first grow ever using autos 600w/10 northern lights

doubletake · May 17, 2013

Oooo and ur problem could be over watering let them dry out a little bit and see if they mabey perk up I remember my last autos they were droopy a lot for the first month from too much water then I cut back and they started looking better.

If not that then mabey root bound I had one get droopy I transplanted and I guess the new soil extra space and new water helped it, went off.

Hey doubletake, I dont think it's over watering but maybe under doin it, I was watering around 200ml every 3-5 day's but yesterday I checked them and they looked unhealthy n I was really disappointed to be honest, but after some pretty good advice from jeffdogg and watered them with around 500-600ml each and PH balanced they now look great just 24 hours later! All plants have sprung up and grown/growing a whole set of leaves over night! Rapid growth and looking healthy again thank god, even the poorly plant is looking good after I used a splint ti keep her up.

26 seedlings is a hell of a grow!! Nice to know someone is growing the same strain, keep me updated on how it goes! GL

UPDATE DAY 14:

i dont think they are doin to badly considering the heat is stupidly hot in there, leaves are curlin from the heat but nothin i can do yet til i get this inline fan through....

dude watching your grow I feel like Herbies gave me bunk seeds lmao.... look at my budha auto mix after a week

soil is 5o percent mg pro mix three month 50 percent perlite with a little gardeners pride in it. Tell me why the hell mine are so dam small...lmao first time with auto with a 600 same size space.

beaves they look good ill be watching

Easy beaves how they getting on? I think we started our grow around the same time..

I got 6 NL autos and & 7 bubbleicious there about 3 weeks into grow 600w hps, already half of them have preflowers and i started tying a few of the bigger ones down.

Post some more pics if you can

beaves IOW · Jun 12, 2013

hey reelist hows it goin fella! well mine are now nearly at week 6 and considering im a total noob im very surprised some of my babies are now reaching 28/30 inches in height!! all have started the flowering phase around a week ago or so n watching very closely....had some major problems 2 weeks ago where i thought they were dying quickly...turns out they needed a boost of nutes! anyways take a look, these pics are from yesterday. oh and ive got a carbon filter in there now....125mm fan intake only a small one but everthins goin sweeeet!

doubletake · Jun 12, 2013

Looking really good over there man mine are loving those so cal sun glad u found out they just needed some nutes.
and 28/30 inches sounds good
mine are about 16/24 inches and I just hit week 4 and this is like my third try with autos and seems to
be my best so your doing good. Well good luck and your getting pretty close just like 6 more weeks!

beaves IOW · Jun 13, 2013

Thanks doubletake need a bit of reassurance every now n then lol I was hoping to have them harvested and dry for around end of July since I'm goin on holiday! Thought I was guna run into a lot of problems but I'm very happy with the way they are goin at the mo...gettin pretty excited!

BluntM8 · Jun 13, 2013

how is SCROG a better option in an overcrowded grow room? don't u guys mean SOG? ..sometimes the shit I read on here is just baffling.. 10 plants under a 600w HPS and people telling him to SCROG.. lol, ill blast a g-rip to that

beaves IOW · Jun 13, 2013

It is over crowded to say the least...wasnt expecting them to get so tall and now they ate bushing out more...only only put 6 in next time and LST early on.

If I start using this LST method now will I see improvement on the lower branches or is this too late??

REELIST · Jun 13, 2013

Yeh there lookin hench bruv! Why do you need to start LST from the look of those pics theyve got excellent side branching?? My side branching was minimal apart from 2 or 3 plants so I tied em all down at around 2 weeks. Vertical growth pretty much stopped as they expanded.

If mine look like that at week 6 (only in week 4 an there about 10 inches of the ground lol) ill be very happy!

Can anyone with experience guestimate how much the plants in beaves pics would yield dry individually?

doubletake · Jun 13, 2013

I think your a little late on lsting I'd just focus on getting all the tops you have nice and fatt since there getting to the end of there stretch.
did you see a lot of growth these last two weeks also?
and yeah you should be doney the end of July mabey harvest half and half when you get back to see what you like better.
and yeah autos are pretty stress free the biggest problem if ever had with them was I went out back and had shit loads
of little grasshoppers but I went to lowes and got this insect killer called seven and it wiped out there whole population haha
not one out there today I was really surprised at how good it worked ha.

REELIST · Jun 13, 2013

when did they start to show flower beaves? as in days/weeks?

beaves IOW · Jun 13, 2013

Thanks reelist! I was thinking they were tbh just average....but now I'm thinking shit this cud turn out very sweet indeed!! Again with my limited knowledge of lst I thought most ppl do that with all autos lol all of mine do have considerable side branching so now I no when to use it!

As for when they began to flower I would say give or take around week 3? Maybe a couple days after... I'm now pretty much in week 5 now but thats not including the 4 day's they were in darkness :/

beaves IOW · Jun 13, 2013

Hey doubletake! Hows things goin over your way? I wud say they had some rapid growth in the last 2 week's goin into flowering, slowing down now in the last couple days but still are definitely gaining height still!

Bloody grass hoppers!! I'm in the U.K so putting them outdoors is a big no no lol temps at best in the day are 16-18 degrees C.

beaves IOW · Jun 13, 2013

I know I'm still a long way off but if things go steady as they are does anyone have the roughest of ideas what I could yield???

doubletake · Jun 13, 2013

Things are definently going great over here and damn that fuckin sucks how cold it is there doing good since its summer over here 70s during the day sorry idk what that is in celcius and like high 50s at night perfect for weed ha.

And yeah I got them all handled so should be good for now one.
and I am hoping for 2 ounces a plant I got like 1 a plant on my last batch they were like half the size as ours though.
so you could hope for like at least 1 and up to 3 zips a plant.

beaves IOW · Jun 14, 2013

Sounds good! It's summer here to but probably only hittin 30 F roughly..bad summer! Ive set my mind for 1 per plant and hoping for 2! Buds are growing real fast atm...very exciting time!

doubletake · Jun 14, 2013

YEah 1 per is a good 10 ounces should last a good little while smoking ha, are you going to do another auto crop after? Those 10 zips could almost last you till the next harvest if you smoke a ounce a week hah.
i plan on trying to do 40 autos next cant wait to get started ha.

beaves IOW · Jun 14, 2013

I smoked the herb for 11 years n just stopped about 9 months ago to sort my shit out so this is mainly for home improvements etc...next time il probably do a couple less coz it's really cramped in there at the mo especially with the filter in there
