auto flower grow for winter

[Creature1969]

Looking good. I'm keeping an eye on this thread. Running my first grow in ~25 yrs and went with auto's. Started mine on the 12th so they're just a little behind you. This'll be good for me having something to follow along and compare what's going on with my plants.

I like that you "break the rules" with autos. I've read so much conflicting information on these in the past 2 months it's not even funny. Threads like this help weed out the junk.

Good stuff!

show some pics
and thanks

No, no. Thank you. Seriously. It's folks like you posting these threads that help and inform so many.

Cell pic from this past weekend. 2 on the right have another set of leaves and the side branches are popping now. Gotta dig my camera out of storage (recent move) so I can get better pics and update my thread.
3 in fabric pots are Nirvana Bubblelicous auto fem, 1 in 2 liter is a Canuck auto fem AK <-Popped that seed out of boredom to mistreat a bit and experiment. Not in the pic is a Dinafem Critical+ 2.0 that just sprouted in a 60ml container for the "Mini party cup challenge". lol. I don't stand a chance but should be interesting trying to keep it alive.

Just wish I knew I was going to start growing BEFORE the move, woulda got another bedroom. lol

I like some quick growing lowryder easy ryder.. even with reduced yields. I really like your set up through. Very nice... almost... suspiciously nice..

Noob question: I always heard that you shouldn't give nutes to seedlings, because it might damage roots or kill them before they are established. But it sounds like you are giving them a fairly potent cocktail early on. Was I worrying needlessly? Do you lose a few seedlings doing this?

Thanks, FF

I gave my plants in a dwc system groth nutes and root mass from day 1.
Before roots reached through the rockwall I was spraying everyday the same mixture.

today they got 20 mil of root-grow--bloom and 10 mil of bloom buster here they are at 39 days ,.what does suspiciously nice mean?

 

[LittleT]

DO you feel there has been any negative affect to putting multiple plants in one bin?

I grew auto pounder,this is a very sterdy strain. At 1 stage during flower I gave up to 1600ppm and she was fine.
Also her avarage growth height is 60-100cm my girl reached 51in high.
She wasn't very wide as in only have a small grow space.
I have grown in soil before, dwc is the way to go its cheaper and the results are amazing.
Very easy to rectify problems with plants.

Check mine out at day 27.

Yes, I had problems. The plants fight for light so you will get 1 smaller than the other and also minimum growth where the plant are touching.
See my pic on my last message. Day 27 and you can see size difference and very bushy where plants are touching each other,this blocks a lot of light and I had to rely on reflection.

I prefer to grow autos in multi groups-----do good for me!!!!

 

[LittleT]

todays update--taking longer than strain calls for but they look pretty good

 

[LittleT]

a dwc system may be ok or even good however I'm a 65 yr old farmer and love playing the dirt---or should I say promix----also I prefer to grow outside---!!!!

 

[LittleT]

todays update in to day 80 or so---going a lot longer than I thought however they are budding pretty good now---maybe 4 or 5 weeks left I think!!!

 

[LittleT]

they are getting closer almost 100 days so far

 

[LittleT]

moved outside for a 2 week flush the 72 hrs in the dark before cut
