evening growers mind if i drop a vid of my greenhouse big bang autos ................................................ .[video=youtube;u_lXNUdnahY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_lXNUdnahY[/video]
glad to have you along sounds like a good plan. cfl's are great for small space / low cost grows some autos yeild 2 1/2 oz if you can find themGood Evening and Hi, Am a noob,but having read some of this (looong) thread,thought i would throw in a pennies worth,
Ok here goes...
Plant: Pandora-Paradise Seeds
Lighting: 200W Blue CFL initially,add 250 Red CFL after 3 Weeks,when flowering replace 200W Blue with another 250W Red and a 50W CFL micro Red for underlighting.
Soil: Canna Plus with added micro-orgs,20% polystyrene ball-bearings
Nutes:Bio-Grow,Bio-Bloom,Maxi-crop
Pots: 10"
This is the first time using AF's so am looking forward to the results having heard pros and cons,previously had great results with Super Skunk using this set-up,minimum heat and maintenance,
The Pandora's a strange beast indeed,and growing at an incredible rate..everywhere..Germinated 6 weeks ago and now 8" tall by 8" wide, Side shoots did not get picked off and looks like a mini full grown bush-no xmas trees here
I am coming to the conclusion that AF's and CFL's could be a great solution for small enviro-friendly,organic gardens so long as yield is not as important as flavour and taste,
Will post Pics when figure out how to do it LOL

................................proof is in the pics +rep nice shotsHere's a Snowryder I chopped the other day. The cola alone will get me close to 1 oz. when dried. I avg. about 2 1/4 - 2 1/2 oz. in a 2 gallon pot. I also included some pics of 2 more 1 is 2 wks from harvest the other 4 wks.
Thanks, I really enjoyed your video.................................proof is in the pics +rep nice shots
i was thinking a t5 might go nice in my collection also im on looking aboutpakalolo, what size light are you using bro? Whats the smallest t5 light I can use and still get some decent yields? got a 1000w hps in my tent, but wanna do some AF's on the side. Might have to go light shopping...
Thats pretty awesome man! So I guess the 4ft 8 lamp VHO fixture I just ordered may be a lil overkill?? haha....I got the room for it so figured wth....The smallest I run is a 2' 4 bulb T-5 96 watts. If I put 1 - 2 gallon pot under it I can achieve 2oz.+
The other T-5 I run is a 4' 6 bulb 324 watts. I can fit 3 2 gallon pots under it in my space, with 2 - 1 gallon pots also, this would be max. I try to run 3 in seperate stages right now under the 4', with seedlings under the 2', using 420 total watts!!!
with the total 420 watts, 1 full run of 4 plants I produce 9+ oz. in 10 wks from seed to harvest.
My floor space is 22" x 6'

I weighed up the Snowrder last night, she came in .2 under 2 1/4 oz. for a total of 62.8 grams. I also transplanted the seedlings directly into larger pots. I had 5 of 6 being female, so 4 went into 2 gallon pots and 1 into a 1 gallon. When the roots were exposed I sprayed them directly with a solution of Maxicrop soluble and Mycogrow pH'd to 6.5. I see no sign of transplant shock, that afternoon all leaves were perky and not drooping, signs of growth are apparent today.Here's a Snowryder I chopped the other day.

Lamp came in the other day and so far its badass! Got a few clones of mixed strains under it right now (sage, kushage, blue widow to name a few) and my auto seeds are on their way!!..............................if youve got the room then .........................
