows. The BM had more sativa in it, and i think thats why she grew as tall as she did.
Smell.. Heh as of lately, the inside of my grow doesn't smell a whole LOT. But in the same room the fridge sits, smells like weed. If i had to say, on a scale from 1-10 10 being the absolute stinkiest, 1 being the least smelliest.. I'd give them about a 6. Pretty stinky, but not really bad. Also, i've come to notice smell changes all throughout the plants life. Very interesting. I can tell you this also from experience. Just because you have a lot of space, doesn't mean you can put 5-6 plants in there.. Yea they'll grow, and you'll get bud.. but as opposed to having 1-2 plants in a small area, maximizes the growth coming off of those 2. and you'll get more off those 2 alone, than you would have if you had 6 plants in there. (Some variances may differ!!)

Just stumbled upon this thread.....actually got blazed on some well cured dieselryder and been surfing more than usual...LOL....Very nice looking grow under cfl...I'm impressed. I've currently got a Blue Mystic close to harvest and just chopped 2 green poisons.....Harvested another GP about a month ago, long enough to KNOW just why they call it that....shows itself in a real indica way !!!!great evening smoke.
Rep + for those good looking plants.

How did your GP look in comparison to my buddies? Cause we're not satisfied with it's growth. I've read it's a 7-week finisher.. Which, week 7 all my plants are just about on.. I'd like to know if the current growth from my GP is about normal.. or lacking due to width to grow.

Now for some bush. White Rhino bush that is.

And for some Green Poison.

Well, I'm pretty sure the taller white rhino will be chopped next week. But the rest of the plants don't show any signs of maturing just yet.. No orange hairs. Nada. So a couple more weeks on the rest of them for quality assurance.

Awesome man.
Love to see these stealth CFL grows.
I have a few ideas on how your box could be more efficient.
You could get even more light saturation (more dense, potent buds) if the bulbs were placed more horizontally, more light emitting
surface area would project lumens out into your plants.
Also if you were using more of the right spectrum's of CFL's 2700k (i think) and 6500k Your plants would be able to absorb more light.
And what would be even more beneficial, a reflector for your lights right above the bulbs.
Mylar works great, and would reflect a lot more light than the inside of the refrigerator.
I'm sure you probably know you can keep the lights just a few inches away from your plants.
And other than that i would pack that fridge full!
You could put two shelves of plants in there 27 plants each!
Do a Sea of Green setup in there and harvest six plants every week 7-8g per plant.
That's a pound every 10 weeks.

I'm well aware of every bit of that my humble friend. The problem is, this grow isn't within my immediate reach, so doing things i WANT to it, is kinda hard. I'm satisfied with what i've got atm. I rushed myself into putting those babies in the ground, and halfassed a bunch of shit. So i half expected this to turn out half assed in the sense.Awesome man.

If you made a few slight adjustments to your grow, two heads are better right?

And Even more helpful than those two things, you need a reflector for your lights right above the bulbs.

Like I said Samurai, effin gorgeous plants!! The one question I have is how many CFLs would it take to say grow one 'normal' plant, I'm using them with autos right now. And, what type of light schedule are we talking in total CFL wattage? I guess I've always thought you had to have HPS or something more powerful. Thanks bro! And hey if you got the check out my journal and drop me a line!

Thanks jhod. I think sometime today i'm going to look at my taller WR since it's close to choptime for it. It's getting realyl close.. about 60% or so oranged hairs. on that WR.
Thanks og420! stick around eh?Well your plants look great.
Seriously.
Well, i've got 4 1/2 plants in a fridge, with twelve 26watt bulbs.. more 2700k than 6500k. If i had to say. those twelve 26watters would be best used evenly spread out over 2 plants SCROG'd. Or you can get some of those extender thingies that ConcordDawn uses in his box. and still put that 300+ watts over 2 plants all day long, and get great results if your other conditions are met. (ie: soil, nutes, water etc..)
For lighting, i'm on 12 hours of light, and 12 hours of darkness. wow... for less than a week.. next sat will be 8 weeks of flower for my bunch. dang... time flies... i vegged under 18 hours on and 6 hours off lighting with all blue spectrum (i think thats the 6500k?) for 6 weeks. Or untill i (a) saw sex on the platns (b) started seeing 'alternating nodes'. The sat them in about 24hours of total darkness, and went right into 12/12 till now.

Alright so, the Taller White Rhino has been chopped!! Sad day for White Rhino. But she'll get over it. I left the entire lower half in tact. I am just going to stick her outside, and hope she re-vegges. The shit is sticky, and stinky as fuck. Denser than my last grow, but no popcorn shit, still pretty dense. Definitely a great fruity-ish smelling piny smell. I threw it on the ol' scale, and all together off that one tall WR plant, i got 88grams wet. Not bad i'd say. Any guessers out there wanna guess what my final weight may be? (I love this game!) I'm thinking a little over a zipper and a half.
