I am growing 2 White Widow autos and 2 Super Skunk Fems.
The 2 Autos are in 1st week of flower now. This is my first time growing. I am doing all organic soil grow this time.
I'm going to try out hydro after harvest. I have a RDWC setup pre made and put away for 4 bucket grow w/ 20 gal res.
But the first time I am going to grow just 1 Purple Kush Fem in a bubbler bucket w/ top drip.
So far it has been a blast and I think I gave them a little too much N. A couple leaf tips talon on me but the rest is ok.
They just got darker green the skunks are heavy indica so bluish green i read is normal healthy color for the leaves. Before they were lighter green.
I gave the skunks a 2 cup feed of 1-1-1 Pot of Gold from Dr Earth. I am using the Dr Earth Organic Cannibis feeding schedule.
The Autos I gave them 1 cup of the liquid each. Thats when the leaves got dark green and I got worried.
Im using FFOF 1/3 layer on bottom and FFHF the top 2/3 layer. I put a layer of Worm castings in between and top dressed more during the transplant.
I also put Dr Earth Tom and Herb Ferts and scratched it in. at transplant at end of week 3 from germ.

Here are the latest pics from week 5. I just added the tomato cages last night since I was able to move the Mars Hydro light up enough staying at 2 ft and they were able to finally fit under the light in the fabric pots.
The one girl she got big fan leaves on her.

:lol:Yes actually first time ever. Although I read a lot of stuff in forums first and on seed store websites for info.
But I am very happy with the setup I got going. I tried to automate it as much as possible as far as temp and humidity.
Read lots of reviews on equipment on Amazon and such. I spent 2 months researching before starting.
 
Here it was last week

At the start of flowering I’d use Orca 8ml per gal, fox farm Open sesame, Carboload, bone meal and Terinator if you want it to come out like the photo :peace::weed::leaf:

Oh … hell no.

Less is more … you might as well drink from those cartoon jugs and cut out the BS. None … NONE of that shit are needed in his grow , much less anyone else’s. Especially with autos - LESS IS MORE with them , even single bagged soils with minor top dressing and light amendments ( to recharge the base medium ) is ALL THATS NEEDED. No complicated feeds or wonky ass bottle feeds.

I’ve grown more autos than I care to say …. Ruined a few “ thinking “ like you. They are about as plug and play as you get.
His plants look uniformly green and happy - wouldn’t add shit.
