Thanks again Claptoman,
I do think it was the Britta causing the problems - it was one of those new triple filter systems.
The tap water I've been using has a high PH, but when I add the usual nutrients, the PH is lowered to around 6.8 (got a new PH test kit)
Now I'm not sure if to give her a little extra veg food (which has plenty of N) or mix a little urine in to give her a boost.

I read all 50+ posts on your autoflowering, saying you have another big grow going on your hands. White Widow should be some tasty buds..

I also got a closet grow going on. I`m wanted to go with the same autos as you, but ended up getting Lowlife AutoAK47 hopefully they go 1/2 as well as yours.

Do you mind taking more pics of your grow closet? I`m having some questions as to exactly how I should go about intake/exhaust. My room is around the same size, but I have no vents from within the room. So the doorway will be the only fresh air exchange. I`m hoping there won't to bad a small or heat problem.

I have the same situation as you - closet with no ventilation.
I cut some holes in my closet at the bottom & top. The bottom has 2 x 80mm PC fans drawing air in and the ducting draws hot air out through a vent in the top.
The temps stay just below 80 even with the doors closed.
Will try and take some pics and post them here for you.

if you have a proper N fertilizer, use it.
if you don't, you can use urine.

you need a PH of 6.5 in your medium. If your nutes lower the PH, like biobizz, you should ph to 6.7-6.8 so when water evaporate and fertilizers build up the Ph will be around 6.5.

Check whats up with your brita. If its lower than 5.8 you have a problem that need attending.

 

[durbanmistyman]

check the ph of your runoff next watering

Thanks guys,
Think I've got it all sorted. Been giving her a little extra Bio Veg (For mor N) run-off PH is about 6.6 and the plant seems to be healing & growing nicely. She's also starting to stink the whole flat. Time for a carbon filter I think.

 

[DogFacedDemon]

Glad to hear you've got everything under control, Reiss - & that the lady's working up a nice stink. ;D So, do you not run your carbon filter till it's absolutely necessary, or; do you just need a new one?
I'm looking forward to some new pics, too, man. You are my auto hero.
I can't wait to get my auto-AK ladies out of their chitinous shells.

I haven't got a carbon filter yet, need to make one. Refuse to pay the ridiculous amounts of money they charge for a bit of carbon.
My auto AK grow seems to be quite popular!
Good luck

good man, if your runoff is 6.6 then it was not ph lockout prob just a lack of some N, u should be good now. i have heard others haveing the same prob during flower when using biobizz. its bloom formula needs a little N boost with it. my buddy always mixed in a little chicken shit with his biobizz bloom nutes and never had a prob.

 

[Reiss]

Here she is at 5 weeks flowering.
I think the deficiency has slowed her growth a little, but she seems to be picking up pace again. Lots of trichs and VERY smelly!
Really have to make a custom carbon filter ASAP.
The 'lights on' photos below don't do justice to how white she actually is.

To give you an idea of size, the tall bud in the middle is 24cm from the top of the screen.

 

[durbanmistyman]

man thats lookn nice i wish i could get buds that big at 5 wks with my 600w lumatek

 

[Reiss]

Here she is at just under 6 weeks flowering.

 

[DogFacedDemon]

She's looking nicely fat, broseph. That yellow leaf issue doesn't really seem to have done too much harm. How much longer are you thinking of leaving her go for?
She's looking seriously frosty, too - it really is nearly impossible to make out trichs under HPS light. I wonder why that is...

Nice work + rep, man. Can't wait to see how the rest of the grow goes.

Thanks DFD, I'm guessing she's going to go 8-10 weeks, first time growing this strain. I intend to leave her in darkness for a week on top of that too.
I'm keeping my eye on the trichs, mostly clear so far.

 

[Night Claptoman]

It looks great.

Would you mind telling us more about the week of darkness thing?

 

[Reiss]

I read somewhere that if you keep the plant in darkness at the end of flowering, it produces more trichs knowing that it's coming to it's end.
I figure, if it's not true, I've got nothing to loose by trying anyway.

 

[Night Claptoman]

By giving the plant only darkness it will use all its energy base. However, it will not gain any more energy to spend.
Thats my view on it.

I wish I could try it but i'm running multiple strains that doesn't finish together.

 

[DogFacedDemon]

Sweet!
I'd kinda like to see what she'd look like at 10 weeks, if she goes that long. Man, she'd be OBESE!!!
1 week in the dark???? Fuck! That's the final fronteer, lad. The most I heard dark time till now was 3 days. Let me know how that goes if you do. I'm interested as fuck in the results of that little addage.

Word & peace

 

[chessloveboobs]

I cant believe how great that one plant is. It looks like 3. I respect your patience.

 

[motoracer110]

that's amazing Reis, like a work of art. +Rep to ya.
