Are they all autos? If so, switching to 12/12 will do nothing but decrease your yield. You want to keep them on 18/6 or 20/4 through the entire grow. If you have photoperiod plants that you just switched to 12/12 a couple weeks ago, you have ~6-8 weeks left depending on the strain and individual plant.

If your "Red Dwarf Autos" took over a month to show pistils and only did it after you switched to 12/12, they might not actually be autos in which case you would have to keep 12/12 light on them. Where did you get the seeds? I know there was a whole hullabaloo a month or two ago about a bunch of Nirvana's "autos" not autoflowering. (EDIT: Just re-read this part of your post -- to clarify, did you switch to 12/12 before or after pistils started showing on the Red Dwarves?)

Just thought i would post some picture updates on how my girls are lookin.... The first 2 pics are the AK48 at 39 days old... 3rd and 4th pics are the BLUE HIMALYA at 34 days old and the 5th and 6th pics are the PAKISTAN RYDER at 42 days old and the 6th pic is just a group shot of all of the girls. Hope everyone has a great day and good luck to all....

Okay, so I ordered some autos from Attitude on Friday. 5 of BCN Diesel and 1 Mi5. My question is, can I LST them? I know to never top an auto since not enough recovery time. But I don't know if trying LST would be good. I just did it with my oldest girl and already just 10 hours later I can see tiny little leaves forming. But I have zero experience with autoflowering strains and really haven't even completed my first grow, so I am trying to make as few mistakes as possible. I have already made plenty, but I have learned well from those mistakes! I just would perfer to learn BEFORE I make them from now on! So any thoughts on this would be really great! Thanks guys!

I have never tied mine down, but plan to in the future, i have done alot of research and Yes, you can LST autos, people have said to Start tying them down after they reach the 5th/6th node and it usually doesnt slow down the growth at all or shock the plant.

I was thinking about trying the flash seeds out but I went with short stuff again. I should be starting some blue Himalaya deisel in a couple of weeks. I will keep up with yours to see how they do for you

The reason I decided to buy some autos was because I have other plants in my room that are vegging and aren't able to flower them due to cold ambient temps

I've just harvested a short stuff russain rocket fuel, unfortantly it turned out to be a runt.. Hopefully get a few bowls worth for Christmas period
