First autoflower grow & dwarfs colossus

marsdaley · Nov 6, 2011

So this is my first autoflower grow, i have the plants in their final container , some of my empty protien mix cans, their pretty big, do you think its adequate. These two are 7 dwarfs colossus , i soaked them in a paper towel for like 12 hours one was cracked and the other was just barely.. im very pleased to see they have already broke the surface just 24 hours later. I also have some easy rider or lowryder #2x coming from attitude, i will plant 1 as soon as they arrive so there will be a little staggering. One of my main concerns is i dont have any ventilation in my closet so i can keep it stealthy, no giant vents or any of dat shit lol, i just got this bag thing off amazon that emitts C02, will this be ok.. aand ill show you my seed collection lol the advanced critical im planting in june next year at my favorite fishing spot it said it gets like 3 meters high so ima be floatin :bigjoint:

oh nd tha best part is everything i got is feminized

ill try to post pics every sunday

Well ima pretty impatient person poked my head in next day nd they started ta lift them selves up.. ill put some pics up later. Any 1 who wants ta comment give advice or just say whats up is cool. ill put some pics up of what the strains look like too,(not mine or anything ive done) but just ta give you an idea.

The second is the easy ryder.

Should be good...

marsdaley · Nov 7, 2011

Well day 2 lol .. the one on the right is doing real well the seed attached to the stem is pretty cool ha, im worried about the other one, i guess i planted it way to shallow and when i was spraying it with water the WHOLE thing moved... so i very carefully took the bottom and put some dirt around it sprayed and did it again. the picture doesnt show it very well but there are green leaves starting to open the cotyledon or some shit but do you think she will survive???

onlycucumbershere · Nov 7, 2011

sup man, interesting stuff with that CO2 bag. I've never heard of having NO ventilation lol I'm no expert so I'll see what others say about it.

I think you're poorly seedling will be fine. Just make sure the root is beneath the soil and maybe try to stand her up a little... they're very hardy plants and can usually take quite a beating, but you still gotta be careful, especially with lil baby seedlings so be very gentle!

Subbed

Have a looky at my set up when you get a mo' I'm flowering as of today after one month of veg. I have a shed set up so there's lots of obstacles lol being in the UK and outside, I'm expecting it to get real cold in the next month!

You picked the right site to get involved with mars, I've learned so much already!

SuBbEd RiGhT uP

yeah as Cumbers said ... no ventilation??... but there are 100's of ways to grow and i won't claim to know them, watching this one intently...

oh i had to remove one of my seedling due to doing a sloppy potting job... in 1 day it had gone from being 1/2 " tap root to 1&1/2".... had to make a much larger hole (with a screw) and shove the little fella down :-)

.... its doing fine as you can see... just be very gentil

marsdaley · Nov 8, 2011

yeah the ventilation is worrying me but im hoping the bag will work some magic, but i do a very good job with hiding this like no1 knows besides you peeps lol nd ventilation fans sticking out the wall wouldnt be to stealthy...ohhhhhhhhhh nd did i read in one of yals thread u got the grow bible,,, i do too thas great ass book man lots of helpful shit in there,, one day wen im older i wanna mess around w/ trying ta breed my own personal strain lol won no1 else have it .

benzi2191 · Nov 8, 2011

SUBED BRO! yeh be good to watch these i have some auto's going in after my grow is done but yeh be intresting to watch this mate good luck!

marsdaley · Nov 8, 2011

good ta have some ppl followin this,, makes me feel im doin somthin right lol well easy ryder came in the mail 2day. it was like 48 bucks

for 3 fem seeds SHIT hopefully i can make a lil profit nd have some smoke wit these.. anyways here they are, have 1 germing in paper towels now

also i gotta few questions, troutie and cucumbers seem a little more inventive than me .. how could i lightproof a closet door?? my best attempt is a towel taped on floor inside at the bottom, and like a trashbag curtain right wen you walk in,, there has to be a better way..

marsdaley · Nov 9, 2011

ha well 3 days since they popped up, ummm got the easyrider planted nd ill put up some pics of my door so i can get some advice on lightproofin tha bastard better,(its alot worse when the other light is on) oh nd i put up a pic of the nutes im using...

Easy rider

heres the nutes

7 dwarfs #1

and my damn door

7 Dwarfs #2, i dont know if you can see it but the other half of the seed is still stuck on the cotyledon nd they cant open nd im afraid to mess with it Advice??

troutie · Nov 9, 2011

well i can see from the pics of the door that the curtain is see through... the curtain is the right idea... but your gonna have to make sure its light proof (use what you have but tape several layers together old soil bags opened out, or pieces of tarpaling stuck together. pin it to the top of the door frame and tape it too... then do the same, pin and tape it down the hinge side of the door frame if you have enough overhang at the bottom and down the remaining (untaped side) it should when pulled into position block 99% of the light leaks... (tape and pins fix most stuff and can be removed without needing any repairs or making good)...

if there is still some visable leaks... you can get some sticky foam draught excluders for the door shuts..... or the brush types for the bottom of the door.

with the seedling ... if the seed is still stuck on the "ling" after a couple of days after sprouting its exceptable to mist the seedling and after 20 minutes EASE.. not Wrench the seed case off the seedling... i had to with one of mine... i misted it... let it soak in and when i gently touched it from shaft towards the tip it let go and slid off and its doing good now :-)

... be gentil and you wont harm it... i wouldn't use a cocktail stick or tweasers just because i wouldn't feel what i was doing propperly... but i guess thats my preference and others may say its better not to touch it ... but fuck it i wash my hands! lol

marsdaley · Nov 9, 2011

ok ill prob wait 1 more day nd see if it can muscle itself open , cuz thts thew one i had to help into the soil to nd i don think its got enough roots ta be fondeld yet but thanks for the advice man

troutie · Nov 9, 2011

anytime fella... keep it up!

ILuvSkaterChix · Nov 9, 2011

Simply take Gorilla Tape in thin strips and run it all around the frame, right agianst the raised part where the door and frame meet.
Then take an old rag, cut it to the width of the door, roll it up and tape it right where the door rests when closed.
Very cheap and if you take your time and do it right very effective.
...Total Stealth.

marsdaley · Nov 10, 2011

Well my little lady tht was havin trouble wit her roots aint lookin to good, i helped the seed off nd i can see its stopped her from gettin started, hopefully she can pull through

troutie · Nov 10, 2011

im sure it will .... i had to take one out and make a deeper hole and put it back in ... then the seed got stuck on the top .... so its about 2" shorter then my other two... but just as advanced into flowering although its smaller .... so its veg got messed up by a couple of days... but the flowering timer kicked in on time.

marsdaley · Nov 10, 2011

good ta know nd you do got some thick stems man , you think its possible to purposefully strectch the autos toward the light so you mit get more bud??

troutie · Nov 10, 2011

i don't think stretching does any real good... it just means that the plant is trying to find more light .... which means thats effort that could be used for building a better structure... all visably streched plants i've seen have small buds

marsdaley · Nov 10, 2011

yeah makes sense its jus you see all the pics of autos on like attitude nd stuff nd they are some pretty ass plants lol , thinkin after christmas ima buy myself a 400 watt hps/mh light set off amazon maybe tht will help.... how bad are your plants reeking?? u think i even gotta chance of keeping tht smell in the closet??

Jay Johnson · Nov 10, 2011

Im a proponent of purposefully stretching some of the smaller autos. Im currently trying to add a little stretch early on to my Diesel as its supposed to be really small. But yea, there is a thin line there for sure, too much stretch can kill your yields. I think when you get the 400 watt, they will naturally stretch taller with all the extra light.

Im tuned in man!
