Thanks bubble hopefully I can just keep it up.

Everything is going smooth still. The NL started to show sex, so she is going to be keeping me really busy trying to keep her under control in this small space.
I realized I haven't posted much about my feed scheduling.
The BB is receiving 10 ml of botanicare ripe, and 4 ml of botanicare silica blast to 1 gal of water. I have a 5 gal bucket that I fill up with tap water once a week and use that for my 1 gal jugs. I mix my solution and it is left to bubble until needed.
I feed at least once a day, but try to feed 2 -3 times a day. The PPM of the solution is 420 in witch 139 is from the tap water. I normally feed between 350ml to a liter per feeding.
The NL I just started feeding 250 ml twice a day and will try to keep that up. Does this system sound ok or does anyone have any suggestions that might be better.
Thanx and Happy Growing

So many hard decisions on what new seeds to get. I've been trying to decide between Mephisto Genetics, and Fast Buds. Especially with all the amazing grows growing on. I think I have decided to give Mephisto 24 carrat a try. I also have been craving to try the gorilla glue, so I will also get that to put in rotation. Hopefully I can get them situated by the time the BB to finish.

Nl @ 22 days.
She is really picking up her growth rate just like I rememberd. Trying to keep spread out as much as possible but she is such a bush, she does not make it easy. She seems to have a couplerust spots on a leaf, possibly cal mag so will add some to next feed tomorrow.

Update: week 6 is coming to a close and the start of week 7.
The Auto bb now stands 15 inches tall and is starting to smell really nice. She is starting to get frosty as each day passes.
The Nl light I thought already showed me her sex but I was mistaken. She is just starting to show her sex. She is such a bushy mess. I have been tying down branches and also pony tailing her. She is going to be a real challenge at keeping her on the small side.

I'm hoping I can have some nice meds in time for thanksgiving. I could not come to a decision of what beans to get, so I had my wife pick them out. She picked the fast buds Girl Scout cookies, and mephisto 24 c.I seem to always have her pick them, no complaints so far. She picks by if she likes their name lol. Has anyone ordered from bin a seeds? I'm having a hard time finding a seed bank that has both Fast Buds and Mephisto Genetics.
Happy growing

I went direct to mephisto for my seeds. Not the cheapest, but you'll get interesting crosses as freebies!

I've seen a few sites with both breeders, I'll have a think.

I second this. I ordered 6 beans and got 15!!! Mephisto is ahead of the pack, in the auto world.

Here is my last blueberry seed @yeatster, this grow is going 10 times better than the last.

Great job man. My apolagies, for not coming on much recently. I have been super busy. And, I spend most forum time @ Autoflower.net

No worries,I've been hanging out over there 2. I set up my grow over there as well. Really can't wait for this one to finish so I can get a proper taste and yield.

Auto BB @43 days
Figured out how to get pics to show up correct.
She is starting get frosty, even the stems are starting to get frost on them. How does she seem to be progressing?
I have a goal that I'm trying to get at least 1 to 2 zips per plant in my small dresser. I kept her some what small, the tallest part is at 15 inches. I'm thinking that I might possibly be able to hit 2 from her comparing to last grow. Do you guys have any input. I now know that I can let them get a little taller before tying the down.
Happy growing.

NL @29 days.
She is being fed 2-3 times a day at half a Liter per feeding.
6 ml grow per gallon
3.5 ml silica per gallon
I have been slowly increasing her feed after each gallon. She seem so be responding fairly decent with daily growth. I have tied down most branching and will let them grow vertically for a while and then tie more. When would be a good time to defoliate her ? Think that's all for now.

Auto BB day 45

 

[yeatster]

That BB will give you an easy 2 oz, I think. Also, the sugar leaves on BB are awesome for edibles.
I like how you've kept them down. Even canopy=greater surface/light penetration=more dense buds=winner winner...
I would not defoliate NL...yet. Let her have a stress free stretch.

1.5 Liters a day is way to much, imo

That would be awesome to get over 2 from the BB. I will leave the NL alone on defoliating until she is done stretching.
Thanks for the advice.

Thanks yeaster, should I cut it down the feeding to half a liter or a liter per day?

Optimal watering cannot be achieved by "x"amount every "x" number of days.
When it's dry, you water it. If it's wet, you wait.
I would let her dry out. Then soak the pot, slowly.
When I water, I start with, at most, 1 Liter. Letting the medium absorb. Then again, in 5-10 min. Watering in stages allows optimal absorption, so you don't get dry pockets.

By the looks of your BB, I would probably give her 2 Liters. She will probably be good for 2 days.

When growing in coco I thought you wanted multiple feedings to get results similar to hydro.
My last grow I watered to runoff and waited til dry and water that way.
