Gorw #2 Blue Mystic Auto's

[Txchilies]

It took a solid week for most of mine to pop buds and start to flower under 12/12 and since then it has been non-stop bud grow. You just have to be patient with them now if it has only been 4 days, they will flower soon. Funny thing is Auto's aren't suppose to get much of 24 or 26 inches mine are pushing the 32 inch mark and have only been in flower over two weeks.

 

[Txchilies]

I like to give my plants alittle extra CO2 since it get so hot in the tent lately so I just put a bottle of sugar water and yeast in there to give them a boost.

 

[GetNice]

Oh I see. Tell me how much N you were giving them until they started to flower?
Just popped two NL autos from Nirvana. Hoping thet germinate and we will see if they are auto's. Out of ten seeds, I have one plant, two in the germinator and only 2 BM left. the rest were duds. I do not like Nirvana. Thought they would be best company but I thought wrong.

 

[Txchilies]

I'm doing a DWC grow and I use Floragrow which is 2-1-3 NPK, Floramicro which is 5-0-1 NPK, and FloraBloom which is 0-5-4 NPK. I'm at full strength so for 15 gals so they get 45mL of gro, 120 mL of micro and 240 mL of bloom. So I would have to say it's about average, but way less than the phosphorus and potassium.

 

[Txchilies]

The other thing is I never got to give full strength veg nutes, I only gave them like a week at 1/4 strength and a week at 1/2 strength and went to flower nutes after that. I have a bud ignitor but didn't use it with this grow, I did with the Bubblelicious after a week of no show when I put them at 12/12.

Thanks Man. My only concern is that i have a spike in the soil that i cannot find and am afrai i am getting too much N which may be causing this thing not to bloom, but then again im only at day four of twelve twelve. There are a few leaves that have clawed.

Well I read all the reviews about there Auto's and took the chance, I was impressed that all five popped when germ'd. But as a seed company they do have some good strains of non-auto's and cheap too.

Sounds like something else other than to much nitrogen which would be yellow and burnt lower leaves. Check your ph of the water you put in and what comes out, if you think you over fed them I would flush with pH'd water no nutes added and then go with a flower nute at half strength for a week and then go full strength.

Sometimes I don't see flowers until 2-3 weeks after the initial flip to 12/12... Just be patient, She will come though

This is true, they don't always flower right away and then you get lucky and find some that tell you what to do. My Blues had to be forced a bit to flower but my Bubbles are trying my patients, and at their current hieght I may have to bend the hell out of them. This evening while checking them I found a few buds starting to form, these and the Blues were definately not "Autolowers". Now if the Bubbles just bud like my Blues I'm not going to care one bit about them not being Auto's.

that shit works man

 

[Txchilies]

Well the girls are 9+ weeks and lookin pretty healthy Just got this new light not sure how it will do but it has helped since I got it up and running. I definately don't have a temp issue anymore as they have stayed right around 75 to 77 F. I also took a few bud shots of 3 Bag Seed plants that are flowering, the tall scragly thing is a true sativa.

 

[Lady.J]

What all are you using for lighting? The plants look great

 

[Txchilies]

I had 22, 26watt CFL's in the tent, they were a mix of warm white 2700K and cool white 5000K. That many was producing way to much heat for this time of year. So I bought the 135 watt LED and has it made a difference, I'm able to cut my A/C off for a few hours.

 

[Txchilies]

So wednesday my plants will be ten weeks old they have been in flower fortwo and a half weeks. here are some shots of how they are filling out.

 

[Txchilies]

Really liking this new light and I believe the plants do too, I haven't had temps over 77 degrees F yet.

 

[GetNice]

Mine Turned Out male. I have two going right now. 4 days old. looking good so far. Praying for a female this time and for them to auto.

 

[Txchilies]

Sorry to hear it was a male, I would do regular seeds if I had a bigger place where I could seperate them and grow them out for pollen. Maybe try some breeding someday, but for now I'll stick with female seeds and wait for the time and space.

 

[Amaximus]

Hey Tx.... Just stopping in and checking out your grow. Looks like I arrived in time for the good stuff.

[Txchilies]

Thanx Amaimus, I've been checkin out your grow too. I'm still learnin and tryin new things and different techniques, but I'm finding I have better luck with good ole fashioned growin methods. These were supposed to be "Autoflowers" but here they are at 10 1/2 weeks and just finished 3 weeks of flower. I'll have pictures up later as I switched my light period to 5pm to 5 am to help cut down the heat issues during the day.
