hi

ok this is my first dwc .......i used a auto flowering strain one that was a smaller yeild so i could test this

i did not know what feed plan to fallow so i used Rdwc plan (figured in the bucket for a week plant takes what it wants so drain to waste was like a watering daily plan) .............i am past the ponit it should have kicked into flowering and i see buds coming by like 2 weeks

i been fallowing the plan it is on early bloom .........but it keeps growing it is now in a 4x4 tent and complete takes it up.........it does have a smell but it is not making anything show up (sexed it female the hairs are on the branchings and stalks )

has anyone had on of these happen to them
strain is barney's fram blue mammoth ...........into 42 days
dwc 4 gallon 6 inch net
light is 600w hps

i have to fill between gallon to half gallon daily .........ph has not fluxed many times.......... 2 times it was in 3.9 and 4.2 /1 time 6.8..........rest of it is just add in water it is 5.8 / 5.9


so ideas...... any tales that u have....... woes i need to watch for in flowering ...........even if only part of the sites bud and come out right that will most i will have ever made in a plant ............. if someone knows about autos and can give me a idea whats going on why the timing is off i really like the info to learn

for flowering do i need to decrease the feed since i messed up and used the rdwc feed plan.............should i move it along that plan or go to drain to waste one

i know the plant is not taken it all up but since the line i have is a mix with different NPK rates there is always alot of N in the mix and it seems to just keep growing ......alot of N becuase of the rdwc plan

2 has anyone done a mess up like this on a auto and had the plant go 2 weeks longer in growth then normally does in soil

For one, don't follow a 'feed plan' measure you ppm/ec when you mix up the nutes, then take measurements every day or two and monitor the change. The general rule of thumb is if the ppm is rising you are feeding too hot, if getting lower feed a little more. If you don't have a ppm pen, run about half or even a little less of the recommended recirculating dose.

For two, stop growing lowryders would be my only real suggestion.

Use punctuation marks please. Thanks!
dyslexic .............as for spelling i do not care since the rules are always in flux in 80 more years from now american will have new rules new ways of spelling .........if it was one set lang for all times then i would take the time to learn it and use it correctly but untill that day ........i do not care

if i axed u a quesation is acceptable to today's teacher and use in the world then really what is the point words mean what ever u want them too not a set value

and on a side note USA does not have a offical Lang .............some southern states/cities have actually made the offical lang spanish

so what should i learn american /english/spanish ..........yes we speak american here not english (english has other words that mean different things i should know my grandmother was 100% off the boat english )

and for a exp in highschool i spent 7 months with out saying a word just whistled and it worked perfectly
short 4 for english to american
fag is a smoke or ciggie
boot is a trunk of a car
pissed means drunk not angery
bloody is their verison of FUCK

those are a simple 4 simple words that have a whole new meaning in english then compared to american

yes

what in that statement of facts is untrue ............do we talk like the ppl in the 1900's ...........lang is always changing from outside influnces

there is only one stable lang and that is traditional chinese with 26000 charaters that can mean a whole idea or just a singal word (and that is less complex then english/ american)...........go check the facts .........other wise u are just someone that wants to call other ppl names and make fun of them

i am 100% correct minus the fact i said states when it was Counties

thanks i do have a ppm but i am not sure how it is configured the 100 or the 500

so move it back to have the rdwc plan .................................note on the lowryders ...i picked autos since they like both lights(and short flip times) so i could use one tent the tent this is in is the one i use for drying/curing

I had this problem with the same strain last year, it started to flower and reverted to veg , I later flipped lights for the photos to flower and it then flowered, spotty genetics on the blue mammoths for sure

ok thanks so i should flip the lights to a 12/12 to make sure i get flowering and not more growth and then reduce the N and increase the PK

i moved to a 7.5 ml micro 7.5 ml grow 10 ml bloom ...........with just a touch of those extras

i thought they had to have stable good genetics before they were allowed to release it on the market ( something like 99 plants auto flower 1 plant out of 100 did not )

I don't think you are supposed to run 12/12 with lowryders... prob just leave them at 18/6. There is a whole section of the forums for Autoflowers.

at this point it can not be called a auto flower any more coming on the 50th day and not one bud (sites and smells little hairs on the stalks ) ..............it has grow so big i have the light at the very top of the tent and it is still to close

i need it to flip to flowering or i am going to have to just rip it out and burn it count this a fail ..........the amount of room engery and feed it is taken up is not justifed i need this tent in about 3 weeks for drying and curing i can move to the good tent if it is worth it but as it stands

this hydro is going bust.............and i have to think it is the strain or the RDWC feed plan i tried

I see... 12/12 is probably a good call then. I would get some photo period beans started somewhere in the mean time. It looks like the setup has treated you very well, maybe needs a little more O[SUB]2[/SUB] in the res because of the fat droopy water logged leaves. The fact that it won't flower comes down to genetics... I bet switching to 12/12 will do the trick.

i think it might going into flowering but i am not 100% sure with it being a hydro

broke down and ordered a 3rd tent to make that a drying one
