yes but NINOLUPA you still dont get to choose what it is though, how leafy it is or have any controll over how its grown! i dont see how its so crap nower days, when i used to see my man 3 years ago b4 he went away he always had 3 or 4 choices of what you could buy and it smelt like this supposed high grade shit people are offering now which is just normal stuff really! i refuse to pay £10 a gram!

How long did you veg for,are they autos,if so how long from start to finish?sorry for all the questions im a first timer and interested,thanks for the advice but took alot of the fan leaves off after reading to do so maybe a bad idea could be another reason for the long flowering time,should i flush and stay off the nutes for a bit?its always hard to say better or worse alot of old schools on here would tell you to stick with hps but i like cfl's, there better if your paranoid to lol and they are becoming so advanced now i use 2 65W blue spectrum for veg and 2 65W red spectrum for flower and my plants seem extremely happy under them, im only doing one at mo, i started with 2 but one was hermie
im growing himalaya blue diesel from short stuff seeds, supposedly a very high couch lock stone but ive not tried it before. i also have some onyx and auto assasin in the pipe line 2 exciting new strains also from short stuff and i have an AK47 but im nervous to start the AK as ive herd it stinks and i have no option to vent.
If you have over done it with nitrogen try cutting off the very tips of the big shade leaves dont remove the whole leafe as some people would recomend as this is crazy because they act as a huge solar pannel for the plant but cutting just the tips for some strange reason really works, i over done it on N and someone on here suggested it, i was shocked at how much happier she looked after just a few hours!!!
I have included some pics of my grow (3 weeks into flowering) and a pik of my cfl, Its huge lol equivilent to 325W standard bulb!

yes i would flush them, i put mine in the bath, it is recomended 3 litres of water to every litre of soil but i only flushed mine with 3 litres in total, it didnt do much but maybe its because i read the 3 to one ratio after i did it and i have a 15 litre pot, i dont like the idea of removing leaves, they soak up the light your plants need plus they have the largest surface area to take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen, people think they block out light to lower buds but alot of the green spectrum that the buds like actualy passes through the shade leaves but the human eye cannot see the green spectrum so it looks shaded to us.
i didnt veg as its an auto and autos take around 8 to 10 weeks from seed to harvest, you put them on a 20/4 light cycle and dont change it. i have done normal plants before, i did big bud, i veged for 6 weeks (you can do it for as little as three depending how big you want them)then flowered for 8 to 10 atleast that was the plan but i did 3 grows all male hence the reason i changed to femenized seeds and decided to try auto flowers when buying the seeds its just quicker and easier, what kind of set up do you have?

I have 600w hps in a cool tube with a 5inch fan with carbon filter for the heat and the smell,4" intake an an oscillating fan in a 1.2mx1.2mx2m high budbox.I start 4 fem ww but 1 was male so i have 3 that were veged for 2 months and are now monsters 8 weeks into flower,i have been using ionic nutes and things were going great but the last two weeks have been using overdrive and now plants look stragley,thats why i think i od them on notrogen,hope things turn out ok for my first grow,thinking of trying autos next time round,have you done a few grows with autos is it easier?what sort of yeild per plant?im off to amsterdam in a couple of months so might keep my eyes open for good seeds what do you suggest?

Hi all another Northerner here, just joined the site after looking for some decent info on the auto flowering strains, i used to do a fair bit of growing myself but it was difficult where i lived, gave up after harvest one year when my Power Plant strain decided to grow to like 8 feet and the main cola was peering over my garden wall lol, oops.
Anyway i'm getting so fucked off with the amount of weak, wet, sprayed, sugared or anything else wrong with gish in this country that i have been looking into these auto flowering plants i keep hearing about and they look awesome!! 1-2 feet high and auto flower on 20/4 photoperiod... in a cupboard with a load of 40w CFL's, yes please, will post some pics when i get it all setup this week.

This is my first grow with autos an u can get an average of about an oz per plant not massive but you can get more in a smaller space! Less time to 8 to 10 weeks seed to harvest which is good if your impatient like me lol but it also means less time for things to go wrong. Autos have come along way and were on 3rd and 4th generation now just read carfully and u should get some really nice strains! Another bonus is u dont change the light patten so u set up and go and b4 u know it u have some swwet bud, try pik n mix seeds and get 1 or 2 of strains, my recomendation is onyx by shortstuff look for it and have a read, it sounds amazing!
By the way dont chabge ur set up, it sounds better than mine!

Ah ha, the infamous mr west, please tell me a bit about coco, i have my grow room to a level i am happy with with my current situation and i want to start experimenting with my growing medium. Someone suggested coco and said ur the best person to ask about it. What is it, do i need to feed nutes when using it and do i need to mix anything with it etc? Thanks.

Been reading up on autos and what im reading ia all good,going to give it a try if my ww girls ever finish,its been a long haul,could be on my 2nd grow of autos by now,what nutes are you using?
mr west
Well-Known Member
well dunno bout infamouse but as far as coco is concerned I like to use the canna range of products right from the medium its self to the boosting nutes. Its pot ponics if u buy the coco nutes from canna its dead easy u dunt even have to ph down after tyhe feeds gone in its just right for tap water with a ph of bout 7.8 u end up with it bout 5.5. I also use bat guano tea at certain points in the grow depending if they want it

Try a trash can or something of the like. When your plant starts budding it will create so much condensation under a bag it will cause you allsorts of problems! Bud Rot ect...
