lol I wont make a new journal until there up n growing..... knowing my luck ill make it n then f em all up n look a right plonker 
Herby,
I used to say the same. Its hard to wait. It takes too long. etc. Once, I used a food dehydrator to quick dry my weed (lowest setting).
When I let my friends try it, I got butt hurt with all the criticism and feedback.
Thats when i said fork it man, I will wait till its all good. And not before. You can do it man. Growing isn't the hardest part of this hobby, curing/drying is.
Stage-out.

Very true growing is a piece of piddle.... the toughest part is the wait, n that is ten times as hard when the bud is grown n dry

Herb, subbed mate, just need to have a good read now! What I've seen so far look really nice and healthy.
** edit **
Just had a read, your Cindy looks magic mate, hopefully she'll kick. Good job on them all.
For curing, I dried in a cardboard box, with the flowers on string. Air holes in box. Open lid and allow air exchange every 6 hours or so.
They then went into a Kilner jar for curing after 6 days. Stems were starting to snap. I put a cheap hygro in the jar (bought 4 off eBay for a tenner) and kept burping until the number read 62%, then I'd shut the jar up for a few hours and repeat the same procedure as the % rose.
I also bought a pack of small Boveda 62% humidipaks so that I was able to check the accuracy of the hygros I bought. They were all within 2% of each other at 20°c (the temp is be curing at).
My first cure turned out pretty good, although I never left it half as long as I should have done! First grow, was desperado to try it!
I followed this particular guy's advice from another site. No hassle at all. Google "perfect cure every time." Not sure if I'm able to link it here. Hope it helps, took a lot of the stress out of it for me.

Herb,
Go ahead and ask. I gotcha. I'm no expert (completing my 1st ever auto run). But I am here to impart whatever wisdom you like.
I grow by feel and reading my gals. I'm here to help; if you want it.

The tips I picked up on Autos, which seemed pretty solid were these:
Start in final pot.
Make sure soil is not too hot and has good mix of perlite.
Feed lightly as the plant exhibits need.
Don't stress.
Some strains respond ok to light LST, some, it stresses.
Keep defoliation and pruning to an absolute minimum.
Thoughts?

Herb,
I don't know much about those strains....except for the green crack and bubbleicious.
I seen on ytube a lot of high yielding gc grows.
In my mind, the gc has a great deal of yield potential. I hear great things about Nirvana. Anything named bubble, got my attention.
Do not know if she is a high yielder.
I prefer the fab pots. 11 liters are muy bueno!
When the beans pop, place them directly into your final container. Also, make sure you feed your autos "grow" nutes until the plant stops stretching. Do some lst.
I've found all autos different, my 4th different strain broke ground last week. Topped one early, day 13 and it suffered. I recon it added 30 days to its cycle if not more. I started all but my latest in cups before going into final pot bit can't say if it affected it or not as too many things have changed.
