mine didnt auto either, same strain, had to force em into 12/12. Don't think they the best example of an auto. lets hope the WW and big devil is a little bit better after these finish off
How far along are yours? Have you got any photo's for comparison

Well..I'm naturally evil..and the DC is a synergist..Ha ha riiiiight for some reason i dont see that, well maybe only when you post those DC ladies
Bet you tell me to harvest on milky next time..not go to ambers.
Funny enough there is a similar pheno in JEM..I used to call it Trouble...

Exactly, and i hate seeing all of this happening to all these guys wanting to try autos. Its aggravating.
A guy named masakrator is the one that posted it from the other site......
Ill admit i troll over there now and then to see whats going on..... this has been the only thing that i found that was "new" over there
and i am the same way id love to play around with this line to see if i can get one in color
BUT it will be a wonderful asset to someone wanting stealth in the OD

Oh..I think she will shine m8...
you will not be disappointed in her..
But..she is not what you bought her for.
Bring us a smell description when she starts to go..
I Think these were the cross that said they were low odour
but the NL's I have smelled were Stink monsters that made you go weak at the knees with desire.
BTW..FullD...
what did you think of that instruction...16/8....EH...?
doesn't make sense.

Will do m8. To be honest, she's been stinking my room up for a while now already!
Quote from Nirvana website:
using a 24/0 light cycle. The fact that auto-flowerers are not photo period dependent, like regular cannabis plants are, does not mean that being bathed in light 24/7 is right for them. Many growers make the mistake of thinking plants need to be exposed to light as much as possible to grow bigger, when the dark period is actually when plants use that built-up light energy to develop roots and leaves. (obviously, using a dark period also means far lower electricity bills and heat output). Solution: switch to an 18/6 or even 16/8 light cycle.

5 nl's in a nft. i did have few minor newbie first grow problems so probabaly put em back a little. but it all a learning curve they doing well at moment tho
They look to be doing well. Mine went into soil on Oct 1st so about the same age.
I only vegged for about 3 weeks tho. Once i saw no sign of flowering I changed the lighting to induce.
Quick question
For my next attempt, the short riders i got as compo from Nirvana, What would be a sensible number of plants to grow in a dr60 tent (60cmx60cm) under a 125w cfl?
Should i just carry on one at a time or get a bigger tub and pop 2 or 3 in?

Nice see mother nature is working for you now rather than slapping you in the face. More time to spend with your circle of friends
Well..I'm naturally evil..and the DC is a synergist..

Nah your more entertaining this way, not to say you never were
keep them at amber
Funny enough there is a similar pheno in JEM..I used to call it Trouble...
See its you that drives the madness, now your telling me there is one in JEM like that. Now not only do i have to look for the color and incense but now trouble.
I love a good challenge though
Not at all actually, i didnt see that in the post my mind red 18/6 when i saw it lol
See this is what leads me to believe they came from either an unknown source in order to jump on the push of autos or really bad breeding skills and had a buch of females tainted with long season pollen. Something here is just not right.

this is a load of bull to me. Its kinda like "here is what you should do, but you can also do what ever the hell you want."
This is why i started this thread in the beginning to get the right info out there. I may not be the best grower but i like to share what has worked for me.

What would you suggest as being the ideal light cycle for an auto? There are people that say 24/0 is best, then someone else will say 18/6...
For someone new to the whole thing (like me) it can get very confusing as to know what is best

MR. POSTMAN JUST DELIVERED MY BEANS!!! Do you guys see any problems with me germinating in whole SPHAGNUM MOSS?

sounds to me homie you have some work to do.

The work is done. Hopefully in 2 days I will be putting them in their permanent abode. I think this MOSS is going to work great for germinating.. this stuff retains water like a mofo.
One of the UFO's was pretty much just a hollow shell. Oh well, I can't complain much about a freebie. I just wish the other UFO's were autos too.

Thanks m8. That makes things clearer.
Did you see my earlier question about what would be a sensible number of short riders to put in a 60cmx60cm grow tent under a 125w cfl?
I know you've said before that the roots are really important on auto's, and obviously lighting is an issue, but if i had a tub say 50cmx50cm, how many plants could be kept happy in that enviroment?

Any time man
as far as how many go into the area i am not sure
I have seen Mossy grow SEVERAL in a 20l pot
so i am sure that there could be quite a few.
i have 6 under a 250watt HPS but i really could add 4 more to the space
but i want the ones under there to get the majority of the light
so i try not to over do it. Now once i switch rooms im gonna got to 600 maybe 1000 HPS but thats a whole new ball game.
I figure you could do 4-5 and have decent yields, and from what i can tell autos in the same pot love the competition they get growing together. Almost as if they want to out produce each other, and if thats the case i am OK with that
I have my autos on 24 hour light. They have been since the beginning and they are flowering great on 24 hour light to. I think if you get a good breed/strain of auto 24 hour light is best. I have pics of mine a few pages back and people seem to think they are very good so I guess 24 hour light must be doing them more good than bad
