400w Auto Grow...

Hello everybody, i've been here a while, i'm GKN and this will be my 3rd journal...Everyone is more than welcomed to post away, only positive vibes of course, leave the shit talking at the door...
This will be my 2nd go round with autoflowering strains and i'm already a huge fan...I have 10 diesel ryders, 1 fem white dwarf and 1 fem easy ryder...i'm also gonna be vegging 3 purple wrecks that are goin outside in a couple weeks, along with my own cross, rhinoberry, that i copied from a member here....i'm a long time dirt grower and this run i'm trying a new mix, the moonshine mix...it's 100% organic and you don't need to add any veg nutes, and during flowering you add whatever organic ammendments you like...the mix consists of 1 bag of ocean forest, 1 bag light warrior, and 1 bag planting mix, along with 2 five gal buckets of perlite...i've got the auto ak in a huge 5 gal container, the white dwarf is in a 3 gal, so these should yield nicely...i also plan on taking the best male diesel ryder with a nice female dr, and putting them outside to make a ton of seeds, hopefully 300 or so...the remaining males will be killed and the ladies will be transplanted to 3 gal pots...same setup as before, 400 mh/hps, fans galore, central a/c blowing right in from top, and i cut a small circle for a fan on bottome for intake and in general made the corner of the bedroom and bit more closed in...well i think that's it for now, i won't bore ya'll with lots of veg pics, but open discussion and debate are very welcomed....peace and happy growing.

thanks dude, and i'm glad to have ya here tom..let's pray she's a female! i think i hit the volcano one to many times earlier, i'm wasted, haha...my setup should show folks it doesn't take a ton of cash to grow dank pot, just a bit of experience, a green thumb helps, and the right conditions...

Are you doing 12/12 from seed again?
If not how long you plan on vegging?

nah, with auto's you don't need 12/12, they like 20/4 or 18/6 for their entire life...i'm doin 18/6...the regular strains, purple wreck and rhinoberry are gonna veg for a few weeks then their goin outdoors...i'm in the dirty hot south so they'll still have time to get big!

Whats the benefit of Autos?

well, there's a bunch..there super fast, you'll be smoking dank a little over 2 months after you plant...outside there badass cause you can plant em whenever, and in 2 months they'll be done, so for folks in the north with short grow seasons there ideal...umm, lets see, indoors it opens an easy route to perpetual crops, since the light stays on 18/6, you can always be starting new plants, therefore always finishing new crops in a single room...the potency on the new hybrids is up there, the diesel ryder is really stoney shit...there small, compact, you can jam a bunch in a small space...they show sex in 15-20 days...there easier to grow, great for beginners..don't mind hot temps and small pots...hahah, i just love em, can't ya tell...you should try a pack of diesel ryders, and i promise you won't be disapointed! i start in 1 gal pots till sexed, then the females get transplaned to 3 gal or bigger pots, this way they yield well over an oz per plant...

Very Cool. Im going to enjoy watching this.

i just love making seeds and new crosses, it's a really great time, well, everything in growin is!! peace

Subscribed dude! Pimp little setup GkN!

Had never even thought of growing an auto, but you bring up some interesting points. Didn't know they flowered in 18/6 that's pretty cool. That yield sounds pretty good too for that type of plant.

How many you gonna run? I'm subscribed.

appreciate that Dewey...and yeah, auto's are the shit, everybody should really give em a try...i'm gonna run 5 or 6 females inside, and then a seeded diesel ryder outside...you can either pack a bunch in a small space, and you'll have lower yields, or have less plants in bigger pots which is what i'm doin...i should easily pull 6 ozs, plus hundreds of auto seeds that i'm gonna give away to friends....i'm so gald ya'll are here! happy growing..

What's up buddy? Glad to hear you got the new grow going. I'm pretty happy with the Easyryders so far. I have some that are 42 days tomorrow, and some that are 35 days tomorrow and they're doing really well. Of the 5 that are 35 days, they range from 15-20 inches. Of the ones that are 42 days old, they range from 21-26 inches tall. I can't wait for these to finish.

yeah man it's really nice to be back farming! ya got any pics of those?? i wanna see what i'm in for...what size pots you got em in and you using soil??

I'm using BioBizz All Mix soil, started in 1 gallons pots under 2 T-5 96 watt 4 bulb fixtures, and after 3 weeks they were transplanted into 2.5 gallon square pots and put into my tent that has 2 400 watt hps going 18/6. I haven't posted pics on here in a long time, but I'll take some tomorrow after I get off of work. They are all doing pretty good except one that is yellow throughout the whole plant. It's been that for a couple of weeks and I haven't been able to figure out why. I use Earth Juice nutrients from the 3rd week on every watering, and I also give them the EJ Micronutrients and the EJ Catalyst every 2 weeks.

damn, that sounds like a real nice setup, good job..i can't wait to see a couple pics...how many you running?? should be some nice yields..i love auto's in big pots...during my first grow of diesel ryder i ran into the same problem with a couple plants, yellowing throughout their life and i could never figure it out...the bud still turned out dank, they were just the smallest...so not sure...maybe give em a good flush? I've never heard of that soil, pretty good shit?? biobizz makes nutes too right?

im here for this one! should have done this from the beggining
