hey guys.. gotta new grow going under a 400HPS light... i just started to germ 7 lowrider seeds and im looking for a good method to grow them ... i have done DWC my past two grows and both plants got freakin enormous.... it was a blueberry and a lowrider.. the lowrider got 2.5ft tall and 3 ft wide.. unfortuantly there was an accident last night and shes dead 3 weeks prior to harvesting :(

So im lookin for a good way to keep these lowriders short as hell... ide like them to look like big pieces of bud growing out of the ground.... so im thinkin ill throw some cfls in temporarily and maybe get a MH bulb... any other suggestions or comments appreciated

Im not sure but maybe you can scrog, maybe that'll keep em short and fat. will you have them at a 24/0 schedule?

they are auto flower so ill have them under 24/0 for the first few weeks and once they start to flower ill gradually put them into a 12/12 light schedule... im not sure what i can do with the auto flowerin buds yet

you are hurting yourself by putting autos on 24/0 and 12/12.. they do alot better under 20/4 there entire life. I dont know why ppl grow autos unless they just wanna grow em in a veg room w/ other plants.. And autos do not produce weed any faster than a normal plant when its all said and done.you can grow a normal plant and get better results in the same time frame and under less lights ( 12/12 vs 20/4 ) and save money on power,keep the plant small and flower early and you will get alot better results than with autos. Fuck autos..None of them are as potent as there regular counterparts ( IE - Auto AK vs reg AK etc etc ) .. The ruderail gene see's to that. The only time Autos are a good idea is if you want to grow some all the way to harvest in your veg room along with other vegging plants for shits and giggles. But thats just my opinion.

VERY VERY VERY VERY true. I've grown the auto ak47, and truthfully I gotta say I've had better MEXICAN BRICKWEED I mean the high is just a COMPLETE let down for the time put in. The true strains will knock your ass out man don't even waste time buying autos and also the minute something fucks up in your grow ie. nute burn, nute defficancy, ph problems, or anything else YOUR FUCKED for the rest of the grow. Stay away from the autos!!!!!

The big advantage of autoflowering strains is that you can carry an entire grow under just 1 light cycle. This is good for people who have a limited amount of space to use in their grows and can't have both a veg and flower space at the same time.

Autos provide the only way for perpetual growing with such limited space restrictions (ie SOG). That's their real advantage. They are also incredibly hard to f-up in growing. You have to go outta your way to kill these things. :mrgreen:

I disagree with the quality statements made earlier as I have had some very good auto strains (and some brickweed ones as well). But they will never be AS strong as their original strains that they are crossed from as a result of the ruderalis gene. However, they really haven't made the strongest auto strain yet. Seedbanks are only just turning their attention to these crosses and I'll be interested to see if they can make one with a consistent and solid reputation for being an excellent smoke. :cry:

For people considering growing autos, I would advise that you do so for the right reasons. Otherwise, you're probably just gonna wish you went with a regular strain.

i also disagree that autos are a bad thing. i am on my second grow and last time i got about an o and a half off each of my plants. real quality smoke my friends all stared at it like it was some crazy shit made me feel great. i grow in a 2x4 box i custom made with a 400w switchable light.

heres my question: i have a 400w light, first grow i got about 5oz off 3 plants, i understand that its fairly easy to get an HP with a 400w light, id like to know if people would say its possible to get a qp monthly(ish) by growing 8 plants 1 month apart from eachother, on 1 month intervals, and to get about an oz per plant.

what do people think about that? something thats doable?
