RickJames_Mcdank Too bad that there was some delay with getting the test products. because I already started a new grow. but because of the time left. I decided to do outdoor and use autoflower. I am testing GrowCaps nutrients. It contains all the nutrients needed for the whole cycle. Contains feeding for veg, bloom and has bloom booster. I am using seeds that I won from newbie of the month June. Cherry Bomb Autoflower seeds. I want to do this as cheap as possible. I only bought soil from the local home depot Praxis that cost 3,99 euro. Thats my only cost for now. To do this test I asked a friend of mine to help me out. We are both using Cherry Bomb Autoflower that's been germinated at the same time. And also doing outdoor. So I have one 11 liter pot with Grow Caps and another 11 liter pot with Plagron bat mix soil. Let see if we see any difference or maybe similarity.

RickJames_Mcdank Cherry Bomb auto is doing really good so far no problems at all and only once a week she gets water just like it says in the in the manuel. Today she started to show some white hair. So she is already in the flowering phase now. And the one with the Bat mix soil she is doing exactly the same but she is only a few milimeters shorter then the one with Grow caps. Overall I must say I am impressed that she is keeping reall good up with the bat mix.

RickJames_Mcdank So far both are doing really good and are growing at the same rate. I gave her only 400 ml water this week. And the one with the Bat mix soil is doing really good too and she looks really well fed. you can see that the bat mix soil is strong but the Grow caps is giving the plant exaclty the right amount of nutes that she needs. So far so good. She did grow reall fast taller this week.🙏

RickJames_Mcdank Well she is both doing really good. The Growcaps one she is doing perfect and getting exactly the right amount of feeding and she look so healthy. But the one with the Bat mix soil is growing fatser and the lower branches are longer then the one with Growcaps. But hey its Plagron bat mix soil its high quality soil thats what you supoose to expect. But for now she is doing perfect.

No stress and no nute blocks or what so ever. Growcaps is doing a damn good job! The one with the Bat mix soil is ofcourse growing how it supposed to be growing. Nice and healthy.

RickJames_Mcdank Well well I am really very impressed how Grow caps works! So far no deficiency at all. she has a nice green color and is healthy good in condition. The blooming is boosting really well. But wow I am really impressed with Growcaps. And she is getting the right amount of nutes at the right time. And the one with the Bat mix soil, as you can see she is starting to show Nitrogen and Cal/Mag deficiency. One of the reason is that all the nutrients are used up it was fertilized for 6 weeks. So now she needs a lil more Nitrogen. The other reason is that the soil with the bat mix only had rain water for watering for the last few days. And iwith rain water you will get Cal/Mag deficiency instead of using normal tap water. So now he will start to use tap water again. And hope the Cal/Mag will be back on normal levels. But so far Grow caps really is impressive!😍😨

RickJames_Mcdank Wow the trichome production is amazing she is getting so frosty now damn. I don't know if it is the strain or the Booster that is working now. But so far she is doing great and all good smell is really fruity holy shit. The soil with the bat mix is finaly catching up now and doing really good. She is getting Alga bloom now with each watering. I have to say the one with the grow caps is really doing its job tremendous.

RickJames_Mcdank Well both of them are doing now really fine and very nice. Too bad we started a bit late with the outdoor grow because the sun is getting less and its on a lower stand now. So we won't get any big cola's but hey she smells good and I think it will be a sweet smoke. She smells like fruity berry very sweet. But the growcaps is doing the work and I am still happy with it. Added only water so far no nutes just growcaps. She getting the right amount of nutes the release is really good on time and fase.

RickJames_Mcdank Well she is really frosty now and the smell is so fruity and sweet. The pistils a really light brown of color and some even almost still white. The one with the Bat mix has really matured more. The pistils are much darker and she looks all ready now. I think we will start this small harvest this weekend. let see how she still goes because mine still need some more time.😃

RickJames_Mcdank Well we harvest her at day 77 so that means she should be perfect matured now. Well I must say I am very pleased with the results and amazed too. It was really easy to only give water once a week. And at every stage it was just perfect and everything went normal no deficiency signs at all. And the growcaps is really good for beginners. This is really good to just have no worry's if you have a busy life. It also saves allot of money too because otherwise I would have to buy fertilizer separately for each stage. And the soil with the Bat mix did ofcourse the work. I must say that the growcaps is almost equal to a super enriched soil like bat mix. I have put my buds together with the bat mix one to hang and dry. So there will be as equal as possible. But let see after a few days of drying and maybe a few days of curing and do the taste test. And how much we harvest. I must say because of the late outdoor grow the buds are very small but lets see for the taste. 😍😍👊🙏👊🙏

RickJames_Mcdank This was a Cherrybomb auto the smell is very fruity and sweet. She is so easy togrow just make sure she get enought sun or light if you want to get a good yield. Although I started late in the summer I still got a nice small popcorn mini buds just to enjoy for a smoke of vaporizer. And with the growcaps it was only water and thats it. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. Just make sure you don't over water her because that mistake can be made easily for beginners or if you dont follow the instructions. Compared to the bat mix soil I must stay the Bat mix soil is ofcourse superior the smell is more powerfull and the buds are thicker. The instruction said that you don't need to add anything and just use universalpot soil. It would be nice if the grower could could add some bat guano maybe with the growcaps for intermediate and or experienced growers. But I would for sure recommend the Growcaps and if the price is right every grower should havea few Growcaps in house.

@Growersheaven, Ah wel beter iets dan niets dan. Zolang je maar niet hard wordt aangepakt door de justitie. ik zie ook dat je met Plagron je eerste kweek bent begonnen? Ja ik ook en ik ben echt super blij met Plagron het is zo makkelijk en je plant wordt er heel blij van.

@RickJames_Mcdank,ik gebruik eigenlijk gewoon huismerk tomatenvoeding van de lokale Boerenbond en ik geef pas vanaf 2de week bloei tot flush green sensations van plangron en ze doen het allemaal goed ik kweek al jaren hoor maar altijd buiten dit is gewoon mijn 3de kweek binnen in een kast die ik helemaal zelf gebouwd heb wat niet zo echt min was voor een onhandige trien als ik 😜😜😜

RickJames_Mcdankcommented7y ago
@Growersheaven, Hahah ja goed hoor! Ja buiten en binnen is wel een verschil van kweek ja. Ik doe nu me eerst buiten/balkon kweekje. Ik heb toevallig een oude Ikea kast gewoon omgebouwd tot een kweekkast.. Maar dit maakt ons wel creatiever en meer begrijpen van het kweken indoor. Maar ik wil wel uiteindelijk overstappen naar een tent dat is wel wat makkelijker denk ik. Haha

Cherry bomb is a strain that I had in my garden for well over a year. One of my favorites actually. I grew the photoperiod femanized seeds because personally I like to shape my plants more then autos allow. If you want to check out what they looked like at harvest check out the link below to my cherry bomb harvest video from my YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/OiC2Wnv-544 Best of luck with your grow and I hope you love the strain as much as I do!!!

Those buds look like they’ve been dipped in sugar. Must be potent!🔥

6 grams is pretty weak for a whole plant, well done but you want atleast an ounce mate. minimum i can see where you've gone wrong my mate who knows what he's doing is helping me avoid mistakes like this. Your night temperature is far too low and you need real nutrients. Grow pellets aren't great, autos are already a lazy version of weed. Also you shouldnt need to water them everyday if you drench them that can stunt them aswell. A lot of people on here get atleast 2-4 ounces from that strain, I'm hoping to do the same. Better luck on your next grow, 2 main things i learned from almost killing them the first time, theyre better warmer than colder, theyre better given water as they need it rather than drenching them.
the end.
