ok so i got a question for the fokes with a little more experience with autos, ok so my Diesel Ryders are about 47 days in, and im noticing roots are starting to come out of the bottom of the pots...at this stage in tha game would transplanting do more harm than good?

transplanting would be a mistake... Big stunting... You dont want big stunting right a critical time like flowering..

I have a stubborn snowryder that has fought through LST and is still stretching upwards. what do you guys think about intentionally heat stressing her to get her stubborn bitch ass to settle down on a height? I still have my old CFL rubbermaid setup, so I think if I throw one of my 150w HPS' in there for a day it'll cook around 93-96*. If I sustain that for 12-18 hours you think it will be enough to stunt her vertical growth?
not sure on this but I don't think that will stunt her like ur hoping... but theres only 1 way to find out! lol

They're getting there. What color are the trichomes?

Looks to me like you've got a ways to go yet..

they are almost there... but not sure exactly... really need to magnify at least 10x and look at trichomes... 50% clear / 50% cloudy is best buzz (IMO) Let it go longer than that and it turns into a "sleepy" high

a couple more days to a week would be my guess just lookin tho

Question....I just placed my order for some Purple Jems and I plan on growing in hempy buckets. Can these be topped for a higher yield or will they do better if I lst them? I am also hoping for a male so I can pollinate for some seeds for future use. I have never done this before so any pointers would be greatly appreciated....

NEVER top an Auto... always use LST for autos.... too short a life span to take being topped and rebuilding before budding... at least thats what I've picked up along the way... I've not yet successfully produced an auto run.. but I'm 25 days in and crankin'!

If you go back 3 or 4 pages you'll see a posting on the basics... root space light etc... but I know you've been in and out of this thread for a while... so I would think you'd be good to go... tune into the thread daily as we're always discussing techniques / tactics...
root space and adequate intensity and photoperiod of lighting are the essentials... 18/6 to 20/4 is reccomended right through

I think I might run a couple controls when i do the next 21 flip... like one in one of mny starter pots and one in a couple different lengths pvc (was thinking that too dude! [harry larry]) ... I'll keep all same light an nutes (in same closet) and see if there's a difference in flower time
Sounds like a plan Man....
