AMEN! This is exactly where Im at as well. I had such a long drawn out run going reg seeds...hell even fem seeds that I was ready to get back to clones and the convenience of harvesting every 9 weeks. I'll be running my first set of autos in the next week or so. I have ZERO experience with them
In regards to your tap waters pH -I have the same fluctuations in mine as well. My pH can fluctuate as much as +/- 0.8-1.0 ever few months or so. I noticed over the summer, I didnt have to add any pH down, but now that the season is changing my pH is now coming from tap at 6.8-7.0.

That dépend how you will feed them , I was using à ratio of 1-1-1 with ghe from start to 2 weeks of flower before switchING to flower ratio and they was bigger then when I was started flower ratio at the first sight of flowering look for seymour bud on autoflower.net this guy was able to make some heavy harvest with autoflower like think différent

Thank you

Since we're talking about auto's here's a shot I caught with my phone today of my Mephisto Sour Hound F2 Auto Fem, end of this month is 60 days from sprout:

So as an update today. I busted out my old PPM meter from before I went to the EC and checked my tap water and it was half the PPM's it was before so......

Thanks (again) to brother @OneHitDone for his help. I'm trying feeding using R/O today to see how that works out. I'm thinking maybe the tap is causing a lockout of some type.....? If not OHD recommended a product from ionic that I will give a try to.

So the big girl got fed with R/O and an EC of 1.8 with PH 6.2 and the auto got the same treatment. The two coco babies in veg got fed R/O with the veg nutes at an EC of 1.4 and a PH of 6.3.

I will be swapping the res on my two larger cuts in veg in DWC to see if that helps them and then go from there. The GG cuts will follow.

Thanks for checking in
Cheers!

Here's a shot of the GG #5 clone that I rooted straight into coco, let's see what it turns out like without the stress of almost dying like the first go around from my absence lol......



And this is the Blue Dream seedling from the bag seed my buddy gave me a little while back, I really hope this plant is a girl



These two plants and the auto are under my HH Progro 260 for the moment until my other Flower LED light gets built. This light doesn't seem to veg too bad lol........

Thank you my friend I am getting excited. Plants seem happy today. I think we nailed the issue being the water. I'm out for a couple of days for my monthly oil changes so I got all the reservoirs changed out yesterday to R/O + nutes and H202.

The clone is taking off, but to be fair also, the first time I ran the GG girls I only topped once to get an idea of what the plants would do naturally, this time I m topping young like I am use to. We will see how it goes. I should be building my other (2) LED lights soon, waiting on some more parts and need to order one more driver, but the COB's shipped. I am very pleased so far with the first light setup, so much so it has made me want to set the other two up in a similar fashion. I am happy with the Khatod silicon lenses and the Cree COB's. I will be building a second 3x3 DIY COB light to replicate the first using 3K 80CRI 3590's, and then will be building a veg light using 4 5K 80 CRI 3590's.

I am further along on my auto from sprout than I thought so keeping an eye on it, smells great and looks great and I think there is some purpling coming out on some of the calixes but we will see.

The big GG girl in flower looks a lot happier today as well, she drank almost all the run off over night. My next plans to keep up on the changes is to get the external res setup going for the veg tent. Then when the two flower tents are void of plants in coco, we will go to RDWC in both of those as well.

My current debate is (2) vs (4) buckets/plants in each flower area but I still have time to figure that out.

Thanks for checking in guys, will have more pics in a couple days.

Cheers!

If you plan to veg and flower under the same light 3500k is the way to go but if it's only for flower go with the 3000k

I will have (2) 3000K flower lights and (1) 5000K veg light when it's said and done thanks for your input.

I might build a 2 cob light for the closet tent as an all around getup and go 3500K there.........

Sick dude, let me know how the build goes, I'm looking to build one myself, all 3500k
Glad you got the nutes and water sorted too mate!!

I really need to stop in the LED section so i can decipher these strange words you guys are saying

Looks like I will just need to keep an eye on the yellowing but we will see little by little. The plants are doing well thus far, and getting better. Always something to keep track of or tweak and dial in right lol.........

I've really been looking into no till but the soil makes me paranoid cuz of bugs just like the coco. So that's why I am giving hydro/dwc a try. Who knows what the future holds. The flowers from my soil grows were great and they were easy to keep tabs on.

I love doing hydro too, just found it intensive for mixing nutes and flushing etc. I don't get the same yields now but the quality is much better.
As for bugs, I just put neem meal in my mix and let it cook for 6 months, by that time, its all is useable form!

I am going to add a res soon to the veg tent setup with the buckets hooked up recirculating and see how that goes. I should in theory then be able to just pump and dump from the res........

Sounds good buddy! I had a recirc hydro going for a few grows, it worked really well but the flushing each week got to me. I like my system clean so would flush, then sterilise again so it would take an hour or so. Are you going to run a system with bennies or just usual hydro nutes?

I have been using Flora Nova Grow and Bloom, but in light of the recent issues it seems with my tap water changing on me I just ordered some Ionic Hard Water to try today. Will see how that works for me. Baby steps. I'm still a new grower lol

Ok guys little pic update for you, here's GG#13 today, she seems to be coming back nicely from the yellowing the last watering and feeding was with the R/O, will do it one more time and see where we are at then.
