Lowlife's Auto HINDU KUSH - 385w CFL - 9700 lumens sq foot

I've got myself some feminised auto hindu kush beans from lowlife to blast with good old CFL wattage.
I've popped 4 beans in, 2 in each 4.4 gallon rectangular box with good drainage.
1/3 perlite 2/3 seed and cutting compost.
I'll be using biobizz rootjuice and bloom. Veg is so short I don't think that I'll need any veg nutes, would probably just cause trouble.
Lights are 7 x 55w CFL at 6500 k for veg, then I've got 2700 k ones for flowering.
They took 3 days to pop, well 3 of them did. The last one popped after 9 days. Weird. Though as I see it if I leave the three old ones till most of the trichs are amber I'll have 3 plants worth of mental on-your-ass kush and one plant of happy fun shit. Here they are at 15 days old.

24 days old, bushing up nicely quite a few hairs appearing.

Looking quite nice, are you on day 24 now or are there more pictures coming?

Yep on day 24 today, will try to keep up with pics n posts.
Finished another autoflower CFL grow last month - https://www.rollitup.org/cfl-growing/346432-lowryder-2-scrog.html
Your bagseed plants are looking cool +rep

Day 30. I've got the ScrOG screen in a couple of days ago, the ladies are already fighting through it! The plants look very healthy, I've been giving them 2ml/l Biobizz rootjuice and 2ml/l Biobizz bloom.
The lights are still 6500k, I'll swap 5 of the 7 bulbs for 2700k ones over the next few days.

did u top these at all before putting up ur scrog?

No, they started branching when they were 3 nodes in (about 2" high!).
I squeezed (crushed a little) the main stems so that they'd bend easy under the scrog

Day 34 The plants are going crazy, still on the same levels of fertiliser but sucking up a lot of water.
I'm putting 5 litres of water into each 24 litre pot every other day.
They are filling the screen very quickly and flowering everywhere. I'm a bit concerned about the one that is a week younger as it is tiny in comparison, might end up dying under a sea of buds (not a bad way to go tho, eh?)
I'm impressed with the branching on these Hindu Kush, check the pick of one of the stalks

Damn! That's one fine lookin' lady in the stalk pic. For this reason I really want to grow LR #2 soon.

Yeah the lr2 and the kush seem as fast as each other, looking forward to the kush flavours tho. Mmmm kush

rep for the grow, very nice.

It's a Canatronics Starlight Propagation lamp, I've popped extra ballasts in it so it takes 7 x 55w pll lamps

Updates/pics?

Looking good man. I am growing this right now. As we speak i see the seed pushing through the soil so she should be completely popped by tomorrow. Will be following. I am going to attempt SCROG with freebee DNA sour cream on my next grow, but am interested in how these autos will scrog. I have been strictly growing them lately, but am going to go back to photo period next time.

That's a fatty stem there, amigo.

Pics from day 39. A real fat stalk. Not incredibly fat, but pretty damn fat for 39 days. Also a view up in to the grow space.
I'm actually on day 45 now, there are flowers everywhere and its all looking good!

Awesome! I love my KUSH's I currently have a Royal Kush plant going, check it out: https://www.rollitup.org/cfl-growing/376138-need-some-advice.html let me know what you think, it looks very similar to your plants when they were younger, im only on day 15 from sprout, im hoping its female, as the seeds i got were brought back from cannabis cup 2009 from one of my friends who went, he said pollinator seed bank was giving them away, hope they are feminized, but for free seeds, i can't complain ... going to flip to 12/12 soon, or i will run out of space !

Very healthy looking plants, i hope you have a great harvest

I am toying with scrogging my plants. I have been tying them down so far. I don't know. the more i read the forums on this site the more I want to try everything all at once. nice grow bro!

Nice grow man loving that scrog also
