Welcome back Nugs, I guess I missed the post where you said you were going to be gone... oh well, the thread is alive.
I think I would LST or top to make up for that stretch?

thanks guys...yes, alive and well...everyone should post a current pic of their garden...i haven't tried LST or topping with auto's yet, so i'm gonna research a bit and see if it works...anybody got any idea on this?? i'm yet to ever try LST, so this might be a perfect time for a little experiment...

It makes sense that LST would work on autoflowering plants, but from what i've read topping won't work cause they have such a short lifecycle and there wouldn't be time to regrow another top...some folks think there's no time to train what so ever.....what you guys think bout all this??

I forgot to water for a few days and the leaves dryed up.
I think I have a couple of weeks to go.
I have some Dutch Passion WW on the way that'll be next after my this bagseed.

welcome back... hope your trip was good... girls are looking nice.. cant believe they have grown so much.. 
it makes sense why you cant really prune them.. there isnt much you can do to them at all.. maybe FIM them.. but thats about all i could see... possibly super crop... i bet that would work best of all.. very little if any recoup time with really good results...
heres a pic of my garden... 3 of the plants you see are going do to them being males.. if you look close there are 3 small plants on the left row and i am germing 5 new seeds to place in the empty sites ill have to fill the garden.. but here are my girls at 3.5 weeks.. well the large ones are at least... the smaller plants are 1.5 weeks...

i hadn't thought about super cropping, good idea...i tried that for the first time on my last grow, i really liked the results..i got a higher yield cause of the even canopy...
i'm really digging your garden man, super clean, pro looking...nice work...

yeah i feel ya, the payoff is worth way more than all the work!! i enjoy doing every minute of it...
in my next house i'm planning on going a bit bigger like you, maybe a whole bedroom dedicated to growing, and then section it off so i can have separate veg and flowering areas...or maybe just go a whole room of auto's, hahaha, either would be awesome!

thats what i did.. my grow room is a converted bedroom.. built a wall to seperate veg from flower.. but i need to finish equipment purchasing.. i think its around 4000 or so worth of shit to get yet.. which is funny because the flower room is going to be 4x1000w hps lamps.. anyways... it'd be cool if you stick with the autos just set a whole bedroom up with no divider and have 4 seperate auto grows started 2 weeks apart.. so you will have a harvest every 2 weeks (assuming you stay on schedule), and plenty of room to make each harvest nice and fat.. just gotta keep up on the seeds.. but you can convert a closet into a pollination chamber if you wanted to keep your seeds a coming.. just an idea

yeah man, that sounds fucking perfect for me!! a whole room full of auto's with multiple lights for a perpetual crop...oh i dream of that, i hate having to wait months in between harvests...hopefully my female dr i pollenated will produce a couple hundred fully auto seeds, then i'll be set...
happy growing everyone...

i like the setup. Im gonna follow this for sure. i have 3 feminized easyryders , and 3 fem auto ak's on the way and Im about to buy my light. Im kind of stressed for space because they're going in a hollowed out dresser. Have you tried growing autos with a 250 watt or did you use a 400 both times?

thanks alot man, glad to have ya in for the ride! you'll love the auto's, the growth is unreal...all i have used is my 400 mh/hps, but i'm sure that 250 will do just fine to keep em small, also smaller pots will keep the size down...and lastly, the closer you can keep the light, the less stretching between nodes...i decided to put my diesel ryder lady, one of the gals i started late and the only one left in the mc'ds cup, outside right next to the other male in the cup...just to have another option for auto seeds, i'll take good care of em and they get good sun right beside my house, hidden amongst the weeds, haha....later fellas...

appreciate that...i got a feeling this grow is gonna be my biggest yield yet...i think 12/12 from seed is only good with certain strains and when you have enough room...this time im running 18/6 the entire grow cause auto's thrive under that...
glad you're back in the fold dude...you got any plants goin now??

Yup, them ruderalis are pretty special! What's the yield per plant like?
And I've gotta say the BHO from looks pretty sweet too! will have to try it someday
I've just started my 2nd grow over 2 weeks ago. 4 strains; 2 from seeds and 2 from clones (21 plants in total). Also added another Homebox as I wanna give perpetual growing a try.
I don't wanna hijack your journal so just checkout the link in my sig!
I'm definitely gonna keep a close eye on this grow! good vibes here.

oh yeah, you're right bout that! there's different pheno's, some 1/2 oz, most 1 oz, and then few monsters that easily do 2 and over...that's with the diesel ryder, with this easy ryder i'm tryin for the first time, apparantly cats get over 2 oz per plant all the time...Yup, them ruderalis are pretty special!
