All are burnt to some degree as well as the natural yellowing of finishing so the look pretty shitty

Yeilds are poor this time around... not sure what the problem was with this grow. I had some high temps and had to install an air con in the room, maybe thats it?

The only other change is the DIY air pots

Hey Budda, wish I'd found your adventure sooner. I hope you don't mind this post, but there were a couple of things that weren't good for the use of OC, mostly your set up.

You can overwater OC products, not the plant but the fertilizer. I found this out the hard way a couple of summers back, burnt all my outdoor autos to the bucket tops, it was due to the rain, which hit them for a few days in a row. Between the air pots, and cutting the coco with perlite, the medium was drying out too fast. But I'm sure you figured that all out by now. OC works real well in soil and hempy's, but not so much in a drain to waste sort of application.

For my outdoor coco hempy's I now use Jacks regular not the hydro line, and it works great.

Thanks for the input Watts.

Yeah autos seem real sensitive but I did get a bumper crop of C99 once with the same set-up (except the air pots)

In fact I cloned my (now seeded) C99 and stuck em in 5 gal coco/perlite/OC+ hempy's!

Man I love the frequency of these autos. Can't wait for mine to start doing their thing (at 10 days they aren't really doing alot but I can see a difference in the last 2 days) and for my Dutch Passion AutoEuforia to get here.... Shit this site is like cocaine to me.. My GF isnt liking the lack of attention she is getting because of my fascination of growing some autos. My photos are nearing their end, after I cut those nuttin but autos...

Budder, they all look really good, especially the C-99 clones (but you know I love to see OC in a bucket). I've never done well with the autos but most of that was my fault. Yours look great, please give us another update prior to harvest.

autos are cool once you find the sweet spot. for me i think their best in a sog style....which seems pretty hard due to the pot size needed....

Not really the right thread for this question, but short answer is Yes, they just take different lengths of time to finish.

The key to autos seems to be 'restraint'. I fed em nothing for a month, then 1/4 strength nutes. Only other thing is a tiny sprinkle of koolbloom powder recently, that's it. And 20/4 hours light

The C99 got huge so I supercropped em. I just built 2 hempy OC+ buckets for some Skunkerella too.
