Greetings people - first time poster so go easy if possible. Currently doing first indoor grow of AK-47 autos from Weedseed Express.
First grow in approx. 25 years due to kids, work, neighbours, rip-offs. Previous grows were outdoor / greenhouse. Anyway - setup is 2 x Spider Farmer SF-4000s, 6" inlet fan, 6" exhaust fan with carbon filter, 2 x 6" fans above lights and a tower oscillating fan. Lights on daytime temps are around 25 - 30C, at night around 22 - 26C w/lights off (average) - I'm in southern QLD/AU. Humidity 60%. Growing in soil - potting mix, perlight, vermiculite in cloth bags. Running 18 hrs on / 6 hrs off. No nutes for first 2 to 3 weeks, then Bushmans (Australian) Growth and later Bloom (half strength) with occasional worm juice and Seasol (Australian / Seaweed). Using rain water. PH around 6.5.

Germinated and put into 5 gallon / 20 litre cloth bags on 01OCT. Unfortunately couldn't get them in the grow room for first 2 weeks as I was still putting it together. So they were on veranda not getting much light. Also overwatered them early on so they were stunted and only around 15 cm at 4 weeks / 28 days - when they started to flower - refer 1st pic taken 01NOV. Nearly pulled the pin on them to start over but persisted.

They proceeded flower in a hell of a hurry - refer next 3 pics taken 29NOV. Three plants quite similar - around 40 cm and one different, taller - around 60cm and not so advanced flower wise. Any ideas on how far these buggers are away ? Seed seller says 60 days flower but I can't see them going that long. Grateful for any feedback.

Not ragging on ya, but never even heard of that breeder of seeds. You should check out Mephisto, Night Owl, Rocbudinc, Ethos, Mandalorian, Dinafem are all good choices. Multiversebeans has Mephisto and Night Owl at the moment and you'll have much better quality.20211202_075409.jpg20211202_075416.jpg20211202_075426.jpg20211202_090355.jpg

Nice work ! Multiversebeans aren't shipping internationally atm. I'm in OZ and options on seed sellers who ship here, guarantee deliver and have easy safe payment systems are somewhat limited but point taken. I'm really only growing for myself and to share with a few friends so not super fussed but always looking to improve. Cheers !

Australia.
Ah, ok. I'll see what i can find, cause I'm positive some guys from down under get Mephisto seeds shipped there. Good genetics go a LONG way. I am one of the laziest growers out there. I don't che k ph anymore. Never have cared to check ppf for optimal lights. My temps do what they want and i let them :p i just buy good quality genetics, good lighting, my meduim of choice and good nutrients and it lwts me do low effort growing.

Makes sense what you say. I have a bunch of different seeds I have ordered from this place over recent times. Shipping fast and stealth. Still not legal here unfortunately. They are based in the Netherlands and seem to have good reviews. I'm thinking I'll try photos next. My attitude to growing is similar to yours. I swapped over to rain water as I couldn't be fucked with PHing and the rainwater was better than the tap water and no chlorine.
My grow room doesn't have much headroom - only 6 foot, just - which is why I tried autos first. I'll get there....
