Q9550 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 What up 420Fam, I'm a long time reader of the forum but don't really post much as I'm more of an introvert and usually prefer to keep to myself. I have been growing for a long time but would still consider myself a "noob". Started off growing in a PC case ages ago when extreme stealth was still required lol Thankfully things have changed and now I'm able to grow out of a tent. Not the biggest tent, actually its meant for germination (Mammoth Prop 90) but its what I have and its doing the job currently. Currently vegging indoors and flowering outdoors. I am in the market for a new tent if I can find stock and at a decent enough price so I can do a full indoor run. My plants are already on the go and are at around the 22 day mark since going into the coco plugs. I don't usually grow autos as I have not had much success but the seeds were cheap enough to play with. They are exactly what the title states... Unknown autos so basically all I know is that they are autos but the strain is unknown. Details of Grow: Tent: Mammoth Prop90 (900 x 600 x 600) (Veg Only) Growing Medium: Freedom Farms Premium Classic Pots: 10L GrowBudz Fabric Pots Nutrients: Umya Pot Radix, Pot Grow, Pot Flora Additives: EM Pro-Soil, Seagro Seeds From: Groen Seeds Breeder: Unknown Strains: They shall be known as: Unknown Auto 1 (UA1) and Unknown Auto 2 (UA2) Lights: 1 x ModuGrow Bar @ 90w , 2 x DIY ModuGrow boards @ 20w each Light Cycle: 18/6 Right now lets get to what you all came here for... PICTURES!!! Day 1 - 2020/10/14 - Seeds sowed directly in coco peat plugs. No shot glass soak or paper towel method. Coco was soaked with EM Pro-Soil Microbes and dechlorinated water. Day 3 - 2020/10/17 - Seeds broke ground Day 4 - 2020/10/18 - Transplanted into the 10L pots Day 7 - 2020/10/21 Day 12 - 2020/10/26 - Was away from home, so missed a couple pics in-between Started getting some issues. Could be either the FF mix is too hot for them or the heat in the tent. Temp's were at around 27 - 30 degrees. Day 17 - 2020/10/31 Day 19 - 2020/11/02 - Plants seem to be taking of now UA1 in the front, UA2 at the back Day 21 - 2020/11/04 Please feel free to drop any comments or share any advice you may have. Thanks for dropping by peeps!!! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks man appreciate it. Yeah a bit hard to tell from the pictures. The big fan leaves are curling downwards and they feel a bit stiff sort off, also some browning on the edges. I'm saying heat/light stress as the temps are at 28 in the tent and lights are pretty close to the tops, the leaves being covered by the big fan leaves are perfectly fine as they get some shade from the direct light. Normally when growing fems I do some LST so the tops are not so close to the lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreX Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 i dono... my tent temps havent been nice... the past heat wave pushed my temps way high, into the 30s and my plants are pretty close to my lights less than 15cm at some parts, i should actually raise them again i think. anyways. saying that, i dont feel thats your issue. likely a lack of something. what are you feeding with?

Just feeding with EM Pro, Umya Pot Grow + Pot Radix. Light doses for now as she is in FF premium and didn't want to over do it Pic of a damaged leaf: Edited November 6, 2020 by Q9550 Added pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreX Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 a lack of potassium is the likely cause of the burnt edges. but being in freedomfarms and the plant not being huge, im not entirely sure. it could be a root issue, but the rest of the plant looks fine. maybe pick that leaf off and watch for signs of new damage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im constantly calling Potassium - Phosphoruis & vice versa - Gonna rather refer to them as P & K in future, lmao is there any clever method to avoid confusing the names of the 2 - its like potassium deficiency i can spot a mile away but i always have this instinctive tendency to refer to it as phosphorus instead of what it is Potassium & vice versa, starting to get really annoying --- its like getting used to driving in North America after living in RSA all your life lmao....left lane, no right lane, ah fuck it, pavement looks safe 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreX Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 LOL i also battle with Potassium and Phosphorus to be honest the only way i get around it is by fast checking with google... takes me less than a min and then i know im golden haha. Does anyone else have any tips for remembering which is which? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dank Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 (edited) Need an easy way to remember what NPK refers to? Here's a handy quote: “Up, down, all around.” Nitrogen (N) for plant, foliage and stem growth (is the UP); Phosphorous (P) for root development and blooming (is the DOWN); Potassium (K) for ALL AROUND plant growth and blooming! I see a lot of these kinds of deficiencies/toxicities around, sometimes its the reciprocal relationships between the 3 basic cations that is off. THE three basic cations, potassium, calcium, and magnesium, compose the largest portion of the essential nutrient elements found in plant ash. ... of excessive amounts of potash will cause a very high content of potassium in the plant, but will lower the contents of calcium and magnesium.

Does anyone else have any tips for remembering which is which? I literally just looked at the elements and thought of this maybe: Phosphorus - Has 2 'P's" so think P Potassium - Has 1 'P's" so think K - P**S Klap 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q9550 Posted November 9, 2020 Author Share Posted November 9, 2020 I also struggle with this quite a lot lol I have found a way to remember it now much easier, I changed the spelling of "Potassium" in my head to "PoKassium" so the "NPK" abb becomes true for each letter. Nitrogen Phosphrous PoKassium Its stupid but it works for me My other issue, which is worse actually, is Sativa vs Indica, for the life of me I cannot seem to remember which is which lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q9550 Posted November 12, 2020 Author Share Posted November 12, 2020 What up gromies, Update on the Unknown Autos, they seem to be doing well. Did a bit of light defoliation on the UA1 and UA2 to open up the lower bud sites. Nothing much to complain about with this grow they seem to be moving along happily. I gave them a light dose of Umya Pot Grow. I noticed the first pistols yesterday so for me the exciting part of the grow starts... watching the buds form Picture Time: UA1 Defoliation Before and After - 2020/11/10 Day 29 - 2020/11/11 UA1 and UA2 Close up pre flowers: UA1 and UA2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q9550 Posted November 24, 2020 Author Share Posted November 24, 2020 What up peeps, Been busy with normal life and didn't get a chance to update until now. The autos are both doing well. The UA1 is doing exceptionally well and is around 55cm tall now, the UA2 is still quite short and don't expect her to stretch much more. Picture time: Day 43 - 2020/11/24 UA1 UA2 Side by side height comparison. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q9550 Posted December 3, 2020 Author Share Posted December 3, 2020 What up peeps, Time for another update, Autos are doing well. There really is nothing to complain about with this grow. I'm actually finding it a bit boring if I was to be honest lol I prefer LST and topping and all those fun things, so for me popping a bean and just adding water takes away some of the fun of it. I have 3 unknown auto beans left and will start them in the new year. I will probably try to do some LST on those ones and see how that goes. Picture Time: Day 52 - 2020/12/03 UA1 @ 63cm tall: UA2 @ 32cm short: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
