Very nice setup too by the way! I hope to get my hands on a couple of the area 51's! Anxious to see how your grow goes! How are you liking the 51 so far?

I like it a lot, to be fair i dont have any other leds, but so far this one meets all the requirement I have
they are really cool, so no need to cool anything down, the low flyer under it is doing pretty well, you see that the area 51 led is 75w and the cfls are 260w and the results so far I think the low flyer is doing better. So definately worth on the wattage side!
However lots people say most lights can get em to veg well but few can do well for flowrering pefroid so I ll see whats the final result is and let you know

I have some candy cane seeds waiting to be grown... I was wondering, how tall do they get? And what about the smell?

It really all depends on the pheno being that it is a hybrid strain. I wouldn't think based off my candy cane grow that the strain would reach much more than 3.5 feet in height. Mine had a very sweet citrus smell to it while growing.

Wow skidsteer, what a beautiful job with the candy cane. I bought 5 seeds and they are germinating on paper towel since yesterday afternoon. I'm sorry about my english, it is not my first language, but I'm really impressed with the yield you got from them. In brazilian growers websites that I follow people don't even get that kind of yield with regular seeds even with 600w hps. In brazil people usually use AN ferts or GH ferts, right now I have the general organics box, do you thing the FF is much better than those? Thanks for sharing man.

Your english is excellent my friend. To be honest with you I have been an outdoor grower up until fairly recently and I have only used ff products since my first indoor grow. I love their products. I have also heard very good things about general organics But have never personally used them. What type of setup and light cycle will you be running?

ive heard alot of good things about the go box i may give it a shot
using techna flora at the moment but im about ready for a restock for my next grow so ill prolly give it a go
what do you think of the candy canes ? they seem to be single cola for the most part ?

Thanks man, I actually have 2 tents of 20'x36x6". Im growing for the first time ever and Im about.to put 6 regular blue ak 47 to flower under 400w hps. They were veging under 6 cfl's of 43w. So my idea is to grow the auto candy canes under 8cfls (5 of 6500k and 3 of 2700k). that way I pretend to harvest the blue ak 47 and the candy cane around the same time, but Im expecting at most 20-25g avarage from the candy cane plants. and I'll be using 2 gallon vases. Thanks for your reply, I appreciate

Wow! Skidsteer you are the man! That auto cc looks very dense and heavy. I am impressed!!! All that trimmed was from the single plant shown in your photo? are you the same skidsteer that used to be on the other site? The guy who had the amazing cindy 99, fucking incredible, and blue cheese grows to name a few. Regardless that is amazing looking!

Yeah that would be me man. Glad to see someone make the move to riu. I like it much better here and I bet you will too. Yeah I split up the plants to where I could let some of them go longer to test the effects on each so that was from one plants trimming. Its a before and after trim. Thanks for the kind words

i cant be the only one that thinks this looks a little lanky.. the node spacing is a bit far...or is this normal with auto flowers?

Haha I was thinking the same thing my man! Skidsteer can grow like a champ but is overly nice when it comes to critiquing others grows as I noticed from an older site I used to follow him on. That thing is stretched out bad and will be a low producer if you ask me. Def not an autoflower trait because they do grow very bushy

Damn guys! I do agree it is lanky but as he said this his first grow and it is a learning process. I like to follow the entire grow of a beginner and then give my suggestions on how I would and wouldn't do. And as we all know our bank accounts have a tremendous factor on how each grow will go depending on the quality of the entire setup. like I said keep doing what your doing 420 auto The first grow is all a learning curve. a lot of people cant even get them to get past seedlings first attempt!

one suggestion is to bring your lights as close as you can to them without burning them. depending on what you are using for light you might be able to get them right near the plants.. it will help with yield
