Hey guys I'm trying autoflowers for the first time as I did not have much luck with PhotoPeriod Plants I have 3 "EasyRyder" feminised from Joint Doctor and with my order they gave me 1 free Auto AK so I added another small pot to my grow box they are currently germinating from 7:00 pm GMT today and I will plant in soil Friday Night and lights will come on at 12:00am Saturday and they will begin there journey into beautiful girls.
i will not be topping, lollipopping, etc, the easyryders say they grow to around 50-70cm so I will not be LSTing them but I will be LSTing my Auto AK

Extra Info:

Miracle Grow - Moisture Control (50% less watering and ore nutes for 6 months)
EasyRyder (Auto AK x Lowryder #2)
Auto AK (AK-47 x Lowryder) I think
Homade growbox
200W CFL 6400K 8U 13000 Lumens

And input would be great I'm always ready to change my plan also I will be updating with pics often

Hey man looking forward to the EasyRyder... But yh you are going to definitely need more watts for 4xplants. As they are all auto you could stick to one spectrum(2700k) for the entire grow but a mixture would be better :) imo you will need atleast 200w per plant and keep them close to the plant, i prefer lots of smaller bulbs to distribute light better but thats just me :D
Please get rid of that miracle grow aswell, dont get me wrong, ive had mates use it with no problems but is it worth the risk? Get a medium with very little to NO nutes in as this will burn your plants in the early stages(add your nutes manually so everything is account for, no surprises)
Gett some fans in to keep it cool, also what are the dimensions of your space? Subbed!!:bigjoint:

yeh u want a 2700k for autos, if u got another 200w and just have them both on im sure they would go beastly. i got a 250w cfl red, im gonna be adding 4x 65w red cfls to go round the plant(s) for next time. Should be good! will be 500w alltogether next time. good luck keep posted with sexy pics

I'm thinking of using my 200W blue and buying a few 60W Red for the middle to bottom of the plant

Day 4 - hey guys its day 4 of growth and there's not too much to report they are quite bait slower than my other grow of photoperiod plants but none the less 3/4 of the seedlings have got the first 2 starter leaves on show and the other 4th I had to chuck out as the root got detached from the bean :/ I will be posting pics weekly unless there's something special to show you PS I will be LSTing all the plants for maximum Light on bud sites
