Hey thanks man, I would be happy to help anyone as much as possible brotha thats what the community is for after all. youll have to get me the link to your journal when you get it up and going man.

UPDATE - Day 26 -

Well boys so far so good, as you can see the girls look healthy feeding them microblast and bloom now really starting to perk up i can see the flowers about to come in and do what they do.. the smell is of sweet stinky skunk almost a tropical stinch though. sorry about pic quality ill be updating with better quality pics here soon. keep it green.

Well boys I got into a fight with my better half tonight and while mixing up the girls water I was so heated that after i added the ferts i forgot to ph balance the water meaning that the water went into the pots at about a PH of 3.5..... ouch mother fuckin ouch..

hope i didnt kill them. luckily i noticed within the hour what i had done and began to flush the plants with a coupe gallons of very basic water... hope i dont acid burn them too much opr cause any stunted growth... im about 99% sure they will be fine however im only 50% sure that it wont hurt the over all yield in the end...

tough day tough day... cant wait till i have my own personal smoke to enjoy for days like this man.. a true medicine marijuana is my friends... now i gotta run out and buy some while i have some growing on the vines... so frustrating.

Hey dude,
don't panic too much I'm 98% sure they will be fine and 98% sure u wnt notice about the yield. Unfortunately women afte frustrating I know mine does my nut in when I'm tending to my garden. But hey where would we be without them right?... Coming to think of it probably the pub..

they look good man.. that one in the 1st pic is bushy as fuck..is there any differnce in phenotypes other then that??...oh and i whould'nt worry about your PH aslong as you flushed them they should be kool.

Well good news the girls survived the bad watering just fine i got a little burn at the tops of the plants on some of the new growth on just a couple of them nothing serious everything is looking goods the bud sites are really starting to get to work and produce for me, first signs of nuggets comin through.. cant wait to watch them get dense and thick.









PLANTS IN GROW ROOM

hey man im along for the ride as well. i have to say i'm very impressed with the t5's. contemplated purchasing a set awhile back and now i'm dissapointed i did not..

anyways, just got easy ryder beans sprouting in some rockwool now and im following along with you to see what i can be expecting as well. info on your feed schedule is helpfull as hell cause im on different boards hearing various info but not seeing pics. the pics are proof positive bro so keep up the good work. !

theyre branchy bushy girls huh? good photos man. and good advice " don't tend your garden angry."

good luck and yeah this is my 2nd autoflower grow, a newbie still in this arena..... "quicksilver autos suck, dont waste your monies on them". easy ryders seem to get great reviews!

Thanks man, yeah i love those t5's they are the shit i plan on expanding on the t5 platform for my next grow ill be running 12 of them for 20 plants. I would be happy to help with your grow any way i can possibly help my friend, I have to say you picked a great AF strain to go with, its a very hardy strain great for testing and things like that as far as autoflowers go anyway.. as far as my nute sched. i wouldnt say to follow my plan haha.. im testing organic nutes.. this is my first ever personal grow but i have been involved in several other grows this time also being my first with organic nutes i am testing them to hold up to all the claims i read about them such as nute burn resistance as well as a claim about constand feeding leading to larger yield. basically my plan so far has been..

Germinate paper towel method and placed directly into the soil ( I would suggest that you plant them in the pots you plan to finish them in and not rockwool like you have done just because these plants DO NOT like to be transplanted.. i know this first hand. You have done this already it isnt THAT BAD of a thing i mean they will do just fine dont even worry about it just i suggest not transplanting anymore for the rest of your grow besides when you transplant the rockwool to its final resting place.

If you are doing a soil grow and i assume you are i HIGHLY suggest foxfarm ocean forest.. its has worked wonders in every grow i have seen its simply a great soil medium. now what i did as far as feed goes is simply after i planted them i did a heavy watering (ph balanced.. i suggest 6.3 as the balance all the time no matter what, thats just me.) then i would do a simple watering just like this about every 3 days (whenever pots dry out my pots get light at about day 3 after a watering) i did this untill week number two about day 8 or so this is where the testing came into play i starting feeding ferts at day 8... i started with just grow formula about 1/2 stength... so basically grab a tbs fill it half way with grow fert and i put it into a gallon of water...

I only fed with GROW formula the next two waterings after the first GROW watering, Week 3 i started adding at 1/2 strength grow and microblast formula i did that untill about day 28 and then i started feeding MICROBLAST, GROW, and finally BLOOM formula all at full strength this time and i have been doing that ever since.. I always balance my water to about 6.3 though... take note of that its the range that allows the most nutes to be absorbed by the plant in a soil medium. so basically besides week 1 i have been feeding with EVERY single watering some would HIGHLY object to this method especially to the continued use of the GROW formula in my watering even after the plant has started flowering.. i do this to keep the nitrogen rate high in the plant.. i could go on and on for reasons why but according to a TON! of research i did leading up to this grow the nitrogen will in the end keep my plant on the optimal track of high yeild for this plant.. as well as prevent yellowing in older leaves towards the end (though yellowing is natural and common toward the end of the grow) like i said this feed sched. is a test run for a forumla i plan to create for my next grow and i would follow my plan at your own risk haha.

once again thanks for coming along with my grow start up your journal and ill be sure to keep in touch with you through your grow.

Its seems every single plant is a different pheno haha atleast to me at this stage that is what im seeing although i dont have any complaints on the variations they all seem to make up for any negative they may have in some way or another.. basically it keeps the grow interesting haha watching several different pheno's grow keeps my easly bored mind into the grow.

I have theat very bushy dense one and that very indica looking short one that has VERY TIGHT bud sites on it.. looks like itll be one FAT cola or something.. but as soon as i think i got them figured out i go check on them and the one that WAS short is now only an inch below the tallest one and then next time i check itll be different.. basically been that way the whole grow haha but lke i said it keeps my head in the grow.

hey brother you dont need to transplant.
In the future, if you start with a 3 to 5 gallon container,and use a 400 watt hps thru the entire grow,you can get an ounce plus on the autos. Your doing everything right and not making any beginner mistakes.
Your plants look great

I have to tell you a very important thing. The only way people get busted is with a girlfriend argument.Never nevernever piss her off during a grow,better that she doesnt know at all. I say this to spare you big grief. I know from experience. Never argue with yer girl during a grow.
Never never ever ever never never ever.

hahahahaha very very true man i can see where you are coming from... though she does live here so i cant hide it and i made it very clear to her that she is doing atleast 5 years if we get caught haha so she has far much more fear of bein caught then i do... she wont be a bother or a problem but thank you for the advice i could see how thats very true.. if it was up to me man she wouldnt know at all but yeah i tend to put out flames instead of start them during the grow haha.

Dude your plants are awesome, your setup is clean, yer very good man.
I like the t5s too. I did the same grow and got about have an once with t5 per plant.
Then I got a 400 watt hps off Ebay for 85 bucks just to see any difference in the yield.
I went from half an once per plant T5, to 1 to 3 ounces per plant with 1 400 watt hps.
Just a thought. You do a great job man,thanks for being a grower!

damn dude I wasnt expecting you to read this that fast you must have been on when I was typing what a trip

Update - DAY 33 -

Well the plants are looking good... I have notice some sick leaves on the bottom of some of the plans just yellowing things like that... showing my nitrogen isnt keeping them as green as the claims i have heard... should be simple fix with a slight adjustment to my nute feed tomorrow, though regardless im not worried about it.. buds are coming in nice starting to pick up on growth little by litte.

Today i got my accent lights hung up, I got 2 x 3 foot 53 watt T5's (OF COARSE ) and i got them hung on both sides of the T5 platform i have been running... here is some pics for ya all enjoy ill be back with another pic update soon.
