i cant help but im also waiting for rrf's atm too for a first grow. start a journal would like to see how it goes

ya i was having a bit of a temp problem was running at 92 so what i did i didnt quite have the money for another inline fan so i took the workings out of a smaller like desktop fan the good kind with the metal blades i took two plastic grow pots mounted it in the middle and taped the shit out of em end to end then hooked up my 6 inch dryer hose to one end put that end in g room sit the pots with fan outside in the crawlspace of basement now my temps are running at 85 a little better but i really need another fresh air intake to drop it a little lower or just get me a nice inline but this one is helping so far

you are in for a treat man one of me favourite weeds I'm in the middle of growing it again myself

they get about 11" to 18" and you'll get from 16 to 32g (with your set up you should get near the top end) it will take around 8 - 10 weeks. taste is fruity with a lovely hint of diesel you get the same sort of smell, fruity with a diesel hint and the high is strong and long lasting trust me you wont be disapointed

This Russian smoke sounds nice. I might have to take a look for it myself. Or a smoke if you know what i mean!

heres a question should i get beter inline intake orrrrr should i get a beter reflector mines just wide open bulb no glass no way to air cool i have fan on it but not lowering temps wich one should i go with to lower temps about 7 degrees

i got a 100% germ rate attitude sbank rocks some of the beans were pretty small and shitty lookin but they cracked and are doing great ill keep postin as they keep growing

been using technaflora's ph up and ph down mainly down and let me tell you its shitty it never stabilizes my ph ill bring it down to 5.8 next day its over 7 its shitty stuff plus takes a shit ton to bring it down

Looking good! I did a 5 pack of short stuff Blue Himalayan diesel. Was pretty decent smoke so good luck.
And my mistakes with autos was not enough light and pot size cause they were always secondary to regs. They can do good yield if grown right.
I haven't followed a hydro setup with Autos yet so pulling up a chair.

yo greenthumbsman, man your setups looks so simple and nice seeds that sprouted...please keep update because im gonna sub this thread, because im interested to buy autoflower seeds one day and thats cool about x nutrients free sample, i ve already filled it out , hopefully i ll get at my favorite hydro local...gotta give ya rep and happy growing !

thanks fellas thanks for comin through glad to have ya along for the ride im getting ready to put them in my system and out of dome ive got one in the system so far as a test run i always do that and in one day its outgrown the others so im about ready to get em in there and get em growin

the portable ac is what saved my ass on this one i didnt want to do this auto grow with my regular photo period strains so this in itself is a complete new room and grow im pretty stoked to see how it turns out but being the room is 8x6x5 1/2 i def had to get that ac in there it was wayyyy to hot
