9th grow overall, but only my 3rd run at auto's. Gorilla Glue #4 autos from Crop Kings( its actually a blimburg strain according to their book that comes with it). Soil is Greenworld professional mix with perlite and earthworm castings added. The light is a Sun System 315w LEC Boss commercial fixture, with a phillips bulb.
Germinated the seeds according to the Crop King instructions. 4 out 5 cracked the next day the last one the day after. Put directly into the soil in 5g fabric pot. and put the light about 2' above the pots. The one plant came out of the soil yellow from the get go. I figure either a bad seed or it got overwatered somehow.
Just plain water for this week. Tap water( our town water is excellent, very low ppms) left out for 48hrs, then ph'd to 6.3. Just using spray bottle for now.
I use the full Remo line, and use the Remo calculator on their website. Long story short they have a separate auto flower chart on a total different site(fucking stupid). So next water I plan not adding any Grow, then 1/2 next. Or should I just cut all nutes for my next water ?
I also use Remo nutrients, I tend to feed trace amounts in the first two weeks, then slowly amp it up to what the chart recommends. Hope it helps, Cheers :)
Still going ok. Day 8 I added 3 drops of the Remo Micro, Grow, CMG, Velokelp to 1L of water. 1st nutrients. Day 11 same thing but with 5 drops. Day 14 just plain water ph'd to 6.3 to help with excess N.
This is my 9th tent grow and Ive had good success overall but always looking to get better. The autos ended up good but they always had the tips of the leaves curl down after a week or 2 and throughout. Ive always used the official Remo calculator site to mix my nutrients https://www.remonutrients.com/calculator/. But after digging through their FAQ I found someone ask if their nutes are good for autos. It says there are and Ive always use the full line with the calculator. Come to find out there is separate autoflower chart https://2fast4buds.com/news/remo-nutrients-feeding-chart-usage-guide, not mentioned or anything on their site. Long story short after digging around I find the chart and the leaf drop was from to much N. Fucking stupid its not on their site but now I know the reason and I learned something new =) .
Hopefully this helps someone else using Remo.
Watering around every 3 days. 4L 1st water then 3L both with the Micro, Grow, Magnifical, Vekokelp @ 0.5ml/L. Started the LST. Giving them a little bit a day, no major bending yet.
Pulling a little harder now when I'm LST now. They seem to be taking it OK. There starting to shoot up now nicely. Giving them about 7L of water every 2-3 days. Getting some very tiny brown spots on the odd leaf, and some very slight discoloration on some of the fan leaves. Don't think its anything major. Let me know if you think it is. And that little yellow runt bastard just wont die hahah
I noticed my plants went droopy in 1 day. They were a little dry nothing major. After watering they didnt fully spring back. Now Im noticing some small brown spots and discoloration. This morning a found a black beetle on a top. From what I read its a flea beetle. Any help?
Spray him with a mixture of dawn soap and water and see if he dies. If not the spray should kill any eggs that you spray. Won't hurt your plants spraying them. Just do it at lights out. It won't kill potatoes bugs but it does do a number on their eggs. Cheers
I have never had them in my grow before. Have you got them yellow sticky insect traps. If so put a few of them up. You will be able to see how many pests you have and what they are when they stick to the trap. Someone else on here might have had same problem and be able to help out more.
Weird week. All good as normal until around day 31-33. They wilted bad very fast. I found 2 leaves with slight chew marks but couldnt find any other sign off bugs. I found a beetle on one of the tops but Im pretty sure that just came off of me from outside, as there a common beetle around here. I havent seen any since. I Did LST pretty hard before that, so maybe that had something to do with it too I dunno. By day 34-35 they sprang pretty much back to normal. Now they just wilt before light out. But there still growing thats for sure.
Same old same old. These are growing up like crazy. Way bigger then the candy cane auto's a did twice. Starting to warm up a bit outside so tent getting a little warmer and humidity going up a bit. Hope it goes no higher. Showing slight browning around the fan leaf edges but very minor. Hope the buds fill in since the cola's stretched so far this week. Giving them around 12-16L every 3 days roughly.
