Hi all, its been a while since I did a journal. Had a few shit runs lately through experimenting, so I'm back to scrogging.

Anyway, here's 6 clones, mixture of sensi seeds super skunk and female seeds wwxbb. I know alot of people trash the wwxbb, but I really like the high from it.

Anyway these clone's are roughly 6 weeks old, I'm going to let them fill the screen some more. They were only just transfered into the scrog net and final pots being 18L (5 GAL correct me I I'm wrong. I'm going to be using metric).

No real nutes expect some boosters used during veg, but I did just give them a dose of some veg nutes I had before reporting for flower.

I run a 6 inch fan, connected to a cooltube and then out the tent/room. Light on temps normally around 25c and lights off at the moment in summer is around 20-22c. Light sits about 18inch off the scrog net. I have a fan oscerlating air around at the back.

As for soil, I potted it in some good nz potting mix and when re potting for flower I have actually used a good quality flower potting mix to see how that works. Its meant to have higher pk in it.

Also a shot of some clones I have taken. I think I'm going to pick the best 4 and go back to running 4 in the tent, but the finishing pots will be like 35L

Any questions. Let me know and any adviced welcomed. :)

Hi all, update time, so I had an issue I believe was gnats, I added some gnat nix to cover the top of the soil. Hit them with vectobac and installed a automatic spray. I can see them coming back already, but will leave them a few days to recover, as I'm getting close to being ready to flip 12/12.

Cheers bro, I was just laying low for a while, experimenting hah. Turns out scroging for my area seems to work out best. Plus I have found when I defoliate I have have much better yields then when I haven't. I know its controversial conversation with some lol, but for me it works.

Loving the grow! So uniform!...my first auto grow is treating me like a wild jungle that I have no idea how to get through.

Cheers man. I'm enjoying this run so far. I normally train them for ten days from 12/12 and then just let them go :)

Had I known that I could scrog my autos I would of done it and planted less ....having 7 in a 4x4 in 5 gallons for my first grow is a lot to mess with. I guess that's why my Skunks are being abused so much with nutes and LSTing that I'm pushing them hard. I'm learning a ton from reading and people on these forums.

Sweet, loads of good guys on here to learn from. Havnt done many autos myself. Just a couple freebies that I chucked outside.

If I were you I would start running photoperiod, much better bang for your buck :).

Yeah the whole light thing and time made me fearful ...not sure why. I ended up using it anyhow! 18/6 light schedule right at beginning of flower and now 20/4 to help with size of buds. I wanted my grow to be care free but not knowing autos are harder to deal with as they are much more temperamental to problems that happen. I figured ...Oh what they make bud without me tryin?! SIGN ME UP!

Seeing so many people mainline, topping, fimming and all the cutting into the photoperiods gets me excited ...then I look at my autos and say "Don't worry you're all safe from daddy!" :bigjoint:...at least for another month till harvest lol

Only thing you can do with Autos is LST and Scrogging ... guess it is working out for me though. Learning a
valuable lesson on space and how much can grow in it. 4x4 with 3 different strains of 7 autos for my first grow is INTENSE!:wall:

Keep at it! It gets easier, I now days only get to spend about 15 mins a day in grow room. Too many other commitments.
