I thought i would let you guys have a look at my progress so far, i have 3 auto flowering northern lights and 2 more just starting off, the biggest ones are 6 weeks old and are just going in to flower.

::::Equipment Using::::
Lights: 1x 150 Watt CFL Maxi-Bright [blue]
2x 55 Watt Small CFL [red]

Food: Generic Tomato Feed [only for 2 weeks], Tap water
L/Cycle: 18/6

I feed these plants tap water simply because here i live in england the tap water is almost spring water.
These seeds wich are from nirvana are meant to veg for 3 week then flower for 6-7 week but they did not show signs of flowering untill last week {5th week}, so im hoping they go for at least another 6 week there gonna be huge for autos.

Hi Badman, they are looking good :)

6 weeks is alot for autos, normaly they start flowering at 2-3weeks, so yeah, they may become big ones :)

Tomato feed would work just fine, was it meant for tomato formation? The same nutrients that feed tomato flowers/fruit feed cannabis flowers/fruit.
I would suggest using the 6500k bulb as well, unless you already are.
I would keep using the tomato food honestly, it's obviously meant for human consumption so it's just fine to use.
A lot of growers recommend a 20/4 time for autos, instead of 18/6, but it's your choice. And it's basically too late to swap back now.
Good job they look great, keep at it!

Replace that black plastic with White plastic/visqueen.
White trash bags will work good too.
White is basically the second best reflector you can get.
Reflective Mylar emergency blankets are deemed the best by most.
Just make sure the trash bags are tight instead of loose.
You'll notice the results in a week.

I'm guessing you mean DPC is the second best reflector? Well you may be right,
but White Visqueen is basically the same as White Trashbags. Of course cutting corners on setup is cutting corners on yield, but when you can avoid large spends, do it.

Yeah i totally agree there , but i would not go so low that i had to use bin bags, i got the DPC & Celotex/Extratherm of some builder i know, They are great at keeping heat in and also stopping the heat signature, My room is in the back of an old 8tonn lorry/truck so its pretty big.

That's so cool! Mind showing us some pics of the truck?
I want to get a little mitsubishi box truck and live in it.

And good that you got that stuff free, but the Black surfaces are eating up lots of your usable light.

Hahahahah I was expecting to see a functional truck, on wheels, in a garage somewhere.
But to see the box, laying in your backyard is priceless.
Way to go!

He's got a point, since it's outside that probably wasn't the best idea to share it with us, but thanks anyways. You can take them down if you want.
That's so cool!

HAHAHAHAHAHA so it's the family grow room?
That's effin' funny.

That's really cool though at the same time, just the role that the truck plays.
