White Diesel Haze Autoflower Grow

Meant to start this sooner but I guess starting here's just as good too.

This grow will be done under t5s the whole grow, currently under a 4ft 8bulb t5 with 6500k lights. I just ordered some bloom bulbs 3000k and they should be here Monday. Plan to swap out 6 of the 8bulbs for the bloom.

I germinated the seeds in riot cubes on May 16, they poped up on May 20.

They were planted in 3gal pals of promix amended with buried treasure batnitro and wormcastings. Since then they've been fed FloraNova Grow once a week, every 3rd watering. Each pot gets about 2 liters of water. I recently added some peppermint Jim's mint soil rejuvenator.

It's now June 8, they are currently on day 20, week 3.

Tag along for the grow, I'll update every couple days. Got about a week and 2 days until preflowering starts.

lookin good!! I'll be watching, when you get the 3000k mayb slowly add them in swap out one or two at first then a little later swap another till you have all six in there I've heard mixed spectrums is great for the plants throughout the whole grow

Day 27

I'm up for a little t5 action.

So i just swapped two bulbs out for bloom bulbs, and last night added a scrog, my plants are all close to the same size except one that outgrew the rest, even though I read throughout the internet not to stress autos I did anyways. Some of the tops are poking through already and I've began weaving them untill the lower branches catch up. Anything to keep my canopy as level as possible and give maximum light exposure. My t5s are positioned 8inches above my scrog. Tomorrow marks the beginning of week 5 (day 29) I just gave them another veg dose of FloraNova. I've read you shouldn't feed them flower nutes until about week 6. I'll be swapping 2 more bulbs for bloom starting week 6 and another set again at week 7. It's my first time with autos so I'm experimenting.

I was wondering if you can prune the lower fan leaves, or will it stress the plant too much?

I cleaned the bottom of mine and topped mine once too just to see what they would do, if you are SCROG'ing and super cropping I wouldn't worry about too much stress coming from a little loli popping but that's just me

Looks good man, how are your temps ?

My temps usually hang between 77°-84°, with the humidity 40-55%.

The super croping and scrog don't seem like they affected the plants much. The tops were saluting the light when I woke up so I folded them over again. I included a before and after of the tops, I also decided against pruning and instead just started tucking the larger fan leaves under the lower branches.

I just scored a 6" blower from craigslist for $35. I think 440 cfm should be more than enough to bring my temps down, my tents only 4x4x8. I'll be installing it tomorrow.

Hey it's been like 10 days.
I've been away for the last week.
Came homes to this mess...

Had to wait for the lights to come back on. Hit them with a round of floranova.
I went ahead and pruned the fan leaves that were under the scrog. It's day 38.
Maybe it was a bad idea but light wasnt getting down very far. I also swapped two more lights out.

Forgot to mention two tops broke while I was away also, but the rest of the plant seems to make up for it, not sure if you can see where they broke in the pic.

What bulbs did you swap for what?

Looks good, the Nova is blowing my plants up man I am very impressed with it in just a couple of feedings.......

I swapped 2 of the 6500k for the 3500k, so now I have 4, 6500k and 4, 3500k. I'll probably swap another 2 out in a week or so.

Nice

Here's a little update.
They'll get watered again either later tonight or early tomorrow morning ive been misting the tops of the soil while the rest of the plants catch up. Some pots dry up faster than others, and it helps keep temps down.

Pruning the other day did not seem to hurt one bit.

Here's some of from yesterday, everything seems to be coming along nicely. The plants that broke their tops don't seem to be affected very much.

Post another update once the lights are on, any tips on gaining weight? Today marks the beginning of week 7 (day 43) they've been needing after every other day - 2days.

Some shots from yesterday, they got watered, I'm still feeding Flora Nova but I added a tablespoon to each gallon of water of molasses, I read it helps fatten up buds.

I think its time to stop with the foliage spraying unless you want problems.good luck.

Alright thanks for the tip, I'll stop. I also added another fan at canopy level to help with air circulation. Got any other tips

Try to aim for MUCH more even canopy,especially when growing with a Florescent of any kind,the scrog net is great,you just got to use it
