Hi all Im new to the world of Internet forums etc. and fairly new to growing. I've loved my weed for long time but haven't tried y hand at growing very much. Any way here's what I gotgoing on. Indoor DWC 400W MH/HPS and my outdoor stuff.

I'm doing my first outdoor grow with auto flowers. I have 1 Jack Herrer that's about a week old and just transplanted it into a 10 Gal Smart pot. Also have 2 Ganja Dwarf autos (referred to as GD)from AMS seeds. That just germinated today and 1 more Herrer which will now be referred to as JH that germed today as well. Those 3 are now in some leftover rapid rooters. No pics yet cuz there ain't too much to see I'll take 1 of my JH seedling in morning she had her first heavy rain this evening and I'm interested to see how she did. Trying to save money I'm putting 2 plants in each 10 gal smart pot as far away from each other as possible. My other outdoor grows in past I use 5 gal smart pots for each plant so figured I'd just throw 2 in each and see what happens. I'm using a mixtur of fox farms ocean forest some pro mix my neighbor gave me added perlite,worm castings,bat guano, and lime.

Also doing my first DWC grow. Four 5 gal buckets, with a 70 watt air pump 2 air stones per bucket 400w MH/HPS in 3x3x6 grow tent. Unfortunately I'm about 3.5 weeks in and don't have any pics from throughout their grow but will from here on. They are JH Autos as well. I'm using Advances Nutes Perfect ph 3 part grow micro and bloom. Things got off to a rocky start had some brown slime on my roots but after a thorough scrubbing wih bleach to basically evryhing except the plants haha it seems to have gone away. Was also adjusting my ph after adding nutes because I didn't realize I wasn't supposed to be doing that had konidea about this ph perfect stuff because I'm a noob and didn't research my shit well emough. So that fucked stuff up tillmindianlly got things under control. So 1 of the plants is a bit behind the other 3

lastly I Have 2 Big Bud and 2 White Widow. Outdoor 5gal smart pots similar soil mix except no promis and these have cow manure added in, and they are doing great so far about 30"tall all have been topped. Well I'll definately have pics added tomorrow so stay tuned.

Recieved my order of jacks nutrients today and plan tonuse it on both of my soul grows. I'm wondering how much tonuse the feeding chart has a list of different plans and trees etc. most are around 1 tablespoon per gallon of water does that sound about right? Obviously my autos are too small for nutes but my regular plants I have been feeding with Duma grow I just ran out and switched to jacks. Any input would be appreciated. Also plan to add some dolomite lime to the soil in pots. Just because the plants are already in the pots for a while doesn't mean it's too late to add. Right?

Hey sorry about that meant to get back a lot sooner than I did. Bad internet problems I'm using my phone right now. I'll post that link back here to use quick as I can it will tell you exactly what you need to do.

Nice looking girls dude. You're going to have no problems getting some good yield out of those.

image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg Couple more pics of girls I topped each one early on then few weeks back decided to try Fiming for the first time but I don't think I did it correctly. And this is what I have ended up with so far. I'm interested to see the shape they will be by harvest. I'm thinking I'm gonna need to do a bit of staking cuz I have some branches growing almost horizontal lower down on the plants.

OK here it the breakdown. You have different brand but in same "Forms", that is the Vegetative nutes and the "Bloom" nutes....so don't confuse yourself too much. At the top of page five is where this link goes and it's the top post you need to see. Since you don't have the micronutrient supplement then exclude that measurement. Page nine of the thread has a chart showing the normal feeding schedule for PHOTO plants but if your charts are similar, you know its a safe bet that his measurements for AUTOs will be a good guide. IF your still worried start by cutting his measurements back by 25 percent or so and slowly increase to optimize...OH...forgot you need to read the two or three posts after I thank him for keeping it simple. There is a change in late bloom you need to see but thats as complicated as it gets

Thanks. Do you know what a cc is my nutes came with a little tablespoon scooper so not sure how to measure the powder or granules into a cc. I think I'm gonna just try and add like a tsp per gallon and see what happens. Me and nutrients never seem to get along. I'm 4 weeks into my DWC and just figuring out the nutes I've been using all along. I'm slightly restarted when it comes to shit like this. Previous grows I put seeds in dirt watered and waited till I could chop em down and smoke em so this year I'm way outta my league I feel

Questions I started flowering tonight and I have 2 plants close in height 1 a few inches shorter and 1 considerably shorter than all 3 cuz it's a week behind the others. So I wanna know 1 what distance should I keep my 400w HPS above my canopy? And 2 will the small plant be negatively affected because the light is a good distance away? Rt now the light is about 8 inches from top of tallest plant and probably 1 1/2 ft above shortest plant if not a little more. Iam almost wondering if I should just get rid of smallest plant to have more space for the other 3 but I hate to lose a girl.

And BTW lost a GD seedling today due to a thunderstorm got windy I went out to bring them inside and the wind had flipped over my seed tray and fuxking decapitated her. No saving that one unfortunately. But other 3 are ok and I think 2 of them are ready to get put in soil

image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg Been flowering my DWC for almost 2 weeks now and they are doing good overflowing outta my grow tent haha next time I guess I'll only do 3 plants. I figured since they are autos space wouldn't be an issue but u was wrong. The tent is 6ft tall but I guess the plants sitting basically on top of the buckets I lose a foot or more from the start but no complaints I'm glad they are thriving lots of branches close together. I thinned out a a few bottom branches against the publis advice but it was turning into a rats nest and they see me to be fine so we will see hoping it doesn't negatively affect my harvest. My regular outdoor plants are doing good as well ill post pics of them soon. For now here's a few of the DWC added 4 small CFL's since canopy is soo dense figured it will help the lower branches

Put something underneath the shorter one to even out your canopy, a piece of wood or something similar should work.
