Personally I feel outdoors is the best application for autos. You can start them inside in mid/late april (depending on where you live of course) and put them out in about 3 weeks or whenever they start showing sex. Even if they go 9-10 weeks from seed like my Easy Ryders did, you're still picking excellent bud in mid July while the rest of your plants are still vegging. Only downfall is that it seems like the yield isn't as much outside compared to the ones I've seen grown inside. Think it's at least partly because they are getting less light outside than they would indoors under a 20/4 light cycle. I'm thinking about putting out a few auto plants every couple of weeks from mid May to mid July for a perpetual outdoor harvest while my regular girls are still vegging. Only problem is that those auto seeds are so damn expensive. With shipping I think I paid close to $50 just for 3 Easy Ryder seeds. Hopefully by then Nirvana will have their auto line straightened out by then since they are a lot cheaper than the Joint Doctor's. Don't know if I'd do Easy Ryder (Low Ryder 2 x Auto AK47) again but I'd like to give Diesel Ryder a try.That's cool man, I respect quality over quantity.
5 1/2 months is a while for an auto strain though...but again, you got huge plants out of it, so in the end that's all that matters.
I might give a 10 pack a try next year, but I really wanna try a Lowryder 2 strain like this: http://www.cannabis-seeds-bank.co.uk/lowryder-seeds/lowryder-2/prod_259.html
It's like 9 weeks from seed to harvest, which is impressive.
I like your Riders though; I'm sold on them for next year.
Northern LIghts is deff on my re-buy list. I like that strain alot, shorter bushy plant for me that finished early with over 5 ounces of nice nugs. Close to one of the best I grew this year I think, Maybe 4th on the list.Personally I feel outdoors is the best application for autos.

Your plants look awesome BTW. Especially the WW and the Kaya Gold. I was literally one click away from ordering Kaya Gold but changed my mind at the last minute because I couldn't really find much info on it. I sort have wished I would have though. I was following another Kaya Gold grow on here and this guy's grew something like 7' feet tall in buckets and I think he did rather well. They finished pretty early too.
So what do you think about the Northern Lights? I remember yours finished really early. I ended up having to harvest mine on 9/27 due to the weather and mold. I wanted to give it another 7-10 days, but when I went to check on her she was starting to develope some mold and they were calling for nothing but rain for the next week. I was a little disapointed with the final yield. The buds were fat and dense as hell, but they shrank down to nothing after drying. I FIMed and did some LST and by the size of the colas I thought I'd get 4 oz off her but only ended up pulling around 2 oz. Considering it vegged for about 3 months, that's actually pretty sad I think. I remember you saying yours had practically no odor. Mine didn't either, although now that it's been in jars for a few weeks now it's starting to develope a suble, sweet smell and taste.
Sorry about the long ass post, but I haven't been around in awhile and had some catching up to do, haha.
I still have a couple jars of it curing, it seems to get sweeter everyday it cures. Turned out to be some crystal covered orange colored buds. Beautiful none the less.How did the white widow turn out for you husalife? I actually just picked up a pack and I'll be growing them in a couple months
Thanks, sounds delicious! I'll have to add blue mystic to the list, I've heard bubbalicious is great too!I still have a couple jars of it curing, it seems to get sweeter everyday it cures. Turned out to be some crystal covered orange colored buds. Beautiful none the less.
Interesting. Yeah the final product itself was great just not enough of it, haha. I'm itching to do an indoor and probably going to use 2 of my remaining NL seeds because of the smell factor. Mine seemed a little stretchy actually but I think that was as least partially due to my error. Bushy is what I was after. Thanks for the info.Northern LIghts is deff on my re-buy list.

White widow would be 3rd , Master kush would be 2nd and Blue Mystic would be my Favorite strain.
I bet that Pure POwer Plant tastes wonderful Brother. A friend of mine is growing a clone off my power plant from last season. He picked a lil early sample and she tasted absolutley wonderful all the way till ash is trying to suck in the bowl. Very Mice strain, just takes forever to finish.yo man i grew all nirvana strains this year too...Kaya gold (still growing too) master kush cut down about 3 hours ago a few white widows, skunk, swiss cheese and pure power plant banging strains if you ask me!
First off, welcome, Now on to this Kaya Gold..... I Love this plant myself, it is one of those strains that I will always grow I think.Yeah dude I been reading your journal for 3 hours now... or it seems. Great frickn grow by the way. I myself was wondering about the Kaya Gold strain. That white widow bud looks dank as hell, you gotta tell me how that hits you when you get the chance. Short Rider is just a easy to grow auto strain right? It's not dank or anything like the widow and MK? I was wonderin because I have never ordered seeds from the web an been wanting to test it out. Short flowering plants seem like a must for me where I'm at, not because the season though but because I'm in a city. Good grow though man, if I knew how to rep I would.
NIIICE. So those are strait into the ground right? Thats my usual route but I wanted to try these pots out and even though I didnt growView attachment 1236983View attachment 1236977View attachment 1236976View attachment 1236982View attachment 1236980
