Diesel Berry, Cole Train & Skunk 47... 2nd Grow

kieran142 · Jan 13, 2014

Hi guys,
This is my second grow, first one was a missery due to poor conditions.

These are on the 16th day from seed used a propogater and coir pellets for germination and worked a treat.

Then transplanted to 2L Bottles with a 50/50 Perlite coco mix and started used the sensi grow formula provided by the local hydro store where the guy told me to use this with the tap water in my area no worry about ph no problem. So I haven't tested the ph since I began using it and it doesnt seem like I am having a problem.

Now at day 22(ish) and had nice growth and watered every 2-3 days when the pots are lighter with some runoff. The only real question I have is when would you recommend transplanting again? got roots showing through bottoms of 2 plants and roots visible on sides of all. Love the work you do on here guys, been a very helpful source to me...enjoy!

Everything's looking ok, the only thing I would do is buy a cheap ph tester and test the water .... All water supply has chlorine in it .... I use my tap water but straight out the tap it's not the right ph, I leave it for 24hrs and the chlorine evaporates and then it tests the right ph of 6.0 .. Good luck

where can i get pellets ... plates for germ or what where they made of!??! i just got in deisel berrys and candy kush in 5 each

also heads up go straight to 5 gallon to 7 gallon pots or buckets advice from experienced auto grower even 3.5 and 4 gallons are failing out...he had few 10 gallon pots with 9 in colas so test was proven

Hi again steve, second time lucky hopefully!
Got a used Hanna ph tester from eBay but think it's had its day. Can you recommend any to me?
The coir pellets I got where from eBay and cost around £5 for 100.
And cheers for the heads up with the pots, 30Lish you think?
Cheers

Hi guys, quick update on the plants.
Thanks for the link to the ph stuff Steve opted for the paper option and should be here tomorrow.

Transplanted all plants to 11L pots a few days ago and all seems to have gone well apart from the cole train which is drooping. Gave them all a good feed last night so will let you know if that has resurrected the problem. Also could be a ph problem so will test when the papers arrive.

2 diesel berrys and skunk47 do however look healthy, don't want them to grow too fast because I have to move them into a tent with 600W HPS at the end of the month when I move place, so any ideas on slowing down growth rate would be appreciated. Will be topping all but the autoflowers sometime soon.
Cheers!

Plants all looking pretty healthy, been leaving the tap water out for a day or two then adding nutes and getting ph bang on 6 with the strips.

Topped the skunk 47 and the cole train yesterday and seems to have gone well.

One of the 2 diesel berries is now showing sex and the other one is developing a little slower.

Still watering every 2-3 days at full strength.

I am going away for a week as of Friday so the plants are in the hands of a friend so will update on return.

kieran142 · Jan 22, 2014

A better one of the auto sexing...

Blazenpyro · Jan 30, 2014

hope ther going well! been taking pics along the way ill be checking back in when there worth showing =D few of my stronger ones are auto'ing well some runts went from 10-6 works out tho. saves space

Stevieh · Jan 30, 2014

Everything's looking good ...... I don't think you want to slow down a growth rate of a auto, I think you want to get it as big as you can as fast as you can because it's on a timer in a kinda way ..... This might be wrong but it's what I would imagine .....I have never grew a Auto though .... But I would read up on it and let me no if I am right

kieran142 · Feb 3, 2014

Hi guys,
prob 5 weeks into grow in a tent now under 600w hps.
Still under 24 light, topping went well and now seeing flowers on one of the autos.

Quick update, all is looking good just got one concern with the Cole train. Leaves are all drooping, the other plants are all fine. Could have been the move but would have thought she would of got over the shock by now. Will have a read to see what this could be....

Also put some lines in to pull the tops apart as they where all bunching together abit.

Been supercropping here and there lightly on some of the branches and now noticing the nice strong bases forming.

Switched to 12/12 2 days ago and the plants seem to be coping fine, guzzlling the nutes still and just watering until runoff everytime.

Autos are on flowering nutes and using it all up no problems.
When I see first sign of flowering from the others I will move them over too.

Flowers are growing everyday, pretty impressed.

All still good, had a bit of curling on the auto leaves closest to the light so moved the light up a few inches. Stems are looking super strong! All good apart from that. Watering with roughly 1.5L per plant until runoff everyday at the start of lights on.

Signs of pistils forming on the skunk47

no signs from the Cole train as of yet,
