Northern Lights x Big bud Autoflower Grow!

[grow4fun420]

did some rearranging in my tent yesterday. took 3 out of about the 12 in there and put em outdoors to flower cuz
i was just running out of space. so now my autos are in the back row. and check these beautiful
babies profile lol

OH YA! Your girls are going strong man... PROPS!!!

 

[ambedexteras]

Thx man. Its my first indoor grow ever. I spent the doh tho.
Didnt start with cfl like most indoor newbies. And I've grown outdoor so I have grow experience
In general. But ya man I'm super happy with
Everything. Dont wanna get too excited until
First harvest tho lol u know being a pessimist
And all

took out all the ladies individually outside and gave em a gallon of water each.

Be careful of the high temps.

The plants tend to be a little more tolerant of high temps in veg, but in flower those kinda temps can stunt them.

I think that’s what happened to mine on reflection. My veg room wasn’t fully equipped but I popped the seeds and put them in there.

I hadn’t put the Mylar in yet and thought it would be plenty cool enough, since it was just a cardboard structure with plenty of gaps for ventilation.

Well I put the Mylar in and a temp gauge and found that my babies had been cooking in the low 90’s under my 4 foot T5 HO unit, yelp.

I put an air intake fan in and will figure out how to get a Carbon filter in there without blocking any light within a week or so.

Necessity is the mother of invention, so I’ve got an idea how this may be achieved.

The main tent reached critical mass now, vegging will be restricted solely to the veg tent/area.

So no more swapping between the flowering tent and the veg area for my stunted lady.

She will have to be content with the standard 12 hrs light cycle and I guess I can take her out of the tent during lights out.

We'll see how that works out, lol.

She's bottom right corner in the first pic.

The second pick is the vegging area now.

Hey guys, my bad on not putting up any pics last week. I've been dealing with some family isssues. These are from last weekend... As you can see the Blue Cheese started to flower early. This one was a mix up. Thought it was weird that it started to flower around 3 weeks, lol.

 

[grow4fun420]

I am taking more pics tonight and will have them posted by the end of the weekend... Keep on keeping on!!!

Dude yours are looking crazy bushy! I didn't end up topping mine or anything like I wanted to... did you top yours? I'm thinking mine wont get very bushy like I wanted them to but a lot can happen in a week or 2, lol...

 

[ambedexteras]

very nice man. theyre looking good.
looking super different from mine tho huh?
both definitely autos. mine has got 19 hrs on/5 off since seedling and
is 2 weeks into flower . and urs are def flowering. i wonder if mine are more
towards the NL and urs are more towards the BB? who know man
urs are looking damn good and healthy. i think the pots look so damn cool lol

 

[ambedexteras]

nah man but was Literally just thinking that. im looking @ urs and there healthy and awesome
but not nearly as bushy. they look super single cola dominant. and @ first i was like well he
prolly didnt top like me (cuz i always top but these are my first autos). but then i remembered
i didnt top.

i heard alot of negative comments about topping the autos so i never touched em,
thats their natural structure!

Thanks man! Yea thats a very good possibillity. Mine have been on 20 hrs of light and 4 hrs of dark

 

[ambedexteras]

ya Herb man that is a sexy set up lol man i need two tents like that.
im 90% sure im gonna flip my tent to 12/12 and try to bring the autos outside like 5 -7 hrs a day.
i was measuring yesterday and all the plants are same size give or take 2 inches which is
weird since some are 2 weeks apart. but their @ like 32 inches with the pot. and its an 84 inch
tent. and ive heard upon flipping to 12/12 u can expect the plant to double in size. this is my first
time but if thats close to tru i need to flip RIGHT MEOW lol

Thanks man, I made the veg tent out of a couple pieces of wood and some card board.






Why you flippin to 12/12?

I don’t know if the 12/12 rule applies to Autos.

Plus if you put them outside to get more light on top of the 12/12 then it wont be 12/12 anymore it will be 12 + however many hours of light they are getting on top of the 12.

Thanks man, it sure keeps me busy.

 

[ambedexteras]

i hear that. i spend 10-15 hrs a week on avg and i have less than u sir lol part time job

 

[grow4fun420]

Keep it up guys! This is going to be a good run...

 

[Phenom85]

Do not switch to 12/12 you will kill yield. That does not apply to autos. And the reason they got stunted is because you transplanted them. Autos don't have a long enough lifespan to recover from the transplant stress. Your t5s should of been about 3 inches above your plants or else they will stretch and be lanky. That's why they aren't as bushy as the other guys
