400w Auto Grow...

Yeah this is my first auto grow, I'm really started to like the auto-flower capabilities. Dude a 4000w grow room would be sick! Just want to throw this out there but 3 600w bulbs are better than 2 1000w bulbs. You can cover more area and put the lights closer to the plants(giving plants more lumens) because of less heat. You save electricity and get even better lighting. Not sure how you want to do your setup but I thought I would just throw that out there to ya. atx budgrower those are some nice ryders man. I didn't think they would thicken up like that! Mine are outdoors right now but I might build them a little green house.

the reason i am going with the 1000's is that the 4 of them will put off more lumens than 4 x 600s (i only have room for 4 lights based on the reflectors i want to get)... and the way my grow will go i will have at least 12 plants that veg for 2 months prior to going into flowering.. so i will have some large plants after the stretch.. this is where the penetration of the 1000's are needed... if i can end up with 4 foot tall plants, i can lollipop the lower foot and use those for clones, and still get the top 3 feet of the plant penetrated with light so that the entire plant produces buds...

very valid point tho... until i really looked at the area i am using i was going between 4 x 1000s or 6 x 600s... the area is 9x7.. and with the ebb and flow res, chiller, and walking space there is no way i can fit 6 x 600s in there comfortably...

I'm so sorry about my recent disappearance...i haven't been on the computer in a while, just been traveling and running herb to my buddies back home...it's been such a hectic crazy month, and things are just starting to settle down...i was very poor for a while so i had to take things in my own hands, i'm doin great now...i am back, so i'll be around alot more like the old days, haha....i did harvest my crop, the yield was a bit lower than i was hoping, due to the lack of space and i'm thinking my hps bulb is due for a change...i'll also put up a few pics of what i have left, it did turn out super dank...all in all i ended up with 3.5 ozs and over 350 seeds of diesel ryder, so i'm happy as hell..i apologize again for dropping off the face of the earth and i truly appreciate all the kind words....you guys are some great friends and i hope all is well...while i was away my girlfriend was using my computer, and she likes to browse around rolliup, that's why you saw my name signed in....well guys, i hope you can forgive me, hahaha....:mrgreen:

Hi all, i read about a type of super yielding autoflower and visited a link to a site about 2 months ago and I'm pretty sure it was a link in this thread that lead me to the super yielding thread and I just can't find that thread or site anymore. The seeds are very expensive, something like 200 quid for a pack. I vaguely remember the guy that produces these seeds to be from Canada, I think.I think the guy is called Dr. something but im not positive.Its not the joint doctore or dr.chronic if anyone is thinking that. I think one of the types of bud is called autumn flower or moon something. I'm definately not dreamin here. Its in a thread somewhere. So smoking up definately has some play on your short term memory.ha any help is appreciated.
 
I just sat and read this whole thread, I was doing a search on AF strains and I came across this thread and after reading it, I enjoyed the people and also the info, I am starting a new grow in a new grow room I just built, this is gonna be my first real grow in a grow room..I've had a few other grow but they were in a closet and I have finally built a room so now I am ready to grow more then just 3 or less plants....I also just bought some AF strains b/c I want to see them go from the seedling stage right to flowering, plus I bought some other strains, I am gonna be growing the AF strains: 1 Automatic Blueberry, 1 Automatic White Moscow and 1 Easy Ryder, the other strains are from green house which are: 2 Big Bang, 2 The Church, 2 Himalaya Gold and 2 Lemon Skunk. All are fem. seeds. I just got the blueberry and the big bang and the church seeds today and I should be getting the rest this weekend, I order the seeds I just got today and then a few days later I ended up ordering more. lol

Anyway's I hope to be able to get info/help along the way plus also be able to share this grow with you guys. :-D
