Oh No...Another Noob With an Auto

Hi mate,

Looking good man, transplant them into big pots or bags. I just finished my first auto grow under a 600 mh/hps and got 4.5 ounces, I had a 4.7 gallon and I think the growing space plays a big role to get the big yields with autos especially. Rockwool medium has been giving me awesome results lately

The bigger the pots the bigger the yield man 4-5 gallons pulls some serious results because I'm no fancy grower. My auto was one of those ones that veg a month before it started flowering but there are also dwarf Ruderalis strains aye?

leds are awesome!.

Hey guys thanks a lot for the feedback!! I love to hear everyones methodology and the positive things being said are making me confident!! Thanks a lot! I try to talk to my plants when I am in there, or at least talk aloud so that they know I am there, I heard a long long time ago that that helped, so I have taken to talking with my plants, lol. I am very pleased with the grow so far and I will be updating this thread as progress is made.

Happy Smoking!

Just remember there a weed and fairly agile plants. I'm a new'ish grower too and am starting to relax a little. It's easy to damage your plants more when trying to fix a small problem. Alot of times less is more. And it will take time and practice to get a good balance going. Keep growing!!

Alright, we are winding down week 1, week 2 starts on Monday, how convenient!

Take a look!

Happy Smoking!

I am trying to be conservative with them, not give them too much water, barely any really. They seem to be happy with it though.

View attachment 2937496 this was the first bean popped from my seed harvest its a (photo) positronics purple haze #1 x kc45 (auto) its just funny the first one cracked was a mutant


your youngins look happy
you have a fan blowing on them?
this helps with stretch as well sometimes better then moving your light IMO

My led Burt my auto at 10" so had to move to 16# this is two weeks old

Sent from my HTC6500LVW using Rollitup mobile app

I think my LED is at around 15 inches. They seem to like it that way, Idk why that one stretched up like that. It popped and stretched wayyyy up... Then didn't stretch at all after that lol, I am going to put a fan in there this week, I was just afraid to put it in too soon and hurt the plant for some reason. I also need to buy an oscillating one. Seems my oscillating fan is broken lol.

that little mutant plant is crazy!

How are the plants coming along?

Alright, here are the ladies at the end of week 2! Week 3 will be starting tomorrow, and I am going to start thinking about nutes. They are in Happy Frog soil, what do ya guys think? The nutes I have are micro grow bloom AN Jungle Juice. I also have Big Bud, but that obviously wouldn't be used, lol.

Looking good so far man. Keep it up!

When are you transplanting into a bigger pot?

Sorry not bring observant. Looks like you cut the bottom of the cups off and already transplanted. What's going on my brutha?

Hahahaha, I read a tip a while ago and this is what I did. Cut the bottom off the solo cup and stuck it in the soil. I plant the seed in thee middle of where the solo cup is and when I watered for the first week I only watered in the cup so that it was a concentrated water over the seed and main roots. I now water the whole 3 gallon pot and the roots should have gone down past the bottom of the solo cup pretty well.

Got it. That makes sense. I go from party cup to 1 gal to 3 gal. I only do this because when the plants are small they are in my veg cab under CFLs. Bigger pots just won't fit until they move to the flower room.

The ladies are doing well with the nutes. I fed them yesterday with 1/4 strength micro and grow, today I peeked in praying to the lord that they weren't burnt, lol. I have a cfl to show the green coloration. The top of the slightly longer one is the color they truly are. Under that led you never get to see the pretty green The pics are also showing a little bit of lst. Very little bit, and we will see how they react to that. A fan has been blowing on them and they appreciate that as well! Also, to HighLow: That is a s***load of transplanting!

Here they are, second day in week 4. As the post above says, they are currently being trained, but not by much. I figured I would lst them but only slightly.

Okay this is the first day of Week 6... End of Week 5. They are doing pretty good, I had to treat a calmag issue but other than that they just grow! Every morning and night I check on em and they just keep going and going, lol.

I have sad news. I was trying to think of ways to up the humidity in the tent, so I thought, "Yea, I am going to try and get this 5 gallon bucket in my tent full of water" What an idiotic move, so I was trying to shimmy it in there (which was when I should have realized that it was a bad idea... having to shimmy it in) So anyways when I took it out and realized it was stupid to try that, I noticed I had broken one of the branches to where the little go was hung over itself. "FUCK" I exclaimed. So I taped it back up and ow it i totally drooping and feels so lifeless... now I know what it is like to hold something dying! So we will see what the poor little thing does. It wasn't a main budding site, it was lower and not as strong so it probably won't affect my outcome too much, but still.

I have good news too though, I can see that on the taller one buds just keep forming and forming on the main cola and elsewhere, it was exciting! I accidentally touched one of the flowers with the side of my thumb and smelled my thumb and holy shit it was dank. I thought I was going to get high off my thumb alone! lol we all know it is probably not possible but I was stoked, still am haha.

Sometimes my sweatshirt brushes on some of the sites. I know exactly what you mean.

Hey guys it has been a little while!

This is the end of week 6. I believe I took these pictures Monday night, but have been too lazy to post em up!

The girl on the left side is really starting to be covered in buds. There are also a few other branches that are really budding up too!

It's funny, about 7 years ago I would have killed to have had this much bud, but to me now it is just like wow, I am growing this beautiful plant!! So anyways, I have never seen this much bud in one place in my life, lol. The right one is actually about 2 inches taller than the budding one and hasn't stopped growing yet, so we will see what happens with that, I hope it stops growing upward soon honestly.

You can also see that the two plants suffered a bit of heat stress. I was so mad I let that happen!
