will differently try that method next time around this time i tried the water soaked one that one had me feeling nervous later on that it didnt work another thing i read is that the paper towel method hurts the tap root by removing them off the paper towel you tear tiny root hairs that could slow growth later on read that on a growing 101 class on this site but i will try it after all it is a learning experience
Funny BS about the little hairs on the tap root. First of all the tap root is designed to take some damage as its job is to basically push on rock and sleep with rock its whole life. Root tissue is incredibly resilient to funny BS like that. Secondly if I loose a hair or two lifting my seed off the paper towel its not going to significantly alter the plants future root system of a hundred thousand roots. Root system development is more about what is going on in the leaves and not about little funny root hairs.

A simple solution for people worried about this problem would be to lift the seed and pot it as soon as it cracks avoiding the scary paper towel dilemma.

Funny.

I had a long drawn out response but fuck all that, fem seeds will not produce shit bud, a grower who doesnt know what they are doing will produce shit bud. I dont know about you, but my fem seeds produce good plants. If yours dont your doing something wrong. Always shitty bud from fems? Man you might want to look into that a bit more.
Fukin people always knocking on feminized. Fuck that. Why do i want to go extra resources and time and effort to sex my plants when I can pay an extra 10 bucks and pretty much get females 95 percent of the time. Fem autos are great IMHO. Well worth the price.
 
Yepp, have 8 dieselryder and 3 lowryder#2 going in to week 6 now:mrgreen: my first time auto, think i try hasjplant or NL next grow, want some more yield:leaf:

Looking nice, especially the Cobra. Very cool being able to watch the root system grow in soil like that. Looks like it's time for something bigger though, that can't be more than one gallon, and those roots look ready.

Nice grow! They look stretchy though for that strain (and for almost any auto strain). What kind of lighting are you using? Surprised you're not seeing them starting to flower yet, should be any day now.

Um, I didn't see where this conversation started, what it's about, and I have nothing to do with it, but the person clearly wasn't knocking on fem seeds in that paragraph. He/she was being sarcastic and trying to say it's not the seeds, it's the grower.

well i'm going to share some pics I have. CAN'T and WON'T answer any questions about these pics. I would never do anything like this. :-) but YOU WILL SHIT at this SET UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Promise....

lets start at the beginning:

100_4752.jpg
Right room or 'Room 1'

100_4751.jpg
Left room or 'Room 2'

100_4753.jpg
Room 1 from inside (showing closet)

100_4792.jpg100_4791.jpg100_4793.jpg100_4799.jpg100_4798.jpg100_4797.jpg
Both rooms after painting and new linoleum floors.

100_4878.jpg100_4880.jpg
Light fixture: removed and split to have to fixtures for GREEN bulbs.
Windows: covered with 5/8 particle board, painted black on the outside

100_4881.jpg
From inside room 2 showing closet with attic access.

100_4885.jpg100_4884.jpg100_4883.jpg
Starting the "Panda Poly" wrapping of the rooms

100_4892.jpg
Light Movers (LightRail 3.5) in each room


Two ONE THOUSAND WATT lights (one in each room) being cooled by:
100_4894.jpg100_4896.jpg
These where both filled with stirofoam and packing peanuts, sealed and put in the attic. You'll see the hose in later pics.

100_4940 - Copy.jpg

Soooo.... that gives you a good idea of the two rooms, they are identical, both have two 7'x40" tables on wheels (shown in future pics).

What does this have to do with AUTO FLOWERING you might be asking. well here is the answer

room 1
100_4941.jpg100_4956.jpg

Room 2
100_4962.jpg100_4970.jpg
(Room 2 is still waiting on it's filter, but at this stage, no hurry, it's in the mail :-)

there are some older female auto "lemon skunk" in room 1 (left hand sde of pics above) and then there are ten future mothers (photo type, not auto) 2 each off to the right in the pics above (Kush, White Widow, White Berry, 4-Way, and Isis).

ALL THE REST ARE AUTO-FLOWER...... mostly AK-47 (about 320), also started 10 each of "AK47+Hindu Kush" and "AK-47+Blue Berry" from "Lowlife" (thru 'Attitude'), be seeding out two to three of the biggest females of both groups.

The rooms can support 128 in 7" square pots, that means, of the 320 AK's, only about 110 will be kept, figure 50/50 on the male to female ratio, that leaves 160 females, and only the 110 of the strongest will be going to the finish line :-))))) the balance will be the female Blue Berry and Kush Auto's. have a breeding plan in place for both strains.

100_4977.jpg100_4963.jpg100_4964.jpg

100_4958.jpg
Five green bulbs, two for each room (to use during lights out), and one for the hallway.

ALL I CAN SAY IS "THAT'S ONE LUCKY SON-OF-A-BITCH"

Those are 44oz. cups they are in, and will remain in until they show sex, 3 to 4 weeks (they'll be one week tomorrow), the lemon skunks in room 1 are 9 weeks, about ready to DIE. :-) both rooms are running 1000w MH for now, but will switch to HPS at the 4 week mark.
