Nice autos..........I second what teflondummy stated......I've been growing autos for 3 years and love the quickness and also the variety I have in my med drawer! I understand why someone with $ signs in theri eyes don't want to grow autos but when ya grow for only self, they are great but autos don't get very much respect.....perhaps that's why theri a new forum just for AUTOS....I hope that riu will put in a auto section too...........
That being said, I do remain a bit cynical about so many auto breeders showing up the past year or two, trying to get in on the profits, which has led to poor strains touted as autos...........

to be honest everyone has their oppinion but you have to do what makes it best for you i love autos for different reasons like space i can try multiple strains without the wait i love em and stand by them i will try as many as the ganja gods will allow lol
 
iam throw what i have to say about the auto haters that like to slander the autos name and this is what i have to say WHO GIVES A SHIT you grow and i grow u smoke and i smoke its the same thing why care what others are doing unless u like it. just like mom says if u dont have any thing nice to say then dont say SHIT i think thats how it gos ahha but ya who gives a shit i like to get high regard less off how long it takes and how much you get. i hope to see in my life a plant that grows in a week but only gives you a slice but a slice of super put u on your ass frosty nugs i would grow it just cuss i can . ya that what i have to say i love you all grow autos and grow reg just keep growing :)

ok... wow.. ok.. what. few questions...

What lights are you using?
What light cycle are you using?
How big is that pot... What I mean is, whats the width of the pot? ( trying to find out how many of those I can fit into my closet)
65 days old? from seed??!?!!? if so, then you have just converted me ( like 90% now, the only reason its 90% because I gotta go and buy the seeds and wait lol). thats blue himalayan diesel? my goodness... you should get like... almost 2 zips from that if the 25% dry theory is correct.




dude, that is supercrazy growth in 3 days. I figured only growing hydro would accomplish such but it seems im wrong.
check the growth now..... this is another 3 days now. my runt is looking normal and a bit of stretch from my ladies..... the tent was ordered today so hopefully it will be here soon i think these will get a bit larger than i thought they would.

FIRST GROW!!!

STRAIN: Shortryder Autoflower Feminized (Nirvana)
PC GROW BOX from MrGrowPro
Medium: Regular Soil from Hardware Store
Nutrients: Just H2O nothing else
Lighting: 4 26w bulbs (2 soft /2 white)
Light Cycle: 18/6 from seed to harvest

I had one of my 2 ladies die because I went away for 7 days and used those glass bulbs to water them, one didnt work so I lost a plant.

I was super happy with my grow started end of november and had to cut it early because of a move.

In the PC box I was able to grow this strain to full size and had the system running while people where right next to it. Stealthy as hell.

I will definately grow shortryder again. My system holds 2 shortryders comfortably.

As i said I had to move so I cut weeks early but the way it was blossoming it was headed to yeald 3 times what I ended up with. Looking forward to my next grow beinning soon. i learned alot and know i wont make the same mistakes.

The mrgrowpro system kicked ass and I am thinking about buying a second one for continual harvest just because its so damn stealthy. If you go soil it is no work at all. I literally just watered every 2 days and let the box do the rest. I had never grown before so go easy but here are some pics it had about 3 weeks to go in flower when i cut it.

Amen brother!
Never understood why all the hate.
Do you pay my electricity bills?
Are you buying from me?
Do you share or trade with me?
Are you a patient of mine who I provide free MMJ too?

Let me answer those questions for you....

No
F*CK NO!
So why the F*CK do you care what I grow, how I grow, or who I grow for.

i gree with teflondummy i would put under at least a 23 watt cfl above it but to far away so she wont stretch for light or too close or it will burn her so i like to have 4 to 5 inches away thats how i do it so hope this helps

wow we are growing the same thing with completely different setups..... what was your total weight on those 2? im hoping to pull a full o off each one of my ladies with my led setup (please no led flaming guys) idk if you noticed this but i ramped back my nutes to half and they love it at every feeding now. i think i will ramp up to 3/4 strength nutes each watering and see how they do. my ladies just suck up the nutes and love em no discoloration or anything.
