Live Stoner Chat Greetings from Oz!

G'Day All!

I've been lurking these boards for about a year now and figured it's high time to say g'day and let you know what I'm doing with Auto's down here in Oz.

I live in the City of Sydney and have been stealthily growing Auto's for a few months now and by the end of Feb should be able to harvest a pair of Dinafem Critical+ 2.0 autos I started mid-December. I found growing these autos to be heaps easier and much more discrete than traditional photo-period plants. Since I'm growing outdoors in a stealthy patio garden setup I've been happy with the small stature of these plants with the tallest barely reaching 400mm. I also have an Advanced Seeds Auto Jack Herer on the go with that still vegging and only 250mm tall (however this little beauty has HEAPS of nodes developing so I've got high hopes for this one) -and I've got one Flash Seeds Annapurna that was rescued from a mate's grow tent, this particular plant is not the healthiest and I hope to bring her back to life in the sunshine...

My aspiration is to take advantage of the mild climate and ample sunshine to grow all year round with auto's. I've just germinated a pair of Auto Seed's Pineapple Punch (got 3 beans in the pack with 2 of them germinating successfully). The soil mix I'm using is the Debco Azalea mix (for acid loving plants) with sugar cane mulch, blood and bone fert and pearlite. I just plan to tuck these two into a sunny corner of my terrace and let 'em go.

So that's it... Great to be here - thanks for reading!

Here's a few snaps of the hero nuggets on a pair of Dinafem Critical+ 2.0 Auto's I started back in December. They seem to love the intense summer sun we get down here in Sydney If all goes according to plan I ought to get close to an oz between these two. The tallest one is only 380mm high and the shorty is a thick 275mm tall

I hope to get a bigger yield off my next pair of autos after taking on the lessons learned with these. Here's what I have discovered out of this experience.

1) Auto's love a loose mix -I'm going to go 50% pearlite with my next go, mixing with Azalea soil, sugar cane compost, coffee grounds, blood and bone mix and powdered baby formula.
2) Lots of fresh air and sunshine - with the goal to get them to stretch as tall as possible for 6weeks using only seaweed grow nutes then switching over to flowering nutes for the remaining 3-4weeks.

My next grow is a pair of Auto Seeds Pineapple Punch - if anyone has ANY experience with this particular strain, I'd love some comment. Cheers!
