Well I had a nice big post but it got deleted when I tried to add a picture so here is the summary instead!

I've done several photo grows before but am fairly new to autos. This will be my second auto grow. I got 10 of Dinafem's White Cheese and 8 germinited, 7 popped the soil but 1 died right away so we have 6 plants.
I am using a 600w MH currently and will switch over to HPS probably soon. The girls are just finishing their third week and growth is just exploding right now. They are in a 4'X4' tent with some other photo seeds I recently started. I'll figure out how to upload pictures here soon so you all can see.

Soil is a mix of peat moss, steer manure, a little plain potting soil, bat guano, perlite, vermiculite, and I have also added in bone/blood/kelp meal to amend the soil.

Any questions please ask!

A week later and the plants have changed so much. I will be uploading pictures after I get off work this afternoon but each plant has grown 2-3x the size they were last week. Pistols started showing about the 10th or day 23. The pictures above are on day 21 by the way. I gave them a little molasses and fish fertilizer, not much of each but just a little to help them grow.

Here are the pictures I took. This is the end of week 4, or day 28 for the autoflowers. The seedlings are about day 10 or so, coming along nicely as well. I will be setting up the other tent hopefully today.

End of week 5 brings good results! The plants have started putting more bud weight on and are filling out really nicely. Four of the plants are all about the same height at 21 inches tall, and roughly the same in flowering. The runt is now about 15 inches tall and might start to flower soon. Another plant I think has just barely started to put flowers on is about 27 inches tall. I was worried it was not going to flower at all and would get much bigger. I may actually just LST the top so it stays about the same height as the others.

First picture is a group shot of all my plants. A little note here; I took the pictures before I moved my big photo plants to my other tent and put them under a screen. You can kind of see them in the corners of this picture.
Second picture is the bud development. Certainly is alot more full from last week. Third picture is the runt. Fourth picture is the tallest plant currently.

Hey anyone who is still reading this, sorry I did not update last week. Here are pictures at the start of week 8 however! I had some problems in my tent, I had what I can only assume was a heat bubble. It was right in the middle of my tent. First picture is my plants in the back of the tent, all were fine and not hit with heat. The biggest thing that is odd is that my tallest plant has a set of leaves about an inch right under the light with no issues. Anyways the second picure is the front plants which where affected and the third picture is my most burnt plant.

My most burnt plant is really bad as you can see. I don't know what to do with it. Nearly all the fan leaves are gone, and most the sugar leaves are burnt right up to the bud. Should I cut it down or let it go longer? Most plants I water and in two days are totally dry and need more water. This burnt plant I watered it right after it started burning almost a week ago and the soil is still very wet, so the plant is not using water like all the other healthy plants. I'm worried about this being too much stress for the plant and it will hermie or the buds will go bad. (I had a photo plant that got so stressed it stopped making buds thats why I am so concerned.)

just trim all the burnt off and put it in a corner to recover who nose ive seen a lot worse
 
Here is week 9 update.
I did end up harvesting that plant, I dried it out and it is currently curing, I harvested like 15.7g dried. Which is a lot more than I thought I would have, I was not expecting half an ounce! The smoke is not too bad either, VERY much a head high and not the deep stone I really need. (I take my meds to help me sleep so the heavier stone is what I like!)
The other plants are doing great. I had to stake the plants with a bamboo pole as they were getting so big they leaned over. One thing I did notice was the rootball on the harvested plant did not use even half of it's 5 gallon bucket, which I think explains why it and a couple other plants are leaning so much. The plants that took longer to grow as tall are doing great and stand up tall. I was hoping to harvest next week around my birthday (in 10 days) but it looks like the plants may want to go even more! Past week and you can see the plants have swelled up so much though, at least doubled in size of buds.
First pic is a great group picture and second pic is a little bit closer up of the autos. I still have those photo plants in the background in the tent, I topped them last week and they are doing great. The other tent that has the two photos under a screen are good, starting to finally actually show the buds as it's been 2 or 3 weeks since i flipped to 12/12? Something like that.I can't wait to harvest all my weed and use my tent for some vegetables, I already have 4 tomato plants going in my windows!
ANyways here are pics!! :cool::grin:

Week 10 update. I know this has not been a popular thread but hopefully it will help someone else see what the White Cheese can offer. Several phenotypes, I think this strain would do better outdoors. I am
actually growing out my second 10 pack of seeds this summer and will record that grow on a different journal. I hope to chop 3 of the 5 later this week and the other 2 in a couple weeks maybe. My next indoor grow will be really seed infested, I plan on seeding a couple plants for well, seeds...
Anyway here are week 10 pictures, enjoy.

Today was harvest day for three of the girls! I have hung them up in the closet to dry, it takes them about 4 or so days before I can put them in jars. I hope for close to an oz a plant but we will see! Also I noticed most of the rootballs on the plants are really little. None of them made very big roots, I have them in 5 gallon buckets but these roots could easily fit in a 1 gallon pot and have some room left. It explains why I had to stake almost all of them once they started to flower.
