Autoflowers are lame for indoor imo..why not just get a non autoflower and force flowering..that way you can flower when you want and have more potent smoke

I have the same issues mate, Im got LR2 under 300 watt red.

Admittedly my plants suffered a little stress in the first 3 weeks as I re-potted 3 times not knowing that your not meant to re-pot auto's.

im on day 40, in the last week afew calyxes have turned up and threw out a tiny amount of pistils but fingers crossed they will get there.

but from what I have read in relation to non flowering autos (which is a bit) worst case scenario is you have to 12/12 them, if I were you I would have that red lamp on now and cross your fingers and toes.

If anyone has any more info to share please do, it seems this happens to a few auto's but there is no direct solution apart from hitting 12/12.

non of us want to wait 100 days for an ounce :)

Peace and good luck.

Autos are best for indoors IMO. I would say 12/12 for week to 2 week then back up to 24/0. It may be how many wards your using Bruce. I would try get small hps. The Evil M it may be the transplanting but who knows. I started flowering my Easy Ryder (LR#2 x AK-47) under 125w 2700k cfl but just got a 400w hps. Hope this helps in some way

You need more than one light bulb. Under the proper conditions, autos show sex in 17-20 days.
I put autos on my window sill during the cold winter months and they took forever to show sex and barely grew.
18/6 all the way with autos. Switching light regime does nothing for them.

300w 2700k not enough for 3 lr2?s :S

Also it is possible that you could get a set of Lowrdyers that doing have the auto flowering traits, mine are getting two more weeks 18/6 maximum after that I will hit 12/12 and report the outcome which will hopefully bit sweet buds.

But first time n all there still alive and getting big, about 18 inches ATM.

Yeah I was using 125w on my one plant and started to struggle which is why I upgraded to a 400w hps. To be honest mainly because got such a good deal on it.

I might have to upgrade light then, but I have seen loads of diaries using a single 300 red envirolight throughout the grow with no issues.

It probably can be done but I got a funny feeling may not be enough lumens. Personally I upgraded because you will get a lot better yields with 400w hps.

well i will give it another week and see what happens, im getting preflowers but its just not budding or going for itreally, whats the heat like from the HPS my grow space is 60x60x120 cms with proper extraction so it might be ok.

thanks

Well I would say go with 250w with good reflection. By all means try it with bigger may be able to keep it under control.

250, that is less that what im using I assume the HPS is a better lamp all round then.

Will have to look on ebay if nothing starts to happen.

By far. How many lumens your Cfl put out? I believe about 7k? I don't know though. Hps has deeper penetration and put out about 50k lumens on average give or take

its not your light imo.
i got easy ryders from attitude also and mine did this under a 400 hps.
they ended up catching up in month two and i chopped around day 80 which is 5 - 10 days longer than they suggest.
alos you tossed your 1 inchers?
i had one that was the size of my thumb till day 30 and it blew up, it ended up being my biggest yielder with just over an oz.
it was strange too cuz it was always a runt with a skinny stalk but the buds on it were like golf balls, all over it. you shouldnt have tossed those.:wall:
