AK47 x Lowrider (1st grow)

[ToPHeR31]

Ok guys so let me check you all up...I planted the germinated seeds about 3 weeks ago and was growing them outside, however since the days are becoming shorter the plants were only receiving about 8-10 hrs of sunlight which isnt enough in the veg stage...so...

I replanted them into smaller containters and put them in a new makeshift grow cabinet...the dimensions are about 2'x1'x3'...

Lighting: 4 - General Electric 26w CFL (6500k)

Soil - Mixture of Miracle Gro Organic potting soil and some Dark organic soil with manure, humus, nitrogen, etc...

Here's a few pics of the current setup...

Any tips would be appreciated...

Like as far as what kind of veg nute and when should i start applying it? Fox Farm?:thumbsup:

I wouldnt start using nutes until its got its first few sets of true leaves, and then only give it 1/4 or at most a 1/3 of the recomended amount.
How long are you having the lights on?

[ToPHeR31]

Well I think theyre autoflowering so I can leave them on 24/7 right? and is fox farm nutes good?

Hold off on nutes till they look like they need some

soil has some nutes in them anyway

biggest mistake a 1st timer can make is adding too much nutes or too early for that matter

I am currently experimenting with 12/12 from seed which seems to get great results

If you are aiming for short grow with good yields and are cramped for space I would recommend this method

If you want to make gargantuan plants, not my specialty

I'll be watching this thread!

Starting 12/12 how do you tell it when to flower? no lights for a day?

[ToPHeR31]

Im still deciding on what kind of cycles to run...if possible I was just going to do closest to 24/7 as possible...they are lowryder so they wont grow more than 1ft tall anyways...btw that's computer paper on the walls! It does a great job of reflection believe it or not...:thumbsup:

I think you can probably get your CFL's a little bit closer maybe 7 or 8 inches from the tops of the plants

well, actually do 10-11 for now and once they are a lil bigger do 7-8 inches

if you start with 12/12 the genotype will determine the flowering

My plants are starting to sex in my grow log in my sig and they are 12/12 from seed

I bought them all feminized!

Most things ive read say that 20/4 is recommended for autoflowers, my second batch of lowryder 2s were on 18/6 and i didnt find it worked as well as the 20/4. Good luck and hope allgoes well.
