Week 7. The OKC is almost there getting heavy. The rest who knows.

These auto's just dont want to finish. I was hoping they would finish 2 weeks before the rest. But no such luck. They are on 92/3 days today. I cut some lower branches off the first pic just to let the top ones finish strong.

I went with LSD from Barneys Farm, also mainlined her so it's nice and breezy.

Thanks for the pictures, Would say they can be put into fabric pots, and they are probably still wet / muddy at the bottom, and will see if you transplanting them tomorrow. Some roots are drowning, at the bottom, and that is surely causing the twisted leaves and the lock out of N as the new growth was yellow and could not absorb the nutrients. Guys will even lift a fabric pot off the floor for proper air flow under, and you need that air and dry out to a degree, they are programmed to seek out water, and if you keep them too wet they dont need to do any work or grow bigger root systems.

Great Idea! I have Ethos Forbidden skittles and Ethos Wedding Cake clones going atm.The wedding cake is a bit sweet for me,but she kicks nicely.I prefer something with a little bit of sour/spice or diesel to cut that sweetness. The f-skittles is around 4 weeks away from harvest, but the clones already have roots.She also smells very sweet Clone transporters (6 pack around R50-60) - https://www.google.com/search?q=clone+transporters

If plants could read, those schedules would make more sense . Run the sheet so you know what week you are in for feeding. Rest, lift them morning and evening and if they are super light, feed them with the dosage set for this week. Wet the pot top to bottom, then back to the daily lifting game.

Just a little update on the Autoflower grow Day 35 for the Sour Diesel Auto - Most recent feed was 16/07/2020. Biobizz bloom and molasses. Day 14 for the Gelato Samba Auto and Cocopopo Auto. - Received tap water on the same day. First feed will be in a week. Just planning to give them some seagrow for their first feed. Next feed is scheduled for 20/07/2020

Powdery mildew Pity I missed this thread after i lit the fire, was banging.

@afternoon blazer Keep It Simple Stupid... KISS. You can find strains that are resistant to certain diseases like pm or mold etc. My last grow I got bud rot, so this time I picked a strain that was resistant to mold. So far so good.

Yikes. U wana grow for all of us?

I keep an eye... no, two eyes on the grow diaries Air, i would rate you a bit on the low side. Go 8 in 8 out(or add another 6), big tent, i use 2 outs to have a less directed flow from in to out.. comes in at one side, leaves tent other side (one 6 goes out of the room with filter, other goes into another tent, vents the Gorillas right now). 2 40cm ocilating, 2 50cm directionals for general mixing... you might need 6 40 and 4 50 to keep all moving. The better your air moves, the better your plants grow.

lol. Not fucking around here!

Agh, ja bit of both hey single 250W QB in a corner and duel 400W HPS with cool tubes and a 6" exhaust and 4" intake all in a 2.4x1.2x2.05 tent. I swear I'll uniform everything soon

Haha, naah KISS is just a term I've picked up on recently and I've been stuffing it in anywhere I can like a fat kid with cupcakes. An intake filter is something someone considers as a last resort. Problem with powdery mildew? Maybe lessen your humidity first, or increase your air circulation, or even try a PM residence strain etc. Maintaining an intake filter can be hard work, especially if you're uncertain whether it's fully necessary. Also consider whether you are scrubbing the air into the room your tent is situated, or simply just the air going into the tent. If it is the latter, simply unzipping your tent to work on your plants will render your entire intake scrubbing setup useless.

Ah okay sweet, Nah brother, no need to do small waterings every 2 days, and definitely the fabric pot will be better. My last grow I watered 7 days before I harvested the plant, and when I cut the stem at the base, the soil was still wet at the bottom, and then put that fabric pot outside for a week longer, and it was still wet on the ground when I moved the pot again. You'd be surprised how long it can go between waterings depending on your mix. I'm also thinking your cups sit flush on the tray, and therefore might not be breathing properly top to bottom?

That Space princess looks awesome. Very frosty and attractive colours. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

What up 420 Fam. Just a small update to keep the Diary going. So the Banana Monkey i germinated got potted on Sunday Morning(12-07-20). With the seed cracked open. Into the root plug and final pot. Sadly still nothing has broken through the soil. So just gona let it chill out for a while. During the week. I was feeling abit irratated. So i germed another auto. SWEET TOOTH. Tuesday (14-07-20) Seed felt better for some reason. Anyway. Same story shot glass. This time i did 24 hours. Then paper towel and plastic bag for 18 hours. Temps about 28/29 degrees. Awsome 15mm taproot shown this morning and she got potted. Put on a humidity dome. And popped her into the grow box. Lets hope its smooth sailing for now.

So on the 16th of April or there about i decided it was time for a soil test and give the autoflowers a go again. So I got a bag of freedom farms soil to see what will happen if I put it up against my mix. 3 x 20l pots one pot freedom farms one pot my mix and one pot a 50/50 mix of soil. Seeds Fastbuds original cheese. Now what you must understand is that no seed will ever grow the same. So each pheno is differrent. And my sample size is to small to make any conclusions. And my test was further skewed by the fact that I dropped the light on the seedling in the freedom farms pot. Here is my observations. First pic Freedom farms then the mix then my soil.

I had mine at 55cm in seedling and veg and I've since lowered it to 40cm a week ago. They seem to be happy with the light at that height. No stretching at 55cm and no burn at 40cm. I read somewhere on the growopz website that it could be as close at 20cm from the canopy.

Looking good, put the dome back on Youngsters like it wet

A decent pH pen, and using storage solution for the bulb, so that it doesn't dry out, you wont have an issue.

Reading through your post and thinking about it. it makes sense to have an entry fee. You get respect for it, I am talking about the people paying the entries. It can be used for the distribution costs, so you dont have suppliers letting you down. Free does not work, people dont respect free. Throw the entries into a kitty of sort and make the winnings bigger or lets donate that as a community to the Dagga Couple/ Fields of Green for All. Afterall they are the reason why we can grow in the first place. I dont think you should eliminate newbie growers, but of course they need to be active in the community. Just want to say keep it up. I won 3rd prize in a comp on here last year, never expected anything and received my prize very quickly. Great community!!

Awe how you brother, Yes okay, maybe cut sections out the sides of the cups next time for air flow to the base for the hole you have made to work better. Spraying in the morning, with an activator (Kelpak or ActiVera) and water combo will make the plants system kick into action quicker and start the perspiration process going. If you feel they are ready for water, water them tomorrow morning, and I'd say those roots are now filling that cups bottom pretty well already and now on a 2 to 3 day schedule. Maybe up pot them and then water them into their new homes instead of watering them in cups again? Fire

Absolutely man.... will do... It's been so great geeting advice and chatting to everyone, I'll defo be sending more time here

You get 4 LT at hydroponics for 15 Rand honestly, stay away from Ayres Starke I went as a friend said they have BioBizz.. checked the price and my heart skipped a beat. They have no shame...

Definitely the most expensive! R75 FOR 3LT OF PERLITE! The same Bio Ocean pallets was R30 cheaper at Builders Express. I really try to avoid them.

Powdery Mildew, aka white powdery mildew.

Man... I'm jealous...

Sorry.. Gorillas Only the 6 venting to the inside of the room. This one usually ends in the climate room, i needed a powerful way to vent the rather full tent with the royal gorillas... weed strain. Decided to use the vent from the big tent... plants inside the big still small. Also might add, autos, and dutch genetics. I would count 12--14 replace 1 fem. With that calculation, those are 5 fems looks bigger as it is

Wouldn't mind 4 x 250W QB to get lekker spread in the tent. By incorporating the ScrOG method and creating as flat of a canopy as possible, the consensus has become spread > power over time. Although 1000W of QB LED in said tent is pretty beefy regardless of the principle.

I'm catching up to you, China.

Ooooh big boi. Looking forward to the grow diary

@Ill_Evan hahahahaha! that's some funny shit! Okay so sounds like I'm on the right track now. Legendary. Thank you

That's power. You'll have no problems my man. Just watch how quickly them panties dirty up faster than a prozzy on Church Street though.

They can talk kack, can't they?!

Nice setup man, I hope your grow goes smoothly till harvest ☺. I haven't grown with these lights yet but it seems like they are a bit too far away from the seedlings. They look a bit as if they stretch to get closer to the light.

There isn't anything in this world that can keep me down brother Thanks for the compliment

The Aurora Kush was the champ of this round with her long colas and heavy yeild - she's on the dry rack now and more updates will likely come in the form of a grow report

Week 2

Hi guys Unplanned trip up the coast, so update is a little late. Things are moving along really nicely. All plants got Topped 7 July, and reacted super well! See pics below of new growth at the node where i topped. I also took 2 clones the the Ethos Crescendo and got amazing root growth in 10 days flat. (pic below is at 10 days.) Did a full reservoir change on Wednesday. Now i'm running full-strength nutes at EC 1.6

That's the one. Super chuffed.

Aweh fellow greenfingers, The winter chills are upon us but, grow we will. 1/2. a Clash of Titans..... and local is lekker. Unintended consequence. Proof is in the pudding, some buds drying quitely, sweet skunky bliss. 3-6. Found 2 decidedly different Pineapple express pheno's. One seems more sativa, the other more kush. 7-10. The Fruitpunch queens looking good after their feed and tea. This winter made it awfully difficult for any type of outdoor growing. Pushed some limits and took a few hits, might have found some good stuff for my trouble. But summer is coming.... Keep it green. Cheers

I must have been doing autos wrong the whole time. But I think the true test is still to come. The smoke test.

SO today these are at about 10 weeks. Autos definately takes longer than the time they indicate in theit sites. I think the one has about 2 weeks left and the others i think will go at least another month.

I read a nice blog on the RQS website this week. It is all about soil mixes for autoflowers. It kind of gives my theory some backing atm. Will post a link when i find it again. My biggest Autoflowers to date.

French cookies are the densest tackiest heaviest nugs in the tent right now and have the fewest dark pistols still... Keen to see what happens, the current smell is very garlic and vampire warding smells lol

This morning the freedom farms plant is standing at 109cm tall. And she is looking beautiful.
