First attempt at growing in Coco under 1600w's....

Great lookin crop Inks! I just hope mine will look as good as yours. I am starting a coco grow in 3.93 gallon Autopots with auto ak47 and auto blue himalaya...just 2 of each in my new cab. I've got a 400 Ushio OptiRed in a cool tube and lumatek ballast. I hope the coco and Autopots make it little easier for a 1st serious attempt. After that I will go to some Mandala strains.
I will be watching from here on out to see what I can learn.
Props to you for a good looking set up.
 
cheers bro....funny you should mention auto pots, i'm looking into using them for my next grow! hand watering can be a pain in the arse with these tents i've found. you should check out Jat's grow, she is using them and her plants look great, real trees which i love!

Yeah, I have been following Jats' thread for some time. It is one of the reasons I went with Autopots. Here in the US we don't have access to all of their products though. For instance, the Airdome is not available here that I can find. In this case however, I made my own with coiled bubblepipe and a net pot turned upside down. In another week or so, when the roots are well established, I will turn them on.
 
cool u gonna do a journal? ill upload more pics later....theie comin on nicely, the super cropping seemed to do the trick to! 8-)

Yeah, I probably will. I have been working on one for building my grow cab which I will post first. I have to figure out how to post it though. :confused: I've never posted any pics.

Did a little supper cropping last week and must say, will defo be doing it again...all the side branches have caught up with the main stem and in some cases have over taken it and have become as thick as it to!! I also think my attempt at fimming has worked this time as all my plants have 4/5 main tips rather than 1, theres a pic of what I mean below. The pic of the single plant is called Giga bud which was a free seed that smells real fruity, I like the formation of these plants better than my last grow, maybe its got something to do with the MH? not sure. Anyway heres a couple of pics in the final week of veg ya'll....

loving it inked mate
 
supercropping is a great tech for yeild increase, and im ordering my autopots very soon too.

garden looks great man you pulling the trigger yet ???
 
Cheers westy!! ez don, nah havent pulled it yet mate, i'm sticking to my guns and waiting for the smallest to get to 22"s...bout 4" to go lol them autopots look the bollox dont they mate, I really want the 24 set for my next run, it was that or the airpots, but the autos win for ease! Talking of Autos, what do you's think of the Auto strains? I'm thinking of ordering 20 easyryder and starting them a couple of weeks before this grow is up so that there ready for mid july before i go on holiday, I recon under the right conditions I'll do pretty will out of them from what I've seen and read?? worth a bash for 8 week turnover anyways....any thought mate??
 
alreet inky! i grew a couple of autos a way back but to be honest the 8 weeks is bollox youll be lookin at 10 start to finish which when you compare to 9 week strains with say 4 weeks veg. the 3 weeks you save is not worth the extra buds you could have grown with a normal strain.

thats just my take on it though man
