Welcome to my Milkyway F1 Auto Diary sponsored by RQS.
Pre Flower Days 6-11 Days 50-56 wk 8
Thankfully both phenos are back at full tilt. And working hard to push through pre flower. When it's over. I'll try up my co2 and keep my temp between 29-31c and RH around 70-75% with 3 fans. I don't think I'll have the temperature to hold that in my grow room. But a sealed tent 70cm2 that I'll vent every 30-60m (all depending if I can hold RH/TEMP levels. Co2 level desire won't be an Issue. I've one of the best kits on the market. Both plants are healthy and happy. Only thing. I'm worried about Plagron Enzymes (pure zym) and Co2 with such a hot substrate i might get a bad reaction. Especially with Power Roots. So this will be Power Roots last feed for this wk. And I'll also pull Zym and I'll be adding Sugar Royal & Terpinator for increased sugar. I'm still trying to figure out the best approach. But, I'm not sure. I think sealed tents are not for me. Too much work. That, and my controller isn't made for regulation of Temp/RH by fan control. Best I can do Is figure out when/ and what rates my plants consume co2 and guess when to put my timers on and off for Exhaust and Co2 Valve.
Diet
On a Full line of Plagron, base nutrients, silic rock, pure zym, & Terpinator. Basic bloom Feeds are 490ppm with everything in. Terpinator is 390-400ppm 6.1ph.
Heights
37 pheno1 "topped" & 39cm pheno 2 "untopped"
Co2
Ambient level is 1150 but without high temperatures. No co2 in the world will help.
Lights
P/SF 1000(s)
850-900umol.
Both lights have different spectrums. But both seem to be doing well. The issue has passed with the plants falling into a droopy stage when the lights go out. It seems to have stopped.
I'll add my FC 3000 if and when I add co2. As I consider Pre Flower a growth stage. I've not added what lights I'm using for flowering. As I've yet to make that choice. They might be going under my one of my FC(s).

@Breadandbuds, Yeah, I mes them also. As my understanding where F1s were FF photos. They sent me something explaining what they mean. It's just a cross of less strains, even a more stable pheno. I think. I read it couple wks back lol, and my mind blank
My next thing is getting a veg tent sorted. I've got my old 4x4 still I've also got a ts1000 I just need the space lol. Only thing I'd need to buy to set it up would be a wee extractor.
@gottagrowsometime, that's my main reason for making the switch to fems this run, I've done auto runs I've been happy with got what i thought was a decent yield, but then I'd end up getting an ounce each from 3 that took 14 weeks also lol. I've germinated, gg sherbet, gg cookies and tropicana cookies, all 3 are the fast buds FFs. See how this one goes. I'll be adding the uv/ir light in soon also, just need to buy one first lol.
@Aldo90, yeah, a veggie tent is a must. In saying that. Soon, she'll be rocking a 300w or I might just add another 100w as my 100cm2 is flowering fems and is only running at barely 14hrs a day. Frosted G is already flipped. The p1000 puts out enough ppfd to finish her. But, not for the whole tent I'll need 2. Have to think on it. Will the yield of 4 autos be enough for the cost of running it. I'm not sure.
@NegotiatedBubble, caught about 15 on just 1. Thing is, did i catch them before they got a chance to lay any eggs. I'll know in a few days if my 4e investment paid off.
Is a good test iam doing to on Purple Pung OG, is fresh and good to know to understand how a plant respond to the topping and let know to other grower. If I were a breeder I would insert this indication on the response to the topping in the data sheet
@Breadandbuds, I fully agree with you. As some breeders autos do really well when topped, have to get it in and hopefully you'll get min another 2 weeks of veg. Fastbuds take well to a top. But 3 times I done it to dutch-passion and they turned out small.
Look forward to seeing the results. I just topped pheno 1, have to get her uppoted to her next pot. Have done it in a way, I can push my 2 hands down and cup it to pull it up. Hopefully won't be too much stress. Both will have to go through this. Gonna make it as even as I can. I know you can't get results , well results you can say for sure it'll work everytime. But, as these are meant to give a more equally grown crop. They are more or less in at the same stage, pheno 1&2 when you look bk over the days, they more or less match.
Your passion for gardening is contagious. Your plants reflect the love and care you pour into them. Keep nurturing and sharing your green journey, inspiring others along the way. π±πͺ
