The plant showed there sex yesterday. These autos really are a blast to grow! I went and picked up a cheap air pump and a airstone to oxygenate the water before feedings. I'll post some new pics later tonight.

Peace,

Hi Femora, Thanks for the nice words... I have just been experimenting with the light cycles. Just curious if it will make any difference in the last couple of weeks of flower to give them more of a dark peroid. :thank you:

Things are really picking up. All 4 plants have shown sex and starting to see preflowers. I had my first setback yesterday: CFL light fell over on top of the NL auto and singed a couple of leaves. Total Newbie move there. Pisses me off cuz its so preventable:

Here Pic of my grow room when everything running. I am really happy with my set up.

Plants look good. I wonder if you would get better light distribution from your 250 if you spun it 90*. And, not to pick your grow apart, but you probably have a lot more soil than those plants will need.

That's it - grow on!

Hello guys and gals,

This is the 3 week update. Everything has been going pretty well. I've had to battle a low humidity problem and burned my NL auto when CFL lamp fell over but other than that things going well. Here are some pics:

Hi guys,
I'm constantly amazed by these plants. They are really putting out the bud sites. I am noticing a slight scent now when I open closet door. They are also throwing trichs like crazy. I did some lite LST on them and tucked some leaves to give some budsites more light. These plants are really low maintenance so far. To all my friends in the states have a safe and happy Thanksgiving. I'll post more pics This weekend.

Peace,
K

It's freezing here. "Colder than a well diggers ass" my dad always says. I have had to battle temps this week. Low hunidity also. So here we are at the 4 week mark and they are really stetching at this point. The NL auto is much smaller. I didnt help matters any when I burned top leaves with CFL's. Different genetics really showing now. Pounders are doing great, growing like crazy. I'm guessing I will have another 10 days or so of stretching?

Groe: Day 36

Groe: Day 36

Well here we are on day 36 of my grow. Things are going well. The AP's are budding nicely. The NL is just now budding.

Looking solid. How long are they supposed to go for?

Between 70 and 80 days. You notice I flipped the HPS light 90 degrees like you suggested. Was kind of a bitch as the grow is in a closet beneath stairs so the far wall is at like a 45 degree angle. But you were so right. Much better light coverage this way. Thanks for stopping by Wild.

Kman1965 · Dec 12, 2013

Here we are at day 41, things are progressing nicely. The Auto Pounders are rockin. Really packing on the bud. Really nice piney/fruity smell in closet. So here are sme pics

The plant in that last pic is super happy

Now I know why the angles looked strange.

Kman1965 · Dec 19, 2013

Here is a quick update....Things are going well we are on day 47 of my grow. The AP's have finally quit stetching and are paking on the bud. These things are super fun to grow and I am expecting a decent little yeild for auto's. Anyway, here are some pics

Hello, I hope everyone ready for Xmas. Its day 52 of my grow and I took advantage of the unusually warm temps to take the ladies out of the room and gave them a good flush. The Aout pounders are doing really well. The NL auto is just so different. Its just now starting to kick into gear. I have really enjoyed these little auto and I will def grow them again. I am going to do an outside photo grow this summer. I have 5 fem Big Bang seeds and 5 fem Big Bud seeds and I havnt decided on a 3rd strain yet. So i am mother searching. Anyway, I hope everyone has a great Xmas and an awesome New Year!

Peace,
K
