So many, I basically summed it up in that thread. I just got a bunch of cfls and clumped them together in my basement and I'll be putting my pe auto under them during the flowering night cycle and back under the hps during the day cycle, do you think the difference in light quality is going to cause any deformities or problems? This can only help right?

I too have moved plants from one room to another cause of others flowering and needing dark. i never seen any deformities or stress at all. less light intensity will just cause leggier growth. but its not like its consistently under that weaker light. what you should do is make the light schedule for the auto to be 18/6. this way it gets 12 of great light and a supplement of 6 more hours from the weaker source. the less time spent with weaker light source (& more with stronger)the more bud in the end in your situation. basically id rather 6 hours under cfl and 6 hours rest(no vertical growth during dark) to reduce stretching. also when under the cfl put the light just inches away

That sounds like a great plan, that sucker is getting to stretchy in there. By the time its flowering legit it'll be to tall to control since I topped it. Thinking about supercropping is that ok for an auto?

from what i read do not supper crop. autos need as minimal amount of stress as possible. just give it a good LST. low stress training. basically slowly easily bending branches

Should I bend it from the main stem or like how I have my OG13, I was thinking of tying it in between the interchanging nodes so the branches dont move so much to get to the lights. I was looking forward to making a spiral LST with that bagseed I had but it turned out to be a male.

i am going to bend my main stalk over so that all the underneath will show up. kinda like this but i think i can get it more even:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6t6DN6wfxw

Ya you can def. get it more even, I can see the top cola there sticking up on the side. I had my lst on the male going great until I noticed it growing naners, pulled it out and did some research on hash or bubble but ended up throwing it away. What can you do with male plants anyway?

just use it to breed. you will have hella seeds

Couldnt I get some pollen and put it on the lower part of the plant since they're gonna be popcorn buds anyway? Its not gonna take away potential from the top buds is it, and I just LST'd the auto hope it goes good with that, in another 2 hours I'll be putting it inside for the CFL's.

the only reason i wouldnt use the bottom is you want fully developed seeds. the bottom makes popcorn nugs so imagine the seeds in comparison as if they were up top. but yea collect pollen and brush on to one branch gently with no fan blowing. in a couple days youll see the white hairs turning brown , this means it took. now just mist water on the bud first then the rest of plant. water keeps the pollen from traveling when you turn fan back on. you will end up with hella seeds and sensemilla

I gotta figure out how to get some pollen, I took the male and put him to the side in my garage next to the tent but there were no developed pollen sacks or opened as far as Im concerned. I'll double check and give it a try, shouldnt I wait until she recovers or brush some on now if I can get any that is..?

Does anyone have any experience with 14/12 light schedule, after 2 weeks of flower you slowly give more time with light on but keep a consistant 12hours of darkness going, any thoughts on the matter?

More like 3 weeks, and then I put her under 12/12 a week ago. Don't know how much yield to expect, this is the first time I've grown this strain or used 2 gallon pots. I only have one grow under my belt
