This thread is mainly for my personal reference and for future generations to find when they Google "Snowrdyer" or "autoflower".

If you wish to leave a comment, suggestion or ask a question, feel free. All are welcome. I also welcome other photos of your Snowryder grows.

This is a CFL grow.

This is an organic soil grow.

NOTE: I count my days from the day I planted the seed in the soil.

Here she is at 6 days old. I have one 85w CFL (6400k) about 4" above her head.

Here she is at 10 days.

At 17 days she showed her sex and I switched out my light to a 2700k spectrum.

At 20 days old she had 5 bud sites. You can see 3 of them on top, the other two are beneath the top.

Here she is at 25 days old. Some say shes stretchy. I don't know because this is my first autoflower and it might be the strains characteristics.

A few shots at 31 days old and I think she looks great.

At 39 days she is almost 20" tall.

I am now taking photo's everyday to check on the trichome development and I am noticing a difference every day.

Day 46 with some camera experimenting.

Just a normal close up of my girl.

A little macro shot to check on the trichs.

What I find amazing is that I am just using my camcorder for all the shots. My "prosumer" camera has a hard time focusing when getting in close with my lights on. I really should by a macro lens and play with that.

47 day update.

This is a camera test really. This is as close as I can get with the equipment I have.

This is the actual distance I shot from my camera.

This is after blowing it up, sharpening and adjusting color contrast.

KuLong this is amazing to see how much she has developed over the last 15 days, i guess this is the speed of the auto's. These pictures have got me very excited for my 2 dinafems, that look like your plant at about 31 days old.

Your lady looks almost ready to smoke. I cant wait to see the final product, great growing man im also using CFL's. :P

Thanks Zoo. I wanted to give you some reassurance because I was right where you are a few weeks back. ;) Unfortunately, I do not have access to HPS lights here without spending more for shipping than the actual lights! So I am a CFL grower. I am liking the lights though.

Thanks BigV! I gotta be me. :p

Thanks snwbrda. ;)

Getting a perfect macro trichome shot has been a recent goal of mine. I am a portrait and event photographer and I lack the equipment to do true macro shots.

So I reversed one of my lenses and got this shot.

It is a work in progress and I will get better at macro, which means I will have to buy a macro lens.

Day 50 update!

I have to say, autos seem to be more nute sensitive than my other girls. My girls have been burned ever since the second week of her life. I will be fertilizing a lot less the second time around with autoflowers.

Main cola. She is only 3" tall but she is getting fatter by the day!

I was checking out my trichomes and for some reason this shot of her hairs appealed to me. So I added some effects to the already natural DOF shot. This is for viewing pleasure only.

And here is another artistic inspired shot. Marijuana in HDR baby! :clap:
