Hey thanks guys.

I have 2x 400w hps and a small florescent shop light on the table for underlight.
I started 12/12 after they showed sex 22 days from seed.
They are 68 days from seed. Had to revise my earlier pst after I realized I put my last update date.
My whole grow with these seeds are chronicled in this thread from page 11 on.

11102010_010.jpg I am not very satisfied with the yield, and they took so long to grow. My opinion on Nirvana's Autoflowering Strains is well, they are a rip off, Lowryder finishes in around 65 days where here it is Nov. 12 and I started my grow three months ago, I could have finished two Lowryder crops in the the time it took to get these damn Nirvana AF to finish. All in all, don't buy Autoflowering strains from Nirvana, stick to good old fashion feminised seeds. I take this as a lesson learned, I can say however the amount of bud I did get looks fabulous and mouth watering, so I am happy with what I got, plus this is also my first sucessful grow as well, last grow I ended up with 3 males!

:leaf:hell yeah man, 4 out of 5 germed 1 was a hermie and none of them was auto at all, like you said a rip off, i am pleased with how they turned out, very compact and take to UV very well, lots of crystals all over the bud, one plant got way bigger than the rest and seems to be yielding more or is going to, i'll put some pics up later tonight, fuck the auto's!!!!:weed:

Hey one. Nice pics. I can see that your colas are growing nicely. One small problem you got: not enough soil. That 20 gal tote might have enough soil if it was full to the top, but half full, those roots do not have enough room to grow for sure! I suggest you trim those roots and fill that tote full with soil. Your plant is showing all kind of signs of inhibited growth: short stalk, no sub branches, short stems on fan leaves. The next symptom is bud growth stops! You dont want that bro.

i'm not sure why this one is doing better than the other 3. ive done exactly the same to all 4.She looks like shes been swelling or starting, i cant tell lol As you can see the other 3 are more yellowing than this one but this one has way bigger buds, i dont get it LOL Can anyone tell me when i should start flushing? Do they look close to chop chop?
 
Alright there everyone,
Here's an update on my NL. I'm at day 43 now and have been flowering for 3 weeks. I did start flowering on 12/12 as she wasn't showing any signs of moving on but having read a few threads about that lowering yield i decided to go 16/8 instead and gave her a little bit of sulphate of potash to help things along. Seemed to do the trick as she's going nice now.
I've also LST'd her and she's responded real well to that.
Here's some pics, comments welcomed

BTW, just a quick word about Nirvana. I notice some people have said some bad things about them, but for me - although my auto's haven't auto'd - i cannot say anything bad about them. I sent them a ticket re. the AF problem and i got a prompt reply apologising, saying they will flower but couldn't be sure how long it would take and saying they'd send me out some short riders as compo. 3 days later they dropped onto my door mat, excellent customer service and i WILL definately buy from them again:leaf:

Yeah, that is strange.
IMO number 2 and 4 are not far off. I'm no expert as this is my first grow, but i've read that once you get about 70% of the hairs going brown it's time to crop. If you leave it too long, THC % starts to go down.
