Have any of you tried the Himalayan Blue Diesel? I ordered 10 of these and the TUDE tossed in a free lemon skunk and a rocklock.
I have 4 short rider, 1 Auto Blueberry feminized, 1 auto Hindu Kush regular, 1 Diesel Ryder, and 1 Cheese feminized under a 400 watt HPS. I started with the SR and found out that they are shit so I placed orders for real AF's. will be posting picks in a grow journal with 9 auto strains and hopefully will be seeding.

nice grow should be interesting ill be watching this i'm just finishing some fast bud at the moment they ain't very big but smell good and are nice and resin coated.
Can you share a few pictures with us, wouldn't mind seeing what they look like when done. How long did they take you from start to finish, what nutes did you use & what was the ammount you feed them? Also after cured a smoke report would be nice, thanks fir stopping by!

sorry can't post pics lost the lead to get them on the computer and to be honest i don't no how long they have taken i havn't kep't track i just watch them until they look done but for soil i used homebase own organic and added about 30% perlite i use biobizz bio grow from about the second set of leaves until about one week flowering then use bio bloom and now they are about done so am not using any nutes for the last 7 days.sorry about not having pics and not knowing how long it has been i normally keep track but its been a bit crazy for me at the mo with friends or what i thought where friends trying to get me done over and losing my license just been a bit fucked up at the mo but at least i gunna have some dope to smoke lol.

i used 5ml biobizz per liter of water started with 2ml for first few days of giving nutes.i will happily do a smoke report after dry and cure will not be able to for a couple of weeks though i think im choppin this friday then a couple weeks to dry and cure.i have actually smoked some from three plants but they where dryed in an oven stupid i know but was not my idea anyway it was not bad considering they where chopped early had to cos house was getting rewired,they where very skunky smelling tasted fruity and sweet kinda like redbull but not a strong taste probly cos of the oven.im looking forward to them after a a proper dry and bit of a cure about a week cure maybe more but don't think they will taste bad at all cos the oven was just daft also the high was good got me pretty baked obviously could be alot better when dryed normally.

Your babies look like my babies for the most part, mine are just slightly ahead of yours, and I mean ever so slightly, looking at you day 6 pic anyway. This is going to be great, both should finish at about the same time, will be great to compare bud shots.

Hey im growin 1 fast bud at the moment along with special kush and early widow. My FB is 3 weeks to a month old and she still isent showing any pistils yet? i grew a roadrunner b4 and by the second week she was already burstin with pistils... i wonder if this one plant is just a little behind since i read somewhere that the autoflowerign on this strain was 100%. She was on 20/4 for until 2 days ago that i switched the lighting in my tent to 12/12 for the other girls..
fyi: i grew most of the roadrunner under 12/12 and it yielded me about 15 grams. id be happy if this FB does the same so it can hold me down until my reg gurls are done.

Anybody had autos take a little longer than usual to start flower?

yep my white dwarfs took 2 months to start flowering and also my auto ak48 took about 6-7 weeks to start flowering.

unknownuk420 one of the reasons ur autos took that long is because they where outdoors. My fast bud has started putting out pistols at around 4 weeks indoors. I wonder how much longer its gonna take her to rippen up. Its deff not gonna be a 7 week grow like they say it is or even an 8 week one like my roadrunner grow unless it makes up a lot of ground this next 3 or 4 weeks. She is also pretty tall for being an auto, she has to be over a foot tall now and is almost as big as my special kush and bigger than my early widow... hope that means ill get a good yield..

Okay so it's been a little over a week since I updated my auto journal so here we go, I made quite a few different changes since my last post so I will break it down to all of you. I read up on CFL lights a little bit & noticed that I was using the wrong spectrum lighting so I decided to switch them to (4) 100w 5000k daylight bulbs instead of my (3) 2700k bulbs, this seemed to help out a lot. Bad news is before I switched the light spectrum 2 of my auto fast buds started to look a little sick, the leafs were starting to curl upward. I have pictures below to show you exactly what I mean. I don't remember exactly what day these pictures were taken but it was a little over a week ago.



Once they started too look like they were dieing I decided to go ahead a transplant them one last time into 3 gallon pots, I filled the bottom of each pot with miracle grow perlite to help the water drain better. I filled the rest of the pots with Ocean Forest & in the middle of the pot where plant being transplanted I used a little more Light Warrior. While I was cutting the party cups & transplanting I noticed that 3 of my autos did not have much root development, mainly on the fast buds, one of my big devils barely had roots also. I'm starting to think that these babies don't like the peat pellets that I used, either that or I should have mixed a little Ocean Forest into the party cups considering the Light Warrior doesn't have much nutes to feed the seedlings. I have been letting them sit in the 3 gallon pots hoping they would shake back but no sign's of life yet, if they don't make it I will probably replace them with other autos. I recently got some Purple Jems in the mail & a Flower Power, I also have a few other auto strains I'm considering doing. I'll keep you guys posted for more updates, until then here are a few other pictures taken on the same day as the two above. My autos are in dark time as we speak, as soon as they light up I'll post more pictures. They are looking pretty nice for the most part, I think I may have shocked one of them though during transplant.

WOW, after counting the days on the calendar they are older then I thought. I'm going to start giving them nutes in two more days, I'll post the feeding schedule then. Here is my basic setup for right now in my closet, I need to figure a better way to keep the light on the plants. May have to run to home depot tomorrow and build a box or something, I will post pictures when I figure something out. I don't think that the 3 autos that I have that are pretty much dead were getting enough light.





This is a picture of my best auto plant at the moment, it is a Big Devil. This was my smallest one at one time, now it is the biggest. Sorry for the quality of the pictures once again, using iPhone.




This is a picture of my other Big Devil that made it, this was my 2nd to smallest plant at one time. She is doing pretty healthy now, can't wait to hit these babies with some nutes and watch them start showing sex. Should be within the next few days hopefully, I'll take some HD pictures when that happens.





Here is a picture of my only Fast Bud that made it & sad to say I think this is the one that is stressed. She is way smaller then her other two sisters & is starting to have a set of leafs at the bottom turn yellow. Do you guys think it would be a good idea to give this one nutes yet since its stressed, I may give her a regular watering one last time before I start nuting.





Here are all my other autos that I think won't make it, what do you guys think? I'm pretty sure they are hopeless now but I don't want to pull them out too soon.

Sucks to see what happened to your plants, hope the healthy ones do good for you. And they might not turn hermie on you, but there is a good chance with so much stress and them being feminised. Good luck, and good growing. Maybe you will have better luck next time you try a grow with autos.
