Lookin good man. I chose an auto-stain as well and theyre working out awesome. Short bushy ass plants! Just wondering. .Do you have a small fan blowing on these? Ive heard autostrains had problems with stem formation due to the fast growth. I would recommend getting one if you dont...ive had one one mine since day 1 and the stems are as think as my pinky finger lol Good luck!

yeah i do you cant see the van in the pic but it is just a basic fan that i picked up from target. nice i did notice that the stems were nice and thick.

Here are some new pictures of the ladies. they seem to be growing pretty well. i looked under the smartpots and there are tons of white roots poking out, i am really excited about that. LST is the shit. As you can see in the pic that i attached is the largest plant that i have. you can see all of the lower nodes growing up and becoming their own tops keeping the plant nice and short(the largest plant has at least 5 tops as of tonight). I gave them their first really lite does of neuts today, i went with sensi bloom A&B by advanced nutrients at 1/4 strength. i saw that they had started to show sex so i thought that they wouldnt mind.

SplifMcGee · May 2, 2011

i also switched out 2 of the 6500k bulbs for the 2700k bulbs, i saw that they started showing their sex so i thought it might be a good time. i also would not be mad if they decided to stretch out alittle cus of the 2700k bulbs.

She is responding well to LST. Can't wait to see her in later days..

SplifMcGee · May 4, 2011

got some new pics today. i believe that the plants are around day 23 and are on day 2 of 2700k lights. i think that they started to stretch alittle cus the bulb change. here are some new pics tell me what you think.

MaD420MaN · May 4, 2011

They are looking good. Are you putting them outside or keeping them inside?

If i can i will, at the moment i am in the process of finding a house, i am still in the dorms lol. i think outside would be nice, i will prob get a better yield if i do.

Hey man I don't know where you're located, but here on the westside I put mine outside earlier (a month ago) and I had to pull them back inside.
Just the concept of paying for seeds and not having them in my room any more seemed like a waste of money. Also the lighting outside is great its natural and all, but I found that 20/4 with cfls still provides better growth, partly due to the autoflowering characteristics.

thanks for the info. i thought that the suns power would far out-do any number of cfls. but if you have tried both and have better results indoor under cfls then i am stoked and thanks again for input.

You can do hella grows from CFL's. Just takes a good bit of bulbs and true watts. lol.

SplifMcGee · May 8, 2011

We shall soon see. The ladies are around a week into flower now and they have all stretched out a considerable amount. I have managed due to lst to keep a fairly even canopy. I have the lights about 2 inches away from all of the tops. I counted today and each plant has about 4-6 tops each. I started to prune them today clipping away all of the bottom growth that isn't getting direct light. This will hopefully divert my plants energy into just the top growth.

I recently got a job at a hydrostore woot. With my new acsess to materials I was thinking about trying out some bud hardeners because I know that with cfls the bud tends to be fairly airy has anybody tried this.

SplifMcGee · May 10, 2011

NEW PICS!!! i was able to see the plants last night and they seem to be doing pretty well. i gave them a half dose of sensi bloom a&b and a half dose of bud candy. I dont see anything wrong with them at the moment. I did start to super crop them last night, i clipped of all of the little growth that was not getting direct light. By doing this i hope to have my plant put all of its resources into the best nugs. Sorry i was only able to take 2 pics

SplifMcGee · May 15, 2011

just checked the plants today and they are looking pretty damn nice. there is a fairly noticible smell when you walk into the room now. I gave them a dose of some compost tea today and i am excited to see who they will respond to it. i think that i might switch over to general hyrdoponics floraduo because i got a huge free sample and i have heard that it is better then advanced. or at least for autos. the plants are starting to lay down the frost which i was not expecting this early or in this amount which i am glad to see. From looking at my plants today i am pretty confident that i should get around a half ounce at least per plant. I will post some pics soon so you guys can tell me what you think.

Chopping my 2nd lady tonight. I threw some more pictures up there too for people to check out. Your grow is going amazing as I can tell. Keep the good work up. I just germinated another lowryder 2 myself. These plants are amazing and I will order more of these beauties in the future as I progress on growing different types first. Even though it was my first grow though i really feel these are just such hardy ladies and wont fail as long as you give them attention.

jhod58vw · May 16, 2011

damn bro those are so pretty looking ladies very nice

foulplayer · May 16, 2011

SplifMcGee, grow is looking great! Ive been reading a LOT about autos and I am placing an order today at herbiespicknmix for Loweryder #2, Buddah Syrup and two more but having a hard time deciding on what to get.

guerillastyle · May 16, 2011

Yeah Splif I am glad that I pulled mine back indoors, rains been hitting hard, and I just chopped my first plant.
