Tee_Aitch_See Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 (edited) Finally confident in my setup to post an update here. After advice from @Prom, I reached out to Growopz. Unfortunately, there was only a 75watt QB available at the time but I thought it was worth a try. Just doing a run of 3 autos then I'll most likely add a second QB to the setup. Setup: 80cmx80cmx160cm grow tent (purchased from takealot) 75watt QB oscillating desk fan 6" 20watt bathroom extractor (bright star lighting) Thermometer and Hygrometer Seeds (biltongandbudz): Sour Diesel (Bulk Seed Bank) Gelato Samba (Bulk Seed Bank) Cocopopo (Bulk Seed Bank) Nutes: Biobiz - Biogrow Biobizz - Biobloom Molasses Edited July 10, 2020 by Tee_Aitch_See 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afternoon blazer Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Looks good bro. How long ago did u germinate. And how old are they now? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tee_Aitch_See Posted July 13, 2020 Author Share Posted July 13, 2020 I generally leave my seed in luke warm water until it sinks (usually takes a day or two) Then I place between 2 damp cotton pads (with a touch of root hormone) and place that into a ziplock bag. I then place the bag into a dark cupboard for a day or two. Usually by the second day I'll have enough tap root grown for me to plant. So I took roughly 3 to 4 days to germ these seeds. Sour Diesel Auto got planted 13/06/2020 - But for the first two weeks, it grew under my old blurple so didn't get much growth until I swapped it out for the QB. Both Gelato Samba and Copopopo Autos were planted on 4-06-2020 Ignore the Temp reading. The thermometer is an absolute fail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkunkPharm Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Congrats on starting your grow. Looks good. I wish more people would just start. That 75w lights are ideal to start with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tee_Aitch_See Posted July 13, 2020 Author Share Posted July 13, 2020 @GGG I use the enormous bud living soil. I'll post a few updates as they go. Sour Diesel Auto currently undergoing some LST 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tee_Aitch_See Posted July 13, 2020 Author Share Posted July 13, 2020 (edited) @SkunkPharm I'm keen to get another QB75 from @growopz after this run. Perhaps just add a second board and swap out the driver to run them both. Edited July 14, 2020 by Tee_Aitch_See Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try a bit of root hormone if you're using paper towel method. I find my taproot starts a day earlier than it generally would. But some beans are just more stubborn than others. I've found that, in this grow game...patience is key. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tee_Aitch_See Posted July 18, 2020 Author Share Posted July 18, 2020 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 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prom Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 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. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_StonedTrooper Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 (edited) Brother, If I may, and didn't see a comment on this yet, but your temperature meter, the hygrometer thing is not reading wrong, but probably reading the temp in Farenheit not Celsius. The perlite top layer will help stop it drying out that bad and help with over watering, plus try the 100ml to a 1L watering. Just dont miss a day when the girls are thirsty Edited July 20, 2020 by StickyD420 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have it set in degrees Celsius but it still gives me these crazy readings. One minute I've got 99% humidity, the next it drops to 10% then jumps back up to 90% and the temperature does the same. I'm going to give this method of feeding/watering a try and will defs lower the concentration of nutes to water 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afternoon blazer Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Howzit bro. @Tee_Aitch_See Things are looking good. I have been using @StickyD420 reccomendation here for past 3 days. Seems to be going ok. Could u please point me in the direction of the gelato samba in the pics. More specifically interested in this 1. Coz i have 1 more auto seed(to grow). And its the exact same 1 from the same place. So will be following that grow closely. So i can follow through. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tee_Aitch_See Posted July 21, 2020 Author Share Posted July 21, 2020 @afternoon blazer Hey bro, Here are some pics of her. I have a fourth photo active plant in the tent as well but I'll be removing her. Way too much for my 75watt light. I was only going to do 2 autos but the second seed wasn't germinating then I did another (a third) and 2 days later, both seeds had a little tap root poking out so I planted them both and added that with the Sour Diesel Auto that started about 3 weeks before the others. The Gelato Samba is the younger one on the right. Cocopopo to the left 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They dont need allot to become big plants. My suggestion os to either use freedom farms soil. Or 1/4 coco 1/4 perlite 1/4 wormcastings 1/4 enormous buds soil Anyway use it dont use it. Just a suggestion. I was always put off by auto flowers because I did not understand that less is more. Also the bigger your pots the bigger your plants.
