Havnt read to many good things about nirvanas autos, my new beans finally arrived after 3 weeks from attitude ,, i have 2 samsara ultra violets going now 1.5 weeks old , i reordered some green o matics theyve been good to me!also got some short stuff auto assasians and some big budda autos,before anyone orders any autos i would recommend doing a search to read other reviews of the strains they want to order a few bad grow reports and i stay clear of those , just an update on my ultraviolets that are curing in jars . Nice tasting ,pretty potent also . So i would rate them 7.5 out of 10 , greenomatics are 8 out of 10 ,sweet seed fast bud 6 out of 10, samsara thunder bloody mary 6 out of 10

Why did you rate the fast Bud so low, compared to Greenomatic. Why was GoM superior?

I think maybe you use too much fertilizer on your autos. Aren't they supposed to be adverse to being fed? From your description of your FB yield, I got many more bud sites on my run, and I was barely giving it anything other than molasses and seaweed. Then I got an organic sample of bud nutes...didn't seem to help matters. I scorched the plant with a hot dose, but I was almost certain it was correct.

???

I'm just asking, really...trying to figure out how to manage these auto strains. They're new to me. Cheers!

edit: Bought some Greenomatics on your rec, plus I got some Big Buddha auto, too. I'm real curious about that one.

I would not recommend Fast Bud. One out of two hermied late. Really pissed me off. Within a week of finish now. I'll post results with Auto bubblicious. I'm much much happier with the Sensi Skunk #1. Not an auto, but they flower fast with easy triple/quadruple yield and outstanding tric production. Great bang for buck. I know this is an auto thread, but I figure folks are looking for quality that finishes quickly. I'm going to be real picky on any future auto seeds. I'm using this thread to help find a good outdoor auto for next spring.

Viagro i rated fast bud lower becouse its not as strong as gom , my first few fast buds were nice and big ,the last one was small but that was my fault .but still good !!! . I just got my short stuff assassin ,and big buddha , and some more gom, i have 2 ultraviolets going, just put an assassin in soil, next is big budda,then another gom , .every 2.5 weeks anew one goes in.
Ya autos are touchy with fertilizer ,so always better to go light than heavy !! havnt had a problem yet with ferts tho, only problems were on my part with other stuff

(kenji kohan ) ive grown a few rounds of fast bud and a bunch of other autos never had one hermie so i have to believe its not the seeds !!!!!!

My seeds are from Sweet. They are in with all my normal fem strains. Out of 4 strains the fast bud grew all funky. They do smell amazing though. Some of the leaves looked retarded from early on. What do you think could have caused that? I was guessing genetics. I'll take all the help I can get.

are those just under the screw in cfl bulbs?

ya all cfl screw in (4) 32 watt (12) 23 watt in a 2.5FT x 2.5 FT grow box 28,800 lumens i base my grow on lumens per sq ft not watts

I THINK WITH OTHER LIGHTS THERE IS ALOT OF WASTED LIGHT THIS WAY THE LIGHTS ARE CLOSE
TO PLANTS SO IT WORKS GOOD FOR SMALL AREA.

Hey all,
Dunno if this is the best place to post this but I've germed 10 short stuff autos and wanted to post results so far.
5 Mi5 and 5 Onyx.... 100% germination (wet paper towel method, around 90 degrees) they all sprouted in 36 hrs or so on 1/11. Most showed sex at 15 days... as follows: 1 Onyx Male, 1 Mi5 Male, 1 Mi5 indeterminate, and this one is huge; 70 to 80% bigger than all others. The other 7 Female. So far 70% female. Really hoping the indeterminate one is a female in a week or so, as I am just making seed for outdoor autos, and this one looks good for my purposes; BIG, and a little late :) BIGGER... YES.
Got the males out just in time. The Onyx male was about to open a single nut. I'm going to wait until the girls have a hundred+ or so pistils each for max seed production....

Sorry for the run-on post. Just a little excited.. and faded.

Surfhead: I am thinking about cracking a Green-O-Matic -- how was the odor control on those girls? I think I read that they were quite stinky?

UPDATE: Last plant is a female, that makes 80% females from Short Stuff, all autos... the way it should be. I'll take pics tomorrow before work if I can squeeze it in.

Here's a couple of pics of the Onyx and Mi5 at 24 days. They seem to me to be kicking butt, but this is my first indoor grow. Either way we're having fun.
