im going to give mine another week as they look as tho there starting but this is my first grow. i read on a post summit about super auto's that take 120 days from seed to finish and they start to flower around day 40 so i might have them

What's a "super" auto? I thought the draw of auto's was that it only takes 60-75 from seed to harvest??

budolskie..
you are right on both points m8..
George Cervantes is talking about long-season girls..going asymetric..
(brilliant book though....like talking with your m8's about it...:leaf:)
AND..
we NEED an AF Specific grow book...

go with your gut-feeling ...
it certainly won't hurt them.

FD..we really need to talk through the sudden appearance of non-af af's...
Can't think it can be an AF reversion..or surely I would have seen it by now.
Can't be linked to one breeder..because they are coming from different seed sites..
and I can't say they are coming from a bad breeder..
because although they are not what they say on the packet..
they are all Good crosses...
so someone has done a lot of ground work...

ODD..no...?.....:|

See thats the thing none of us are asuming anything here its you who continues with short smart answers, thats not what we are here to promote. No one called you a noob here man, just talking in general, your so sensitive. The reason we dont believe is because the way that you talk. Its not all about one way to do this.

PS it wasnt a speach its the truth and if you would have paid close attention youd see BH grows in soil, as well as outdoor.

Why would I waste my time looking at his other plants after seeing those god awful ones he LSTed. My time is valuable.

Plants still going very well. A little worried that since I LST'ed my auto LA Diva I cannot get it growing up!! It is very wide and busy but nothing I do make it grow tall. Tried raising the light 2 foot above them and still very short?
Any ideas? Do they shoot up when they start flowering? They are 21 days old now so I imagine they should start flowering any day. On 24 hour lighting. Is this advisable for auto's or should I be 20/4 or 18/6?
THanks again for everyones help

That is the problem I have had with autos. They either grow okay, producing about a 1/4 to a 1/2 or they stay miniature and produce one little bud. They seem to be inconsistent. Right now I have one under a 400 watt in a #2 pot and am hoping to get it big. It is a week and a half old. Got my fingers crossed that it flowers later than sooner.

I will keep messing with them as they do produce good smoke, just small quantities for me so far. I have three budding skunk thai mixes flowering at the moment, so I will have enough to get me through a few generations of autos starting about next month.

Thank you for this thread. It has exposed a bunch of good information that will help me in my quest to figure the AF out.

Yeah i hate getting those runt phenos, good selction when making your own seeds sure does help this. I haven't seen a runt yet from snowryder F3's, few hundred in by now.

She is in the Huff with you...
(joke..)
you have put her through a Process..your LST..and she has responded with a small stop.

Once she has re-oriented herself..she will grow again.
In fact I would be surprised if she hasn't already.

IF she is still sulking..:-P

mix 5ml's of sugar into a pint of water..
dissolve..
then gives her a couple of drinks of it..
it normally gives them a jump start....:leaf:

In my opinion..
re-potting her now would Not improve her..
so don't put her through the stress.

IF you can only grow in small pots..FullD knows how to get Good yield from them.
(Better than Me...:leaf:..)

IF you can get bigger pots..then...IMO only...you will get better yield on the same pheno.

Never think small plant..small pot...
AF's are root-space greedy...
the more you can give them..the Fatter they get....:leaf:

Sounds like a plan to me...

you will be removing 50% of them within a week to 10 days..

Let us know how the 12/12 goes...:bigjoint:
