As some may have seen I ordered some seeds from crop king and out of 12 I kept 8 and sold 4. Of my 8, 6 are up and running. They 4 I sold all germinated so I'd say that's not to shabby. Now if they are all feminized as they are suppose to be I'll be looking good. I just ordered their white widow auto's if i time ito right get them going by the end of this week beginning if next ,the others should be at the end of veg. I'll harvest the white widow then put the white cookies into flower.
Let's see how bad I fuck this grow up! I have a hard time believing the amount the king claims their strains produce. Mainly because 250g is alot for an autobloom. Let alone that's alot for any beginner to get indoor with photo's.
So has anyone tried auto's out from ck Specifically white widow?

Those numbers are basically what someone with the skills and right gear can attain. You'd be better off expecting a third of that if you're a newer grower.

I in no way expectin to get 200g! I literally don't e,people to more than an oz. per. I've never grown but once and my first was a omelette failure. I got clones from a guy I thought I could trust that they were all the same and the other gave me clones the he cleaned pm off them then told me after I ripped my crop out 5 weeks early!! So this time I've sealed the room off completely from the outside exept for the exhaust and intake ports that have Heppa filters. I got some 10'×25' 2 of them, and went to closing the world out. I swear I went through 5 full rolls of gorilla tape! The only part that has me stumped as to what else I can do to seal it off is the door.
The entrance to the room is a 2' pocket door"a door that slides into the wall isteam of swinging in or out" so it's kinda tougher to seal it and still have access. So for now I have a towel rolled up for the base of the door.and one of those heavy ass moving blankets commercial grade shit, hanging on the outside of the door full length to the ground and a piece of cardboard that fits tight as a drum at the base of the outside under the blanket.
I may have gone to far, but I'm taking no chances this time i got at least 6 different preventitive cures for PM and spider mites, aso well as all new shit buckets,pans, water jugs, stands for the pots. Last time I rushed into shit this time not so much. But I've been wanting to try autos anyway, I've heard from friends who tried to and they all sucked. Looked ok but had no yank! So I'm not super optimistic about the quality but I'll try anything once, twice if it makes me money.

if youre growing auto and what a big yield look into training your plant autos dont usually like to be topped because they are on a tight schedule but some LSTing goes along way towards creating an even canopy!
Good luck post some pics too im thinking about running an autoflower soon they just seem so effin convenient.

I planned on attempting to train them, but as you said LST would be the way to go. Topping ive been told is again as u said a bad idea, but what about supercropping? That, if done right, will not take long before they recoup, as well as giving them a way to get more nutes and stronger branches. Just no to sure about how autos will respond to it

So i hope you can answer this, I have six seedlings two that are 9 days old from seed, and 4 that are 6 days from seed during their 18 I have them uncovered here is daytime temp and rh. But for their 6 i covert hem back to the dome till morning for warmth and humidity. Is this a bad practice?

if you're saying that day time for them is 78 degrees with 59% RH and then you put them in a dome for the night for humidity to rise and temps to be warmer.
I dont think this is bad practice but your temps and RH without dome are already pretty spot on so putting the dome on would make it like what 80-82 degrees with RH around 70%? Which is pretty good too.
Should be fine although the dark period I have always read should be a few degrees colder than the light period because night time is naturally cooler with the setting of the sun. I think you should be ok but i would try switching it putting the dome on during the day to have it slightly warmer and more humid and then take it off at night which is how it would be outside but thats just me
Your seedlings look pretty happy so far so dont fix what is not broken buuuuut......
It kinda looks like they are stretching for the light tho i would lower the light if possible or add s little stronger CFL to keep them short and squat.
Hope this helps:bigjoint:

and super cropping is still considered a from of HST the opposite of LST but it really depends how much you bend the plant usually HST shocks autos more than you should but im sure some people have tried it. like i said i havent messed around with an auto quite yet so hopefully someone else can chime in.
Hope this helps:bigjoint:
