tek, that yellowing on your lower leaves looks like a nitrogen deficency, are you feeding? what is PH? if your not sure of ph i suggest maybe getting some of those cheap ph strips...is your ph is out of wack it could cause nitrogen lockout which bascially means the ph is to high or low for the plants to absorb the nitrogen, also because the root system is in sucha tiny cup like that its very easy for the ph to get all whacky

ive been feeding at like 1.9-2. ec 1000 ppm by what the bottle says
its ph i think
i watered with a pinch of baking soda i think its just getting a little high like 7-7.5 from looking at the lock out charts
dolomite must of finally gave out
no way to test ph at the moment
and its actually on the two upper middle fan leaves

Next time we do this I am going to run Grow nutes until the last 3-4 weeks.

With the small cup, switching over so early following normal feeding schedules is just not working out. lol..

My pH is 6.7, but still have N def issues. I've been using BioGrow mixed in with the flowering nutes. but it's not helping.

I really wanted to enter this but I don't do auto, but I still put a clone in a 16oz just to see how it fairs against all those auto growing pros.

its in perlite and coco, with 3/4 of an inch of happy frog soil on top ....i feed it GH lucas formula and gave it a bit too much plain water up till now so hopefully feeding it correctly will make it darken up

its OK hex you can play for fun, the next contest i do will surely have something to do wit both autos AND photos, or really whatever the member wants it to be.

the reason for this contest was to draw more people to the auto-flower forum and get this place kicking a little, i can honestly say ive seen a difference in traffic, but thus, i am a mod and maybe its easy for me to notice things like that, but i plan on doing more things and hopefully getting this sub-forum more popular.

enough about my silly plans. I just want to let everyone that I will be making a NEW THREAD today that will be stickied in the autoflower sub-forum for ALL entrants to post pics of either a. seedling that has at least been started and growing...b. a vegging autoflower in a solo cup or c. a few week flowering plant!...i know not all will be to this stage and thats OK but we DO need to get the contest moving along if i plan to have christmas off :) ....I MUST REPEAT THIS FOR SOME CLARIFICATION HOWEVER: ALL ENTRANTS MUST MUST MUST MUST POST A PICTURE OF THEIR ENTRY IN THE NEW FORUM THREAD WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF THIS POST (9/10/13) IF FOR SOME REASON YOU MISSED THIS POST IT IS OK AND WE CAN WORK SOMETHING OUT PROVIDED YOUVE AT LEAST POSTED A PICTURE OR SOMETHING TO LET ME KNOW YOUR STILL IN THE COMPETITION...I have noticed there are many entries....some willing to provide alot of good detail and pictures and others not so much so. it is okay if you dont want to share alot, 1 pic is fine but please remember, THE ENTRIES WHO HAVE THE MOST PICTURES, INFORMATION AND THE LIKE WILL HAVE MUCH BIGGER ODDS OF WINNING SINCE THEY HAVE PUT IN ALOT OF EFFORT INTO THE CONTEST AND SIMPLY BECAUSE IT IS EASIER FOR US AS JUDGES TO JUDGE SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE MORE INFO ON THAN JUST 1 PIC....basically what im saying is. you can post 1 pic, 2 pictures, 3 or 50...it doesnt matter to me, if you have a REALLY beautiful plant and it beats out the competition then really one pic is all you need...but the more pictures me and the other judges SEE of the entry the BETTER WE CAN MAKE AN EDUCATED DECISION ON WHO THE WINNER IS, AND THIS GOES FOR THE MEMBERS AS WELL...REMEMBER THE RIU COMMUNITY WILL DECIDE 2 OR 3 OF THE CONTEST WINNERS. if you really want to win and think YOU have the best then BE SURE TO SHOW IT. remember we arent mind readers, we can't know youve grown the nicest ass plant in a solo cup ever :) you need to let us know that way we can choose you!

Anyways, back to what i was saying about the new thread, it will be made shortly from when i post this....Please try to get a pic of your entry up within a week or two of the new thread being made, i understand things come up and there will not be a deadline as i know some people will be busy and not see this post HOWEVER....as time goes on and we get later and later into OCTOBER I will start keeping track of ALL the entries who HAVE posted there cup and ALL the entries who have NOT posted their cup. I will PM the people who havent and if enough time goes by that i receive no response about the contest their names will be REMOVED from the contest/prize list...i know people have real life duties andi know this contest is for fun however, i have noticed a small but loyal group of people have hung around this thread and NOT ONLY put in ALOT of their own personal time and work into making this a success for themselves, but theyve also helped ME with numerous daily tasks that i have needed done pertaining to this contest. THOSE people who put the most into this contest WILL get the most out of it, I think that goes without saying but...im going to say it anyways :) as time winds down on the final weeks of the contest everyday I will put out a top members/ top entries list...this list will include the people who have been not only doing the most work involved in growing a nice solo cup, but SHOWING as well..it will sort of be an unofficial top 5 or so that have REALLY nice entries and a GOOD chance to win. of course NO winners will be picked until November (when the contest is over )....its more to weed out the entries who entered but posted no result.

that is all, thank you:)

Gonna run them a bit longer in 12/12. until the seeds are done on the one I pollinated.
Just checked one of the seeds on the older spyder. Should be done next week.

About a week. but only about a dozen calyx took on this one as well... So i got about 24 seeds total from 2 plants lol...

I hope i can do better with the cross. No fuckin way i can make enough seeds with such a low pollination rate. lol
STILL waiting for the BD to turn...

makes me wonder what took on mine
still waiting on herbies order to arrive so i can get a reship
i think im going to start using another bank
i told herbies a easy cheap way to pack the beans
i got argued with somewhat and told their methods were just changed for stealth reasons


APPARENTLY NOT WORKING

I just did the math and the older spyder is 8 weeks which makes the younger ones 6 weeks. they have a 10 week life. so as long as this took NOW on the second try(first was 18 days ago). then by the 10 week mark my seeds will be done.

I have a seed i just pulled out of the older spyder. It's hard and slightly dark but not mature. probably viable. but i wanted to see if they would be done in time. :) looking gooooooood. and i have plenty of pollen from the second male left for next time.

That's why I save the pollen a few days and dust again.

Yo stew looking good!! Eh Dank we need a better close up on Yer lady. Get her posing sexy. I wanna be dazzeld by sparkling frost. I cant see her sparkle?? I would vote for myself but that would be weird y'all. Gotta impress me. I've noticed from the small cups there is nitrogen deficiency left and right. Seems autos are nute hogs.

Oh TeK you growing bca too right??
