Hey All,
Heres the deal....I've got a pretty big closet, never bothered to measure it cause it is more than big enough for my setup. I've got a 2 ft 2 bulb HO T5 putting out 10,000 lumens as well as 4 27 watt CFLs. I have 3 Sweet Seeds Fast Bud and 1 Lowlife Seeds Auto Hindu Kush autoflowers going right now as well as 1 Dutch Passion Skunk #11 which i got for free and am just vegging under 2 CFLs for now and will figure out what to do with soon. My fast buds are now 25 days old and the Hindu Kush is about 20... I think they are all starting to flower and seem to be doing well but this is my first real grow and am open to comments or suggestions. The first pic is of all 3 FB together, the second is of the auto Hindu Kush and the last two pics are of one of the FBs with a closeup.

So, I just watered and misted all the girls. I forgot to mention they are in foxfarm ocean forest and I have been watering with poland spring which it seems from my test has a good ph range for bud.I have not yet started any nutrients and am still debating it....can i grow them all the way through in the foxfarm?? Anyway I guess I'm talking to myself for now. More pics tomorrow.

Looks to me like it is time for nutrients, just about to start to lack. Just wondering why do you mist the plants? You should not do this when they are flowering because it will encourage bud mold. The plant will learn to live off of the foliar feeding, which is what misting is, may have better results if you just water the soil. But for no nutrients they look good. Good luck and happy growing.
You said you think they are starting to flower, what is your light schedule (how long is it on/off a day?)

Well I was misting them because I had heard that a daily misting will help to keep dust and shit off of them. What type/strength of nutrients would you recommend? The light schedule is 18/6 because they are autoflowers. And by flower i guess i meant they are showing sex? I will have more pictures up tomorrow and any more help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the kind words!

I was wondering if they were auto's i didn't notice if it said in the op. I do not grow in soil, so my nute recs are kinda useless, and awful expensive. I use Dutch Master Gold (A, B, Add .27, silica and zone) so i have a lot of money in nutrients, enough in fact i don't care to add it up, lol. I didn't see any pistils, but my monitor is not the best. They do look very healthy, but i can be of no help as i have never and probably never will grow any autos. Looking good though, good luck.

DM is not for the novice IMO, I suggest a good three part organic fert like FF, Roots, Humbolt etc...

No i totally agree, do not go spend several hundred dollars on dutch masters!!! I hate doing it, but i have shit dialed in, so its worth the scratch. I would go with something cheaper, less complex.

Ok....so after talking to the guy at the hydro shop I ended up coming home with some Dyna-Gro bloom and plan on watering with it at half strength tonight. This will be their first feeding. I'm pretty excited to see how they react!

So I have been giving my Sweet Seeds Fast Bud Autos Dynagro Bloom and they're loving it and really starting to take off. They look so good and Im so excited to see how their buds develop! They are about 45 days old I think. One is 3 ft tall and the others close to it! I am hoping for a harvest in the beginning of april!

Houston, we have Liftoff! Looking good, 3' Autos! Wow...haha...I've been wanting to play around with autos for a while now, but I just haven't gotten around to it...Just recently made my first seed order ever! Been growing bagseeds for so long...nice to have some genetics to play with. Keep up the good work, brother!

Thanks man, its my first real grow. Me and my girl tried with bag seeds through seedlings stage but trashed em when the genetics came in. the three are fastbud sweet seeds and we have two more behind em. Blue himalya diesel and lowlyfe hindu kush which are a few weeks behind. I highly recommend them all. No problems at all. The 3 you see pics of got a little taller than I expected, about four feet they are almost as tall as my girl friend. The kush and desiel are much smaller but very nice. They all are very leafy and seem to love the nutes even though some of the leaves have a little burn. where do u place your order from, weve been using the atttitude, they have a promo until the 8th. I just placed an order for 2 mi5 from short stuff and an easyryder by lowryder and it came with like 10 free real seed, really good ones too.

Ordered from attitude too, for the March promo, got 10 x reg Nirvana "Blue Mystic" and 5 x fem Barneys Farm "Dr Grinspoon"...Couldn't pass up all those free seeds either, and now I'm an addict. I can see myself placing orders once a month for every promo!!
