KUSH ... im growin auto hindu kush rite now ..Ight AF growers here are sum pics of my snowryder girl at 8weeks i order 5 fem seeds my first i wasn't happy wit really fucked her up, 1 sprouted then died, 2never sprouted.. So my last did it for me she is really branchy i counted 10 long branches and one big cola shes comin in at 14'' and takin all challengers!
My last hated nutes but it could have been caused my high ph, I had to upgrade every thing light wend up to an 200 watt cfl with reflector, organic soil (roots), an hat to get a digi ph tester. And it turned out great for me i bet would have been better i i had a better light but will do. Shes very stealth only strong when you touch her.. it says shes a 10week girl might go with 9 idk yet.. Ill b sure to post harvest...
Question i ordered more fem snowryder and short stuff is giving 2 free fem KUSH seed has anyone given this strain a try? how was it?
KB, they sprouted on 1-16, went under HID on 1-23. So they are right around 60 days. (Out o' curiousity, do you count from day of sprout, or from the day that a viable seedling went goes into a system, or pot?)Same questions keep getting asked guys. This is a HUGE thread now, just search for LST, topping, trimming, etc. before asking please.
To answer though, since Im already here.........
Yes you can LST autos. I have done so on occasion, look back a few pages for an example. You do not want to top, trim, fim or pinch an auto. It wont kill it but it will stunt it and since they start flowering right away, it wont have a lot of time to recover. If you have to keep them short, I recommend small pots. If that doesnt work, LST. If you have an AF that is a monster I suppose top it, but they are few and far between. Pretty much, if you dont have the height to grow the average AF strain, you need more height to grow. Crazy things can and have been done, but with less than average to average knowledge, you better stick with what works well, and reeeeeaaaaaally short cabs usually do not.
SH2H - Hey man plants are looking tasty!! When did you plant them again? It just doesnt look to me like next weekend would do, they look like they need a good 2+ weeks still from the pics. Are there more read/brown (dead) hairs than white ones or the other way around? Also, do ya have a magnifying glass or jewelers loupe to look at the trichomes? Never pull based on how old they are, always let the plant tell you when its time And in those last pics, they are sayin to me "No KB, we wanna live a bit longer. See our pretty green leaves and luscious white hairs? Were too young to die!!"

It looks like the soil wasn't all the way to the top and I can't really tell where soil line is... About how far from the top is it? And with perlite, do you put it on top (I have seen pics of this) or mix in soil?Yes Lowes should carry everything. Usually they have what walmart does and then some, but some people only have walmart. MG makes an organic blood meal, but Im not sure about bone meal. You may need to go find a local nursery for that, comes in small bags looks like cocaine
For the 2L bottles, I cut them just above the label and poked a hole in the bottom of each little "foot" at the bottom. Heres the best pics I could come up with for ya...
Peace

When I first transplanted into the 2L bottles, the soil was at the very top of where I cut. After weeks of watering, the soil will compact a bit. Make sure you get it as full as possible when transplanting, and even add more later if needed.It looks like the soil wasn't all the way to the top and I can't really tell where soil line is...

Sorry for these questions... This is my first grow but I also don't wanna mess it up!
If you want to sample then sure, but in all honestly I dont touch any of my plants till they're ready to come down. The top bud will always be the best, and you COULD remove it, but then it could stress the plant badly and cause nanners, foxtails or stunt growth. I know people that harvest a few branches at a time and never really chop the plant down, but with auto strains, that isnt a possibility so might as well wait a bit.oh yeah, kb, forgot to answer ur question regarding the gals hair color.
THere really is only 1 (the tall girl on right side you advised to LSTdown) that has more red hairs than white. ALL else are still white.
Any advice for some of the top colas that look like they gonna finish before some of the guys lower down?
Is it common to chop top branch & work your way down over say a week period to let them all finish?
lemme know & thanks a bunch!!
Hey kolorblind, what's the best soil to "start" Autos in???? MG seed starter, MG spanghum peat moss, Fox Farm Happy Frog, FoxFarm Light Warrior or Pro mix? Forgot to mention, I will be usig Fox Farm Ocean Forest, after transplant for remainder of grow...
Hey samMainly what I'm wondering is if anyone has any thoughts as to when to start adding nutrients??
Could it be possible to germinate the seeds using the paper towel method then direct placing them into the 2L bottle?When I first transplanted into the 2L bottles, the soil was at the very top of where I cut. After weeks of watering, the soil will compact a bit. Make sure you get it as full as possible when transplanting, and even add more later if needed.
Add the perlite into the soil and mix. Some people use perlite on top to help with gnats or to retain moisture, but I have come to accept gnats and my plants get plenty of water.
