So far this has been quite the learning journey. Auto's are a helluva lot of fun tho. Definitely running in 5 gallon cloth containers from here out, with a much higher ratio of coir. Keep that medium more neutral. These ladies really like a safe, pH'd, low nutrient enviro for the first couple weeks. Very sensitive to light burn, and long term issues with nitrogen and nutrient lock. It's also fun to note how well they responded to some home made organic nutrients. I'll have to see how my other journal turns out just running organics. This will be the final update in this diary for the SWxDG donor, she is performing perfectly and will get her own diary in the coming weeks. Still choosing the strain to cross her with. I'm thinking something skunky. We shall see. Hope everyone had a wonderful week of growing! โ๏ธ๐ฑ
nice setup, ive got 1 phantom 600wLED AND A lumii 400w LED.
also i wired up some LED grow bulbs (100w each) but dont really use them too much.
anyways happy growing!
@MyWifeSaysIcanDateU, I've been adding a little more power as we go, and bringing the light closer to the plants. Thanks for that! I'll definitely start lower and increase the intensity as it ages. LED is pretty badass.
@DoctorAutoflower, that's the silver regimen I'm on currently. There are definitely some unique things happening at the bud sites, how ever this is my first time handling auto's...so we'll see how it goes. โ๏ธ๐ฑ
@CrystalMeph,
There isn't much to it once you have a good formula colloidal silver = spray daily, silver thiosulfate = once a week. Also keep spraying even after a few sacks start to form, you don't want to wait the whole process to find out the sacks are empty.
The whole point of this is to create a hermie. She/he is still young so you'll likely still get sacks. And your welcome. Thank you for stopping by one of my journal, maybe I'll creat a new one soon.l
@DoctorAutoflower, that's what I was thinking originally. I read a few really lonnnnng articles about forcing autoflowers. From what I read, you have to wait a little longer into seeing pistols or the plant may hermie. Info could be WAY off, but she is definitely starting to form some new sacks. I guess we'll see. Regardless; I have more of her seeds to try again. I appreciate your helpful comment tho.
@Bigpoppachubbs, Thanks, theyre almost back to 100%. It's a 3D printed LST tool that a growmie designed. You can find this one on thingiverse.com if you search "LST". I have a bunch of cool 3D printed goodies I've designed over the years in my next grow that's germing rn.
