A couple Nirvana Blue Mystic Autoflowers under CFL's, closet grow.

I germed these guys exactly 2 weeks ago now and figured I'd write one of these up since they are doing so well.

Started with 4 Blue Mystic fem auto's, pulled one a couple days ago since it was a runt but the rest are doing great. I just started germing another seed to replace the one I yanked so I don't have an empty pot taking up space in there.

Havent had any big problems at all yet really. I got kinda scared at first because I found a bunch of super tiny bugs crawling around in the soil, but they don't seem to care to much for the plants, they aren't climbing up them or anything, just walking around in the dirt so I guess they aren't too bad. I have had a couple mushrooms sprout up in the dark period too but again, dont seem to be bothering the plants and I just yank them every day. Average temps have been abut 80-85 in there and the plants seem to be plenty happy with that.

They are growing 18/6 under a mix of CFL's, some hanging, some on lamps tilted toward the plant on the floor. I have 10 6500K 26w ones and 2 2700k 29w ones and 2 32w t8 tubes a couple feet above the plants. They seem to be getting plenty of light and i'm surprised how fast they are taking off for only being 2 weeks old. Two of them are doing from what I've seen in other grows maybe average or a bit better but one is doing amazing, I moved the lights over from the yanked plant to see if I can get it to do even better with the extra light.

Just fed them their first nutes the other day, 30-10-10's at 1/4 strength and i've been watering them every 4-5 days with PH adjusted tap water left to stand for a few days to evaporate the chlorine out. I think i'm gonna fert them every other watering and might try and increase the dosage a hair.

Well if anyone has any comments suggestions don't be afraid to post up. I just have one question if anyone has any input, I yield is super hard to tell but i'm honestly just looking for a ballpark figure to expect from these plants once its all said and done. Anyone have any idea, I'm shooting for 5-6 oz's, is that about realistic? If these turn out well I want to try growing some regular, non auto plants next.

These have come a long way in a short time. Plants are 4 weeks old now, so 2 weeks since the last pics. They have easily quadrupled + in size and have started flowering I believe. I'm surprised how little trouble they have given me, only problem so far was the one runt that I pulled and planted another. The new one is doing ok and one of the plants got a very minor nute burn from when I switched over to the flowering 10-30-20 nutes I just started with last week but I flushed it a little and now you cant even tell.

I've rearranged them from being setup up in a 1x4 pattern to a 2x2 for more efficient use of light and just about doubled the amount of bulbs. They are now sitting under 12 42w Cfls and 2 32w t8 tubes I put a couple in lamps on the floor to even the light out across the whole plant. Just swapped them out from all 6500k's to a 50/50 mix between that and 2700k.

They all are starting to have the little white hairs pop out all over the place so I think thay are flowering, not even just the branch nodes now but they are starting to have big bunches of them popping out on the newer growths. So far they are 100% female. I'll let the pics speak for themselves.

The 3 older ones. Didn't bother taking a pic of the newer one, it still is a small seedling, not quite 2 weeks old.

Hello.
This is my first post at the forum.
I haven't started growing yet, but i'm searching for autoflower journals and I've digget out many grow logs for a week. As far as I saw, autos have a yield rate between 15 grams to 25 grams (newbies/mid-experienced growers). Of course, there are some ultimate growers having much more yield from autos. But they use the best grow equipment. For example, take a look at think different grow of seymour-buds. He has a 356 gram yield score at one single plant, yet he used LED lights and hydrophonics...

Yours look done well so far, I hope you'll get a satistactory harvest bro. Let us hear your good news ;) :peace:

Hey man, I'm growing blue mystic auto as well and I'm 4 weeks in too. Your girls look great! I have one growing under 345 cfl watts 2700k. I'm curious as to why yours are so tall, mine is short but extremely bushy and has 13+ flowering sites. I'll be tagging a long so keep us updated!
