Northern Lights Auto - 150w LED

Bonjour
Do you use a lot more nutes than with soil? Would you say 2 time more?!?
I use 30% coco in my soil (15% wormcasting/15% perlite/40% batmix)and since I use a bit more nutes (25%)
I am going to try but I do like to know if I can add organic food in or do I have to use liquid organic ferts?
Is there a big difference in taste?

Bonjour
@madininagyal thanks for the link...could you assure me that their products are better than their led pannels choice...mars...lol
But since I am french, shipping cost is prohibitive...more than twice the price!
I'm looking for a shop/site like this in EU with everything I need in the same place and don't have to order in 4 different place to get half the things that I need.
I tried to ask on the UK growers thread but all I had was insults!??? They don't
like french people...but fortunately for me it is not the case of English girls when they come on holiday on french Riviera...if you know what I mean!
So now I have to source good organic plant food in EU...wish me good luck

Do you know biotabs??
What do you think about it?

Porrista where you buy the coco online or store? Thinking on going with this next.

That the one I use, Canna Coco Professional Plus+ that contains trhicoderma + Rhyzothonic.

I buy it on a local store, same and only store I can buy this stuff, at $40 per a 50L bag. I cannot buy online because in my country you need a permission for importing ferts and such stuff. Maybe it would be cheaper and easier to import CoGr Bricks but I haven't tried it. This is my first grow using Coco soil btw, before that the only good quality soil available was Floragard for Blooming which was very similar in texture and composition but nit made for this.

The smell is super sweet and fruity, I still can't recognize the kind of fruit, I mostly perceive the sweetness. I think this is going to be the last week for this plant, planning on flushing it in around 3 days and cutting it next Saturday. Fan leaves are starting to get yellowish already. I have stopped using A+B since last watering, yesterday I watered it with the final full dose of DryKoolBloom + BioBoost.

i'm a bit disappointed because I think this is going to be the last week for the left plant and I think it won't yield more than 2oz, I only see about 6 main colas that are very fluffy and fox tailed, maybe because of the strain or maybe because the plant got too close to the LED and the bud weren't getting the full spectrum they are supposed to get but only some spectrums. Or maybe because there are too much leaf and the plant wasn't getting too much light?

The right plant looks a bit more dense, I'm hoping that if it was a light problem, like having too much leaf for that lamp, the right plant will do better because it will not be sharing the tent with the left plant when maturing. (More light for her)

I'm also already germinating a couple of Holy Grail Kush seeds for the next crop.

Bonjour
I am sure that next time...With reg or fem...you will get more gr!
With auto in general..it is not so easy to have decent crops...
The plant reactions are different the feeding too and they are not potent as reg and fem (in that order)
Have a great day ★

Few more pics..

Update:

I was thinking on doing a flush today, but by looking at the plant and at the trhicomes at 200x, I see none of them is even milky, and the buds seem to be ongoing flowering production, with new pistils/hairs still forming so I think I will wait an extra week.

The plant is today at week 11 from seedling and 12 from seed, and it seems it will need a total of 14-15 weeks since seed or 13-14 since sprouting. At least I think if I wait the buds will finally get more compact or maybe a few more grams

interested in seeing how this turns out. nice looking plants! I'm thinking of doing a similar size grow soon.

I flushed on sunday and trimed all fan leaves ( a whole lot of them ) so that the plant consumes more nitrogen in trying to grow newer leaves. Checked it today and it is still producing new pistils in a coupe of colas, the other seem to have stopped and the remaining leaves were a bit more light and yellow, still not yellowing but I hope I can cut it down by sunday.

I will give the 2nd plant more time and light to see how much of a difference it makes.

I forgot to tell you guys:

1st plant: 2.5oz dry.
2nd plant: Unknown.. it is currently drying, but I'm thinking 3 or 3.5

I just cut the rest of the 2nd plant, 1 week after I cut the top part of it. (a week ago)

With the first plant I noticed I used too much A+B, with the second one, I reduce the A+B dosis for the last 3-4 weeks.

Hey @porrista.

i see you using the p150 i just got one also growing autos was wondering did you put it on the boost growth switch straight away or did you just use the veg option till flowering appeared and i see you had a complementary cfl did you put this in from veg also.

i have a 2' x 2' tent growing two ladies at once and its day 11 they have produced there 2nd set of leaves im just looking forward and seeing maybe throwing in two 45 watt cfls to help boost the vegging so i can train them to fill the whole 4 square ft, also come flowering did you supplement with 2700k cfls or just keep 6500k ?

Hey there. It depends. if they both are at the same stage, I put the 2nd switch until I feel they have enough folliage to take advantage of it, around week 3-4 for an auto.
