Autoflower's under lec/cmh

Fevs said:

I think I was stressing them, suppercropping etc, but not in flowering. I always gave it 5 days after lst before the flip to 12/12. Probably bad genetics or light leaks. I'm getting blackout curtains this time. Having another punt at photoperiods with C99 from Brothers Grimm. Least genetics is out the equation this time. lol

My electric bill is so high, I have no choice but to try photoperiods again.

I wish i could find the thread again but there was a guy who experimented with light schedules with autos and he actually (believe it or not) got more yield from 12/12 than 20/4 or 18/6, granted growth time was about 2 weeks longer.

C99. yup genetics are A+ on that one man. pricey one i bet

£120 for 10 regs --- $155.61 - US dollars

I'm growing 24-0 currently, though these did have a dark period until about half way in the grow, then the UK summer ended, so no more night time sleeps for these girls, just to keep temps perfect. They don't reveg like a photoperiod would.

For me, I will always grow photo's on 12/12. I like the veg time, the lst, creating so many tops etc. Usually 1 plant to 1 tent, when I do photoperiods.

I've grown some really nice plants with various mid shelf genetics, some good genetics. Got 7 3/4 zips from a Paradise seeds white widow. That's my best ever. That was under led too, 2 month veg though.

Once I have my elite C99 mother, I will try and grow 1 plant in each tent with those tomato cages. I think with my 315w cmh lamps, that would suit my technique, style and my set up.

ummm has anyone cloned off of auto flowers before I have a clone from a skunk #1 that is in like week 2 of bloom and I have noticed that out of the pistol pods there are seeds, not many and the are not growing like male plants wh

Cloning autos doesn't start a new plant, unfortunately. Keep the branches on.

Fevs said:

So the plants were fed again, 5ml bloom per 1 liter. 5ml alg-a-mic with 2ml bud candy. PH 6.6 without adjusting it

All plants fed just enough for 24 hours. I will feed them like half a liter a day for the next week.

Loving growing in 4 tents with 1 315w cmh in each. It really is a great way to grow

Ah ok, was wondering how many tents you had going lmao.

I yielded less with 12/12. Do you know the growers name/thread? I would like to check it out.

Here is an interesting question. Two 4ft x 4ft tents running a 315w cmh for 12 hours each per day vs One 4ft x 4ft tent with 1 x 315w cmh running on 24-0... I'd like too see that. Yeah setting up would cost a bit more, but which would yield more? Both scenarios would be using 315w for 24 hours.

I would be very interested in the results of that. Hard to say. Would have to test it with a real stable pheno

Ever know of anyone successfully topping autos? I have seen a few threads of it but not much detail into it

Yeah not worth doing. Just tie the top cola branch down around day 14, then you'll get your bush. That's all I did to this plant. You can still see which way I tied it if you look at the stems

Ok found another stem shot

Cut the automazar down last night.. That will be all gone in 5 days when she's dry enough

7 plants to go, other will follow soon enough. I must do a few plain water feeds 1st. Going to try and feed them twice a day, just enough for them to live

Day 57 for the Sweet seeds Sweet Cheese auto's. They are in a period of darkness. I'm cutting them down later tonight. The buds are solid. All the auto's will be gone then

3 superbowl style burger baskets of mazar

2 of my high cbd industrial plant

1st up is the Sweet skunk auto thrown in the last bit of soil I had, just to use it up. Now look at what that auto gave me in under 2 months Normally I'd run this plant longer, but I don't want it slowing my Grimm Brothers C'99 journal down. I must have a property visit, get that out the way. No single plant is worth delaying 12 c99 regs

2 large burger bowls full of buds. Top tier on the drying rack is just for this skunk auto.

Sweet Seeds Sweet Cheese Auto's.

6 plants in 6 liter pots.

English liters - us gallon conversion =1.58503

Lights turned off on 56 days, 8 weeks from seed.

These are stunning quality, like the skunk above. For me Sweet Seeds rule the auto world for quality, pace and consistency!

Final pics

I don't do weigh ins very often, unless I'm testing a light. I can usually work it out by how much money I have at the end

I'm going to be just fine for bread and milk

It's been a pleasure, glad a few of you enjoyed my journal. Any autoflower doubters can think twice before they think autos are a waste of time

Cheese bud stick plants

The original spin pro is without doubt the best purchase I have made in years. Saves me 2 nights of back breaking work, muscle tears, piles etc lmao

I just stand up for 2 hours and have trimmed all this bud

So sticky I can defy gravity

Time to clear this apartment / flat up... What a shit hole! lmao

Leave you with this... I feel I've got the best out of this grow, so why not a cracking tune to finish with
