Wow you have a lot of info about those autos. I have decided to try a couple of them! I am hoping you have pics of the MONSTER tree sized plants you grew; you must grow outdoors more than in? All of my grows have been indoor so I don't get to grow monster trees though I would LOVE to at some point. Monster females could give me poundage upon poundage!!! I get giddy thinking about the possibility of that. I have a greenhouse outdoors but need to create more privacy so I won't feel paranoid about someone seeing my girl(s). I know folks say growing dwc is great but thus far I haven't tried it. Soil is just soooo much more forgiving of learning mistakes ya know? It's so much easier to help your plant bounce back in soil from what I've read, but I will never know until I try so dwc will be a future experiment. My current experiment is revegging a white widow x big bud plant, as well as growing some girls under the flowering light cycle from seed. Will see how it all pans out. You mentioned a lot of seed banks and I am looking to try new ones. Do you have a favorite? I have only used Attitude and Herbies thus far, and my next order is going to be Nirvana for the first time 'cause I hear they are super stealth. What do you think?
I transplanted the thc bomb two days ago. And put her in the shed with a 4x4x3ft boarder around it (so i could see how much room my tent will give me. Its been hard to manage temps but i got it under control now for the most part. I use a red wave heat light to about 4ft away from them.
Last night around 12am it was 44f outside and 73f in the grow area. at 6am it was 41f and 65.8f in GA. Right now its 9am 51f outside 82f in GA
So 73,67,82
got both fans on now... To cool it down. so i got some big temperature changes but they seem to be toughing it out so far. Which i think may have been a little low. But i had the fan running on low which i think aided in that. Today im gonna give the thc bomb her first feeding of ph.7 with:
Bioroots .4ml gal
Flora grow .3ml gal
Flora micro .6ml
Flora bloom .3ml gal
And some cal/mag because im using 48hr RO water
The white powder mold has hasn't spread at all. I'll probably chop the affected leaves in a few days after i believe the root system has been established.
Now onto the autos
Man i think that green crack is on some of her own stash cause she sure is full of energy!!! LOL She germinated a whole 30hrs ahead of her two counter parts and is about 2 days ahead of them in growth since. She stretched way up to the cfl like 1-2 in away from it. Lol she loves it i got worried about the stretching though so i transplanted her into a 5Gal bucket next to the thc bomb. And buried her stem ive got 3 60w cfls over each about 4-5 in from leaves. And back in the dresser uve upgrade to a bendlamp so that they can all get equal light. The GSC is waaaaaay BEHIND idk why. Maybe mutant. Shes had a rough life so far. I helped her shed her shell but the membrane stayed and hardened without me knowing and after i got it off i slightly tore the corner of its good leaf. Its slooooooowly making two new ones. The LSD-25 and think big are growing sideways to get to the light. The tents otw and ill probably have to get a AC unit with temperature control.
When i grew those two males i was a teenager. This is my first time going at it again. Much more seriously this time. Ive done my research for sure. But everyone needs help now and then.
I prefer midweek song i ordered from herbies this time but only because i didn't get the right debit card from walmart. Midweek song freebies are kick ass plus they let you pick them and u get 25% off with code roll20
I recomend auto ultimate by DP
Think different and think big by DP
All the ones im growing now, jackpot by heavyweight, cash crop by cream of the crop dark devil, thc bomb auto theres so many i could recommend.
What are the benefits of revegging? Does it work like monster cropping?
oh yeah definitely but most guys are buying that crap out of the bag and dumping it in. i actually recommend happy frog as a add in or even base media for like porch grows and stuff cause it generally doesn't dry nearly as fast as someone using like promix or something like that on a porch.
The mix for the thc bomb is 30% perlite and i put in 2 cups of soil then 1/4th a cup of perlite and mix after every 3 cycles so it gets well distributed i put in 25% perlite because FFHF is 5%perlite.
I put the auto in straight FFHF because i ran out of perlite. But the soil that was in its cup is 30%
PS The third photo shows the green crack to theft stretching before it was transplanted LOOK HOW CLOSE SHE STRETCHED and the 4th has the current setup in the baby room with the GSC in the back TB to the right and lsd25 to the right
. I am soooo glad to read that girl you thought had mold is doing well. She looks to be right on track, no worries! Tuned in to see how the grows progress! You have a lot of good stuff going on. You will definitely need an A/C in GA before the sweltering summer months come upon you! I am looking to install one soon too so I can keep my grow spaces 75 - 85 degrees ideally. I also have my girls' lights on scheduled during the night now so I can garden after work during the late night when everyone is asleep in the house and neighborhood. This also keeps me off the electric company radar, and will hopefully lower my electric bill just a tad, and also lets me run the hot lights when outside temps are much lower so my plants don't get cold at this time of year. When I was running lights during the day I noticed I would go in the grow space first thing in the morning before work when lights came on and temps had gotten as low as 45 and 50 in there during the night even with a space heater running! Can't have that! So I let the girls sit in darkness for 24 hours with the space heated and then reset my lights on time to night time. Liking that MUCH better so far. I think I may give Midweek Song a try at some point, eager to see if Nirvana is all I have read it is!
