First attempt at Auto's

[MonkeyPickAss]

This is not only my first shot at auto's but my first grow period and i wanted to show some pictures of the progress I've made so far. I am growing in FFOF and FFHF mixed with some perlite under a bunch of 300 and 600 watt led's. Strain is Nirvana's White Widow. They are about 23 days old and just started going into flower. One is clearly a better plant but both are very healthy as far as i can tell. I've also got some Northern Light going but they are only about a week old. I am VERY happy with how things are going and even more happy that its been such a smooth ride.

Looks good monkey! Remember to keep it simple, u mite not need to fertilize at all using FFOF, Good luck

i have indeed been keeping it simple. i usually just leave them alone unless i am tying down some branches or watering them. Ive found the best thing is just to let them do what they do.

Ya man. That's my biggest problem, get all crazy and technical and mess up the plants. Keep up the good work

Okay I'm gonna go ahead with that same mix got the stuff yesterday, gonna add a lil perlite and dolomite lime for pH balance. Man I can wait to see those FINISHED! You gonna use any nutes or no?

I have the general organics go box but I've not used it up to this point. Pots felt nice and light this morning so I may give them their first feeding tonight.

I have the go box as well I love it! Go with a little less than half of they recommend, for my first feeding I did exactly half with that stuff on a 41/2 week plant and still burned her

Watch the feeding. I been doing all autos this year for indoor and 75% of them are light feeders. I had one strain this run ( purple express) that i fed once at 3 weeks near flower switch. fuckin thing was N toxed for a while lol. even after flushing salts and build up. good luck. heavy yields bro

They sexed ( pistils ) and i would have not HST ( Heavy Stress trained ) them ....
Like your photo shows .............. you really wrenched her down.

A simple LST would be a SLIGHT OPENING of branches , a light tie-down just enough to bring light in.
The less stress during the preflower transition the better.
ANY undo stress during flower kills the yield. That is the time to just let her bloom.

 

[MonkeyPickAss]

There is VERY little stress on the plants(i mean that in a physical sense). It takes little effort at all to move them into the position they are in.

Mate thats a big tilt for an auto of that age. I think you may have been a bit rough with her....

If it stands up in 48hrs, lucky

 

[MonkeyPickAss]

ive been training it for a good while now, that is the way the plant is growing. i will go down stairs and pull it all off to show you that it will barely move(although i would rather not)
