THE SETUP
1.2m x 1.2m grow tent
HPS 600W that i have used for the whole grow
EC meter only had it for a week.
4 DWC, 4 gallon buckets with a 20L/min air pump
2 x 9in fans
Carbon Filter and inline fan
Green Dream nutes.

THE GROW
I started this grow on the 11th feb this year so i am about 8 weeks in already. The easy ryders are at 8 weeks and the northern lights is at about 6 weeks. Right problems i have had a few as it is my first grow it is to be expected. i have leaves turning yellow at the tips and dying but they are still growing ok.
I have 4 plants 2 x easy ryders, 2 x northen lights. i seem to have a good one of each and a bad 1. easy ryder and northern lights A are doing ok. Northern Lights and Easy Ryder B are doing quiet bad to be honest. I might have to pull them if they dont improve soon.
I had to change my lighting to 12/12 due to the autos not flowering now after a week of 12/12 they are flowing. easy ryder A alot more then B. the northern lights aren't showing any signs yet.
I have uplaoded some photos that i took today.
i am keeping them at a EC of 1.5/1.6, PH is always 6.0 doesn't seem to move at all. temps are 70/80 lights on, 62/65 lights off. Why are my leaves dying?
In the photo of all 4 the big one at the back is Easy ryder A. bottom right is easy ryder B. Northern lights B is at the back and the better northern lights A is at the front left.

I will add more on friday, try and get a decent picture of them all. I pulled the little Northern Lights today it was well behind so whats the point in trying to flower it if it needs four weeks on its own. Just been out and got a timer so i haven't got to be in all the time lol.

Easy ryder A, is doing well bit of yellowing on the leafs but growing and budding well. I got some bud storm {GREENDREAM FLOWER} nutes for her and changed her water. She has got a while left yet 5 weeks maybe more. EC is at 1.7 since adding bud storm. she is about 2.5 foot tall, PH 6.0.

Easy Ryder B, is doing ok since it started growing again a few weeks ago but hasn't really started budding at all be lucky to get a joint off her lol. EC 1.4 dropped a little to see if this helps her out. PH 6.1.

Northern lights A, It is alive but not doing to well and hasn't shown sign of sex yet. i have dropped the ec to 1.2 just to see if this helps. PH 5.9.

I will be adding a little veg room to look for a mother. The seeds i am doing are.....
G13 white widow
Cole Train, i think thats what its called
2 x unknown but from some banging weed we used to get so fingers crossed they are female. i am doing these in soil never grown in soil so back to the old school lol.


Any comments and tips welcome

autoflowers perform best at 20/4 or 18/6 min. the entire grow. there life cycle is so short they need all that light for photosynthesis to occur properly. 12/12 isnt recommended for autos

UPDATE {will add pics tomorrow}

All is good apart from northern lights A is looking like i will have to pull it soon but aint that bothered, so it might end up being only easy ryders.

Easy ryder A is flying looking real good, smelling great and just a tease if i have no smoke lol. she still has white hairs but the is some crystals on the leafs and buds is this normal?

Easy ryder B the same as normal really

All 4 seeds have popped there heads up they are all under a 125w CFL to veg for a while maybe a month. They are all about a day apart so it is nice to see how much a day can do. The best 1 is the G13 white widow by far. Not adding nutes for 3 weeks

Question, when i get crystals on my leafs what does it mean and have i got long left? but with all the hairs being white still a good 4 weeks i hope!
