So Ive heard today that this is what terribly sick plants look like. GDP and Blackberry auto, unknown breeder.

[VincenzioVonHook]

Just had a blast in another thread. Blackberry gum and GDP autos going on week five tomorrow. Pretty run of the mill plants for 34 days.

Been told they are basically on death's door and terribly discoloured like 50 times in a row lol, despite saying that I'm not phased by any discolouration and that they look relatively normal to me, also like 50 times in a row.

Bathe in the sickly mess of the most decrepit plants to ever grace Roi. Good to see humour is still alive.





I'm more than happy to let them grow out as they are. If anyone has grown Blackberry Gum autoflowers, or Grandaddy Purple Autos feel free to post the outcome, or a comparison around week 4/5.

Overall loving growing indoors. So much better not having to worry about every storm and hot day. Also like not having to wait on seasons. It's 4c outside ATM, so I'd be screwed otherwise.

Its tuff on Fathers day to get a lil attention/recognition for your work huh? These guys don't know what's up. Personally, I dig the wispy twisted leaves and light green/yellowish color. You look like you got shit dialed in to me. Don't back down one inch to these fools my bruvski. One mans sickly looking plants is also another mans healthy looking plants. If you ask me its less to trim. Those tiny blade like leaves will be so easy to break off when you harvest. Almost like glass which is gonna make your job easier. I don't care what anyone says, you for sure, don't have any probs with PH.

Haha. I'm in a backwards part of the world where father's Day is in a strange location in time known as September. I was wondering why everyone Kept bringing up father's Day here lol. On another note, it's not like pH is easily verified every day or anything lol...it's a pretty simple thing to monitor...

 

[sirtalis]

Lol they look fine. A little twisted on the new growth but I'm sure they'll grow out of it.

 

[Zephyrs]

They look ok to me, maybe she could use a small snort of cal/mag. Other than that they look healthy.

 

[Hollatchaboy]

They look alright. A lil light so up the nutrition a lil bit. Looks like a lil light or heat stress going on up top also.

Tiny bit of heat stress. The overall temp is fine in there, the quantum boards just put out a bit of heat underneath. There's 340w of 301b about 17" away, and I can't raise them any more unless I just strap them straight to the frame, in which I could get another for or five inches, with zero airflow to cool them that close to the top. .the carbon filter would be lower than the lights.

 

[VincenzioVonHook]

The nutes I'm upping gradually. Week One was 400ppm, week two 600ppm, week three 900ppm, and I'm at 1100 now so I'm hesitant to increase too much as 1100 seems pretty exxy for a 36 day plant. It goes in 1100, comes out around 600-700 when it runs off every day, so they are definately feeding for sure.

I'm used to growing outdoors where rain and the hose did the job, so I'm blown away by what I mix. These are chewing through 8L a day between them, and the next afternoon they are dry on top. First experience with Coco.

Are you using the bridles? I ditched those and just use rope ratchets. Those bridles eat up too much space.

What scale do you use for your readings?

Check your run off it looks like you got some PH issues What's the PH and PPM on your run off??

Might need to flush to get back on track.

Also I like your scrog netting. What is that? Plastic fence?

 

[Hollatchaboy]

"What is that? Plastic fence?"..... lol I just noticed that.

Feed goes in at 6.4 and 1100ppm. Comes out 6.5 and around 700ppm. Medium is 6.6. Feed daily.

Netting is whatever was the cheapest at Bunnings lol.

Not sure tbh. Use a Hanna/groline TDS/pH pen and a $20 TDs pen from the aquarium shop...I'm pretty lax with them. They read the same so I've never really looked into it.

I know there's differing standards for EC, but haven't really looked into it. .im never really chasing a perfect environment, so a quick test of what's going in and out is enough for me until leaves start falling off lol.

Straaaaayaaaaa. Nice I see. So is it just construction fence?

if you are just doing coco then you should be watering at a lower PH more like 5.8-6.2.

I'm too lazy to pH down the water haha...if I mix it up, it's always between 6.2-6.4 so I just leave it. I'm pretty happy with how they are so I'm just riding it out while the input and output stays stable.

I'm still getting used to Indoor and Coco feeding. Coming from outdoor with relatively decent soil I'm used to chucking seeds in the garden and getting 7ft plants with a hose and rain. I'm new to training, feeding, the whole lot of indoor.

I figured If they are filling a screen in a few days and the pH is stable, Im just riding it out.


The net is a roll of trellis netting....didn't check the brand sadly...all of them were too small so I got 50x50 and cut it out to 100x100. It was one of those spare of the moment things. Wasn't planning on scrogging but plants were getting too tall. Bunnings was 5 mins away. This way I can use it outdoors as well for the garden.

 

[VincenzioVonHook]

Still getting used to autos, and growing indoors. They grow so fast. This is 38 days old as well, and is 4ft tall in its pot (20cm tall). Regret not scrogging this now, but it was already 3ft tall and flowering when I got the net. It's in a 160cm tent and it's already 13" from the lights, which are tied to the frame. Stretch is real. All three of these plants popped on the 16th of may, this one just flowered early.

 

[VincenzioVonHook]

Nope, they went as well. Saved about 5". They are clipped directly by wire to the frame. There about 4" from the board to the roof, so it gets mega hot up there lol.
