625w DE CMH - Auto selection

Thought I’d document this as it’s nice to refer to later in life.

Equipment: 4x4ft tent, 625w Dual CMH, 3k Argo bulbs, mountain air filter/fan, AC infinity fan (just arrived today) 4x 5 gallon pots and 2 5L (1.3gallon)

Nutients/media: Plant Magic Soil Supreme and plant magic organic old timer range loosely following their grow guide. Oath Soil Balance, the most microbial dense plant probiotic available! Highly recommend it! Best smelling buds


Strains: Fastbuds Green crack, Strawberry Pie, Cherry Cola, Mexican airlines, Wedding Cheesecake. Rocbud Vanilla Scoops x 2. 1 Dutch passion Daiquiri lime. Basil, coriander and Dill.


Method: All seeds were planted 9th Feb except the cup. Had trouble with one green crack and strawberry pie. Planted another two. The vanilla scoops took long to germinate so planted another. Glad I did because the second seed is growing much faster than the first.

Pics are 9th, 15th, 19th and today 22nd of February. Transplanted the old slow vanilla scoops. Just ripped it out in a handful of soil and was all perky after it in her new home lol

Will explain as I go along what im doing

Last photo is wedding cheesecake at 9 days old. Already 8.5 inches wide xD Never seen a seedling take off so fast so fingers crossed she’ll produce well!

Hopefully 10-11 weeks from now we have some tasty fat buds

Cheers!

How do you plan on watering?

Just use 3L measuring jugs. Yet to put runoff trays underneath as they only get a cup of liquid every 3 days or so atm

Are you going to scrog that dill?

All is looking well but that Wedding Cheesecaker sure is a runner.I'm looking forward to seeing how she comes along.

Not Scrog but deffo going to top them lol

Sure is! Fastest seedling I’ve seen haven grow a fair number!

Will be topping the cheesecake and the sativa dominant autos. The indica or shorter ones take best to a little LST

Day 13 for the big 3. Others are around 7-10 days can’t mind exactly.

Wedding cheesecake is still zooming

Topped the cheesecake yesterday. Will be getting their first feed tomorrow. Starting at 1/4 strength and working my way up.

Strawberry pie is just starting to pick up the pace now

Will top the green crack and maybe another two to manage height and create a nice canopy

Day 21 for the oldest 3. Day 16 for most of the others. Responded well to topping. Now the fun starts as they enter stretch!

Forgot how quick these plants grow! Day 28 for the oldest 3. Day 25 for the others.

Day 35 for the oldest. MA is budding fast!

Had to take the cup out, bottom left last picture.

Trained the strawberry pie into that space. all plants are starting to flower now.

Mexican airlines is very frosty for only day 42. Should be done in 70-80 days. Smells incredible! Never had a plant smell so much mangoes, it’s like a giant smoothie growing in my tent!

So I have my folks around for a week and needed to somehow water the back 3 without taking them out the tent. Problem solved.

I’ll take a full tent pic when they leave Friday. Got a quick bud shot of the Mexican tho

Day 53 for the oldest. Suffering a little from calcium deficiency but have just added some
Calcium chloride to bump the cal levels up. Some plants are more effected than others.

Just turned week 8 yesterday. Smells incredible in there!

MA is a rocket ship. Only 57 days from sprout and is ripening up nicely!

Had a few wobbles with watering. The guttering didn’t seem to soak all the pot properly so had some moisture stress (yellow, brown spots) but all good apart from that

Wee side note. Soil is pH 4.1!! So acidic but the plants are doing well considering. It’s pH 4.8 out the bag as well. So next run im either gonna lime
Plant magic soil or go with bio bizz light mix.

Well you sure filled that 4x4 nicely. Great looking plants!!

Wholly smokees!

Pretty sure I can smell that tent from here!

I don’t doubt it xD I went into the bathroom which is below the attic space and there’s a distinct hum of MJ lol

The Mexican airlines is the culprit! Never thought you could have a mango smell so strong it’s borderline offensive lol

Start of week 9 today for oldest. Ripening nicely in here and smelling better day by day. MA has a wonderful mango sorbet smell and is trying to escape the tent!

Still getting Cal def but what do you expect from a soil which is pH 4.2 lol I’m just surprised they are this healthy in soil that’s so acidic

Nice grow matey here are a couple of pics of my fastbuds auto .2 strawberry pie about 5 foot tall halfway through flower and a gorilla cookies with long fat buds. Love the fast buds strains
