My First Ever Autoflower Grow! (Short Stuff MI5)

Ok guys and girls this is my first ever autoflower grow and its going to be outdoors.
It's Short Stuffs MI5 Autoflower.

So here we go!
I got my beans in the ground on the 15th of April.

Day 1 of sprouting.. April/19/2010

All sprouted!!

Day 7 April/26/2010
I moved them all outside birds got 1 seedling 1 Seedling was just weak after a rain storm. Rest of them are doing great for 1 week
The dog wanted to be apart of this also...

Looks great bud you might want to put a dome over them or a clear plastic to avoid the birds and keep up the humidity.

They are in the box because the birds don't go in. The foil scares them (they don't like shiny things i guess.) and outside here in Asia humidity is 70-85% normally here.

Alright I grouped em up from smallest to tallest so far, the strongest are working on a second node, the weakest two so far are trying to make a first node. They survived a good thunderstorm not to bad for seedlings. They are nine days old so far and ill post a picture update on the 30th.

Happy growing!!

lookin good... Keep up the good work

12 days sprouting May 1st

7 are doing strong and 2 are suffering from weak stems and the rain storms messing them up. So hopefully these two will snag out of it and catch up.

Second set of true leaves are coming in now. Two Seedlings that are sick are between life and death but I hope for the best. I put in the ground also Lemon Skunk, Rocklock Fem, and a White Widow to fill up the rest of the pots. Also I nuted them all last night I will nute the Autos once more in a month with flower nutes.

Good luck. Growin mi5 myself right now

Im using regular black soil that you can find at any garden shop here.

@Radrick do you have any photos so that I can see your grow?

13 days old I just pulled another weak one so i have 7 left of the 10 auto's. Half are going ok rest are fluttering along. I just watered them today they were thirsty i wanted the pots to dry out cuz of the huge rain storm that flooded everything. One plant just one leaf was dried out so that came off. some are finishing up second node some are working on a third. Since I have the watering fixed up a tad now im hoping they will pull thru and get a little more life into them. These auto's really don't like outdoors at all what so ever. But that's ok ill breed the strong ones of the bunch if I don't kill them all. Hopefully the next seeds I put in the ground will be a little more hardy outdoors then.

Best of luck Ill update pics in a week!

14 days old two weeks from sprout. The two on life support are trying to hang in the other 5 finally got situated after I hoed the bitches soil to let some air in. That was the issue all along the soil was to compact and i had to break it up with a hanger so its fluffy again. Ran some 3% hydrogen peroxide (2 tablespoons) with a gal of water and used it to water all the plants a little bit last night woke up and they are happy.

The big one has two sets of leaves now and they are fattening up. The rest are working on node 1 or 2 and are catching up now.

19 days old and I watered with some flower nutes. They are slow growing still so I'm hoping they will pick up in growth soon.

Had a mondo thunderstorm, plants seem to like the hellishness rains they green up more. Plants are a node bigger and leaves are fattening up.

Put to much neem oil in the mix now all the leaves are sad so I'm faller feeding and soaking the soil to try and flush it out of the leaves and plant. Anyone used way to much neem oil before? How did you save it?

I have been spraying them off 3-4 times a day flooding the pots twice a day till the water is clear and foliar feeding before i go to sleep at night. So far its clearing up or looking like it is trying to. One plant is fine, the others look like lollipoped naked plants but the new growth that's just now starting is green the stems are strong so with a little luck I should be ok in a week or so.

28 days old. Two have recovered great. Other 4 we'll see they should make it just waiting. I moved them all in raised beds I made yesterday. I'm hoping this will fix a lot of drainage issues. I put fish on the bottom of the beds before I put soil on top for some more nutrients for the little girls. I have to go to the market and get some more fish today for the other 2 beds. In a week I'll share some pics of how they are. At least no more caterpillars and mites now.

Happy Growing.

whats up with the pics i'm a very visual person...lol

In 3 days ill update with pics I'm ashamed of them right now haha. Saturday I'll post some for you so you can see the new beds also. I'm hoping this helps them drain better too.

flower bed in construction, i tested it last night in a huge rain storm it drained great and plants didnt mind getting blasted by a huge thunderstorm it seems. Right now from the stunting they are small and ugly as sin. One is female it showed white hairs, other any day now. I have 5 white widow going one about 5 days old rest just came up.

The flower bed is going to be a shallow flower bed made of brick. Since I've had them in it they have starting re-growing much better even threw the heavy rains here in the summers. I put a bunch of fresh fish in the bottom them dirt on top they seem to like it and it has made the ones that are not stunted to horribly a nice bright green. Pictures coming later today.
