I've decided I needed to start a new journal since I am now growing several different strains of autos.Making the Auto White Russian title of the old journal a little misleading.
I am now growing -
Auto White Russian, 5 plants at various stages W/ seeds brewing -
Dieselryder, 1 plant almost done and 70 seeds -
Auto AK-47xMaster Kush, 4 plants a month old and 6 seeds -
Snowryder, 4 plants @ 2 weeks and 6 seeds -
I also have 4 Feminized Auto AK-47 seeds.
These are grown as a stagger crop so I should be harvesting around a plant a week from now on.
I have a homemade box that's 4 1/2' w x 6' h x 2 1/2' d
I am using 3 of the $20 150w HPS's.I have noticed that auto's still crave a veg light up to 2 weeks into flowering so I am also using a few veg tubes and a few daylight cfl's on the flower side.
On the veg side I have 8- 100w daylight cfl's
I have been keeping the veg lights on 24/0 to keep my box a little warmer now winter's here (one advantage of autos).The HPS's still get shut down for 5 hours a day though.
I use tall and skinny Rubbermaid bread containers so I can place as many plants in my box as possible (24 full).Check out my previous journal to see more details on my containers--------->

I use organic soil,worm castings,and perlite for my potting mix.
I start my plants out with a half dose of root stimulater/starter a week after sprouting.At week two I use a half dose of the root stim. and a half dose of Bio-grow.Third week they get a full dose of both.
After flowering begins in the fourth and fith weeks they get half doses of Bio-bloom and a super bloom fert.After 6 weeks and beyond they get the full doses of the blooms, plus I add Sugar Daddy to the mix after week 6 and until end of the grow.
Some pics to start things out.
