So... This is my first time ever dealing with an autoflower, which I received as a freebie from Original Sensible, and who I'd highly recommend for your beans. They ship Worldwide, with a huge variety of strains from a ton of breeders. Not to mention Free seeds with every order!!! I'm just growing one, as sort of a test. So this is what's up.............. \n Strain: Auto Northern Lights x Bigbud (World of Seeds) Provided by Original Sensible!!! \n Medium: Fox Farms Happy Frog (Soil) (5gal Bucket) \n Lights: Veg-:400w MH and 2 "Daylight" CFLs Flower- 400w MH and 2 2700k CFLs (18/6) \n Nutrients: Fox Farms Trio \nI will edit all new photos onto this original post (to reduce time spent scrolling through pages, your welcome! B) ). Will try to update often. (every 1-3 days) Don't Forget to click "Follow"!!!!!! *The lights mess with the camera a little bit, causing slight discoloration.

My dad left my grow room door open and the cats got in!!! Thankfully they only got a couple leaves. Somebody please tell me everything is gonna be okay!!! I snipped the chewed up leaves and there is one with a puncture hole that was small so I left it for now. <div> I think my plant might be a male despite it being a fem seed. Take a look and tell me what you think.... Day: 22 (May 25) Plants doing good after the cat-tastrophy, still looks strong!!! I still think it may be a male though.... Day:23 (May 26) Starting to get taller finally. Still no preflowers though...... Starting to give off a skunky aroma!!! <div> Day; 24 (May 27) It finally showed signs of preflower!!! YESSSS!!!!

Well.... I have a 1000w HPS, but I feel that's a bit much for one plant, you know. So i figure the 150w plus CFLs will do trick. And,you forgot to click "follow" =D
Oh I see, well yea can see why you chose not 2 use ur 1000watter, although seen sonme 1lb plants come from under a 1000w bulb!!!! Big buds haha. Seems ur right I did forget to follow, my bad lol.
Thanks for checking it out guys! I'm going to try to post every time there's a decent amount of growth. (about every 2-3 days). And, I will snoopdog, I'm just trying to get this under my belt first before I do multiples.
Cool grow cobba, I've just purchased some same seeds and setting up new setup I've never grown, I'm going with 1.2 x 2 tent with 2x 450w LEDs 4 plants in there maybe 6 Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Awesome I've got an auto big bud x NL WOS bean or three to pop myself look forward to seeing how this goes! Grow Journal: First ever, CFLs and autoflowers http://forum.grasscity.com/indoor-grow-journals/1299009-first-time-grow-autoflowers-cfls.html
Well done,they look very healthy I can advice u choose as big pots as possible and u'll get very high yields My last Northern Lights x Big Bud was growing in 20 l bucket with drilled holes in coco medium and i got 6 oz !!!!! Its all about size ,now im just sticking to that!! bigger helthier roots -bigger plant best regards)))
Thanks for checking it out. I'm growing in a 5 gallon bucket. I've heard of people using 2 and 3 gallon buckets successfully, so I figured 5 gallons would be plenty big for an autoflower.
yeah!! thats grand! your plants will look more happier than those one's ina small pots im sure that u'll achieve record high yields good luck mate
You should see pre flowers any day now. They usually put on the most size around day 20 to around 45 so its about to get more exciting.
