Man those are looking really good. I had also thought of a similar idea on the home-made airpots, cool idea dude. I will definitely be trying this out soon.

Did you use heat or a soldering iron to make the holes so that they stay smooth and don't possibly damage the roots?

And did you start your seeds straight into OF soil?
I ask because it is said to be too hot for most AF seedlings. Or did I miss the fact that they are photo plants? Sorry if I did.

I used a soldering iron to make the holes. It melts the plastic as if nothing is even there. More than a second and you'll burn a huge hole in the pot. They look really good in person and r smooth as eggs! LOL

These are photo plants but they've been in ffof soil since they germinated. I've always used ffof and my first 3 grows were autoflowers. Didn't have any issues with the soil being too hot. Sometimes you get a tiny amount of burn on the tips but i haven't really noticed any negative effects from it.

AlphaDawg has exploded with growth. It's already bigger than the pot it's in with no signs of it possibly being root bound. I think that means the homemade airpots are working

I cut the tops on AlphaDawg and the larger Sour Diesel. I wanted to veg longer but I can't as some things came up. Anyhow, i'm waiting for 3 nodes before topping the other 3. I'm cutting only 50% of the top just to slow vertical growth and encourage side branching for more buds

Chocolate Banana Kush and Strawberry bubba are finally coming along.

Quick Pic Update... All of them are doing great! Getting much bigger. Switched to 12/12 on April 2, 2012. I ran just red spectrum for the past couple days but decided to adjust light height and hit em with full spectrum. No signs of any kind of deficiency's so far

Alphadawg is 100% FEMALE! the preflower hairs are very small but unmistakable.. I'm so glad alphadawg was a female cause she's growing so vigourously.. tons of branching that are coming up so hopefully ill hit that 1.5 oz mark on her

Quick Pic Update.. Growth is still going strong. No signs of sex on the other 4 just yet. They have been under 12/12 for 6 days.

Good NEWS! I believe both East Coast Sour Diesels and Strawberry Bubba are FEMALE!! The pre-flowers are very small but unmistakeable. I'll post pics when they mature a little more.

Space is very crowded in the box so I've been pruning the Large Fan Leaves on all of them to free up some space and to allow the lower lateral shoots to start making their way up.. ALPHA DAWG has responded VERY WELL to this and has shot up in height and there is tons of branching! she's definitely going to be a good yielder
