Nearly there....

I have decided to wick properly, rather than placing pots directly in water. This is how I did it.

Day 2 Auto Skywalker Kush Cut Auto Red Russian XXL

INDOOR CRAFT SOIL AUTO GROW Greetings and thanks for stopping by. I will be growing the following plants in the next couple of months: AUTO NBA DIESEL (Bulk Seed Bank) 50% SATIVA – 30% INDICA – 20% RUDERALIS THC: 13-17% CBD: N/A CBN: N/A GENETICS NBA Diesel x Ruderalis FLAVOUR Auto NBA Diesel has a spicy flavour and aroma, with notes of exotic fruit, earth, pine wood and Diesel. EFFECTS The effect is powerful, long-lasting and rather physical. Diesel lovers will certainly enjoy this Autoflowering cannabis seed. FLOWERING INDOOR 9-10 weeks flowering time with a yield up to 500 g/m². Can be flowered at any photoperiod between 12 and 18 hours of light per day. 11-12 weeks total crop time. This strain is a hybrid of the classic New York City Diesel crossed with the awesome Lowryder #2. Like all the newer Autoflowering hybrids, it has an improved yield and better flavour compared to many of the original Autoflowering strains. AUTO CARAMEL KING (Bulk Seed Bank) 5% SATIVA – 75% INDICA – 20% RUDERALIS THC: 20% CBD: 1,6% CBN: N/A GENETICS Caramel King x Ruderalis FLAVOUR Auto Caramel King has a sweet flavour and aroma, with notes of caramel. EFFECTS Fast hitter, it has a very relaxing body-stoned effect. FLOWERING INDOOR 8-9 weeks flowering time with a yield up to 450-600 g/m². Can be flowered at any photoperiod between 12 and 18 hours of light per day. 10-11 weeks total crop time. Our three-way crossbreed of Blue Black x Maple Leaf Indica x White Rhino was grown on a large scale. One particularly heavy yielding specimen was chosen out of many and we crossed it with an Autoflowering Northern Lights hybrid. The results are very interesting plants with a superior character. They have a good yield of big sized buds and a medium height. Due to the dense flowers plants can be susceptible to mold but if grown early enough in the season, there will be no problems. Recommended for beginners and experienced growers. I will be growing two plants on a table in an open living room, next to a window. I grew two autos followed by two photos in this space during Cape Town winter this year. I will be growing in Orgasoilux which has the following amendments: InoculantCannabis Microbial Consortium BlendCompost, Vermi-compost, Coco peat, Sphagnum peat moss (sustainably harvested) and perlite IngredientsAlfalfa meal Aloe meal Basalt Rock Dust Bio-Char (preloaded with microbes) Canna-kashi Calcitic Lime Copper Powder Dolomite Lime Guano (sea-bird) Gypsum Humic Acid Fulvic Acid Frass Kelp Meal Malted Barley Manganese Oxide Montmorillonite Clay Soft Rock Phosphate Zeolite I will supplement with the following: In veg - Mycorrhizae, MSA (if I can find it), kelp, humic / fulvic acids, microbes. In flower - top dress with Elemental Blend, molasses, pk still to be decided. Growing and Training: Cloth pots, gardening wire, bulldog clips, barbeque skewers to make hooks to create a canopy. Please feel free to ask any questions or make any comments

I don't like half baked fixes ^^ friend was over on the weekend. The issue is that if I would build a solar system for the grow setup, it would be way to big just for the house. I run about 500w ventilation. 4 hours blocks of load shedding would draw 2kwh but you need some more capacity to not cycle all batteries every time, that kills the batteries way to fast. So he ran into a power box for 30k he suggested. What I hate is that you have to re-cable and plug in by hand. Why not go for a 5kwh system fix installed with hybrid inverter for 50k? I have to check with the house owner.. but I would prefer to install all to the main house grid. Solar stuff gets cheaper and cheaper.. hope they legalize soon.. wanna sell some weed to finance the setup. Pay with greens to get green energy

Bruh, was talking to a mate and we were going to setup a grow at his place but without genuinely investing in an inverter battery system the whole effort would be a waste already took me so long to fully backup my own setup, even like you say if at least just the ventilation. Those humidity spikes are the real PM magnet.

Dude thats just heartnreaking.

Omg, I forgot to update the strain information!!! Neither the NBA Diesel nor the Caramel King were a success, so I have a Skywalker Kush Auto and a Red Russian XXL Auto sprouted. SKYWALKER Genetic Heritage Skywalker Kush Cut (selected from DNA seeds) x Triangle F3 Seed Type F7 Feminised Automatic Indica/Sativa 65/35 Cycle Time 65 to 70 days from sprout Strain behaviour and structure: Our auto Skywalker OG is mid-sized, good vigour and growing without too much foliage, by employing an easy strategy of leaf tucking, you can encourage her to shoot branches up with little to zero interference to overall growth. Her open structure allows good penetration and therefore increased yields and minimal pop-corn. Internodal length is moderate and she's very manageable. In the flowering stage she has a very distinctive appearance, Fine leaves eminate from the flowers in an almost spikey fashion and have a tendency to curl upwards, the buds whilst not outrightly singularly large, have incredible density which later become like mini rocks that hit your tray as you trim them. The flowers are very white in apperance. They are spread evenly and give a nice flower/plant size ratio. Odour control is an absolute must whilst growing this variety and if you travel with the finished product, a minimum of double bagging is recommended. In the weeds. Size 60 to 90cm Yield 50 to 90 grams Aroma and Flavour Pungent with a Capital P OG, earthy, piney, dash of lemon. Flavour is a mouth coating blend of barthy, pungent and sweet rolled into one. Effect Strong, couchlocking, straight to the legs and straight to the head, and will take you to your own world of planet Skywalker. Extract TBA Cannabinoids TBA Medicinal Effect Great for anxiety and pain relief, promotes well being. AUTO RED RUSSIAN XXL "Sex: feminized autoflowering Genotype: Sativa/Indica/Lowryder#2 Cross: Red Russian XXL x Lowryder#2 Indoor flowering period: 7-8 weeks Outdoor harvest time: 10-11 weeks Indoor yield: 400-450 g/m2 Outdoor yield: 50-200 g/plant Height: 75-180 cm THC: Very high CBD: Medium Auto Red Russian XXL is available as photoperiod and autoflowering seed. Both versions are feminized, just like all of our other seeds, meaning there is 99.99 % of a chance, they will develop into a female plant. Because this version is autoflowering, it will automatically begin flowering phase, based on its age. Therefore, no lighting schedule adjustments are needed. It is a mixture of sativa, indica and ruderalis. The ruderalis genetics gave this strain the ability to switch to the flowering phase by itself. Red Russian XXL has a huge family tree. Some of the ancient ancestors are Brazil, Mexican, Thai and Colombian sativa, and of course, Afghani indica, that made this strain mostly indica. Some other famous ancestors are White Russian, White Widow, AK-47, our AK-77V, Northern Lights, #1 Skunk, Mexican Haze, Mexican ruderalis, Silver Pearl and many many more. In the final mixture, that resulted in this autoflowering strain, were our Red Russian XXL and Lowryder #2. This strain thrives indoors and outdoors. Indoors, the flowering period ends after 7 to 8 weeks. In that time, the plants usually produce around 400 to 450 grams per square meter. Outdoors, the flowering period ends 10 to 11 weeks after planting the seed. A single plant can produce 50 and up to 200 grams. It can reach from 75 to 180 centimeters in heights. Auto Red Russian XXL is a very strong autoflower, easy to grow and with one of the biggest yields. It produces very resinous buds, that can contain very high amounts of THC – around 21 % and a medium amount of CBD. The aroma of the buds is earthy and pungent and reminds of diesel."

Sprouts people, sprouts! Sat 17th Dec update I have two embryonic weed plants as of today! That was quick. They went into paper towel on 14th Dec. Two days later they had good sized tails and I put them into their starter pots. Overnight the little ones popped their heads out of the soil. I have decided to bottom feed them at this stage as it will be easier to keep the soil moist while I am away. I will use a bbq skewer to check moisture levels so that I avoid over watering this way. I will be away for a week. Do you think it would be safe for me to leave the pots in a couple of cm of water when I go, or would that endanger the roots? Perhaps I should let them soak up a good amount of water and then that should be enough for a week because our little seedlings are still so small. What do you think? I have added 1 tsp mycorrhizae and 1tsp Seagrow to a liter of water and that is what is in the saucer. The skewer tells me that one inch from the bottom is wet. There is an inch of dry soil and then the sprouts which are in an inch above that. Thank you very much for visiting my journal to see wot's in pots. Have a brilliant weekend!

I have usually had a good strike rate but I have had a problem with these NBA Diesel seeds. I bought two and neither have sprouted. The caramel king has a short tail. I'm waiting for it to get a little longer before I pop the seed into soil. I am trying to get hold of the seed bank to see if anything can be done. I have plenty of regular seed and some fems, but I'm now out of autos.

Thank you!

goodluck on your grow brother

I'm so dof, I didn't even think to look at his profile, which was right there!! XD

Hey NaughtyP nice to see you!

Thank you very much Nice to meet you MrE.

the onion has been around for a while brother

Welcome! Nice to see someone new. It's a bit quiet around here. I think maybe this part of the forum should be made public and not hidden from regular (non-member) browsers. Sweet grow light! Cabling job looks pretty decent, nice and minimal, clean.

Eskom really did this crap at the wrong time in regards to the growth stage and weather.. but at least the sun cycle played along. I simply emptied the Veg tent to the outside and shut it down for now. Might be over, stage 4 isn't a big stress.. for now they can Veg outside. 4 hours no power is a PM monster.. should have seen my eyes when it was raining and i checked on the tent... 98% humidity next you saw a moron trying to vent his tent by hand should have made a youtube video.. I think i just go for a solar system to backup the ventilation.. light is strangely cheaper to bridge, car battery and LED already sort that to not run into trouble, just not strong enough to keep things growing but at least nothing starts to flower unexpected. And went from Stage 3 to Stage 6 ^^ nothing is over
