Autoflower's under lec/cmh

Sweet Seeds Fast Bud#2 + Sweet Afghan Delicious. These are a week older on day 23. These are stretching up nicely now. Exactly what I want. Not too much heat directed at the plants, so they are happy

Day 23 from seed and most are already in flowering. A nice canopy developing here. These should be harvested by day 56 from seed

I chopped the other 3 in last update, some nice buds there, reckon about 2 ounces minimum which will tie me over nicely until this round is done.

All plants are on the same feed this week. Bubbled tap water with 4ml alg-a-mic - per 1 liter.

Day 26 from seed for afghan + fb#2

I have lowered the cmh lamps to 3ft away, so intensity increased by a fair bit. Lowered by about 1ft.

Got a bat guano, worm castings, sea weed, top max and fish mix tea bubbling away for next feed. All plants will get the same feeds from now on.

Day 19 from seed for Sweet Cheese auto's

Automazar, Sweet Skunk auto and the 2 high cbd auto industrial plant plants. All doing quite well. Some on day 19, some on day 26. The automazar is the bigger plant in the large air pot. It's got loads of added castings and bat guano in. It seems to be liking it. Got several tops already, after tieing down the top cola not so long ago at all... I still hope she can get some height going.

Plain water feed today, ph'd to 6.2. Fed all the plants, also buffering up new feed. 4 tablespoons of worm castings, some silicon, fish mix, sea weed and top max. No bloom yet

Dinafem Industrial plant auto's on day 31 from seed, 1 on day 24 from seed

Dutch Passion automazar on day 31 from seed. She's going to be bigger than the Sweet Seeds plants, but probably take 70+ days, not 56 days. I have removed the hps for good and replaced it with 315w cmh from my skunk grow. She has been under cmh for about 24 hours so far, but looks better already

Sweet Seeds Sweet Cheese auto's x 7, these are on day 24 from seed. I burnt these a bit with the nutes mix, I'm flushing them later today. Still, they're doing well for day 24. Already in flowering...

I have removed one of the 315w cmh lamps for the automazar. These Cheese's will have just 315w from now. They look happy in their ultra cool environment. These lamps cover 1m x 1m approx, so a 4ft x 4ft tent with negative pressure should be perfect, for this amount of light. 19 hours a day these are on. There is a skunk auto in a big pot in the middle of the tent. Supercropped the top bud to stop her growing taller than the cheese's. She looking like she'll be a nice bushy auto.

Sweet Fast bud#2 + Sweet afghan Delicious. These auto's are on day 31 from seed. These are very fast, considering they are 1 month old, there are some nice flowers growing on them

I overwatered them badly. I caused this myself. It's only in 1 of the tents. They will be dry in the next day or so, then feeds will start again. I had to flush them as I made a nutes tea that fried them.

I've just bought a ph tester too, so will be feeding them ph friendly feeds from now. I'm going to top dress them with some worm castings next feed too.

Thanks for stopping in.

you over watered them ? so you mean less food and too much water ? they look yellow so no food especially nitrogen

The feed was 3ml fish mix per 1 liter, with silicon, worm castings and bat guano, top max and alg-a-mic. It was so strong the plants started yellowing with burnt tips within 24 hours. So I flushed them and they got a bit saturated.

They are less than 4 weeks old in bio bizz all mix, which also has plenty of nutes. They were looking great until fed them the tea.

Yellow leaves isn't always lack of nitrogen. It can also be caused by overwatering, which causes lockout.

One thing I do know is the soil certainly isn't lacking nitrogen.

Once they dry out, these will pick right back up and thrive.

I'm going to knock the teas on the head and just add worm castings when I plant the seeds in future.

I never knew over watering can cause lockout.


learn something everyday

I'm a bit annoyed that I gave them the hot tea tbh. There are 3 plants on page 1 that I almost killed with another tea. lol

Trial and error. Serves me right for messing around with silly feeds.

As always, back to basics now for me.

Fed all the auto plants today. 5ml per 1 liter of plant magic plus soil bloom. Mostly organic, but have found my plants to love this feed. 5ml mixes the ph to 6.5 too, which is ideal. It's also designed for soft water use only.

Plants looking really good today. I did a very lite feed, like half a liter each. I expect them to want more feed tmrw.

Will take some photo's in a few days, whilst the cheese's recover lol

Auto cheese's day 29 from seed. Fed 5ml plant magic plus soil bloom today, also added a 250w sunmaster dual spec to raise temps + add more light in a decent spectrum.

Next up is the Fast bud#2 and the Afghan's on day 36 from seed. I must say the 630w cmh I have in here is proving excellent value for money. The plants are very healthy and flowering very nicely indeed.

Next is my high cbd tent. 2 Dinafem Industrial plant plants, going well under the 250w 6500k metal halide. Quite possibly the best standard metal halide there is! I really like the way plants react to this lamp.

Dutch Passion Automazar on day 36 from seed. She is being grown under D PApillon 315w cmh 4200k Philips daylight lamp. T5 has been removed to drop temps.

Never grown an auto this big before, she is just going into flowering which is great news. I was dreading I'd have to flip her to 12/12, but seems not. This plant is being grown on 21 hours lights on - 3 hours dark. Big air pot too.
