Autoflower Thread & Resource Guide

evening growers ;) mind if i drop a vid of my greenhouse big bang autos ;)................................................ .[video=youtube;u_lXNUdnahY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_lXNUdnahY[/video]
 
thanx mantz ;) good to see you, my journals in my sig. ive got a sc scrog lst'ing atm but thats not for this thread ( fem nt auto ) ;)
 
Good Evening and Hi, :weed::weed: Am a noob,but having read some of this (looong) thread,thought i would throw in a pennies worth,
Ok here goes...

Plant: Pandora-Paradise Seeds
Lighting: 200W Blue CFL initially,add 250 Red CFL after 3 Weeks,when flowering replace 200W Blue with another 250W Red and a 50W CFL micro Red for underlighting.
Soil: Canna Plus with added micro-orgs,20% polystyrene ball-bearings
Nutes:Bio-Grow,Bio-Bloom,Maxi-crop
Pots: 10"

This is the first time using AF's so am looking forward to the results having heard pros and cons,previously had great results with Super Skunk using this set-up,minimum heat and maintenance,

The Pandora's a strange beast indeed,and growing at an incredible rate..everywhere..Germinated 6 weeks ago and now 8" tall by 8" wide, Side shoots did not get picked off and looks like a mini full grown bush-no xmas trees here ;)

I am coming to the conclusion that AF's and CFL's could be a great solution for small enviro-friendly,organic gardens so long as yield is not as important as flavour and taste,
Will post Pics when figure out how to do it LOL

glad to have you along :) sounds like a good plan. cfl's are great for small space / low cost grows ;) some autos yeild 2 1/2 oz if you can find them ;)
 
Here's a Snowryder I chopped the other day. The cola alone will get me close to 1 oz. when dried. I avg. about 2 1/4 - 2 1/2 oz. in a 2 gallon pot. I also included some pics of 2 more 1 is 2 wks from harvest the other 4 wks.

................................proof is in the pics ;) +rep nice shots
 
expecteted yeild is 1 1/2 per plant ( according to breaders specs ) but we will see, i just want some big bang. next vid update tomorrow with budshots under mag ;)
 
7th pic had me cracking up..hahaha...AWESOME shots my man. I swear, these AF strains are appealing to me more and more everyday! Thinking of the Dinafem Critical Jack auto.
 
pakalolo, what size light are you using bro? Whats the smallest t5 light I can use and still get some decent yields? got a 1000w hps in my tent, but wanna do some AF's on the side. Might have to go light shopping...

i was thinking a t5 might go nice in my collection also ;) im on looking about ;)
 
The smallest I run is a 2' 4 bulb T-5 96 watts. If I put 1 - 2 gallon pot under it I can achieve 2oz.+

The other T-5 I run is a 4' 6 bulb 324 watts. I can fit 3 2 gallon pots under it in my space, with 2 - 1 gallon pots also, this would be max. I try to run 3 in seperate stages right now under the 4', with seedlings under the 2', using 420 total watts!!!

with the total 420 watts, 1 full run of 4 plants I produce 9+ oz. in 10 wks from seed to harvest.

My floor space is 22" x 6'

Thats pretty awesome man! So I guess the 4ft 8 lamp VHO fixture I just ordered may be a lil overkill?? haha....I got the room for it so figured wth....
 
Just today got in 3 Dutch Passion "Think Different" and 3 Dutch Passion "Auto Mazar"
I got 5 Ultra Lemon haze Auto's growing outside at the moment... they are about 1-3 weeks from finishing, outside they take about 90 days. The plants looks great, 1 really did a very nice main cola stretch, I had 1 that spent entire life outside and will be done within a week and is absolutely awesome, if the other finish out like this one I expect at least 3-5 zips per plant. I was worried as frostiness was kinda light, but in past few days they are starting to pack on the trich's.
 
Here's a Snowryder I chopped the other day. The cola alone will get me close to 1 oz. when dried. I avg. about 2 1/4 - 2 1/2 oz. in a 2 gallon pot. I also included some pics of 2 more 1 is 2 wks from harvest the other 4 wks.

I weighed up the Snowrder last night, she came in .2 under 2 1/4 oz. for a total of 62.8 grams. I also transplanted the seedlings directly into larger pots. I had 5 of 6 being female, so 4 went into 2 gallon pots and 1 into a 1 gallon. When the roots were exposed I sprayed them directly with a solution of Maxicrop soluble and Mycogrow pH'd to 6.5. I see no sign of transplant shock, that afternoon all leaves were perky and not drooping, signs of growth are apparent today.

1 week to go on the other girl and 3.5 for one behind her. Updated pics. tomorrow.
 
..............................if youve got the room then .........................;)
Lamp came in the other day and so far its badass! Got a few clones of mixed strains under it right now (sage, kushage, blue widow to name a few) and my auto seeds are on their way!!
 
Here are the Photo's I promised. Sorry I thought I posted but didn't so here they are. Some from last week and some from 2 days ago.
