DISCLAIMER : None of the below is advice or an invitation to grow or consume marijuana ! Hello to all! I'm here basically to get some advice as I go along with my first grow. So basically, I chose to grow autos for my first time because of the yields, size, and speed. That's because I'm not trying to get commercial, reforest my town, or enter into a multi-year commitment. Just trying to get some personal medicine at a decent speed. I've never grown before, so I settled on: 1. a small grow room 2. 2x40L fabric bags to experiment with and keep the roots cool in the summer 3. Off the shelf topsoil, which seems rich, dark, yet only includes bio fertiliser of which (approx.) 25% Perlite because my soil doesn't have any and might be too rich 4. Rhizotonic solution to activate the seeds (I don't know how old they are!) 5. Some Bio Vega, as little as possible, mostly just to normalise the Ph as I don't trust the water where I am 6. 24h lights and an aircon in case it gets too hot this summer 7. FastBuds strains that should have similar size and harvest periods This Week One will all be about the set up, germinating, and launch - stay tuned, shoot me your Qs, and most definitely give me advice and suggest corrective actions if you've got any! Update : the more I get closer to my set up the more i realize I need this or that including : large trays to collect water from the runoffs, a selection of fertilisers, a shit ton of dirt, extra fans, an AC because it's gonna get hot, extra exhaust ducts, clips, string, those little balls to keep the soil cool, and some other stuff like magnifyiers and several other tools. Basically this is costing a small fortune for a hobby and I'm just glad I can afford it - but to the newbies out there: plan ahead and plan better than i did! Lesson learned : Buy local ! I got my stuff online - huge mistake : no advice, no quality check, so many pieces missing. Buy local - your local horticulture folks will be able to orient you, and tbh you re not saving any cash or time if you consider the time and money you'll lose fixing the thing. Buy local! Update : soaked the seeds in Rhizotonic solution, in under 2 hours a few of seeds started showing signs of being ready to start germinating, which surprised me. I ws gonna soak them for 8 hours, but I got nervous and layed them into my jiffies which I also soaked in the Rhizotonic solution. Their in their tent now, in the dark, getting ready to sprout.

Hi all! It's my first time germinating , and I'm going to use jiffies . I ll be transposing these to 7 gallon fabric pots. I want these ladies to really root in and get comfy so my question is : can I hydrate the jiffies with a CANNA Rhizotonic solution to sort of promote growth?

Can't get my temp below93F!I've put one 150 extractor on the filter, one behind the light, another one above my tent, and a 125 at the end out the window (+100 blowing in). I've got a dongle to reduce the input to the lights (600W) but i dont want to... how can i lower my temp?

I would worry about temps until once they hit 100ยฐ in the 90s is pushing it but they should be fine i would cut your light off at the hottest part of the day i would go 18 6 shutting off at 10am are 12 noon keep close tabs on watering you will have to feed her a lil more in the heat figure out the times shes the hottest and make that the off time this should keep the temps down enought to help her get sum b- vitiams in her u got this are BUY A AC๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘โœŒ๏ธโœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿป๐Ÿป

I ovawatad, and possibly ova nuted my plants which led to all sorts of deficiencies (cal/mag/iron). The 24/7 light cycle didn't help. I've reduced the cycle to 18/6 and waited enough to start watering again which my plants appreciated.thinking of using cal sulfur sup: thoughts?

Hi there ! Your issues combo is : over watering + deficiency + heat + real EC Unknow (broken EC meter) + light off during 3 days. For all that reasons I would not recommend you to do anything now but wait for the soil to be dry and then water with clear water 2 or 3 times without water runoff. I don't think you will need cal sulfur but I could be wrong about that ! Hope it will help you ๐Ÿ˜

How often do you turn your pots indoors, i noticed a few weeks back that turning them kinda helps but i dont know when or how often to do it, i swan someone do a quarter turn daily, but I ve been kind of doing it at random tbh, what do you do?

Hello @Bulbi ! You don't have to turning the plants. No matter if you turning them around your plant will receive the same amount of photons emitting from the lamp ! Nothing will change that. The sun didn't evolved and started moving for the favor of the plants but plants evolved in order to take advantage the movement of the sun and maximize the photosynthetic rate by using various mechanisms called tropism. One of theme is called positive phototropism ( its the phenomenon that leaves turning towards the sun). The only thing that you can achieve by this is a more uniform growth but the total weight of yield will be the same. Happy growing ! ๐Ÿ‘Š

Hey bulbi i know this Q is a few days old but i just wanted to chime in. 1st get job with the grow the buds look great. 2nd i know you've had auto running in this diary and they can handle different light times compared with photoperiods, but in my opinion if youre so close to harvest i feel like leaving your light as is is best so you dont stress the plant so close to harvest (not raising light hours that is.) However if you were attempting to try forcing a plant to mature I think lowering light hours can work...it definitely can with photos, I'm sure some would say autos are on a clock and these tricks don't work...but id have to disagree as autos are still a "hybrid/modified plant" and can still benefit from lots of traditional tricks and methods. If you could have manipulated your humidity...like here i can do that, cause a low humidity that helps my trichromes...otherwise ive heard keeping your temps at a moderate level will help as well. I havent personally done gg but from what I've seen most autos seem to have that sweet spot of 10-15 weeks. But i have heard the "xxl" strands can take longer than a usual auto. I hope this gave you any useful info and happy trimming and curing to you. โœŒ๏ธ

The soaked ones were occasionally splashed with dilluted solution the non soaked ones were not....... the experiment was ended by poke-out and by grower decision : All rhiz plants poked out in 2 to 5 days all non rhiz plants poked out .in 3-8 days ... and the winner by grower decision is RHIZ "OG JUICE" SOLUTION ! thanks for reading, and thank you both for your replies to the Grow Q !

Update : two days after starting the germination, one lady has gingerly said hello. Need to wait a couple of days for my soil bags to come, so plated her in a tiny cup of soil, added a tiny bit of dilluted rhiz solution around her in her tiny pot. Pot is placed by the window so it can get some light. No further watering or handling is expected until potting.

Very nice yield on an auto, by waiting to flush instead of doing 50% clear 50% milky and waiting for almost all to be milky did you find ur plant packed on a bunch of extra weight? Still kind of on the fence as to when to flush as I dont want to hurt my yield and dont want to flush too late and have some harsh bud
CRiSPrGrow
CRiSPrGrow
@Northnut, you need 40x minimum to see them, 60x is comfortable. the difference will be some will have some THC in them and some will not, so it depends on taste at the end of the day ๐Ÿ‘Š of course every plant and every genetic is different, many are fast, overnight changes, so make sure you check them everyday ! ๐Ÿ‘
Northnut
Northnut
@CRiSPrGrow, Will there be a noticeably difference between them being clear as opposed to cloudy? I bought a magnifying glass that it's still a bit hard to tell if clear or cloudy. Although I'd say they're still premature just do to the fact that the pistils are only 20 percent white and I dont really see the swelled mushroom head of the trichomes in the magnifying glass. Also is the change from clear to cloudy a gradual change or a fast one? Sorry for all the questions but first time grower here just trying to perfect things as I go haha
CRiSPrGrow
CRiSPrGrow
@Northnut, clear trichomes means they are NOT ready to be harvested, so waiting is needed for the trichomes to rippen, not necessarily to stack on weight, but if the trichomes need that much longer to rippen sometimes the plant does stack on that weight get it? flush when almost all the trichomes are cloudy hope this helps ! ๐Ÿš€

Free advice : 3.54 EC sounds like you want to kill her ! Way too much nutrients , at that stage 1.4 would be better , 1.6 if you really wanna push her. Or maybe you just made a mistake when entering the numbers
CRiSPrGrow
CRiSPrGrow
@OutForReal, just updated the numbers, seems more credible now... soil is wierd sometimes you're at 6 EC sometimes you're at 1.6 i think it depends on the soil running off itself - does that make any sense ? like how your runoff PH will fluctuate depending on the time of day....

@OutForReal, i think it's just the soil... hard to get an accurate read with soil - et me check again

BigDaddyKweek 4
Hi bro , I think we all struggling with high temps , there s not much you can really do without climate control , the key to growth is having the right light intensity , I try to get the light as close as possible , this can be really close with leds , 12 inches with my bestva (900) , watering is super important , I am currently doing a soil test , with home bargains compost , and I water once a week , less is more , the ec of the runoff is 1.9 so I have not added a single nutrient yet .
CRiSPrGrow
CRiSPrGrow
@BigDaddyK, hey quick question : what temp do you think is optimal for the autos ? i reckon a tad less than photos since most autos have that ruderalis which is from high altitude cold places no ? that's why they like grow nutes less, high temps less, etc etc.?
CRiSPrGrow
CRiSPrGrow
@BigDaddyK, yeah, nutes not so important in soil, but getting that kelp in really helps, and enzymes also really help - just what i noticed... my growing ladies loved a bit of carbs last time, makes me want to add some for em now, but less is more and too much is too much.... anyway, lmao i'm not about to give THE BIG DADDY K any advice am i? what I'm thinking down the line after a few grows is testing some of the "mono nutrients" combinations in poorer soil so i can really have more control (and have a bit more to do ๐Ÿ˜„ )
