nice viddy 
evening growers
Good 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

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 them

Here'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.

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'

Just today got in 3 Dutch Passion "Think Different" and 3 Dutch Passion "Auto Mazar"
I got 5 Ultra Lemon haze Auto's growing outside at the moment... they are about 1-3 weeks from finishing, outside they take about 90 days. The plants looks great, 1 really did a very nice main cola stretch, I had 1 that spent entire life outside and will be done within a week and is absolutely awesome, if the other finish out like this one I expect at least 3-5 zips per plant. I was worried as frostiness was kinda light, but in past few days they are starting to pack on the trich's.

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.
1 week to go on the other girl and 3.5 for one behind her. Updated pics. tomorrow.
