you are in for a treat man one of me favourite weeds I'm in the middle of growing it again myself

they get about 11" to 18" and you'll get from 16 to 32g (with your set up you should get near the top end) it will take around 8 - 10 weeks. taste is fruity with a lovely hint of diesel you get the same sort of smell, fruity with a diesel hint and the high is strong and long lasting trust me you wont be disapointed

they also grow well in lower temps

greenthumbsman · Aug 17, 2011

ya i was having a bit of a temp problem was running at 92 so what i did i didnt quite have the money for another inline fan so i took the workings out of a smaller like desktop fan the good kind with the metal blades i took two plastic grow pots mounted it in the middle and taped the shit out of em end to end then hooked up my 6 inch dryer hose to one end put that end in g room sit the pots with fan outside in the crawlspace of basement now my temps are running at 85 a little better but i really need another fresh air intake to drop it a little lower or just get me a nice inline but this one is helping so far

This Russian smoke sounds nice. I might have to take a look for it myself. Or a smoke if you know what i mean!

Looking good! I did a 5 pack of short stuff Blue Himalayan diesel. Was pretty decent smoke so good luck.
And my mistakes with autos was not enough light and pot size cause they were always secondary to regs. They can do good yield if grown right.
I haven't followed a hydro setup with Autos yet so pulling up a chair.
