I have three grow diaries going with Super Auto Seeds. I want to see if there isn’t any difference in the way the plant grows and the final yield, comparing a 3 gallon pot to a 7 gallon pot. 100% success germination. I start seeds in a wet paper towel for 2-3 days and then once I see a good tap root I drop the seed into a solo cup with CoCo LoCo!

Each one took off! Day 13 was transplant day. I use aloe flakes and Xtreme mykos to help with shock. I also put some clover top dress in the 7 gallon pots.

Started to see some purpling in the stems so I upped the magnesium with epsom salt (magnesium sulfate). I would really like to use Microbeneficials magnesium product but I still have a bunch of epsom salt so once I run out I will finally order their product. I also did a foliar spray with Lazarus and Uriah on day 17 and 19. Day 25 and im impressed!! This one in the 3 gallon is almost the same height, but I think the 7 gallon has a stronger foundation. Time will tell but very happy with the way they look. Be sure to click my instagram link for more photos!!

The girl in the 7 gal is just shy of 4 ft tall!! The one in the 3 gal is a little further ahead in bud development and has a More solid foundation. Stoked on both of these! I added some Bloom boost and I am going to add a craft blend top dress on wednesday (day 35)

Wow!! The plant just passed 49 inches! It stretched so much, my light is all the way up and she’s almost touching it! The pics are from day 35 and I covered the cover crop with some rich compost I made. I then put coco loco on top because I like the microbe profile to help with absorption of my compost. I added a couple pics of what looks like rust spots on the leaves of only the tall plant in 7 gallon. I’ve given these two plants the exact same feeding so not sure what is causing it.

Looks like calcium deficiency, specially since it it's happened on the top leaves.

Wut the wut!?! From ground this plant isn’t is 62” from the top of soil it’s 52”!!! Def the tallest Auto I’ve seen. It is most likely looking deficient because it grew so much taller and needed more nitrogen than the others, but I fed them all the same.

I’ve gave a solid feeding. Might give one last small feeding next week, then flush with Uriah until harvest. Ohh the smell!! It literally smells like smoke and fuel. Gonna be high as a jet with this strain 😉

SO WHAT ended up with more weight? The short fatty in the 3 gallon or the 5’3 lengthy one in the 7 gallon?? Drum roll 🥁 3 gal-48.8 grams 7 gal-46.6!! Damn what a close one. Again just going to stick with the 3 gallons from now on. I can get more plants per light 😉 the tall one definitely had that haze come through. Since the buds aren’t dense I’m going to press the whole thing into rosin.

Awesome grow. Weird conclusion. I have learned to try to use the pot size that you think the strain will use. I like to grow large autos like Incredible Bulk Autos and the entire Dinafem Seeds XXL auto strains. They do very well in 7 gal pots. I have always choose pot size like this. Small autos = 3 gal pot Medium autos = 5 gal pot Large autos = 7 gal pot Monster autos = 10 gal pot Hmm maybe I should try 5 gal pots for my XXL Strains.

@JerMeds, for sure that all makes sense! You should def try that 5 gallon and I’d be interested in your findings!

Nice butt! Oops i mean nice buds! Sorry, had to say it xD From the soil up my auto got to 50", it stopped growing after i bended the top 90 degrees lol.. I think that in my case it was heatstress, it was extremely hot and dry here.

@EarthAlkemist, I’ve been using RO water from day 1
Skunk_Life85
Skunk_Life85commented7 years ago
@diamondtrichomes, also if the problem is fixed the damage on the leaves will always be there so it will look like the problem is still there when its really not. If using tap, fluoride can axualy lock out some nutes and create deficancys. I was having the same issues and started using distilled water and all the issues went away..
Skunk_Life85
Skunk_Life85commented7 years ago
@diamondtrichomes, I'm not big on foliar,I Feel like it dosnt make a difference in my opinion. I would always add cal mag to the watering regimen and feeding especially if using coco. Cal mag issues usually pop up during week 3-6 of flower as well. What kind of water are you using? Tap, filtered/ spring,ro/distilled ?
