I just tried some Mi5, The beans seemed stubborn then most to get them to pop, I got 2 to pop out of 5 seeds, One is only about 6 inches tall and looks like all waxy leaves and its only days from harvest, the other is about 12 inches but not as much bud as I expected from reading posts here. Im using a mix I saw of Muddys on here an FD's feeding schedule of FF nutes. They are under a 400HPS. I also have 2 northern lights and they seem tall and popeed a week after the others and now on a little over 8 weeks and the buds havent fattened up and thickened. I tell ya though the one Mi5 That grew is stinkin the whole house up. I'm placing another seed order, I use Herbies, Any suggestions for easy growing High potent strains? And has anyone had the dwarf problem with the Mi5 Like I have?
 
Stick some pics up mate if possible. Height issue id guess being a newbie with only 2grows 1 being autos...that youve stunted the plants as i did mine n ended up with some very short plants.. i believe its caused by stres
 
I think you stunted the small mi5 and the yellowing could be due to a ph issue. As for potent strains I like sweet seeds s.a.d. its great insomnia meds :smokebuds:
 
Looks stunted but i wouldnt worry about it as it looks to have just as much bud as the taller one nice and dense i stunted my MI5 (first grow) and still got under an OZ good luck and happy smoking you will enjoy the smoke after a cure its quite nice :group:
 
Thanks for the smoke report. I've never grown a strain that stinks up the house this bad.......Has anyone here ever used promix with some pearlite mixed in for soil, and use fox farm nutes. I've been mixing stuff into my promix and giving them nutes. And as far as PH I have one of those $18 yellow digital meters and always PH it to 6.2-6.5
 
Question: I know that I can get away with 6 autos under a 400hps, how many can I do under a 600?
 
Gardner420, I just harvested about 25 autoflower plants under a 1000W MH/HPS switchable in a 4 foot by 4 foot by 7 foot tent if you want to use that as a reference. The grow went swimmingly well despite advice to not grow this many in that space. It wasn't all daisies though; it was a LOT of work, I ran into a fair share of troubles with plants and I wasn't able to give them the kind of attention I would have liked had I gone with fewer plants. The question that you should be asking isn't how many plants you can fit under the lights, but what STRAINS can you fit under the light. I grew some White Label Skunk Autos that grew like 2 1/2 to 3 feet tall and threw out TONS of stems and branches. Any shorter plants within say a foot would have been shaded out or had bud on bud action. I grew some 60 Day Wonder that grow less than a foot tall and grew basically as one gigantic bud from the growing medium up to the cola, with very little branching. I grew some Dinafem White Widows that grew such leafy arms anything next to them was gonna get a face full of leaf. Depending on the strain, you could fit a whole BUNCH, or not many at all.

Also depends on the size of your growing pot and the shape of it. I could stack 4 (maaaaybe 5) 2 1/2 gallon pots next to each other in my tent; or put 17 gallon tubs in there and let multiple plants fight it out (which worked alright, I would take a few extra steps into consideration on my next bout.)

I'm a noob grower, I just finished my 3rd grow and I have grown about 34 plants total so far. It's just my personal opinion based on my experiences, but stick with fewer plants and really learn how to grow them well. Learn those pH balancing techniques. Learn the symptoms of plants. I have several sites bookmarked with full color pictures of deficiencies and bugs and diseases. Out of 25 autoflowers on my 3rd grow, I have 2 plants total that look like something you could see in a magazine. I really think had I gone with fewer plants and taken more care of them, I could have maybe not necessarily better results, but more consistent results.

Just food for thought and my :2cents: Good luck and best of luck to you :D It's amazing when you get to reap the rewards!
 
Thanks vapor, as far as pots I use 3 gallon smart pots. I was going to go with lowrider #2 which I had success in the past with and one other strain I havent figured out yet.....Anyone know of a good cheap 400HPS bulb?????
