Auto's life-cycle

OHhh, and I'm going to start using the ChaChing on my next feeding. It says to use in the last 2 weeks of flower before flush. I hope I'm not that close yet becuase my buds haven't really started filling out, but I think it will be ok to go ahead and start now. I'm just going to be super careful with it, starting with a really weak concentrate, and work my way up to the reccommended dosing instructions. I will monitor very closely the first couple of times I use it and immediately flush if I see any negative indicators. It always scares me to add a new product when everything is going so smoothly. But - the worst that can happen is I burn up some leaves and have to flush... I can live with that, as this run is really to kill my curiousity about autoflowering cannabis.

cool post! Was pretty useful on my first auto grow I'm currently doing . Day 20 now and She started showing sex around day 15.photo (2).jpg

JUst drying a Afghan kush rider now and it lived up to the sales description,. I grow with CFL and got a plant about 1.5 feet tall And a huge main bud ! The smoke is a great rep to sfghan kush tast and high.They says about 21% THC, not quit but close! Vary happy with grow. And As MDEVA said you got to go past there 50 day grow. The kush went 60+ days to finnish ,and i have a Blue still going and its going to be over 70 days to finnish her.If you like blueberry verieties youll love the Blue Mammoth.Wow what a stronge blueberry smell and totaly frosted with now milky tric's. a test has her being very tasty with a good punch.
I must say this is the best thread i have read so far for nubbie auto growing and has helped me alot.I dont usualy grow autos, but ill get a pic of the blueberry up here when shes close....peace and bong hits for all!!!!

@mdeva -just crinkle the foil up before using it,your light shouldnt reflect that much since your plants are filling out, they live off the algae,Im sure you have some on the soil ,cover it with something,shit you can even just use some newspaper if you want,yea I like cha ching too,helps with trichomes,and you can run it alone if you want,I usually use 1/4 tsp with other nutes just fine,next run keep your soil covered from the start and you wont have any issues

like I said be careful bringing that bubble plant back in,spider mites love our plants,I would spray em with the azamax in the shade a couple days before bringing them in,spider mites thrive in this hot weather,they hate humidity though

@ superjoint. I'm not sure if there's algae in my soil or not. I did have these gnats in a previous grow, but that was my fault. There weren't even any drainage holes in the container I was using. Had bad root rot and fungus gnats. That was a while ago. I thought I had eradicated them and waited long enough to use this closet. I'm thinking they got into the carpet and lived there until I introduced some more plants into the room and that's when they migrated. Now I guess the little fuckers are trying to eat my roots. Little do they know I got the cure - and they're going DOWN!!! That is definitely good advice about treating the Bubblelicious before bringing her back inside; infact, it's exactly what I told my friend who adopted her. He has her in a small grow box now, which is isolated from his 4x4 600 watt room. She will stay there until she can prove to be absolutely 100% bug free. Introducing bugs into that room is the one thing neither one of us want, as that's where the REAL plants are, LOL. I swapped out the yellow sticky traps in the room, and haven't seen any more of the adults on them since the first application of Azamax. BUT I am not complacent... I know the little ninjas could still be in hiding, so I'm going to keep applying the stuff until it's unsafe to do so (closer to harvest). Anyways - thanks for the responses.

@ Allenbud - I guess it's just an advertising scheme when Seedbanks & Breeders claim 60 days from seed to harvest. But maybe I just got a weird pheno. My plants are around 45 days old now, and I think they still have a month to go - BARE MINIMUM! They have surprised me though in their growth rate, so maybe they will finish in the next 15 or 20 days. I hope not, because the buds I have now would need to quadruple in size to be worthwhile. That's why I'm going to start with the ChaChing - it's a bulking formula and hopefully it will live up to its reputation. My "Short" Ryder is definitely not so SHORT. She's at least 3' tall, if not 3.5' right now, and continously getting bigger. I'm going to have to tie down the main cola if she doesn't cut it out, because I'm running out of vertical space for her to grow.

yea,those gnats' larvae will get into your roots,Im in hydro and have seen them little bastards living it up on the roots,which then cause root rot,just keep your soil covered I guarantee you wont have a problem,it looks like in your one pic I see a little green on the soil surface,thats where the algae grows,it needs light and water....

@superjoint - Yeah next time I will keep the soil covered. I think I found my problem. I think the "green on top of the soil" was just a camera glitch. After I read that I looked closer at the picture I posted & I see what you're talking about. BUT when I looked at the plant in person, no such color / algae growth was actually on the surface. I've also noticed the camera on my phone makes everything look a little yellow instead of lush green. Anyways - back to finding out what the problem is (WAS)... I wasn't neccessarily over-watering my plants, but I didnt' wait long enough for them to drain off completely. I always water until I see water run-off in the saucer, the problem was when I moved the plant to it's new saucer it was still dripping a little bit. This water was sitting underneath the pot in the saucer. I don't know how many times I could have done that, but this time when I picked the plant up (dry, straight out of the closet) to water her up - the little puddle in the tray had those fuckers in it. Granted they were all dead, but still - that makes perfect sense!!! That's where the excess water, or "fungus gnat breeding pool" was hiding. I'm glad the problem didn't get any worse before I corrected it! Thanks for the advice buddy!

That was a ROOKIE mistake on my part
