Yeah cant complain like. The 2 on just now are in an nft res with their own 250w led so they should hopefully end up about 3 each. Stunted them for 2 weeks due to transplanting error so theyre half the size they should be but doing alright.
The bad thing about autos they’re not forgiving.

I generally stick to dutch passion autos so they can sometimes do with being taken down a peg or 2 anyway. My profile pic is one of theirs also done in nft. Give them enough light and they get to insane sizes. Tried to do 6 of them in 3-5 gal coco fabrics under a 600w hps and had to pull out another 500w of blurples cos they took over half my attic. Worse problems to have though lol.
I’ve grown a couple of big ones.

Yeah i used to like doing the monsters but its just too much work. Ive only got a 20l res and the bigger systems dont fit up my hatch. They can drink upto 15l a day and my pump will blow around the 2l mark so if i miss a day im screwed. Just too much pissin about man. Much easier growing half a dozen smaller ones.

Oh those sound like they will be some tastey treats come harvest. Any pics of the lovely girls? I actually jus started another Bluedream Auto in with my Pineapple Express. An they are both ina 30 gallon tote with about 26 to 27 gallons of sunshine mix#4 for a medium. So I'm very interested in seeing how they turn out. Now my Bluedream is alil younger then my Pineapple Express cause I originally had planned on doing a Tangie'matic auto next to the Pineapple Express. But she ended up being a mutant an stunted on me so I ripped her out an tossed her. She might have ended up with some good meds come harvest time. But it wuda been a super low yield an I jus didnt wana waste my time lol. So now my Pineapple Express is 20 days old roughly and my Bluedream is one day lol. She jus popped up either lastnight while I was sleeping or 2day b4 I checked either way she is up now lol.
Here is my Bluedream Auto. We got some frost starting to show up yay I'm excited now lol.
Then here we got my baby Pineapple Express Auto at 21 days old roughly. And another Bluedream Auto in a 30 gallon tote.
This is the baby Bluedream jus popped up today.
My last harvest. 19oz off 4 autos. Fastbuds Gorilla Glue and Girl Scout Cookies.
Current grow, Day 28. Fastbuds Blue Dream'matic (front left and back), Girl Scout Cookie (front right).
Light is DIY Bridgelux strips. 300 watts, 3500k. My own soil-less mix (similar to Pro-Mix HP), Mega Crop nutes plus Gro-Tek Pro Silicate.

Good jesus man that first pic of the gorilla and the cookies was insane. Those are some huge ass buds congrats. What kinda lights did u use for those or was it the same as the ones mentioned above? Also this round of girls is really taking off congrats.
Same light. Built it last year to replace 4 of the old style Mars 300's (aka blurples). Best investment I've made. Ever since the yields have gone way up, and it draws about half the juice of the old combo.

Nice that's what I thought when I got my first quantum board lol. I paid $150 usd for a little single board. And it covers about the same amount of space as my dwarf star from perfect sun. An as for quality it pretty close they both make fat dense frosty ass buds. Only thing i noticed is the plants under the QB did have more side branching going on versus the dwarf star. But that could be the strain tho I guess. But the big factor for me was the dwarf star ran me bout 500$ usd each and the QB was only 150$ usd. So yea no brainer right lol. The main reason I waited so long to try a QB light is cause I didnt think I new enough to set them up an figured it wuda been alot harder then plugging in 4 wires lmao. Once I got it an set it up for days afterward was kickn my self in the ass. I was like OMG look how much money I've wasted getting these ridiculously expensive lights lol. I could have been having great big grows and great harvests if I woulda jus got these from the start lol. Oh well that's life I spose it's all just a big learning game. An I intend to experience all that I can in life so that jus means I get to learn that much more lol.
Oh I forgot to ask if u dnt mind u dnt gotta tell me if u dnt wana. But how much was ur light setup and what does it cover for a footprint in veg an flower?
I got about $400 in it. You could do it with U channel aluminum rather than the fancy heat sinks I used and save a little. They run quite cool. The build is supposed to cover 3'x3' but I have it in a 32"x32" tent (9 sq/ft vs 7 sq/ft). Close enough, and a little over powered is better than underpowered.

Not bad man an yea for sure I totally agree with you there more light the better lol.
You can always dial it down or raise it to get the lux/par you want on your plants at various stages. Having too little, you don't have many options.

Ok so here is my Bluedream Auto on day 63 above ground. I did some more lst and then strapped her down bondage style.
Here is the very bottom buds. Shit man even those are getting frosty. It really goes to show off how good the penetration is of these quantum board lights. Man I love these lights I cant wait for my new 1 to show up lol.
Then here we got another Bluedream Auto. But this one is like 2 days old. I got her in with my Pineapple Express Auto in a 30 gallon tote.
Here is my Pineapple Express Auto on day 23 above ground and b4 training.
This is Pineapple Express Auto. This is after some training and I clipped off 2 of the big top leaves. They were blocking all the light to the lower branches.

Thanks for your impressive updates, fellas! I really want to keep this thread alive, since it’s such a terrific resource for growing Autos.
I myself am not growing any real Autos this time. I have a bunch of photo seeds right now, so I’m experimenting with ‘12/12 from seed Autos’. Will update as the grow progresses.

Amnesia Haze from Crop King Seeds. Such a hearty plant, topped at aprox 3 weeks. Accidentally split it where topped by spreading the branches, didn’t even slow it down. A little duct tape, a zap strap, flowering like a champ! Currently in 3rd week of flower.
Looks like a well-behaved stretch. Stacking nicely!
