Update.
Cream Mandarin auto died. Fuck nos what happened but it just stopped growing. The Magnum which I thought was a goner has actually turned out to be alright now though lol
Just got them on a water feed of 6.5PH. Nutrients in soil seems to be plenty for it thus far. Been feeding her around 1l every 3 days. I guess increase as it drys out quicker as there is more root? All a learning curve for me this. Dont expect anywhere near the quality of my indoor but I want to learn how to get these little pre harvest autos the best they can be over the next couple of years!
I am going to get 3 more autos potted by end of the month so expect them to be added to the journal too. Just doing some research on strains and growing techniques.
Over to the indoor. Moved into a proper sealed cab, just waiting for a mate to pop over to help me hang up the filter, extractor and they will go under the 400HPS in Veg.. Also need to put Mylar up so excuse the incomplete setup (Always seem to be busy lol). I have to build a second cab at the end of the month so the cabs can be split. Theres a strong chance they favorite will go under CMH too
Confidencial Kush racing ahead in size:
Blackjack a lot more compact and more nodes which is what I like to see:
Bother plants are sitting on 1.25ec as the sweet spot. Blend of Advanced Hydoponics of Holland Grow, Bloom, General Hydroponics Hardwater and Liquid Silicon for root strength and immunity on mould (Plus a range of other benefits, shit is liquid gold!).
Should get interesting now in the next 2 or 3 weeks after a shady start again lol!

everything is going good here & I struck a deal for a 315 cmh I'll get it in about 3 weeks he is finishing his grow my sour diesel & the 2 plant doubledream have been in the room less than a month I think vegging them under the t-5 & getting them topped & everything made things progress a lot faster as soon as my clones root I'll show you how it works I'm only feeding the sour'd only floranova bloom & cal mag as opposed to the other grow being on the gh 3-part nutes & schedule it's so much easier only mixing 2 ingredients to feed here is what I've got as of last night each grow has its own journal called simple diy sour diesel & Johnson cx-6 pcg doubledream &2 waterfarms I can't get the URL numbers to display so I could link them in my signature

Wicked mate, I will check your new thread out the original one was hard to keep track of lol
Awesome your getting CMH too. I may not have mine till end of June but seeing how time/money etc goes I might have to make a compramise and flip these two together, sooner and focus on a reserva privada grow immediately which gives me time and to make a second cab properly with ventilation, lighting etc. Its really hot here already (30c) so I dont want to rush things and rot, not do as well as I could etc I think my fan is 550m3 and it does push that out. Iv got decent intake coverage and fresh air entering from two places usually with a negative airflow - niiiiice

I had to flip mine a bit early as I'm wanting to re-do my grows that were put up in haste

Update on the Indoor: Starting to drink a fair bit now, as such growth!!
Been flushing the last 2 days on both girls the started creeping up on the EC meter. There now on seperate feeds as the Kush is clearly racing ahead and is showing on the meters now too.
CK: 1.2 EC, 5.5 PH stable
BJ: 0.95 EC, 5.5PH stable
Im expecting to see water drop, EC stable/drop and PH stable or rising tomorrow on both girls meaning they will get vigorous on growth. Had a peek at the roots and yeeeeeah!! BJ has much more root interestingly, maybe dwarfing it before it stretches her leg.
Taken the advice on sticking with the CFL for most part of Veg. With a bit of luck these will both go straight under Phillips CMH as I think I can spair the cash in a couple of weeks. Im hoping to get reverse osmosis installed as well, but its not cheap also. So umming and arring what to get first. I should get the Osmosis but I really want to get these under the CMH too!
There on hardwater micro for the moment but I would like to have good water as I feel it is essential with hydro. Definitely going to do these girls together in one cab. I just dont have the time or resources to setup a second cab for another couple of months without bodging it and probably messing up both grows lol. Rome wasnt built in a day... That said a new strain will kick off in a few weeks and it wil be a surprise (its a banger).
Mylar and scrog screen up in the next week or so and then think about getting into flower by second week of June really latest, I dont want to be dealing with this in the peak of august also why il flip them sooner together in one cab, so thats helpful.
With the Auto:
Doing great tbh! Not bothering with Grow nutrients this time round, it seems to be for the more experienced auto growers and rather than play with fire and get burnt. I will leave them. I will get a pic when its daylight tomorrow. It is on BioBizz soil in a 25l pot so I figure that is plenty for a Ruda plant anyhow..I will be going with BioBizz Bloom for sure and starting at 1/4 strength probably in 1 or 2 weeks time. Water is up to 2l and lasting around 3 days as the 1l was before, so guess all good there. If anyone by chance is reading this and knows of some good outdoor auto journals of people on their game please link me, Its fascinating for me.
I went a bit nuts on seeds which wasnt a sharp move near the end of the month lol but i have (auto)
- Moby Dick XXL - Dinafem
- West Coast OG - Fastbuds
- Auto Girl Scout Cookies - Fastbuds
- Big Devil XL - Sweet Seeds
Plan is to add one of each and repeat in July for a second lot. If I can start boshing a good 30/40g off each auto that will really do me wonders on stuf to smoke daily

Those are looking really nice hard decision to make on buying a light or r/o water system the hard water micro seems to be working out good my sour'd is really taking off & I picked up a gg#4 baby a few days ago

nice man, will check that out tomorrow! Yer hard decision indeed. I want to get the light but the reality of it is I will prob get the osmosis and light end of next month. The osmosis will be the biggest factor and also help out with ph stability on the autos.... I think I am going to have to be patient for 5 more weeks! Still undecided obviously lol

Loverly. Very sativa and branchy like Sky! Looks like there trying to stretch a lot there too. That will be a beast.
Just checked on mine so thought Id grab a few pics again:
Confidencial Kush is flying now, may notice Iv bent the top over to train while the Blackjack hopefully catched up.. Oh I found out what seed bank it is... Its from The Kush Brothers Seeds, taken a 1.3ec down to 0.95 and Ph from 5,5 to 6.0
Blackjack is being a bit difficult lol. I put her on a weaker feed of 1ec, she dropped to 0.95 and PH up to 5.7, just now she was on 1.2 and PH back to 5,4, just topped her up with some tap water to even it out a lil bit before the lights go off. See what state of play is tomorrow. Although Im loving the shape on her, she could explode soon:
Been spraying them like motherfuckers if wondered why they look a bit wet lol
First time Iv grown Spanish strains and growing 2 haha.. I hope the Blackjack catched up or an emergency cab will be going up and Blackjack can stay in veg and the Kush into flower lol

True to your tradition your stuff looks top-notch you make it look easy I'm still rolling with stuff I learned from your skywalker grow which my sour'd shares a lot of the same characteristics with

Cheers mate! Yer I said I would be back with vengeance and I cant get done legallly now so I will be on the forums a lot more soon, nearly fully transitioned back. Still not unpacked fully but getting there! Thigs will get really interesting over the next few months as I got some decent work so can invest in the setups properly to every detail how I dream lol. Iv thought long and hard and Im going for the osmosis immediately as end of the day its the biggest benefit, HPS works, CMH is better true.. but I might have some overtime enabling me to get the light as well, lets see how productive next week is and late I want to work! Also working now and the weekend lol After that I will have some free time again woooop

Well here is my little auto I am proud of lol. Iv Never grown outdoor before in over 10 years of growing.. She wants nutes but I am sticking to my guns on waiting for a week in flower to then start putting in Bio Bizz Bloom. I think thee next one of Autos I may experiment with as Il have a couple of seeds spair if something goes wrong:
As say if I can get 20 or even 30g of good quality bud off these Il be very happy. Hense putting 4 more out next week lol Every auto I have had has been immense on flavour. Just they dont yield much
Blackjack looking really good today for some reason. Also great on the meters are a half l top up of tap water. Confidencial Kush just going crazy bent the top pretty hardcore today. Il update on the indoor again in a few days when there is some decent progress.
peace

Ok update:
The auto is hungry, Im fucking broke until Monday so she will get on the juice then. Just started to flower so all in all good timing. Pretty happy how she is going for my first ever outdoor. Keen to start the rest next week now the weather is 32c and sunny:
Indoor:
Piece of cake. Drinking half the res in 2/3 days and PH is staying solid or rising and EC going down. Going to flush them tonight and them stack them up on the nutrients to around a 1.3EC.
C.KUSH:
BLACKJACK:
I am sat on the fence what to do still with setup and equipment whcih is why its still the same looooool. I dont know whather to start scrogging next week together or take one out to keep in veg while I sort my shit out and get one straight into flower.. Hum
At least my mates are super exceited theyl be hardcore indoor again soon lol The stuff around here even from weed clubs is so so to me... But its a pretty shitty club in a small town so wouldnt judge that to the cities (which i never go too)

glad to see things programming yeah I'm between harvests & on the broke side right now myself as home repairs have been costly but I'm dug in & gonna have 2 harvests in mid to late July my clones have rooted & im gonna string my seedlings until harvest in my mini dwc which I've used successfully but not on this scale & im gonna put what I've learned about dwc/waterfarms in the last year to use remember my first couple of waterfarm grows were pretty rough I had to un-learn a few things but noe I'm narrowing it down to strain choice as to what works good for this method

I am interested to hear what you think works well for water farms as I have the water farms big brother the power grow.... I wanted a bigger res and more space for the root system... I would be happy to give a few of your choice strains a run... I need a few good ones for my good hydro strain list... some don't do so well I have come to learn..... I always use a bigger air pump and put an air stone in the res keep the solution oxygenated and aggitated.....
