how big is your watering can? and how often do you feed them? too much nutes can cause lockup and burning, but if your flushing it well with water in between feedings id say youre probably ok...

Probably about 3 litres, but yes iv been feeding every other time I water! They seem happy enough :)

Happy growing everyone!

Also I was thinking of adding a 'what u smoking?' thread too this section, got the idea from cool posting his stuff.

Anyone think that would be good as a little social hub? Obviously all opinions welcome if it's not a good idea then I won't be upset :) but I know I still buy from a dealer and get very varied bud.... So just a thought if anyone likes it I'll do one :)

Hanky, great progress mate!!! :hump:

It seems that I'm gonna lose!!
Don't matter though, I'm happy for you!!
What do you mean by flushing? If you mean that you poured let's say about 3lts of water straight in there, I don't know if it's the right thing to do.
Won't make things worse, but there's a big argument going on about this on every single forum.

I'd say you just give them plain water 'till you see they're doing better but it's really your choice bro!!

Cheers!!!

Hey man, I mean I just flushed all the nutes out of the soil so it can begin recovery straight away, I know people who do this and it shouldn't matter at all :)

Yeah I'm gonna won but u did have a setback with the snapped stem!

Thanks guys! Roll one!
 
Hanky: I just read through your grow thread and I am about to start growing the same Auto Blue Amnesia and noticed a couple things.. First off, I saw you topped one, and it looked like it worked well.. Any idea if it yielded better results than the one you left alone??

Secondly, was it looked like you defoliated them.. Is that the case?? I've heard it doesn't really harm Autos, but it could slow their growth..


I figure you're still a couple weeks out from smoking, and I'm still about 2 weeks away from germination because I'm going on vacation.. I'm doing a hydro grow as my first.. Kinda nervous..

Cheers for reading the thread man. I'm not sure if it will yeild more or less yet as growth slowed for a week after topping. And also no I have not defoliated them at all what made u think that? You should never do that unless your lollipopping.

And I'm still a few weeks from harvest so probably a month or two from smoking it as it'll be dried and cured properly. Check back in then buddy.
 
I suppose I saw a couple of your progress pictures and it looked as if there were a bunch of fan leaves removed.. Maybe it was the angle of the shot??


After doing a ton of reading on a few of these forums, your Autos definitely look a lot better than some of the others I've seen.. I'm going to be SCROGing, as the enclosure I'm using is 2ft x 2ft x 3.5ft.. I was considering topping it for height control but I'm hoping to see how your topped on turns out in comparison..

No worries mate the Un topped ones just like a big Cola so won't have that many fan leaves, never remove them!

Cheers for the compliments I'm really happy for my first grow! Will aim for improvement next time but I really don't know when as I may be moving :( maybe a secret outdoor spot!

I'm going too be doing a scrog next but I'm not sure autos are the best choice for a scrog as I'd want too choose when too flower, as in when it's filled the screen enough. Food for thought! Roll one

Also I have a fairly major problem that's developed mainly on the untopped plant, I'll get pics up Tomoro but I have some severe browning on the edge and tips of the leafs!

I really don't need a big problem this close too harvest! I don't know if it's just nute burn or not but I'm panicking a bit! Also as the summers coming in the cabs getting hotter, may need some sort of cooler now :s

Please don't all go wrong at the end!
