The Art of The Auto

Here are my easyryders at 42 days. The pistils have formed in the past week and a half incredibly. I guess about 30 more days to completion. They recommend 70 -75 days from germ to completion and so far they have gone like clock work.

Does this mean you can test some trim to see if your plant is suffering toxic Cal? Mix crushed trim in a sulfer solution. If you seen cloudy, toxic?! Or do you think we are talking nutrient solution?

nutrient solution... definetly

take a sample with a test tube and test with some fine sulfur (very small amount)

also, from experience.... you will see you nutrient settle out in the tank even in a high-circulation pump systme.... it just falls out cuz the ph (and ec due to excess nutrients [calcium etc]) can't support any more in solution

Thanks man, I posted that thread a while back but I figured some of you could get some use from it...
Picture time, Not the best quality but I can't get picks with the light off since I had to put them on 24/0 because of heat. Mossy's ALF#3
It hurts so bad to look at all this great looking bud on this thread when I have nothing to smoke
I won't have any smoke for a while, Maybe a month and the cash is so low that buying smoke is out of the question... Well atleast when I cut my babies I'll get to know the full effects of the smoke because my sences won't be clouded with shwag.lol

STICKY ICKY MOFO!
motion seconded!

very nice plants btw!

she had a bad belly....and her mom obviously told her to eat Grass....
but didn't explain Grass properly.

We've got a cat that eats lawn grass and then pukes up a green mass on our carpet. The times I've noticed my fan leaves munched on, I don't find any messes. Your dog, obviously, knows more than the government does about using natural remedies. It is kind of sad isn't it? Cannabis does wonders for alleviating my Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) symptoms. As the late, great Steve Irwin, says, "It's Nature's way".

I need some help. I am growing MI5 and Snowryder. I am on day 29/week 4. Pistils began showing about a week ago. So, am I technically on week 1 of flowering or week 2? Do you count the first week of flowering when pistils show OR after 4 weeks?

Morning everyone...

funny morning...you do get them....

The girls are on the patio..enjoying a bit time out of the grow cupboard...
suns shining...sea is a flat as a board..so we should be settle for a few days...

The DC F3's went down to isolation last night..no ball split yet...
but hey..I'll check tea-time when they have felt the heat of the day.


The Oguns males are starting to drop and I'm gonna make that cross too...

I got a new bag of compo..and I'm on me way to set some new seed....and do a bit ball inspecting...

what a start to the day...

Back later...

Male Loud & Proud...

mornin mossers... I'd say so... Big ol set hangin

sounds like a great morning... wish I had more to do to mine than just water and tweak! lol

The Usual Slutspects...

i just got some big bud and i know it's not to be used the first week of flowering. so i'm trying to figure out when the first week of flowering is. Is it after week four or when pistils began showing? I know for photoperiod it's when you switch to 12/12 but i'm unsure about autos.

Sounds about like the start to my morning. Woke up gave them a water and set a few freshly cracked Jem's into some dirt

The males is Proud there my friend, he has quite the structure.
I can tell ya id have to hold out if i were in that cold too
it would take a good bit of convincing

Glad to hear about the Oguns cross dropping and that your making more. Seems to me they like the cold.

Well, given my experience I'd def wait till week 4.. they are highly sensitive to nutes... dont overdue it! better to go light... (1/4 strength) and def wait till at least 28 days... FD mossy? this about right?

I need some help/advice here...This are pics of my auto berry that was germed on Oct 1st. This is my first grow and have made some mistakes and she was stressed by a few moves. Well she wouldn't flower so I put her on 12/12 on Nov 29th to give her a kick in the ass!! Well I thought it worked and saw some white pistols but they seem to be shriveling...or I was just seeing things!!! Well she is not looking good. I am thinking of just chucking her and starting new. Temps get down to 63 at night and up to 73 during the day with humidity at 35%....ph is 5.7 and ppm's are 900. Using GH bloom and Hygrozyme. I was trying to raise temps in their room so I turned on some cfl's that sat down next to the bucket and water temp got way to warm.... Any advice to help her or should I just rip her out and start new...I am leaving town for a week during the holidays and have no one to look after her. Was going to get a small pump and a 5 gallon bucket of ph'd water and set it up to add water to the reservoir while I was gone but if it is not worth it I won't spend the extra money.

looks like she was stressed pretty hard... This has been my experience with hydro... if things go out (especially ph) even for a little bit... the stunting shows through for a long time if not the entire rest of its life.... and a couple stresses virtually does the dirty deed to her... However, I never give up on my girls.... ever! But I'm not sure what to tell you here... FD... mosser?

J

ps - come to think of it... ppm at 900 might be alil high for autos... maybe that is part of your stress prob... cant remeber too well but I think 2000 ppm is max for a photo during flower... so 900 is rpooughly half max for a photo.. so thats probably a high level of nutes for an auto... they dont need much... not your typical bitch! lol

J

JM..they are looking Great m8..you must be well Proud m8...
I can only guess at the smell that is coming out of that room now..

Certainly making the most of every spare inch in the grow room..
Bitch karma sent..

I Think you right about the big bud...
I would class them as pre-pistilate until I saw bud bredth...widening..

she's a little shorty make u go .... schwiiiiiiing!

schwiiiiing.............

As temp rises in the water it begins to disperse the o2 in it.

One tip we haven't mentioned...liquid soap is a wetting agent...
a small DROP of washing-up liquid in the water makes the water stay in the compo longer...
I Think it may also suspend the oxygen...just a Hunch..
But..
it won't hurt the plant..

Woke up gave them a water and set a few freshly cracked Jem's into some dirt
