Auto-flower perpetual grow

Hi

So I plan to grow 3 auto-flowering strains every 2 weeks in an attempt to keep a steady flow of goodies. The first three seeds I am using are 1 x Lowlife Blueberry and 2 x Lowlife Lemon Skunk. All three are feminized so no worries there. Haven't put any thought into what the next set of three are gonna be but I'll do some looking around and see whats good...they will most likely be Lowlife again.

For the first week or two they will be in a little propagation box thing I made, not super pretty but it works well enough. In this box they will be under a blue 150 watt Envirolite.

Once they are looking ok and the new set of three ladies is due they will be moved into a bigger area, a Secret Jardin grow tent that is far to big so I have had to pinch it in some places and make it a tad smaller. There will be a 600 watt HPS in this room coupled with an extractor fan and carbon filter.

The soil is just some potting mix stuff I grabbed at a local garden store mixed with perlite. I have Organic BioBizz and Advanced Nutrients for food, might just experiment with them and see which one works best. They will end up in 1.5/2 gallon pots for the majority of their life.

Hopefully I can pull around an Oz a plant..that would make me happy. I will post pictures fairly often to share the progress.

So...as of right now I have the three seeds germing in paper towels, put them in at 16:00 yesterday, no sign of roots yet will check again tomorrow afternoon.

Peace out x

MZN,

I just germinated a DINAFEM HAZE AUTO on Oct 9th. I am a 1st time grower and I will take pics. I will post all details I have and done right now....Just wondering if we can team up together on this Auto grow, not sure if you have grown before but i have not....maybe we can learn and compare to help each other out on this grow. Let me know....:leaf:Keep on Growinz n Tokinz:leaf::bigjoint:

Ah sweet mate, haven't read too much on that strain, hope it all goes gravy for you. I have grown before, guess this is around my 5th grow but have been out of the game for 2 years so it is all new and exciting haha. For sure we can team up do you have a grow journal going? Send me the link if you do man.

Anyway, checked this morning and the seeds seem to be germing super slow, like they have been there for over 48 hrs and only one has a tiny root tip showing, this is much slower than my previous grows. If I have to get a new set of seeds I'm gonna be pissed. Anyway, I have 7 two year old Lowlife Auto-AK47 seeds that I threw into some paper towels too just to see if they would still sprout. They are not feminized but whatever, if I can get one female out of them I would be happy.

napa I'm gonna try and keep it as simple as possible so should be all good.

Peace out x

So...the two auto lemon skunk have yet to show even a sign of cracking in the seed...shit. The blueberry has a little tap root coming through so thats good I suppose......still, 1 out of 3 is pretty bullshit at like £6 a seed. Anyway, being that I'm in the UK I can get next day delivery on seeds so im going to order some more tomorrow and hopefully they will still be in the same cycle as the bluberry. None of the AK have germed yet but I would be more surprised if they did to be honest haha. Not sure whether to get Lemon Skunk again, I don't want my customer loyalty with Lowlife getting in the way of a good grow operation...hmm will put in some thought.

Peace out x

it must be nice to have easy access to seed banks in the UK, although I did order my seeds through Attitude Seeds, I have purchased G13 Pineapple Express(Fem), Snow White (Fem), Vanillla Kush (Fem), Dutch Purple Passion (fem), 2 freebies: Dinafem Auto Haze (Fem) Dinafem Roadrunner Auto (Fem). From the day I ordered them and purchased on-line it took 6 days to get them delivered in US. I was very impressed with that, all the seeds are supposed to be females but who is to tell what your really buying. I have zero experience in growing and this is my first and thats why I am only starting with the Dinafem Haze Auto. I just put my Dinafem Haze Auto under a CFL for 24/0. I will be leaving it under the CFL for about 2 weeks and them send her under my 400 watt cool tube light. I already started a plant of a unknown seed and I wil post pics later after work. Well I am off to work high as can be at 6 am.....later!!!

Ok on second thought the 9mm is a little too low.
If you go with an AK-47, you can have more bullet penetration and a little more bang for your buck.
I heard it kicks really hard and jams a lot though.

If you are growing outdoors, install a motion-sensor camera/M60 gun. Also, keep a pile of RPG's near, as they may come in handy

Ok so one of the Lemon Skunk seeds germed so I now have a Blueberry and a Lemon skunk in peat pellets waiting for them to sprout. Just a bit concerned with how slow progress has been so far, usually faster, I hope that doesn't mean they are gonna be bad plants....we shall see. Iv been to lazy to order the seeds yet. Il do it soon.

Peace out x

Whats up fellas, sorry took so long to get back, here are some pics of my little sprouts, They were germinated on the 11th and 12th of October. Also I have a pic of MamaDude Plant which is my 1st ever grow that I started on September 13th...It is a unknown seed, has very strong Indica features and characteristics....forgive my spelling I am smoking some Sexual Chocolate.....hahaha. Now that plant is 33 days old from germination, I am a NEW:leaf:NEWBEE DOOBEE!!! I have a personal journal on it from start to current day. I was over watering it, also I had a problem with high temps, 86 Degrees F to 96 Degrees F. Right now in the pic I attached is what she looks like after no watering for 8 days, I am going to feed it tomorrow with a full dose of Nuets for the first time....I am using Fox Farms Grow Big. My plant is looking much better than when I was over watering it....I will say this I purchased a Moisture Meter for my soil and its the best investment of $5.29 I have ever made....NO MORE OVER WATERING!!!!:clap: I am in the process of moving into a 2 bedroom apartment on Tuesday, I purchased a Darkroom Grow Tent 4'x2'x6' I currently have a 400 Watt Mh/Hps Cool Tube Light w/Digital Ballast. I need to get ventilation setup for my grow tent, can anyone please help me set-up my ventilation and tell me what I need...I was thinking of getting a 6" Fan with Filter so I can have it pull from the Filter through my Cool Tube Light and out the tent....Any help please??? Thanks. I will post more pics on my little sprouts. I have those under CFLs 24/0. I will do it for about a week and then throw them in my new grow tent. Peace out and thanks for reading and helping me grow good loving bud-ski!!!!!!:leaf::leaf:

Hey everyone sorry for being a lazy shit was away for a few days. I left the babies in the hands of my buddy (requested to be code named Mr Dirty....don't exactly know why...) but I'm back now with a fresh batch of pictures and updates. I am pleased to say that 2 out of 3 have sprouted and are now doing ok. The Lemon Skunk looks pretty perfect and stuff but unfortunately Mr Dirty didn't manage to get the Blueberry under the light fast enough and it stretched a fair bit (in the picture I have buried it down some) but its no fault of his, those girls just shoot up so dam fast. One of the 2 year old Auto AK47 seeds popped to my surprise and is now in a peat pellet. I have put the pellets in pots and soil now and have also bent the blueberry down a little. They are currently cosy under the 125watt envirolite. I bought a heat pad to germ them on cos I think they were so slow due to the wet paper towns being pretty cold.

Gonna have to get some more beans soon to start the next batch, not really sure which ones to do....I'm torn between Green-O-Matic, Lowlife Auto Kush, Lowlife Auto White Moscow, Blueryder Automatic, Diesel Ryder, Easy Ryder. I think I will grow them all at some point in this perpetual grow. Anyone got any comments on these strains?



Peace out x

Hey bekind looks like we are on a very similar timescale with these autos will be good to see the difference between the two strains. Ordered 5 fem Easy Ryders, 1 fem Lemon Skunk and 1 fem Blueberry this afternoon, they will be here tomorrow, think I'm gonna germ them on Friday. Got the new heat pad too so fingers crossed that will take a day or so of the germ time.

Peace out x

Day 5

Not much has changed really. They have grown a little bigger but yeah. Easy Ryder arrived along with 2 free feminized Warlock seeds....not sure what to do with them as I cant introduce a 12/12 light schedule with the autos and I'm not sure I have space to make an additional grow area with them :s

Ok so my DinaFem Auto Haze is a very retarded plant....I dont know whats going on with it but it might be a shitty seed. Its took some time for it to finally start, but its looking all deformed and wierd, I am not giving up on her though. Here are some pics...also is another bagseed baby and my 38 day old bagseed.

Thanks bekind hopefully they are healthy throughout the grow. Haha does that seedling have 3 leafs there? Looks weird but kinda cool. good luck with them anyway man.

Put 4 Easy Ryder seeds in paper towels this evening on a heat pad. Hopefully they will crack a little faster than the last ladies.

Peace out x
