I ordered their purple mazaar, out of the first 3 ive germed they all are puny little two leaves that form to about 2mm overall leaf span if you wanna call it that...and one died this morning after only 2 days above soil the other two look like they will follow the same fate.. I will keep informed on the other 7 im gonna soak them tonight.

Also I got Shorts Blue Himalaya Diesel and its doing better than fantastic I found a beautiful compact male with great flower/leaf ratio with nodes as close as 1/4" all the way up the main stem. and found a equal female and have already spot pollinated her so I can have some more, then I will cross my new female back to the original male (who is no longer with us) but his pollen is! So I gotta say im happy with shorts seeds. As for Flash.... I'll keep ya'll posted.
I have not been able to find anyone who is growing auto assassins except for me. And to be honest, I'm not doin a great job. Idk what I did to them, but all 4 are only an inch tall and they are almost a month old. They are green and healthy with 3 full sets of nodes, but they just arent growing for shit. If you wanna follow my thread to keep updated on them, please join me. Assassins are very new I guess...
 
iv just repotted 4 blue ryder n 4 diesel ryder.
they were started in biobizz light mix soil then iv transferred them into their final pots using 50% MG (nuted stuff) and 50% nice light top soil and a bit of light mix i had left over... 8 down 8 to go! im running outta space rapidly in the greenhouse iv got 9 mature regular plants in there too its getting a bit bushy!!

Anyone see my pics on page 334? What do you guys think?
They look very well formed and in good condition, nice and healthy. Not sure on yield as ive never grown before, but they look just slightly less bushy than some auto ak's I saw in a grow diary at the same age - these yielded an oz and a half, so id say you're about on track for the oz (but as kronic1989 says, expect less so as to not be dissapointed).

Few pics of my largest auto ak-47. 21 days old today.





Im very pleased with the amount of growth. Been suffering from some beginners issues, low humidity (and over use of a hand held humidifier) being the main one. Intrigued to see how things develop over the next couple of weeks now that they are clearly starting to bud.

Thanks alot for taking a look. I hoped for better growth. They didnt like the transplant and move to outside, stopped growing a few days. Also Ive seen a few other grows with the same "batch" of seeds, ordered from the same place at the same time. They are all the same pace with mine. And all look the same, even tho they are under very different light sources, and different soils.

Those plants you posted look freakin awesome. I saw them a while back. Where you get you your seeds Bigby? What soil?
 
looking good mate! just transplanted 4 blue and 4 diesel ryder into their final pots 8 more to do 2mo im running outta space rapidly with my 8 mature regulars aswell :)

Monster Freak Auto Ak47 at day 40ish. She is a whopping 3' tall
Obviously more Ak47 standard genetics in her hence the size and slower to flower.
I'm running a 18/6 light cycle, I'm guessing she will take longer as well. I hope to
get a 1/4 lb off her for our meds

The seeds were from 'lowlife', my parents got them for me from a headshop near where they live.

The soil im using is 'canna terra pro', and im really impressed with it. Light, airy, neutral ph, drains well - highly recommended.

hey guys quick ?. How do I know that my seedlings are ready to go under light(t-5) and when they are ready how long do i keep them under it until i make the switch to the HPS 18/6? I germed them and are in root riot cubes and just sprouted last night and are pretty tiny still but have come through the cube. Also along with when i put them under the light(t-5), how far away should the light be from the delicate lil honeys?? I dont want to fry them.

LR2"s are turning purple. They were planted 4/20 and I stunted them for a week before I was forced to transplant. They are only 5 or 6 inches tall. The pic in my avatar is the one that seems to be the farterest along and has the most purp. They smell like a skunks gym socks. Is this normal are is thier something wrong beside being to small? I will try to get a pic of the purp. tomorrow. The tips and edges of the sugar leaf and the top caylxes are def. purple.

closer the better. good rule of thum is feel her leaves if they feel warn the light is to close back it off a bit. i keep my 5t about 2-3 inchest away from my plants and am raiseing it every other day it seems. as far as when to switch to hps i raise mine under my 400 watt hps, the hole time. they never see my 5t. i use my 5t for my clones.

my lr2 turned purple, but i think its because my water was little colder than it should of been, what is your water temps, just wondering? and yes mine smelt just danky. get you higher than a kite, lol As for the hight . to me autos flower are unstable, some will be big some small, i believe its in the genetic of the strain. but thats my 2 cents..

thanks a lot guys!!! Man im amazed at how much info and im talking incredible info is in this thread and on RIU in general!!! and everybody is friendly and not an asshole to the new guys:mrgreen: hope ya'll have plentiful harvests!

Whats a good size pot to plant autos in? Im looking for a huge pot so they can grow an amazingly huge root system and get as big as they possibly can and of course grow as many buds- Would a 5gal be way to big? How about a 3gal? Or maybe should I just plant my non-auto AK-48s in the 5 gal buckets???
