I pulled about an oz per plant last grow I did with CFls strain is smurfberry auto now I've upgraded to hps with the same strain. This particular one takes a bit long I chopped my last ones at about 9 weeks. The breeder I get them from swears he can get a hp per plant outdoors off these. I'm just curious what's the most you've gotten off an auto (:

180g from a Northern Storm auto under 6 T5HO tubes and two 15-20w CFLs as sidelighting in flower (200w total). Pro-Mix HP + 20% Perlite. GH Flora series 3-part.

3 weeks ago I harvested 155g from the same strain grown under 123w of LED. Same medium. Grow More Sea Grow fertilizer.

Both grows in 2.5 gal containers.

EDIT: I let these plants go 12-13 weeks. I think that's longer than most people let their autos go.

That thing is huge almost looks like you Lst it did you?
There is one bud in the back, little to the right, which is more horizontal. That was the main cola. I bent it over during stretch as the buds began to develop. I wanted to keep the canopy about the same height. I do that with every grow of this strain. Other than that, everything is undisturbed growth. It's a fairly bushy strain. It's in a 2x4x4 tall tent. 2.5gal container (I think people call them 3gal, but it only holds 2.5gal up to the soil line, about 1/2" below the lip. The bottom of the container says #2.

The one I got 155g from is here:

That was a week before chop. That lighting is described in my journal here. (<<link)

I pulled 13.83oz dried and cured from 3 sweet seeds cream mandarins on 3 gallon smart pots, 400w MH/HPS, pro mix,perlite,and dolo lime. 3 different phenos, varying finishing times and weight and i really don't feel like looking thru my notes for per plant numbers but I was impressed. That averages 129 grams per plant. Damn good smoke too.

Was the 6bulb T5 light a 2ft or 4ft. What color was the bulbs 6500k or 2700k or did you mix them?

I used a 4-bulb and 2-bulb fixture (the 2-bulb was angled a little in the rear of the tent to provide backlighting because both fixtures didn't fit the tent's 2-foot depth like a single 6-bulb fixture would. Personally, I think the angled backlighting helped more than it would have been with all the bulbs at the top.).

They were both 4' long fixtures. I veg on one side, flower on the other. So, when I mentioned total watts it was for half the tent. But, yes, the flowering plant got the benefit of more than half the light.

I mixed the T5HO bulbs, something like 2 to 1 (6500 to 2700). I kept it that way veg and flower. The CFLs were spares I had for home lighting, warm whites. Probably 75w equiv.

when u are ready i can tell u how to get it to that size in growth but the feeding mix for flowering .....i did it in my head based off reactions i wanted to see in plant so u would be making your own experimenting plan to feed it

just invest in a res system for it and automatic PHer system other wise it can really suck

Yeah man how did you get that sucker that big. I'm growing them in coco coir using sensi bloom for flowering it's supposed to be " ph perfect" for my beneficial bacteria I'm using great white and my additives I'm using big bud and bud candy

well i used 3 different sets of feeds

u know the flora type for hydro i got one of their starter boxers ..............i fallowed the RDWC plan on the side for 5 gallons for about 5 weeks .........then i used the fox farms stuff plus the flora stuff plus AH stuff

have a over sized air pump 2 gallons of air a min .............and a micro pore defuser (smaller the bubbles the better)
