Auto flowers are just fun

I love growing autos I am growing a chistal meth and tangie manic by fast buds I am extremely impressed with there genitics. Both seeds were droppd in rr on 1/4/18 so they are 37 days old today.
I topped both at the third and trained them
the christal meth is flowering real nice and has been for a week.
the tangie is still stretching with no signs of slowing down I tied down the main growth tips today and she is now starting to fill every void in the tent i would love her to just stop stretching and flower.
I love autos they grow up so fast
I made some new res for my autos now I can go from a 3.5 gal bucket for seedlings and early to mid veg 5 gal for late veg early flower 20 gal holds 10 for mid flower to the end. I used to just top the res off ever other day in flower but I am going on vacation and needed to hold enough fluid for 10 days. It is also shorter than a 5 gal bucket so I got more head room.

Beautiful looking plants! 37 days old - and there is the fun and wonderment of the autoflowers. I had a stupid OG Kush last year stretch up past 5 feet, fortunately was in the middle of a sunny heat wave so I just banished her outside.
FastBuds is top of my list for some growing this summertime. They got so many autoflowers available -GG - GSC - LSD 25 - just got a few other beans in the fridge to use first.
Also when one is a couple of weeks from harvest you germinate more. That'll cut 15 - 20 days off growing time.
 
Very nice, Trip! I love having an auto going in the corner under some cheep ass light, just to see what it pulls off. But I'm about to pull the trigger and get a LEC, and I'll have about the same set up as you. I got some "good" auto seeds, finally, and I can't wait to see what it will do under it.
 
This makes me very excited to grow my tangie from
fast buds. Tangie has been one of my go tos at the dispensary. Lots of pics pls 😀
 
I do like to just keep this tent rolling next up it's bubble kush from rqs and Mexican airlines by fast buds
 
I also grow photos but that's more like watching paint dry once flowering starts I don't get to see them much because of the light secudals
 
I might need to try this, now to figure out how to explain to the wife that I need another tent and all the stuff that goes along with hydro lol
 
Hahaha that is a hard 1 I feel you mate u can buy it for her
Babe I got u a set up um can I use it to grow some autos real quick
 
I know, that's what I"m afraid of!!! ;-}

The problem for me is the amount of time they need in 18 or 24 hours of light: it just won't work for my circumstances. So for one thing, the extra electricity for lighting, plus I wouldn't be able to keep the grow room cool enough without considerable extra cost in electricity. It's not viable in my circumstances.
 
I'm going to throw this out there I am noticing that when I plant auto seeds that I will start say 10 out of that 10 only 3 or 4 will take off the rest stay small .has anyone else notice this .
I thought it was temp related so I got heating pads ,my temps stay in the 70s now
thought I could use more lights put 6 300 w leds on 24/7
water temp is between 68 and 71
using kind soil with roots organic original for top soil . also tried there RO green fields there super soil. the 2 biggest plants are growing 1 in kind soil the other in RO only ,never water to run off

I'm at a loss about what i'm doing wrong any ideas When I first started autos inside I manifolded them they took off and did fine . now i.m lucky if I can get them to grow over 8 inches tall it seems
