4/5 popped, 3 white diesel and one northern lights. Northern was old seeds though. For 1st week I have them under 125w cfl in air cooled hood and two t-5’s hanging sideways. Hot outside temp’s biggest challenge so far. Day 6 removed t5,s and replaces with two 125 cfls and left air cooled hood in for mh next week. Just normal pace atm
Moved to MH 400w a week early so I could use the air cooled hood to bring down temperature. Makes watering a lot easier too. Slower growth then expected probably due to temperatures of 30-31 during some periods. One of the white diesel has looked like the runt from birth, looking forward to seeing what it grows into. Will up too a 600w next week it the sailing is smooth. The drips on leafs are from me misting them not high humidity.
Temperatures finally looking bearable 27-29 and looks like weather is cooling down finally too just in time for a growth explosion ;)
Weather nice and cool, upgraded to 600w Mh. Fastest plant Is already on 5th set, slowest just started making 3rd set both white diesel. WILl be starting lst soonish.
Day 17 started LST on two fastest growers. Will gradually be bending them over
Day 21 all 4 plant stalks at 90• now so sweet off shoot branches. Added humidifier as I noticed 40% with high temperature was causing leaf issues so cool shooting mist out all the time as a bonus. Sprayed neem oil mixed with natural insecticide soap today for prevention and to strength them for weeks ahead.
Peace !
Day 23 all responding well to lst, there enjoying the higher humidity too. Haven’t had too bend around the pot yet, noticeable smell localised. Giving nutes every other watering and watering every 3rd day.
Unrelated: just came back from a hydro cheese grow stalks were thicker than my wrist, they were triffid human eating size.
I’m amazed at how much the stems of side branches can change direction relative to the light, the ones aiming too the soil have done a 180 twist in 1 inch of space. Will try to get some pics of it soon.
Day 26 starting to take there shape and fill the pot with a lot of coercion. No issues yet
Hello fellow growers !
Thanks for taking the time.
1. I’ve been using 5g pots so far for autoflowering, can I get away with less and produce similar yields ?
2. New too LED what wattage do you reccom for 1m2 and 4 plants ?
Any auto indica/hybrid reccom ? No cheese thanks again
LED wattage: for 1 m2 (10.76 sqft) use 30 to 40 watts per square feet; that would make it 300 to 400 watts of LED (true wattage that is, not equivalent). Google Solstrips, they are awesome and can yield between 1 to 2 Grand per watt.
Sure you can use smaller pots, 3 gallon will do nicely; at worst you will have to feed a bit earlier.
I just free sweet skunk from RQS, great strain. A classic like white widow or northern lights is always nice too.
I’ve decided on LSD-25 for its purple tones and Pineapple Express for obv reasons UPDATE: due to delay in Pineapple Express I’ve been upgraded to sugar mama 5 seeds instead of 3 Thanks gorilla !. I’ll be setting it up next week and trying the same LED seed to harvest, exciting times !
Day 29 NL in the 3 galwas droopy yesterday, I believe it it was thirsty so watered them all a day early. UPDATE it was thirsty looking good now. Could be pot size issues already, good experiment anyway.
I’d like denser buds this time around so I’ve upped HID by 200w and supplementing it with two small LED’s too fill all corners + LST too lessen popcorn buds.
Day 30 had to repair two fan leaf stems - growing faster than they can react to the pressure my guess good to know though. 3 galleon pot because dry a day earlier than the 5 galleon.
Purple streaks on stems again maybe plant has started looking for phosphorous or it’s the strain. Delicious herb Smell now present
All ok so far had too switch too led only as hps was too hot and for stealth reasons had too keep window shut. Always hits home at this point what more I could do without such limitations.
Can’t see much difference after switching too led 2 weeks into flower. One plant is one week ahead and Is drinking 30% more water. Greeted by sweet dank aroma when opening. Still have to open passive intakes too use all 3 led’s.
Back too the 600w hps now, had too use LEDs for a while for stealth reasons. Only issue is the different rates there all growing at. One white diesel is a week ahead and the northen lights is trichromeless. Might have too find new drying method as tent might not be free with staggered harvest.
Sorry for shit pics been a real busy week, will make up for it hopefully.
Nute burn on the fastest grower so have been flushing it out last few watering’s.
Hi all. Looking for some ideas on where to hang my buds too dry b4 cure. I use the tent but I’ve got plants going straight in and some ready sooner than others. I have an attic but it’s usually over 25c. The wardrobe I think might be too humid. Smell Stealth reasonably important
Hello ! Well it's a bit tricky in your case , if your wardrobe is too humid you can put a fan in front of the drying plants to settle a constant airflow and avoid any mold (it's working for me with high RH) but it will be hard to control the smell. You can build a small drying box and don't forget the fan if you humidity is too high. You can put a box in your box like athos told you (with small holes for the airflow). The only good way to keep it stealth (smell) is to dry in the box that have a carbon filter so as soon as the rest of your crop is ready it's better to dry them in that place. I hope it will help you 😁👍
One of the white diesel is nearly ready, other two just packing on now. northen lights just prepping itself still Lots of white pistols. HAD too bodge bamboo supports for tipping colas looks cool though.
All germinated at the same time, just goes too show how bigger part genes plays in auto lifespan. Could be another two weeks on the rest at least wtf lol
Just harvested first of three white diesel motor 18th/10 next two next week, one of the colas was super dense and had rotted on the inside due to lack of good air flow. Apart from that disappointment all is looking good in the bodge dry setup
Update *Impressed with the white diesel. Sensi seeds hasn’t let me down yet ! Yields of between 3.2 to 4.3 oz per plant dry. Tastes great nice and sweet. Northen lights has gone 15 weeks though and Is looking like a 5 oz plus plant super dense ! Foxtailing like crazy too
