Hey there rainz this is totally random but in answer to your sig. there are parts of the US that you can get 10-20 years for a couple of plants. They would gleefully destroy my life in a minute and feel like they were doing gods work. Prison sucks. If you can't grasp those facts then maybe you should spend a few years in an American prison, it might change your perspective on the matter

Fair enough lol, Americas fucked, your government treats you all like shit, its a joke some of things ive heard happen over there. Saying that, just for being a member or posting is enough to make somebody think your growing is it not? and to be on this site saying ' dont believe i grow, im a lier ' or sumin like that is stupid imo, if i was a copper and i see that then they would be the first person i bust.

Here is the thing about our legal system, you are inocent until proven guilty. The thing that makes that harder for them to prove that is our constitutional right to say what we want. Hypotheticly I could be an American just cutting and pasting pics from some one elses garden. Maybee I just want to be in the group with the cool kids overseas. Personally I don't beleive in using a disclaimer becuase if I ever get busted it is a thin story. I do understand the mentality though, hey what ever it takes for a guy to keep his nerve in the face of the law.

I dont think the police over here give a shit if you've only got 1 or 2, its more the big commercial gardens there after. The american legal system isnt one of my strong points but i know this, cultivation is the least of your worries.

No my friend, cultivation of even a couple of plants will cost a person years in the state I live in. The laws change in every state, I happen to live in one of the worst. I would get as much time for my twelve plants as a child molester would for raping a kid. The only difference is that they have a team of detectives and agents whose job is to find growers, even the small timers. Child molesters only get caught if someone tells on them.

I can recomend shortstuff from first hand experince. Flash seeds is the same breeder, Stitch, so I would think they would be up to snuff.

I just started my 1st indoor grow. I have a 6x6 tent with a 600 watt HPS/MH...I am using the HPS. I plan to later upgrade to 2 but $ issues kept my brakes on..lol. I am growing Himalayan Blue diesel, Onyx, and some mystery seeds that the company I bought them from sent for free( hope they are fems and/or auto) I am running them in 30 gallon totes each with 8 baskets with steady stream of nutrient and oxygen enriched water. I have them in rockwool cubes surrounded by hydroton rocks. Out of 10(of each) 7 has sprouted. Never had such a low turn out...I used the hydrofarm hot house...heating pad, tray and dome. I am using Advanced nutrients grow,bloom, Nirvana and Bud blood( presently only grow and Nirvana) I have read your posts and have been following your grow as the only reference point I have as a newbie with this strain. Any suggestions? They have literally been going less than a week. I live in Cali and plan to supply a collective so I am really trying to get the absolute best results. I am a avid smoker but I am disabled and desperately need an income supplement Anybody have any ideas ..or advice:leaf::idea:

jdubman , how many plants is that?and what strain?its hydro tho yeh ?
Sorry, missed your question Closet. It's 10 plant's, 8 Lowlife Auto AK47, 1 Jointdoctor Easy Ryder, and 1 Dinafem Fruit Auto freebie from Attitude. The auto AK47 averaged 2oz per plant. The plants were a leaf factory and the whole crop took me 5 days to trim properly. The Lowlife AK47 has 4 phenotypes which makes it hard to grow in my table hydro setup. I had to selectively harvest since it took me so long to trim. Buds were loose and leafy, nothing compared to the Fruit Auto. I wasn't very impressed with either auto AK47 strain to say the least. Not to mention I'm not much into the Sativa enrgy uplifting buzz. I would smoke that herb and clean the shit out of anything I saw. Very productive smoke that's for sure.

The Dinafem Fruit Auto was absolutely amazing! No trimming needed, ended up at 40" tall, side colas were as big as the main colas. The buds were way tight and smelled like juicy fruit gum. Damn good herb for sure and a 95+ gram yield, no fluff bud whatsover. Nice blend of Indica and sativa highs.

Keep in mind this was under a 1k watt light, Advanced nutes, and a hydro setup. I have grown hydro for 15 years off and on. I did the Auto grow as it was my first grow back from hiatus and needed a quick 60+ day harvest.I didn't have access to clones at the time and my mothers weren't large enough to clone out. I am currently 4 weeks into a RP OG Kush grow/ Plants are 3' tall and packing on the trichs. Autos are only done in my mother tent, 2 at a time under T5 lights to mix it up every so often.

I have a Roadrunner #1 freebie going under my T5 lights. It's at day 47 today.
18" tall and in a 3 gallon, I'll throw up some updated pics in a few days. I also have
a Dinafem Haze Auto that's going on day 4. Once the Roadrunner is done in 20 days
I'm going to pop my pick and mix Himalayan Blue Diesel I just got. I also picked up a 5 pack
of the new Paradise Pandora Auto. Got 3 extra for free, so I have 8 Pandora fem beans to play
with over the next year or so. I think the Pandora will be very similar to the Fruit Auto. We shall
see.... I might even do all 8 Pandora under the 1k hydro setup to further advance science...
I'll keep yah posted!

Hey guys, I have some Onyx and Blue Himalaya in starter pellets and the tap roots are starting to stick out of the bottom of the pellet about a 1/2 inch. Currently under a 300w equivalent cfl and 7 days from seed. I was hoping to keep them in their humidity dome longer, but should they be transplanted now? They're going into 5 gallon pots under 1000w MH until preflower than 1000w HPS. It seems a shame to use so much water and nutes on such small plants but I know your only supposed to transplant AFs once. I don't want to risk damage to the tap root letting it sit in the tray to long either.....

5 gallons is a bit big for autos....I use 1 gallon pots with no problem and most I know that grow autos use anywhere from 1-3 gal pots...just my 2 cents....

Most do not remove any leaves unless they have at least 50% damage...and you are right...LST is the way to go and what I do to my autos...

I use smaller pots for autos too, 1-2 gallons.

I let them fall off themselves unless they are drying up and in the way of a growing bud so it doesn't crumble into my buds. Don't want to stress them because there isn't enough time to recover without hurting your yield.
