Tutorial #1 - The Basics With Auto's

The plants are really starting to impress me for bulk autoflowers. The 2 floaters that refused to sink are definitely showing some genetic anomalies, Only producing 1 side branch right beside the main apex cola. Very strange & both of them are exactly the same. The Northern Lights is going to end up being the biggest plants in the room & so far I would say the best in the room as well. They are bred with a sativa ruderelis which apparently makes them larger than normal for autoflowers. They are the slowest out of the strains now entering into flower. The wedding cheesecake is catching up as all the plants are now going through their " early flower stretch " until around the end of week 3 of flower. I am starting to get real excited to see what these plants can do! The 2 cheese XXL are already dry from their .35 gallons each 2 days ago & still not near peak consumption so they should be on track for 2 ounces a plant already which id be very happy with as an average across 15 plants. June 12th 2022 - Day 30 Today the plants are looking great. The Cheese XXL has for sure pretty much capped out for its vertical growth. The Northern Lights Auto's hardly have any hairs & have not even begun to stagger their nodes yet. I am beginning to contemplate dropping the light cycle down next week if by the end of this week they have not shown a more aggressive progression to flower. I think in my opinion, They are much closer to being right on the line of photoperiod/autflower than the Cheese XXL & Wedding Cheesecake or some of the Skunk pheno's. Since they have recovered & regrown so much from the last defoliation, I am going to go ahead & do their " week 1 flower " SCHWAZZE tomorrow. Stay tuned you guys this one could really surprise us in the end! June 13th 2022 - Day 31 Today was a busy day. I figured I would be defoliating today for sure, But the plants where also all dried out ! So they got their water cycle of B-Vital / Root builder & PH'ed water. This was given to them immediately after their defoliation. I have decided to give them until the end of the week then drop the light cycle down more to 16/8. After defoliation I noticed a lot of these plants have not yet begun to stagger nodes or even begin their early flower stretch. I don't want them to end up completely overtaking the tent so I will be reducing the light cycle more to try and force them to flower more actively. WATER DAY PER 6 GALLONS ROOT BUILDER - 25ML BVITAL - 1.25TSP PH - 5.9 TEMP - 68F 0.25-0.35 GALLONS EACH June 14th 2022 - Day 32 Today is the first day after week 1 flower SCHWAZZE, Backed up with their water cycle in the feed routine. The water had in it, Root builder & B-vital. As you can see they have not only sprung back but grown in the areas we wanted them to grow. This is all about the timing of the defoliation & feeding them directly afterward with something in the feed to help them recover from stress. Also knowing the difference between a leaf that is only a fan leaf & a leaf that is a " feeder " leaf. Since through math we know that this tent at most could not do over 2.5LB I have removed the third spectrum king to make room to re-hang my oscillating fan. I hung it with some light pulleys & got the idea from my buddy 1Right_Angle with his hanging heater! Now the fan is on setting 1 keeping our plant top temps at 77-79 max (photo was taken with tent open so it was slightly lower) June 15th 2022 - Day 33 The A/C window-banger got put in today the lower viewing window to better control the plant top temps. Some of the plants are getting a bit more direct air flow than I would want them to but some sacrafices must be made for the great good! The wedding cheesecake has grown quite a bit vertically now we are just waiting for the northern lights and the rest of the skunk to do their early flower stretch before the net goes down! Today was a FEED DAY & the recipe was as follows : PER 6 GALLONS GROW - 20ML MICRO - 25ML BLOOM - 35ML MEDIONE - 10ML ROOT BUILDER - 25ML TERPINATOR - 35ML B-VITAL - 1.5TSP PPM - 1450 (KNOCKED DOWN TO 1250) PH 5.9 TEMP : 68F June 16th 2022 - Day 34 For sure will be swapping down to 16/8 at the end of this week to try and encourage more aggressive flowering from the Northern Lights & most Skunks. I feel these pheno's do not have a high percentage of ruderelis in their genes and still have yet to do their stretch in early flower. I want to get them flowering ASAP before they end up over-growing the tent. So week 2 of flower will start with 16/8. If that does not work, Week 3 will be 14/10. The plants are looking outstanding & the Cheese XXL & Wedding Cheesecake are going right along schedule with their autoflower genetics. The Northern Lights specifically, Are just getting bigger & bigger. June 17th 2022 - Day 35 The timer has been set to give them an extra 2 hours of down time so now we are at 16/8. First observation of these OAseeds.com bulk autos is that they are for sure inconsistent with their genetic percentage of autoflower genes / photoperiod genes. Not to say these plants aren't healthy vigorous plants but I don't think these would be IDEAL for someone strictly looking for autoflowers & the unique growth properties they offer. I am hoping knocking back the light cycle 2 more hours will kick it in enough but if not by end of week 2, Week 3 will for sure start at 14/10. Tomorrow is going to be a feed day to start off week 2 of flower & they are going to be more than ready for another heavy defoliation week 3 flower.
