Here she is again! Grew about 1/2" last night and I counted 5 bud sites. Here are the 3 you can see. The other two are under the top leaves.
Side view of my lady. I planted her in the middle of the pot, but she likes the left side.
The only problem I have had with this grow is 3 abrasions like this one below. It was either heat stress or nute burn. I am not worried because it has never gotten any worse than this.

Thanks. She will be 3 weeks old tomorrow.
I use 20/4. The only difference is I went 20/4 from the start.

yeah, i do like 20/4, but for seeds and seedlings i prefer 24/0 seem to react more vigorously and they dont get as long/stretch, just fat

I hope we get some biguns!
And cheers! +rep for those who stuck it out!
I think yours isn't as bushy because we have different strains is all. But hey, what do I know?
You see my photo where I circled the bud sites? Should look just like those. 
Just got my first Auto strain going. Its a DinaFem Auto Haze. It was a freebie form attitude and its a very healthy plant. Right now its been around 2-3 weeks since germ and shes the same size as my SLH (same age) but with a little thicker of a stem,Shes probally around 6-8" and has 5 nodes so far. Im not to sure on what to expect from a auto flower but its looking damn good right now. Has anyone else tried Dinafems auto haze?
Thanks
Thanks

This is what autos can do. The 60 Day Wonder has really started to take off . Can't wait to see how all these strains progress. Nice plants everyone.

Nice (intimidating) stuff on here!
Napa - that is awsome!
Don't know about you folks,, but I'm really liking pics.
Here's a few for my update -
Roadrunner, DOB 9-24-2010, Alias; Ugly Betty
Been a buisy week for the ugly broad. Moved from the 250w HPS into the CFL tank.
Lighting - 2 42w reds & 2 23w blues. (or whatever they're suposed to be)
Nuted - (earlier) 1/2 tbl spoon ea. Big & Tiger Bloom w/ molassas (not sold on molassas though - testing)
More recently - put the hammer down (LOL) 2 tbls each Big & Tiger. Also oxygenating the water for 24 hrs. and adding 1/2 cup Peroxide in the end.
My Ph just insist on remaining at 6.8. Just added the under reflectors today (building up). Wish I could plumet the Ph down to around 6.4 or so,, but with the short grow time... ain't happening now.
Trying to maintain 76-78 deg. at the top. Much easier in this cab than the room by far. Temp control really seems to be important.
Oh, I FIMed a few days ago. I fear I'm going to run out of room here. I can only allow about 12 more inches before I'm in deep Do-Do! (I may FIM again for control at the possible expense of yeild.
) Next move will depend greatly on when sex shows. So far,, I've not seen any sex that I'd bank on.
Also,, I'm really impressed with the fortitude of this Dimafem seed! One persistant bitch to say the least.
Lot of concerns in the beginning,,, just proves, "Never say die". (don't quit on them!)
Win / loose / or draw,, I'm having fun and learning tons! Always thought Autos were a joke. Not worth even thinking about. Unfortunately if it wasn't for this game and the freeby from Attitude I'd still be dumb(er).
Thanks all (and Attitude too!)

You're right. Seems like the way to go and I did for awhile (some time ago).
Then I bought a light meter and found it didn't seem to be such a good idea after-all.
I'm not saying this is necessarily better at the top, but definately better (IMHO) all around. (I couldbe wrong,, but it seems to work well)
Here's what my theory was;
With the reflective top, end bulb light from 4, should equal a fair amount. Even higher lumens than other areas. Maybe not as high as one over top, but still stronger than the surrounding. with the bulbs off to the side the surrounding gets a greater percentage. But waite. CKLs have limited penetration! Need to be close! (Etc).
Noted also is the idea that new, fresh, growth doesn't actually need strong. Kind of in the same boat as a seedling in ways (maybe?).
Enter the Light Meter;
According to the meter, my theory was more correct than I realized.
Using the RapidTest 4 in 1, The center was still a slightly higher area of light. Surprisingly though, all around was nearly as bright down to 8" with this cab layout and the lights as they are shown. I'm certain the reflective materials have much to do with it. My light meter reading very closely approximate a slightly / hazy outdoor day with just these 4 bulbs. I will be changing them as we go along to increase penetration. Also have the ability to add 2 more in the oposing corners later.
Now, I don't know how it's going to work in the finishing flowering stages. But it has proven it's self past the mid point of flower already. Wasn't intended to flower, but the grow room wasn't finished as planed and had no choice on a prior grow.
