It's now been 31 days and so far I have hardly provided her with any nutes. A bit of fish mix and root juice along the way,no more than a third of recommended and the plant looks fine and healthy. I've just started on day 31 with half the recommended of bio bloom. I use 2x52 watt Led lights (TGL STAR 60/ 3590) instead of just 1x52w as i usually use. That's twice as much light as i normally use, so i'm looking forward to see how that works out:)

The Creamatic is looking fine and healthy. I haven't done any work on her, just letting her grow. 82 cm. I began with nutes after about 3-4 weeks and made sure to only give her half of what i normally use on photo plants. It seems to work in my soil of re-used All-mix, peat moss, perlite and leca. I'm struggling a bit with the heat atm. It's very hot outside in Europe these days and getting temp under 28C. and keeping the RH above 55 is a bit hard, but it's ok.

I've been struggling with a lot of heat(27c-29c) and low RH(50-60) for most of the grow and I'm pretty sure it has reduced growth somewhat, and has also caused a bit of taco leaves and yellowing. But it still looks pretty healthy and going and now that we're in middle to late flowering hopefully the low RH benefits. I also think this strain might handle heat better than others. Just a thought. I've raised the distance of the lamps a bit compared to last week. - First impression of growing autos: You have to get use to less control. It feels like you're more a passenger rather than the driver.

This is going to be my first auto strain so it's a little bit exciting. Soil: 15L: 50% re-cycled All-Mix, 25% peat moss and rest is Leca and Perlite. Water: Tap water, ph 6.5. I make sure the soil is well-soaked before i plant, so I dont need to water for the first 10-12 days. Nutes: Going with the usual from Biobizz. Root, Grow, Bloom, Topmax. But i'm going to try some Fish Mix this time in combination with Grow, although I hear it smells terible so it might not work in my indoor grow if it's too strong a smell. Light: I'm using 2 x 52 actual Watt LED, CREE3590 so that's should be nice, compared to the 1x52 watt I usually use per plant. I only plan on doing some bending in the beginning but otherwise leave the plant to itself.

I like your observation about autos. You don't seem to have nearly as much control over autos. If you do exert control (LST) the plants don't respond as well. Our plants are roughly the same age, but you let yours grow and I LST the crap out of mine. The difference is obvious. Come harvest time, you should expect a lot more bud because you just observed.

@Blazeit420, You think the size pot makes that much difference in an auto? I agree though, it can't just be LST. The only way to find out for sure is to grow the strain again and let it do its thing. I started with 3 beans. I planted 1 outdoors, so I can grow the last one more natural. Do't get me wrong, I really think my Creamatic is turning out great, but I just wonder if I'm interfering a little too much.

@Quexos, but I also use a 15L pot compared to yours 3L. You could probably have more than double the amount in the same space so maybe it evens out ;)

Nice growth! I can see similarities in growth structures on the main stalk. She seems to like to grow secondary stalks. She is a sturdy plant. I have been following my normal schedule for feeding, and she seems to like it. Based on your photos, I probably don't even need to feed her.

@Blazeit420, Same here. I've only done a photo. I didn't start nutes until about the 3rd node. I'd guess that was about 2-3 weeks. I've been feeding once a week, using the feeding schedule provided by Nectar of the Gods. I haven't noticed anything negative. I've had to adjust the schedule due to the fast nature of autos. I read that this strain doesn't like to be over-watered, or over-fed, so I've been real careful.

@Quexos,It's my first auto so i'm not too sure about feeding schedule etc, but it has worked fine so far with no nutes the first 3 weeks or so. And after that I just pay attention to yellow'ing leaves and signs of phosphor deficiency while feeding half the recommended.

Hello ! Hello bro ! tell me which tent you have. and show the lamp , pls
Blazeit420
Blazeit420commented7 years ago
@ChillumMafia, Tent is a Secret Jardin 90x90x185 cm. The lamps I have are "TGL60/3590". Google that and you'll find some fine pictures. But these lamps can be assembled pretty easy and cheap on your own.

Good luck! I'm growing the same strain. I'm a little more than a week ahead of you it appears. I'm going to LST the main stalk to open up secondary nodes, but otherwise I'm going to let her go.

Blazeit420commented7 years ago
@Quexos, Nice, since it's my first try at autos i'm just gonna let it go from the start ;)
