Week 9
Color and overall health appears great flowers are getting frosty. Super cropped due to light height as 30cm is max according to manufacturer. Early Cal deficiency noted last week, will continue to monitor.
Day 60 & 58 (start days were off, used seedling stage vs sprout).
Considerations for the week.
1. Continue light defoliation, do not want to cause any additional stress.
2. Monitor light height. Super crop as needed 1-2 per day.
3. Continue nutrient schedule, consider switch to Ripen following week depending on bud growth.
4. Monitor odor. Ona block placed in home, not in room.
31/7/2022 - 76-83F, 59% humidity. EC 1500/1580. PH 6.03/5.99. 2-2.5L per plant AM, 1.5-2L PM, run-off good. Defoliated sm branches on lower 1/3 of plants.
1/8/2022 - 75-82F, 59% humidity. EC 1580. PH 5.99. 2-2.5L AM, 1.5-2L PM. Run-off good. Defoliated a few additional sm branches/bud sites, and super cropped (SC) 1 branch on #2. 2-3 branches to SC remain on #2 as they are too close to the light.
2/8/2022 - 75-83F, 60% humidity. EC 1620/1590. PH 6.01/6.05. 2-2.5L AM, 1.5-2L PM. Run-off good. Defoliated a few additional sm branches/bud sites, and super cropped (SC) 1 branch on #2.
3/8/2022 - 75-82F, 60% humidity. EC 1580/1520. PH 6.05/5.96. 2-2.5L AM, 1.5-2L PM. Run-off good. Defoliated a few additional sm branches/bud sites. Smells starting to increase.
4/8/2022 - 75-81F, 59% humidity. EC 1520/1500. PH 5.93/6.03. 2-2.5L AM, 1.5-2L PM. Run-off good. A few pistils turning brown. Defoliated a few additional sm branches/bud sites. May need to SC a few branches on #2.
5/8/2022 - 74-80F, 59% humidity. EC 1480/1420. PH 6.0/6.0. 2-2.5L AM, 1.5 PM. Run-off good. Defoliated a few additional sm branches/bud sites. Continue to monitor #2 for potential SC..
6/8/2022 - 74-80F, 59% humidity. EC 1420. PH 6.01. 2-2.5L AM, 1.5 PM. Run-off good. Defoliated a few additional sm branches/bud sites. Continue to monitor #2 for potential SC.
Another week in the books, bud sites starting to fatten up, some brown pistils and smells increasing. Continue to monitor #2 for potential SC as height is nearly to the lights.

Grow Questions
NamasteDavestarted grow question 2 years ago
Two plants of the same strain/breeder NL Auto and one is considerably larger. I have used a tote as booster, but the taller plant continues to grows. Photos from 9-7 to 12-7.
1. Is it OK to ScrOG an autoflower in week 6? Should the ScrOG be applied at lights on/lights off.
Thanks

Early in the day, set up the scrog net and LST their way the best you can, it will improve your yields doing it right. Avoid stressing them.

New grower question - When to switch from preflower nutrients to flower?
Growing in coco/perlite following Terra Aquatica, Tripart nutrient schedule. Plants are NL autos week 7, sprouted 2 days apart.

GrowingGrannieanswered grow question 2 years ago
I have settled into a routine with all my autos (and they're all I grow) of starting their nutes off about week 2 or 3 with 1/4 strength grow AND bloom nutes... and increase the doses to 1/2 the next week if they're tolerating them... and so on. With MY nute line, I never get to full strength grow nutes as I find it too strong for my plants... but the bloom nutes are well tolerated and I think it's a good idea to "tell" the plant I'm here to help it... So MY routine is not when to ADD bloom nutes but when to STOP grow nutes - and that occurs about week 4-5.
Autos don't like a whole lot of nitrogen in flowering stage and too much nitrogen can lockout calcium which is critical to the flowers... so, since they're already in flower, I would recommend dropping your FloraGro back by half at least and doubling your FloraBloom... Generally, if you're not as weird as I guess I am about things, you should start introducing bloom nutes when the plants go into pre-flower... it just encourages the formation of the buds and gives the plant the calcium and phosphorus needed - and only use calmag IF the plant asks for it (shows either calcium or magnesium deficiency) and then only once a week.
Good luck with your grow - it looks really, really good!
NamasteDavestarted grow question 2 years ago
Brown spots on a few leaves close to the light that had yet to be super cropped to control height. Not noted on lower leaves. Temps/humidity OK, no changes in nutrients.
Thinking this could be from being too close to the lights, but would appreciate some expert feedback. Thanks!

Looks to me like the start of a potassium deficiency. If it started on the lower canopy then calcium( which your not adding any cal-mag. Usually required unless you have really hard tap water. )
I rant into the same with my first grow doing a 1 grow :2 micro :3 bloom ratio for flower with general hydroponics. when it should be more like a 2:2:3(grow,micro,bloom) the Gro has a lot of potassium in it and most nitrogen comes from the micro.
Stick with the feed chart for your ratio

OMG, they are HUGE and looking amazing, all the snow flake on the buds 😋.
I believe the pot size make all difference compering to mine. I'll try a bigger pot on the next round.
I can wait to see your final results!
Amazing work @NamasteDave, well done. Keep Growing!

Thanks again for the feedback. I am also looking forward to your harvest with LST and topping. Of course the new batch you started I will be following as I have both of the same strains ready to roll after we get back from traveling.

@CaptainKurryKush,
Appreciate your support and encouragement. Thanks for sending the link, very informative. From a timing perspective with autos wondering if it is OK to do an initial defoliation now prior to flower, then one during flower?

@SwissKush,
Thanks again for sharing this information. I am going to try and source the Coco a/b
. The closest shop does not sell the coco nutrients. I have some time before the next grow to try some other shops or online. Need to keep it simple...thanks again!

@NamasteDave, You're welcome, I chatted with a few friends that only grow in coco coir indoors with LED and also switched 100% to the GHE dual part coco line without ever going back to the TriPart in coco. They do see better denser flower results than before, and have learned the immense value of a pre-flower fresh water root system flush. When talking to them about what to do with TriPart, if not switching to GHE coco, they stress that in coco coir it is important to really flush out the nitrogen from the FloraMicro/Gro vegetative build up with fresh water for 3 days before you change to the flowering blend. One even recommended to use your garden hose or shower hose cold water through your substrate for a few minutes to wash it clean after 3 the day flush. He mentioned that with Tripart in coco coir the measurements listed on the side of the bottle are not exactly right for cannabis, and to stick with the traditional 1-2-3 NPK ratios for cannabis flowering, which limits the FloraMicro a bit more than the bottle recommends. I do this in DWC with amazing results. I only tried growing cannabis coco once and failed, too much nitrogen, no flushing, lol. You grew real monster plants man that have a very unique look! 😍

@SwissKush,
Thanks again for the feedback. I was wondering about the coco line from GHE. I have Hulkberry, Purple Punch , and Green Gelato Auto seeds from RQS, which I try this fall. DWC is my next step, but likely in a grow or two. The costs are kinda prohibitive at the moment. Again thank you!

What schedule do you use for the General Hydroponics 3-part Flora series? I’m looking for a feed schedule from someone who’s used it. Thanks for your help.

@@StinkyBudz,
I initially used the coco for cannabis website's schedule for the seedling phase and then used the Terra Aquatic (TA) EU schedule for veg/preflower/flower. There is a US TA schedule which is a little more indepth. Just make sure you flush between veg/preflower/flower and start with the lower end of EC and slowly increase. Best of 🤞
