Popping my Autoflower Cherry... wanna watch?

alrighty kids, let's get down to it!
STRAINS: Advanced Seeds Biodiesel Mass; Heavyweight Seeds Fast & Vast Auto; Spanish Seeds Auto Blueberry; Midweek Song Seeds Amnesia x Pink Diesel
LIGHT: 600w apollo LED and 135w apollo UFO LED
MEDIA: FFOF;dwc
NUTRIENTS:Gen Organics: biothrive grow;CaMg+; Bioweed; Diamond Black. Roots Organics Oregonism XL. Botanicare hydroguard and rhizo blast

I'll post more info later, just wanted to get this started in the right place

I call this picture, Morningwood lol don't worry Fast & Vast, it happens to the best of us

If anybody has any tips or tricks regarding auto flowers or LEDs, feel free to chime in! The more the merrier!

I put one Biodiesel into this 3g DWC with some Biothrive Grow, CaMg+, hydro guard ( i'm not sure if I got the name right, it's Bacillus from Botanicare) and just a dash of Oregonism XL, hopefully the little guys in there will keep the bucket a bit cleaner

Such a big basket for a little seedling lol

I forgot to mention Im also growing some photos under 1000w HID (10,000 degrees kelvin enhanced blue spectrum) and a 4' 8 bulb T5HO in the same room. So if I need more light, it's not really an issue

Good luck with your grow!

Thanks Fevs! I've always been intrigued by Autoflowering and LEDs. Who woulda thunk I would end up getting both for free!

I went to pick up a 600w led and a 400w digital ballast I saw on Craigslist for a buddy. When I was emailing the seller I mentioned having financial issues and having some stuff stolen between grows. I expected to pay $150 and walk away with a ballast and the 600w LED fixture.
I ended up getting the two items I came to get for $100 and he gifted me a 135w UFO LED, an econowing reflector, a HUGE bag of perlite, a digital timer, probably a couple hundred $ worth of seeds, some bamboo poles and a couple other odds and ends.

He said that seeing all that stuff sitting in the closet gathering dust made him sad, So it might as well go to somebody who will use it. I was so stoked Lol

Nice, chances are is he/she is doing very well if they can afford to give you that stuff. Good score that innit!

Should be a real decent grow with all that light

Hopefully! I went from getting a patient to having a partner, hasn't gone the greatest so far, but it is what it is. Which is why the auto's are my personal project. I'm planning on finishing this grow and going my own way if things don't get any better. Yesterday I was stressing about topping a single plant because he keeps saying 'I've always waited for them to get 2' tall before I top them'
Now I know topping them at this point ( 12" tall and @ least ten nodes) is well into the normal period in which most would have topped it already. I just really don't want to stir the pot... but when it starts effecting the end yield, I feel like the best thing to do is just to top it, and maybe let another one grow another foot before topping, and show him the difference

There's five photos that he put into 5g buckets with unsterile compost and (not sure if it's even fully composted) chicken shit. The pH is way high in his buckets but for the first few weeks he was 'sure' it wasn't the pH

I don't mind working with someone but I need to be able to do my thing. I've grown indoors for about 4 years, I've had good harvests, etc. but the little things are driving me crazy.

Differences in topping time, transplant time, soil use, cleaning practices, heating, pest prevention/ eradication (we have mites and he's against spraying anything at all. We're on our 2nd bag of 2,500 ladybugs and mites are still there. The are doing they're thing, but it seems impossible for them to eat every single one) I would usually have been spraying lemongrass oil, rosemary oil, or SOMETHING to interrupt the life cycle.

Sorry about the ramble, this is been stressing me out for about a month and I had to get it out there

Hey guys just decided to throw up the rest of my girls through the diary

BDM I believe
White Widow loves that 2:1 FFOFromix hp


These are in a mix my buddy made. Not working as well as planned but it's a part of growing. I'll be taking more pictures soon. It's been getting way cold in the greenhouse. Gonna have to add a heater or start a fire if there's any dry wood

Been getting cold in the greenhouse. Too bad my partner refuses to heat with electricity. He starts a fire before he goes to sleep, and apparently it goes out before he gets up because the difference between hi and low temp has been as much as 40 degrees F!
These are all of the Fast and Vast, which matured quicker than BDM

Well folks, I at least got one plant harvested. The rest were brutally murdered by the patient turned partner
The Fast and Vast came out phenomenal though, dense buds and killer aroma. There were so many crystals I had to double check to make sure it wasn't mold getting started, but when I scoped it... BAM! THC filled trees everywhere
