[mistertee]

ello folks.my auto soviet is lookin rather nice.today she was put under a 250w cfl red.she was showing hairs 2 days ago,now she,s full of em.i would rather have put her under my hps but thats a lot of cost 4 one little plant...hopefully she,ll get enuff outa the 250 as she aint sharing it with any other plants......happy days

hi mistertee ive grown auto soviet and there other two fems auto oil and auto big bud with mixed results out of the three soviet was best smoke yeild wise under a 400 watt dual spectrum hps it yeiled about an ounce of dreid bud not a bad smoke on the nutes front i gave them small amount of grow just for the n content up to wk 5 and then sensi bloom bigbud and overdrive no more than 50|% strength that was in dwc. it was ten weaks from seed to bud.hope this helps good luck with your grow pop

 

[mistertee]

hello pop.ive just put full strength ionic bloom through her yesterday.do u think its to much for her.she,s growin fast now it would seem.a tad under 8 inches tall and 11 inches wide.but i dont want to overfeed her.she,s in miracle grow potting compost which has 40% more nutes than normal soil or so it says on the packet.she seems happy enough if that helps but i,d rather not overdoe things.any advice u can spare is a help.regards

teee

 

[pop65]

see how she go's mistertee if she shows signs of nute burn flush her and cut back to 50% and take it from there.ive only grown once in soil so im not that clued up on it.how old is she now.mine grew to about 2ft tall but as i said that was in dwc.as for there other fems the bigbud yeiled two ounce of bud but very low in thc not a good smoke the auto oil was nice but it stayed small about a foot and only produced about half an oz.
keep up the good work and check reg for nute burn if none keep on as you are for now
lol pop65

 

[mistertee]

she,s a month old now.been flowering for about 9-10 days.she,s only under a 250 cfl so i,m not expecting much smoke from her.just a learning curve this time round.once she,s done i,m gettin more seeds and breaking out the 600w.she,s really hairy though.i,ll try to get some pics of her up.cheers for the advice i,ll keep my eyes on her.:watchplant:

 

[pop65]

you mite be suprised what you get using a 250 watt cfl you can get it within a couple of inches of your girl its what im using for my clones.as for seeds the best auto's ive grown have always came from joint doctor.ive grown all his auto's with great success the best yeilder is easyryder its lowryder2 crossed with auto ak47 i grew three and yeilded 7 oz of dried bud i let mine go 77 days and smoke was real nice good mix of body nd head high.that was under 400 hps so if you put your 600 in you should get decent yeilds
good luck man pop 65

[mistertee]

sure. i,d like to view em.do u ever bother pruning auto,s or are they best left alone? its just that mine has a few lower leaves that dont appear to be getting much light so i was gonna remove em..what do u reckon?...mmmmm blue cheese.bet ya cant wait for that to finish..my m8 was after it but the shop had sold out,he was gutted.he ended up with sweetooth instead(barneys farm).theyre about 3 weeks old under a 250 cfl veg and look healthy as hell.but i know he wishes he,d waited for the cheese seeds....

 

[pop65]

hers the pics of smallest one had allready taken smaller buds off the bottom of her before i took pic other two were twice as tall
as for lower leafs if there dying off it wont hurt to take them off mate
