This my 3rd year growing and 3rd time growing auto's. I've heard a lot of bad rumors surrounding Nirvana's autoflower selection lately so I'm crossing my fingers. I got this sweet little greenhouse Biglots had for just $20.

Medium-FF Happy Frog, lightened with 4/1 ratio of Vermiculite
Pots-2x 5 gallon buckets with 8 1/2" holes drilled for drainage
Pesticides/Fungicides-NEEM Oil and Safer brand sprays

What I've learned about growing autoflowers is that you need to get them into a large pot early on. As they grow to the size of their environment, so the larger the pot, the greater the yield

Wish I had that option of putting them 12/12. I've got a stealth dresser grow going on inside and already have the next occupents in veg right now and will be going in next. Sadly I also don't have much option of safe space in my yard if they don't auto for me, to keep them going the whole growing year. They'd get too big and tall... 5 gallon buckets are my largest containers I have and no money to invest on larger containers right now

Finally topped the 2 little ladies. The other 1 has finally started to show preflowers so I'm way excited now. I just hope the weather stays on the mild side throughout this grow. Since they're autoflower I'm now AS worried as if they were regular seeds, but still worry about heat stress or other factors to cause hermies. Today was expected to be a high of 90....already, but thankfully there was a bunch of wind and it didn't get much above 80

Not much to report really except that they've grown about 4" in 4 days since having taken a fishing trip for the past 4 days. Still haven't given any nutes, thankfully the FF Happy Frog mix is a rich enough mix I don't have to worry about feeding for about the 1st month(roughly). I made sure to take a few close ups of the tops and how they've begun to compensate.

As I aim to be as organic as possible with my soil, pesticides/fungicides. I forgot to inform you all about what nutes I'm using, General Organics "GO Box" is my weapon of choice. All vegan mixes except for 1, the Bio Marine feed which contains cold pressed squid.

To anyone not following my indoor grow, I have a photographic setback. There wont be any pics for about a month or more. Because my girlfriends 3 yr old son broke my camera. Found it under his bed with the shutter all collapsed in. My only hope of redemption is if it can be repaired due to the age of my comp and the windows systems required to run a new camera off the shelf. I have the XP edition that's just version behind what everything requires off walmarts and bestbuys shelves offer. OR.....if it can't be fixed then I'll be saving for several, several months to afford a new enough comp that can operate a new camera's program

I don't know what at temps are inside the greenhouse but outside has been in the high 70's to low 80's so far. I asked around the outdoor forum before starting this grow. So far everybody said the same thing in regards to my climate and greenhouses. So the leafs pointing high in the sky is normal, mostly due to the trapped humidity.

With my last outdoor grow last year both of my Kaya Golds started pointing upward when they started flowering.

Thanks Jeep4x44life. So far this is my second strain of auto's I've grown. My first order was Short Rider. Having over 20 seeds at my disposal last year due to a mix up with Nirvana Seeds. I only grew 6 of them and sold the rest to recoup expenses I didn't actually have to spend on so many seeds, especially with the square footage i have available. But having had many discussions with the seed banks I know JUST ABOUT every autoflower strain Attitude Seeds offers is good stuff. Especially their Auto Himalayan Kusk, it was highly recommended by them and by several people here.
