Don't overthink this. I use 1,2,3 gal fabric pots. I put my coco/perlite mix in and run tap water through them. Gallons of tap till I know they are flushed. Use your cubes as normal and start with tap(my tap is 350 ppm) or very light veg feed once they sprout.

Sweet! Thanks for the advice! I wondered about tap. Mines at 210ppm so I’ll proba do just that.

Totally overthinking it.

I’ll stick with 2’s. Hundreds gram recommendeds 6.5 L and 2gallon airpots airpots are roughly those.

RO water?
Grams per gallon?
E.C. per stage?
What kinda CalMag?

Sorry for the million questions.
Thanks homie!
For years I used RO and still to this day use it in my grow room regularly. Sadly when filling 3 50 gal rez often its just impossible.

Seedling/Early veg 2g gal
Veg/Early Flower 4g gal
I never go higher than 5g gal for autos and always had great results. I usually just do 2g 3g and stop at 4g unless I see a def in flower.

Any calmag really. I use gh calimagic because i get it really cheap per gallon.

My ec starts at around 750ppm and by end of flower im around 1.2-1.4 depending if strain is hungry.

Hope any of that helps. GL

Day 66. Two weeks and I start to harvest some plants.

A little Nute deficiency almost fixed. Still learning!

The Cream Mandarine looks almost done!

Transplanted a bunch of sprouts to coco in Solo’s yesterday as well! The coco grows are on, next run is 8-9 auto’s in coco DTW.

Nice work Kiz..
Taking the bull by the horns huh?
That's a lot of beans you have going..GL.

I'm running about 20 of my Duck, JTR, GG4, GSC, Green Crack (4 gens) auto crosses right now to check phenos...Hopefully, with this round of f2's I can get ton of seeds to nail down at least two of the recessive genes I have in the fray..target is to create a webbed auto..If I can get the third recessive gene I have in the mix..the self topping gene..that would be a plus...Just trying to get these beans done up before the next outdoor season..aiming to create stealth that will finish in Alberta.

Just built a two coco DTW systems as per some stuff I read at ICMAG. One for my auto tent and another for my photo tent.

Gotta little action coming up:

I’m in Alberta too as you may know. Legal Med grower. Newbie for the most part but studying the shit outta the science.

Interested in your auto breeding dude. If you ever see an auto plant I have going you want to pollinate a bud, let me know.

Maybe have a puff some day. Lol.

Going to chop this Cream Mandarine right now:

Ordered up some MegaCrop yesterday! Looking forward to the simplicity and hoping for decent results.

Thanks for the advice!

Popped these Autoflower beans 3 weeks ago and coming along nicely for my legal grow.

We have:

Sweet Seeds:
Cream Mandarine and Green Poison XL

Canuck:
Sweet Tooth and Cheese
(The skull has a Cheese too)

420 FastBuds:
Cream Cookies and Zkittlez.

Growing under two 200 watt Epistar 5500k Durolux LED. These are really nice for vegetative. Tight squat internode spacing. 40-50k lux. Another one not being used at the moment for taller plants upfront. They were switched to 100 watt for seedling. (20k lux)

On the top shelf are 100 watt worth of 6000k epistar that I used for sprout. 10k lux.

When they flower they go under the Bava “Quantum’s”.

Soil grown. Ac Infinity Cloudline 6” for HVAC.

Pulling 438 watts on the wall for the whole setup running at the moment.
Is that a high bay light?
