I have a question. I'll be growing a blue mystic autoflower in a couple of days. I have some 26 watt 6500K bulbs and i have a 105 watt 2700K bulb. I know 6500K is for veg, but since autoflowers have such a short veg cycle should I just go for the 105W bulb and not do the 6500K bulbs?

Use them both.

Guys, Christmas tree pheno has been down and hanging for 6 days.
I yielded 2 1/2 oz of this bad bitch. It was my first to finish and one
of three plants I'm keeping track of the yield. 9 more plants to process. The
Dinafem Fruit Automatic is by far the best, hands down no question...
report to come soon, I think I got 4 ozs off her! The buds are tighter, stankier,
easier to trim and so on. Seriously guys, Fruit Auto is the shit!

Petey, Thanks brotha! This is all done in a custom NFT/Drip hydro system that I made a few months back, see below. I'm only using 5" net pots which equate to less than a gallon. The roots grow into the trays and the nutrient solution is recirculated through the drippers, into the trays, and drain to the resevoir. I'm using a Magnumm XXXL refelector, 1000watt MH for veg, 1000watt HPS Solarmax for flower, I use a Lumatek digital ballast which is dimmable. I can set it on the 600watt setting with the MH when they are young and ramp it up to the 750/1000 watt settings as they get bigger.

This is the recipe I'm using minus the Purple Maxx-

Nice set up! I'm using soil atm but I'm seriously considering a few oxypots. It's becoming a drag getting rid of soil!!

So my auto blueberry grow (1 normal size 45 gram wet plant, 2 midget 10-14 gram plants) has come to an end. Buds are hanging up drying currently, then a 2 week cure. Didnt water the plants for the last week or more. Not expecting a huge loss of weight because of this.

SUPER STICKY buds. Smells earthy/sweet/diesely. Im excited for the smoke.

Im quite interested to hear how the blueberry tastes and what the effect is like. Im considering growing a couple of them next.

Diesel Ryder that I had to chop early due to bud rot. This is what I salvaged. Still have one going, probably needs another week. It is 8 weeks old right now. Grown outside, I would say these would be better grown inside...buds are pretty airy and fluffy. I would try this strain again if I ever do an inside grow, but I will go with a different auto next summer.

Great guys, keep them reports coming because all of us need the info to make hopefully better choices with our picks. You know, when a new strain comes out I'm always cautious because I read what the breeder has written, only to be half as true. Good money, wasted.
 
Hey to all the peeps...just got my seeds in from wwms 14 days to the day and all seeds are good and unharmed...all fem autos...roadrunner...haze....fast bud..and number one is what i will be growing...am germinating right now and will def be putting a grow journal and posting updates on this thread....just fyi lol

So I have a question.. If you could recommend just one autoflower seed which would it be? I'm on week 6 of my Short Riders, and I want to be starting up a new batch of autos for my second try.

So if you could recommend me one and tell me what site to get it from. (I've only used Nirvana so far and they came fast and safe, so I'm not really sure about any other sites.) I'm thinking of doing a northern lights or a blueberry or an ak47 or a fruit auto but i dunno lol!

Anyone ever grow lowlife white russian? That's what I'm currently growing, I ordered 10 regular seeds and for some reason they sent me 15. Out of the 15, 1 didn't germinate and there are 10 females. Out of the 4 males, I killed 2 and have the other 2 I have isolated for pollen collection. They're all looking great, the girls are between 5 and 8 inches right now and the males are pushing 2 feet. I was impressed with lowlife's ak47(my last grow) so I figured I couldn't go wrong with another lowlife strain. I've also got some diesel ryder seed that i'm going to be growing at some point.

The auto ak-47 from Lowlife seeds is very good - easy to grow, and grows big. Smells amazing. Cant comment on taste or strength but have been told they are good.

The auto fruit from Dinafem seeds sounds very good too - very high yielding, very smelly and sticky (not grown this one myself though, although will be in the future - big ups Jdubman :-))
