Blue Mammoth Auto grow

Hi Peeps,Figured i would post some pics of a blue mammoth auto i sprouted,i am using whats available to me so we'll see how it goes...
Heres what i am using
this will be a simple Dwc
it will be inside a cubpoard roughly 2 and a half foot wide by 6ft tall
1X 400w hps light magnetic ballast with bat wing reflector and light spreader.
a 10 litre bucket w/small netpot,air pump air hose&air stone
leftover bag of perlite
less than a quarter of cultiplex veg nutients
half bottle of cultiplex bloom nutrients <doubt ill use it all or at all

my camera doesnt want to work so i had to use a phone camera(sorry bout the hps light phone pics terrible i know lol)

alright so on 16/2/2016 i put the blue mammoth auto in paper towel.
next day 17/2 /2016 seed cracked and was placed into a peat "jiffy" pot and placed into the 10 litre bucket placed under a 400w hps in the cupboard.

light schedule is mostly 18/6 sometimes 16/8
18/2/2016(day 2 in system)


21/2/2016 (day 3)


22/2/2016 (day 4)


23/2/2016 (day5)


24/2/2016 (day 6)

1/3/2016 (day12)


2/3/2016
no pic yet but i did the unthinkable(lol) and topped it pics to come later added low dosage of nutes about 4/mls

the other plant that's in there is a fem Cleverman clone (non Auto).Oh yeah also messed up the dates lol (thats what i get for doing it really baked lol). today the 3/03/2016 will be 2 weeks and 2 days.

Day 17

the fish pillow thing is there to stop the air pump from rattling around.

Day 20,it seems to have responded pretty well to topping (for an auto)

Lets hope that mammoth doesnt live up to its namesake,in that little cupboard

if it gets past 1.8 metres then I will be in trouble ha ha, kinda hoping it will grow to at least 80cm-1m

Day 23, Powering along.ran outta veg nutes, slowly adding bloom nutes(also the pics were taken on a phone with sunglasses in front of the lens)

well there's a turd in the punchbowl.....(meaning i encountered a problem)
light died not sure if ballast or bulb yet.

hps light started working again(after switching off for 25 mins)
Day25.
Getting taller ,I predict the "pistils" will start appearing day 28-30
Temps are fairly high at around 87-90 should get lower in a couple of days.

That's one big ass signature! Glad lights are working again, without extra expense. Good luck!

It's my first time using cultiplex, but so far it's going pretty good.
i will probably give it some buds a million or Kool bloom in conjunction with the cultiplex bloom.

Day 38,
Its getting bigger
wasn't watching the water level in the res the last couple days, when i noticed the pumps louder than usual...,I checked the water level and it was almost empty bar 2 litres!.
filled her straight up and she's fine now(may have hurt my yields though.. )
Also did slight Lst to some branches might try to make the branches a bit lower.
i can notice a smell as soon as i open the doors (this thing is gonna reek lol)
temps are still kinda high...
will not be using kool bloom(may get it for the last few weeks),will be using buds a million
in a couple of days.

day 40.
tied them down (should've done it earlier in the grow..)
noticed when i rub the stem,it smells like blueberries.
unfortunately my shitty phone cant take clear pics of pre flowers.. lol
the cleverman will most probs get thrown out or put outside(haven't been paying attention to it)
