Was flushing them the last thing you did? Because if it was then my suggestion would be to leave them for a little bit to try and give them a chance to recover from all the messing about they've had over the last week. Its very easy to swing from one mistake to another with the best of intentions (ie trying to put right an earlier mistake). To the plant it will just be a sustained period of craziness.

With that said however, im still a noob myself, so obviously dont take that as gospel. Hopefully some of our more experienced growers will be able to offer their opinions. Hope it works out dude.

Hi all, i have 2 auto lowlife ak47s 5weeks into grow, 1 has been budding for about 2 weeks fine 60cm tall bushy in 5ltr container, grown in all mix and only feeding with liquid fish mix (3ml per liter of water) once a week and now it is budding i use (2ml per liter of water) top max, but leaves are a bit small and now they are starting to curl at the edges i have read up and think it may be Magnesium deficiency so i hope buy spraying them with epsom salts should solve the prob i hope. ok thats number 1, now the other is the same in a 5ltr container grown in all mix and only feeding with liquid fish mix (3ml per liter of water) once a week. Plant is nice bushy 60cm tall but only a couple of hairs near the top and when i say a couple i mean a couple, what is going on here?

Wow, that does sound strange. Most likely reason is that you've got an individual that didnt fully inherit the auto flower genes. But I was under the impression that they were f1 hybrids, so shouldnt really suffer from that sort of problem. Maybe it'l start flowering more fully in the next week or so, if it doesnt then maybe you'l have to put her under 12:12.

The member 'jdubman' on here has some experience with the lowlife auto ak-47's and has helped me greatly - hopefully he'l pop in and be able to shed some light on it.

:peace:

Thanks for the reply, I have grown before easyryders and white dwarf no problems but this is just strange i thought about the 12/12 and i think i am going to try this now because like i say the few hairs that are showing have been like that for about a week and a bit but nothing else. got epsom salts today for the first one so i will spray that tonight and a little in the feed.

hey guys hope alls well in grow-land. Yesterday I left for a day and got home today(was prolly gone for 24hrs) Well before I left I watered my N.L autos as they were pretty dry and threw in some superthrive and a lil bit of a full plant food nute from HESi. I did this a few days before that and they loved it. Well I get home now and they all seemed to grow a bit wile I was gone and are green etc all but 2. One is noice an green but has a few whiteish spots on a couple of the leaves. I read up and it could me spider mites but I really dont think it is. The other plant is just a tint yellow and some of its fan leaves are curling upwards. Any ideas what the white spots could be on the one lady and why the other has the tips of the fan leaves curling up??? I throw up some pix when I can!! thnaks!

Yah you prob have many defficiencies, Autos need a veg nute schedule the first 2-3 weeks and a bloom schedule from there on out. My Auto Ak47 from Lowlife are finishing anywhere from 65-70 days from seed. Average height between the 8 auto AK47 are roughly 26-28" but I do have one finishing up at 38" (monster pheno).

was going to order me some blue mystic and bubbleicous lowryder seeds today but it seems since my bank account is only 87 days old i need w8 3 days for the bank to take the hold off my check , bummers.

I will order in 3 days i guess.

I wnted to know what is a ideal grow bag size , i was going to buy 2 gallon grow bags , i dont think any bigger is necesary since a 5 gallon is good for a nice size not lowryder plant.

should i get 2 or 3 gallon grow bags ?

thanks

and if any1 lives in ny or nj or pa , and has grown lowryers outdoors let me know what you guys think about starting mid july

Good threead tho lots fo good pictures and info unfortauntly i only got to page 25 , theres too many to go over all today.

Hi GodsCreat0r :-)

As those strains you've ordered aren't the biggest of auto flower strains id say that 2 gallon would be more than sufficient. With regard to growing them outside from mid July, that'l see them finishing about the end of September/early october - so the question is, when are the first frosts where you are? and how much rain do you get in September? :peace:

another ? is what/when can i start giving the autos flower nutes? They are about 25ish days from sprout and i got Beastie Bloomz, Cha-Ching, HESI Bloom nutes, and Bud Factor X. Also is it better to go with for example, intead of going with the full dose it says on the beastie blmz label should i go with 1/4 or even 1/4th the strength? And flower nutes can be combined right? Thanks guys!

LOL, I just read this a couple of posts ago, or I wouldn't know either...You can start autos on flower nutes when they are two or three weeks old, so you are fine to start them. I would start with 1/4 strength though because you can always add more, but if you put too much on em, ur girls will be MAD!

thanks for reply , well my first frost last year was mid october , as for rain i am not to sure , i would have been happy if my order was placed today. but i will have to w8 3 days.

i plan on only planting one of each strain , and save the rest of the seeds for next year , seeds should last that long.

I got a plan to fill a grow bag put the seed in water it , and use a new tek i have invented , i call it balloning.

I will be posting pictures when i get my seeds and everything.

It will be a clear plastic bag blown up with air and pited over the grow bag , so that no insects get in and the girls get plenty of sunshine since its clear bag, i guess the main thing id have to worry is for the bags not to puncture. as for rain since its a round shape the rain wont have a chance to collect on the bag and bring it down, giving it a automatic greenhouse.

What do you guys think so far ?

LOL I know all about pissed off girls, I'm a girl grower LOL Not a problem, I like to help if I can. I fucked up my autos by transplanting and stunted their growth, so I know firsthand about not wanting to screw up.

Sidenote* I pollinated my female auto assassin with my male auto assassin a few days ago...I'm pretty sure it took cuz the hairs are starting to turn rust colored. The only thing is that the littlest hairs are turning purple. Not just a little purple, ALOT! I'm wondering if this is normal or not...anyone got a clue?

jdub that thing looks so good!

Anyone else have advise on my DYING PLANT?! THank you bigby. You know, I never flush with as much water as they say to. Its dying so fast, it cant be overwatering, it has to be the fertilizer or peroxide. Im gonna have to try more flushing tomorrow.

Pics are on the bottom of page 364

I have 4 Auto Nirvana Short Riders goin here on day 26... They are all the same age but as you can see my biggest is about double the size of my smallest lol. I have a few yellowing leaves on the bottom i dont really know about. They're in FFOF I've only gave them nutes once and it was a small dose of tiger bloom.

Would be appreciated if some of yall would wanna check out my journal:mrgreen:

I reckon you'l be fine dude. Just be aware that an outside grow with auto's is unlikely to yield the top end for each strain - they do like their intense light. But that you will end up with some quality herb. :peace:
