Hi, I am trying out 3 Dinafem's Auto Cheese and 1 Barney's Farm Auto Blue Mammoth. I will be growing them under 2 180 watt Blackstar LEDs in DWC bubbleponics using General Hydroponics Nutes, Lucas Formula. I change my nutes every 2 weeks and use tap water. I think I will be transferring these into there buckets before the lights go out on these tonight. Please feel free to make comments.

Day 14, they didn't grow at all after I transplanted them until just a couple of days ago. I wouldn't recommend early transplant on these.

Day 21 from seed. The stems on a couple of them are starting to harden. One is just a runt :(

Day 35, no signs of flowers yet. These are definately not going to be finished in 30 days. Finally changed from seedling nutes to vegging nutes yesterday.

Well, Day 51 and there are some flowers. I have had them under 12/12 for 10 days now. I have some world of seeds afghan kush ryder autos that I will try in a few months, but I will never grow another auto from Dinafem or Barnies farm. I'll post some pictures of these beauties tomorrow.

Thanks for sharing & being the guinea pig for us. I was really interested in the Blue Mamoth, but they don't sound like they have good auto-flower traits so I am going to pass for now. I am interested to see how the yeild & smoke report turn out.

Thanks for your interest. I wasn't going to journal these because they are so disappointing, but I guess I will. My wife is on vacation with my camera, so I can't really grab any decent pics. Here is one in black and white. My wife gets back with the camera in 3 weeks or so.

They look like they are coming along well from the picture. I bet they get pretty beastly @ the end, given the extra veg time waiting for the auto flowering to kick in.

I just planted 3 world of seeds afghan kush ryder seedlings outside for quick crop. They seem pretty popular these days. I am excited to see how those burn in mid-Aug, if the wildlife doesn't eaten them up before then.

Thanks, they are large. I hope they don't outgrow their area. The 2 that I put in 2 weeks ago are starting to flower pretty good now, so at least I know I will be getting some bud from these. I wonder what the flowering time on these is going to be and if it will get me high.

Yea I had to put mine under 12/12 as well. Waited 7 weeks before I did. Six or so days after the switch they started flowering.

Day 62, my wife will be back monday with the camera, but I couldn't wait and ordered another one off ebay. I'm hoping it shows up tomorrow because you have to see my 4 1/2 foot tall auto flowers with their little tiny buds. Dinafem sure dropped the ball on this one. So did Barnies Farm for that matter. Anyway, I'm down to 3 plants because the 4th just wasn't getting any light. Also, I don't know if I mentioned it, but I bought a 3rd LED. So I'm running 2 Blackstar 180's and 1 Blackstar 240. Here's a really crappy picture.
