Yeh 580 ppm is roughy 1.2 , how they doing , post a pic mate
Sounds like you are up and away now then I remember doing mine and looking all around the web and getting loads of different ways to do it, in the end I picked what looked the most functional way, I was real happy when my first 6 seeds cracked and then popped through the surface not long after I put into the 5gallon pot
You don't do autoflowers do you? So how long will it take you from start to finish?
Also what do you make of this, when I went to germinate the seeds, I popped them in a couple of glasses, put in dark warm place for 23hours, then poured onto some kitchen towel, drained the excess off, next I put into a food bag that had a zip on it, closed the zip up to close to the end, then blew air into it and quickly closed the zip the rest of the way, put it back in warm dark place and 24hours later they were all ready to go
I had seen peoples experiences where they had some seeds not crack so I had that anticipation too, great when it all works out isn't it
Thanks, I know there's a lot of technical terms i will come to know as I get more into this
They are doing really good i think, they just keep growing and fattening up as well, they just keep surprising me each day now and I'm starting to wonder if I need some scrog or some sort of support ready for them
Heres a few pictures I just took of them a few moments ago,
The big tall 1 in top left i actually snapped the main stem off doing lst, but it was the best growing plant and has just kept growing like crazy, the top right also snapped but I decided to keep running with it and do any thing I was uncertain with on that first, sort of save the others basically was the idea but that too is developing some good bud sites but no way near as good as the top left 1,
Don't lst I guess untill the stretch has stopped I kinda took from that

Na mate start lst while everything if still flexible , depending on pot size I start once the plant has reached 5-6 nodes , other ppl might be different . Each to there own a soppose 
ya plants looking well . Keep an eye on ya tips but by the looks of it ya could knock ya feed up 650 - 700 ppm on ya next feed after plain water feed .

Keep an eye on ya tips but by the looks of it ya could knock ya feed up 650 - 700 ppm on ya next feed after plain water feed .My lights are at 80%, im just on with installing an air intake as I need more control over the temp and humidity, so I bought 5inch fan, which will replace the 4inch fan im using now, and il use the 4inch fan to bring the air into the tent, then il move the lights up again to just under the new fan and turn up the light to 100 %over a few days, these led lights are pretty powerful, im using spiderfarmer sf2000, it is more than enough to do the job it seems,
So heres a question, do you think defoliating is good idea? I getting mixed messaged when I research it on autoflowers, most say dont, but a few do and they get bigger yields

Like ya say , horses for courses , if I was doing autos , yes I would defol but not as much as I defol photos .
What size is ya tent
What size is ya tent
2x4.5 so its little tight for room lol,
I was thinking of just aiming to do any that are covering bud sites deeper in the plant it self, especially that lower left one, its so compact but got ton of foliage
What way do you suggest?

I would maybe tuck them out the way so maybe not too much stress on ya plants , but on the flip side yes I would defol also but ppl will always say don't with auto's ,
It's ur choice at end of day mate

You asked the right question. Im doing a blueberry auto right now. Did one earlier this summer as well.
The time table given by the seedbank was 9-11 weeks.
My earlier one ran 14 weeks before any amber showed. 15 weeks it got chopped. Might have still been a tad early tbh.
Wow 14weeks, thats a long autoflower, I think I got same timescale around 10 weeks.
How are you getting on this time around?

Not too bad. Its kinda a crappy effort tbh lol. I might get 2 ozs out of it. But that's fine. Im more looking for cross breed seeds now.
Sounds like your not too impressed this time around, is that 2 ozs from just 1 plant?
What you thinking of doing next? I was looking at girl scout cookies, and a plain fruity one next time,
I'm also considering doing normal plants and not auto, I bought a few seeds and still got 4 blueberry as well I could do,
Kinda spoilt for choice but will see how this one pans out,
