They look solid Dr.B. They're good growth rates you're getting there fella.

The autos stay on long days, you don't switch them over at all, so don't worry about that. They'll continue to flower in your veg room.

Some phenos do better than others. The two in your room which look like they're thriving are obviously better suited to whatever environmental conditions they're growing in, whether it be slightly low humidity, high heat etc.

All in all they all look big and healthy and you're making it look like an easy job ;)

Thanks for the warm words, I like to hear that :D

I'm not worried in the words right meaning, but maybe more confused as to why all the photo-period plants started to show sexual maturity days before any of the autoflowers started to do it, I feel like I've mixed up the plants somewhere along the road but that's not gonna be a problem to tell in a week or two I guess.

I'm getting the RH meter today so I'll be able to check the humidity levels, I think that is a big factor in why some of the plants look better than others, I think its very low.
I wish they all were thriving like those two.

One of them actually has 3 tops. I really want to make seeds from that one but I dont think I could sacrifice it anyways and it's an auto so cant clone it. I've been reading up on colloidal silver the last few days, I might buy or make some to produce some feminized seeds from the autoflowers but I still have a lot of reading to do before I decide anything.

Edit: Oh my god, that shop where I can get cheap RH meter closed just as early today as it did on Saturday so it was closed when I was gonna go, anyways I'll get it tomorrow what so ever!

Finally got the Rh meter, seems as the humidity was around 43 but I'll check it again later to see the max and min over a few hours.
Also got some cheap ass ''blumats'' from china in the mail but I'm really unsure about them. Here's a link if anyone could check it out and give their opinion on them.

Give it 24 hours to get a true Max/Min reading,even though it will change day by day.

Where's the link?

When you do get it dialed you won't believe how much faster they move.

Yeah.. you don't want to see those... the all singing all dancing Broadway mites... When they come to town they really bring the house down...

God bless auto corrector

Hahaha :p


No those are the wrong kind, I almost made the same mistake.

Damn, oh well they only costed a few bucks anyways.


Update from just now.. I think I might have to buy a new tent right now for vegging while the autoflowers finish, starting to get way to crowded.

You'll spend a load of money on under-the-bed decorations over time doing this shit, believe me.

If that's the tent you'll be flowering in, it's near enough ready to flip now. One thing I'd do, is top every plant in there except the autos. Just fold over the very top main shoot to pop it off.

Another tent would be like 60£. found a cheap one, I think it would be worth it so the plants have enough space.. only problem is lightning.
Doing af's and non af was a big mistake... I was even considering taking the photo-period plants out of the tent 6 hours a day but that would be to much work.
Ill have to think a little more about buying another tent or just check into topping and training them. Do you mean snap the top right off or like supercropping?

If I did switch to 12/12 now all of my problems would vanish, but 12/12 with auto's are no-no as far as I've read

Little update from just now. Transplanted the smallest plants into their final pots now. I still need to adjust the canopy a lot.
I did try to supercrop the tallest plant but it bounced right back, so I tried again and the stem opened. -.-

Some panorama pictures I took with my phone, seems to be a lot better than taking the pictures as normal actually..

Your mistake was getting autos not photos. Autos have their place, in super small cabinet grows for the small time low tolerance users and outdoors so they finish in climates with a short season. They just don't produce the yield or potency of photos.

If you went with all photos you would be able to buy that cheap tent, a couple cfls, and have a veg space to take clones and get yourself perpetual with some proper bud. The autos are crossed with ruderalis and it makes them less potent and dramatically smaller. You could yeild 4x the amount(potentially) in the same container with photo. Since time and space doesn't seam like an issue I would recommend sticking to photos indoors. Look into 12/12 from seed. You get better results, more potent buds, and it takes the practically the same amount of time of growing an auto. Trust me, I wish I never wasted time growing autos indoors.

Hey man, I see where your coming from regarding the autos but fortunately everything turned out well. I have 3 autoflowers in the tent now and I've put the photoperiod plants in a new grow room under my led light. I dont think I will get the biggest yield from the autos though but it will be some decent smoke at least, and I can start flowering the photoperiod plants when the auto's are done so it will be perpetual in a way, I just got to take some clones soon if I really want it to loop

I might look into 12/12 from seed, but I dont think it's do-able for me. I would like to keep a low plant count and 12/12 from seed would probably mean a bunch of plants.

I cant wait to start flowering the photoperiods, they're so big and bushy there's no way I wont be happy with the results. Here are some pictures from the tent and the vegging plants under led.
