hang in there, they will take off, i was real worried about mine, then they took off like crazy, they take a while to flower too, ignore all the time crap, read your plants and let them do their thing!! patience!

Well here is a pic from the 12th and one from the 16th. Not too bad for 4 days growth. I think they are picking up speed now. Still dont know what caused the delay.

Well they are looking pretty good. I gave them some big bloom and grow big and they loved it. I see pistols so will be switching to hps tomorrow. Ill get some pics up soon.

Ok here they are, they will go under the HPS tomorrow (day 25). They still look small to me, but this is also my first auto grow. At least they look pretty healthy, the one ez is still really small, but will just have to catch up under the hps.

Well things are lookin pretty good. They seem to have no problem taking 1/2 strength nutes, and are all female. I don't think I mentioned before that they are all feminized seeds. I'm gonna slowly increase the nutes and see what happens.

Here is a update. It's day 35 from seed and they are all growing good. A cool thing about the 3 la divas is they all look identical. All the branching and bud sites, they are like triplets. The ez's are doing the worst, one is all branched out really wide and buds are slow to form, but the 2nd ez is looking good, completely different than the first. Also the afgan, one is really small, and compact, while the 2nd one is taller are more branched out.
Already starting to see crystals on the bud sites, and they are starting to stink very nicely.
(on a side note, I harvested my 250watt cfl grow and got 323grams wet, some dank buds too. I cant wait to see what these auto's look like at harvest time, grown under 400watt hps.)

Well they dont look that good in the picture, but up close, man they look tastey.
I just fed them all tonight, and gave one of the divas some gravity, if she takes it well I'll give it to everyone.

Here is a pic of my favorite la diva, she has an 11inch cola, and is totally covered in trichs. Out of the 3 diva's I think I have 2 different phenos, one is smaller and more dense, less branching. While the other 2 have huge main colas and serveral branches with heavy tops and starting to turn purple. But they all smell like juicy fruit! They are sooo covered in bud, they have buds growing off the main stem at soil level!

Well I pulled them on day 60. The ez ryders could of gone longer but they were close enough. I got 617 grams of wet bud after a quick trim on 7 autos. This is the stickiest stuff I have ever trimmed, I had to scrape my scissors clean every 10 min. Overall I'm very happy with this grow, very easy and great yeild in only 60 from seed. I highly recommend the la diva, beautiful plant, purple hues and fruity smell combined with tons of trichs. And to anyone that says autos are not strong enough, this is the third time I have had to type this and its taken about 40 min after only 2 hits.
