1st Grow have i got it Right for Auto's??

Hi there growers,

Have been thinking bout growing for a while now and have finally got my arse in gear and have most of what i think i need in the post.... just gunna run my set up by you auto experts and could you please post your input any criticism or tips welcome. Thanks, jim.

Ok here goes ha, my plans are to start the normal way germing, damp towl ect using nirvana's bubblegum auto's, then once theyve tapped they will be going into a soil mix under a 600w MH setup, for the complete veg stage, 2/3rd (veg)week start to introduce some sensi-cal nutes inceasing dosage slightly until the end of veg 4th wk??, am thinking they will want to flower around 5th wk??
so then going to change my setup to a 600w hps to induce flowering and then start on the big bud bloom i got until wk 4/5 of flowering????.

how does it sound chaps?? i have done alot of research on the auto growing and am determine to get it right, so could do with some help along the way...........thats what this site is for right???? haha.

sounds about right... 5th week is going to be a late flower, i would expect preflowering week 2 or 3. And you seem a bit overzealous with the nutes... but other than that you seem onpoint

i use my MH till i see preflowers forming(decent one, multiple pistils) Then i switch to my HPS and start weening in UVB

ok great change of plan there then so just get her under the MH from seed till she start's to flower nicely then get the HPS out?? oh right ok well could you help on the nute front then please???
when should i start the sensi-cal?? am abit nervous about giving them nute burn thats all, also ive read that a good week rest in-between nute's then start the BIG BUD??

thanks for this mate, what hight would be best with the 600w MH??

jim

The best thing to do is test, start light 1/8 or 1/4 strength, make sure you space out feedings with clean water, you don't want to build up to much cal or mag or you will lock out other nutes. Just start slow, you wont even need to feed your plants but maybe twice in their whole life. One feeding of veging nutes at week 2 or 3 ( maybe 3rd or 4th node growth ) and some bloom nutes at week 4 or 5, 1 or 2 weeks of water, and chop.

Over loving is the biggest killer of plants

yeah ... check my thread for what going from half strength nutes to full strength nutes does to an auto ..... although they look scabby now they are doing me proud ( https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/477481-trouties-green-omatic-stealth-grow-54.html )

Brilliant thanks man you have been of great help ......i had some bag seed and thought dam it gunna try germ them and to my surprise one of them has started to produce a tap root!!! so gunna use her as my trial grow and see how things go, could get myself some WHITE SHARK happy days.
