This Is Officially Day 1 She Popped Up To Say Hello :) I'm Just Praying To God Shes A Female, Cus Its The Only I Got Going For Now Until I Cant Get My Hands On More Soil. It's Either A White Russian Or A Hindu Kush. I Mixed The Seeds Together Like An Idiot But It Should Make It Fun To Guess Which One It Is :joint:
She/He LoL Is Chillin' Under 3 26W 6500K Bulbs At The Moment However This Time Im Leaving The Plant Furthest Away From The Sprout At This Point To See If I Can Get Some Stretch. Its Basically An Experiment Cus All My Other Grow I Kept The Bulbs About An Inch Or Two Away.

Hello,

I just read every single post of your red dwarf auto journal which was very nice and teaching. I am also going to go with a pc grow and dwarfs and have just some questions.

1) Is it ok to use just one 400W HPS Double spectrum bulb for autoflowering plants ? (on the webpage it says "ideal for all stages - It gives 30% blue, 70% Red / Yellow light an it is 55000 lumens)
2) Is it ok to go on with a 12/12 period all the time (from seedling till harvest) or should I start with a higher sun/lower dark and then reduce to 12/12 ? On your red dwarf journal, you said that you don't care the period shit :) but I am a little bit curious about that..
3) What about the odor? An odor blocker like ONA will be enough for a PC Case?
4) Will you attempt to LST ths baby? Your Red Dwarf got too long for your case and you had to cut the highest part :) If yes and I prefer that you say yes :), could you also please picture and report all the weeks and steps for the beginners like us?
5) Last question about pc fans..Do your fans work 24h or do all of the growers fans work 24h? Thats a very noob question but...

I hope you take care of this baby right and have a better yield and much fun this time :)

You have to give plants as more light as you can, so they grow better and produce more buds... autoflowering plants need lights as others but they automatically turn from veg to bloom without change light cycle... but the rule is: "more light more grow". Probably the best cycle is near 18/6 or 20/4 from germination to harvest.

3) What about the odor? An odor blocker like ONA will be enough for a PC Case?

I've never used any ONA blocker, but my pc has 2 standard CFL 25W and 2 15W OZONE bulbs. Also it has 2 exhaust fans and 2 carbon filters, but when plant reaches last weeks there's no way to control odor... carbon filters and OZONE bulbs reduce it a lot but everyone can easily recognise weed scent...

5) Last question about pc fans..Do your fans work 24h or do all of the growers fans work 24h?
Click to expand...
Fans HAVE TO run 24/7 to recirculate air inside the box.

Have a nice weed...

i use less than 150 watts with cfl's so ya 400w double spectrum is even better, not in a pc case tho lol

2) Is it ok to go on with a 12/12 period all the time (from seedling till harvest) or should I start with a higher sun/lower dark and then reduce to 12/12 ? On your red dwarf journal, you said that you don't care the period shit :) but I am a little bit curious about that..

20/4 18/6 is good for autos , 12/12 is for flowering photoperiod strains not autos

3) What about the odor? An odor blocker like ONA will be enough for a PC Case?

im sure this will help but not eliminate it..

4) Will you attempt to LST ths baby? Your Red Dwarf got too long for your case and you had to cut the highest part :) If yes and I prefer that you say yes :), could you also please picture and report all the weeks and steps for the beginners like us?

no, never cut an auto, autos cant be topped like normal strains.. i had to cus i fucked up transplanting it, and dropped it and it broke the top main stem it turned out to be a male anyway i think? and yes this will get LST


5) Last question about pc fans..Do your fans work 24h or do all of the growers fans work 24h? Thats a very noob question but...

mine stay on 24 hrs, but you can run your schedule :)

I hope you take care of this baby right and have a better yield and much fun this time :)

its quite simple really... my method is quite crude, i use dental floss (anything as far as string will do) LMAO ya i use dental floss cus i have it on hand. all you gotta do is tie a string around the stem and bend the plant over your pot, i use electrical tape too hold down my floss... lol .. there are plenty of threads regarding LST just click on the search tab at the top of the page and type in LST or google it..

I'll be doing an update tomorrow.. she/he has been doing quite well and growing bigger everyday

My first time growing Auto's, just started 15 Lowryder #2 x AK47, they are a few days old but having issues with the leaves curling like ram horns but still growing like crazy and look healthy (beside the curling under.)

that curling under may be due to overwatering. Can you get a pic up so we can have a look?
