Well it all really depends on your lights. If you're using CFLs, they should be no more than 3 inches (preferably 2) from your plants at ALL TIMES. If you have poor air circulation and temps build up, then you will have to move them back, but after about 6 inches the amount of lumens hitting...

Well, I created a thread for autoflower info and it has really taken off. In just over 2 months it has almost 9,000 views and over 220 replies. Lots of pics, and lots of great info. I just hope it gets a sticky if/when an AF sub category surfaces :) The link is in my thread for those of...

In the picture the seedling is 7 days old. One thing with seedlings, taller is not always better. If its too much taller than mine and around the same age it may be stretched. Stretched plants will require tie downs or steaks once buds begin to form as the stem will be too long & skinny to...

Hey Jig Sorry for the late reply, missed your post somehow haha! Maybe we smoke too much? ...nah! Thanks for all the kind words, I have probably 3-4 grams left of the 2 girls and its still gettin better by the day. My wife was very happy to hear you liked her trim job, she worked very...

Yeah i found some stuff on that too. I think that has more to do with light stress. it seems to happen a lot to people who veg indoors then plant outdoors too early or late. The sun doesn't give the right amount of light per day and they get locked in veg state, growing fan leaves with only 3...

Well, in short, the reason you cannot clone an autoflowering strain is because it knows how old it is. A normal strain can be fooled to grow for a LOOOONG time under 13+ hours of light a day in a vegetative state. Autofloweing plants do not have a vegetation stage so if you cut a 30 day old...

Very good link, will have to keep that bookmarked for sure! So I have liftoff in my mini fridge with my Diesel Ryder SOG. 4 of my 20 seedlings didnt make it for various reasons. The rest are lookin very nice, just thought I would share a picture of one that has a funky mutation. It sprouted...

The light cycle is 100% your call. In my opinion, I would stick with 18/6 through the whole run if thats what you had planned on. If you planned to switch to 20/4 after sexing or something, that's fine too. I have found that it is better to try different things than to take someone else's...

Very awesome man, glad to hear it. Make sure those little seedlings dont dry out or they will burn up. If the cup still feels like it doesnt need water but the top layer is bone dry, spray them a few times with a water bottle. I went out of town and 4 of my 20 seeds dried up a bit too much...

Yeah I have never been real sure about the whole F1, F2, etc. stuff either. Based on a recent reading, I think the F1 is technically the first "satabilized" batch of seeds. Then you breed the healthiest male & female from that batch, you have F2, and so forth. Not 100% sure though, anyone...

True Evil, but with some stipulations. If you buy White Widow seeds, grow a female White Widow, and then pollinate it with an AF strain male, not very many of the seeds will actually be auto flowering. What you have to do is start a BUNCH of the seeds you got from the pollinated white widow to...

I have only used one method to germinate since Ive been growing and only 4 beans total (out of dozens) never cracked. I am willing to bet those 4 beans were just bad. -Take 3 paper towels layered together, fold in half once, twice, then three times. -Get the tap water nice & warm, but not...

ATX I actually typed up a few paragraphs on this for a few people over on ICMag recently. I am no pro by any means but a few first time growers kept asking about watering and no one was answering so I stepped up with what Ive learned. Here is how it went: "One quick note on watering for some...

Not at all man, I wouldnt have made an account if I wasnt up for sharing what I've learned! For soil I have just been using about a 5gal bucket full of Sunshine Mix (no nutrients in the mix) and I add 1cup of blood meal (nitrogen) and some extra perlite till I repot them. When repotting...

Dont know how I missed that the first time I read it, but that is freakin awesome man!! I am all about keepin em small in the mini fridge, but I would LOVE to start a few and end them in my large fridge in 10 inch pots. What size pots were you using at the end, and were they soil or hydro?? I...

Heya ATC, sorry Ive been out of town and haven't been able to respond. My first 2 batches they were on 20/4 every day, except for when I switched the mini fridge to 12/12 cuz I had some non AF plants in there I needed to sex. This time around I have the seedlings on 24/0, and as soon as they...

OK so I decided this thread is finished. The total weight after drying and removing all the large stems was 25g of bud. I think about 14g came off Daria, and 11g came off Ellie May. Not too shabby considering they were started under CFLs, spent 2 weeks on 12/12 so that some non AFs could...

Yeah they are totally stabilized. I did more reading and if you use a 100% DR male and breed it with a 100% DR female then 100% of the seeds should give you DR plants. This is actually exactly how the plants I started with were made. I pollinated one of them so technically my seeds are...

In short, Yes. The biggest problem is that when light can get to the moist area where your roots are growing, algae begins to form. I had 2 Diesel Ryders in transparent pots and one was 5.5" tall, the other was 6.75" tall at harvest!! They were WAY stunted and there was lots of algae growing...

Well here's the thing. I actually did a little reading on this and here's what I came up with. Originally the DRs from Joint Dr. were F1. I think now they claim they are F2, or people are misinformed who knows. The seeds I received were the product of a female & male diesel ryder my friend...
