I switched to clear solo cups. Put little holes all ove the sides and bottom with a hot knife. With clear, you can see exactly what your roots are doing and when to transplant.
Not arguing, just saying, my autos have done great in solo cups for a week & half or a few days more, then 5 gallon. I LST and I average 6 + oz from each plant. I don't top but do tie all branches down for a flat top. 600 watt hps bulb, 20 hours a day. Do 4 plants at a time and they are covered...
I've waited too long to transplant at times. Found 2 weeks to be the max because cup will be filled with roots. The 3/4 gal might work well. I might try that too with one plant and see how it goes.
I tried planting in large container and they grew so very slow. Used a 16 oz solo cup with holes for 2 weeks and then to 5 gallon. No stress and grew much faster and better. I cut down the side of cup and ease the entire plant & soil into a hole the size of the cup. It barely disturbs the roots...
Thought Mephisto was the greatest until last two orders. 5 out of 7 seeds did not sprout and looked pitiful right out of package.
Never a problem in the past.
So many thought they were getting tax relief. I think many saw $10 a week relief but poor suckers didn't realize what Trump had in store for them for years 2-5 of that tax bill.
My ac infinity fan & filter were delivered today. Hood is way more heavy than the little winged one I had. Cheap folks didn't send me any vents so I'll make a trip to Lowe's tomorrow. I had a little bathroom type cheap fan with 4 inch vents but it wasn't doing enough. 600 hps puts out a lot of...
Big pic at top is Jack Herer with weird leaves. First 2 are Toofless Alien,same plant, Potted in solo cups same day as JH and transferred to blgger pot a week apart. Not great pics. I usually use my digital camera but battery is dead. Not good with operating phone or tablet. I'm a boomer.lol...
I'll get some photos when it gets a little bigger. The weird leaves look like cotyledon leaves. I pulled the first few off but decided to leave them alone. About 12 inches tall now, bushy and has about 10/12 of those leaves on it.
I've been lst, just like my others. I've got to pull it all out...
Yes. Growing one now, Jack Herer original auto and it looks a little mutant. Had rounded leaves, no serrated edges. Not all but a few. Thought I'd just let it grow to see what it would do. It's growing ok but ever so often more of those weird leaves pop up. Curious about it and how good the...
First time I've used a tent. Used a closet in the past. 2x4x5 and I've got 4 autos in there. They do so great that I should have stopped at 3. Getting crowded at 5th week. 2 Mephisto Fantasmo Express, a Toothless Alien and a Jack Herer original auto from Fast Buds. I've grown the Fantasmo...
I love Autos. Seems when growing inside, the longer it takes to grow a plant, the more problems, nutrient def. you can have. With right set up and knowledge, should be able to get at least 6 oz.
