-Seeds have just popped and are looking good, no feed this week only pH 6.0 water. will update in 7 days time.
-Day 5 today, started nutes at 1/5 strenth. Nutrifield Coco A & B with some rhizo substitute also from nutrifield.
-Week 1 complete, plants seem to be growing fine, i may have slowed the growth slightly by watering too much, there has been a heat wave in my city lately so outside temps 30c+, temps in tent have got to about the same but the girls seem to be handling it ok.
Considering the fact that droopy leaves is the main symptom of an over watering I doubt you did that. However you'r right you can over water your plant in coco but it require a lot of water but if you continue to give them 0.95L a day then it will happen. Just low your amount of water and don't water daily , wait for the coco to be not dry but close to before you water ( because a too dry medium can lead to under watering and at that stage it will be fatal ) 😊
Start of week 2, plants growing ok, temps have been nearing 40 c in the tent some days but girls seem to be coping, will be upping the nutes a bit this week so hopefully no burning.
Day 13: Found Chemdogg had fallen over thismorning, its still been very warm and she was too dry, i made a brace to support her skinny stem, raised the light a little and fed again, GSC has some upward leaf curl on the edges from the heat.
Day 14: End of week 2, had some decent growth from both girls this week, I plan on upping the feed again next week. GSC showing a little bit of heat stress on the edges of ther three fans as its just been so hot lately. (Middle of summer)
Chemdoggs looking good coming into week 3, GSC is lagging behind a bit, i have the 250w 12 inches above them. High temps last week. 30+c alot of the time. Main stems still arnt the thickest either so I have decided to add some silica to the mix this week, will get their first feed with it tomorrow, hopefully it works as well as im told. Have also upped the a & b to 1.2 ml per litre.
Day 20- Flushed with plain phd water today, want to spray with some neem oil just to prevent any bugs before flower starts.
Day 21- Sprayed with neem oil while lights were off. Its pest season so hopefully will prevent any wanting to have a go at my plants.
Day 22- Really happy with how these girls are growing under the small 250w hps, my goal is to pull 60 grams from both plants and thats looking likely with the size of them atm. Upping a & b nutes to 1.5 ml per litre this week.
Day 29 GSC showing large amounts of preflowers now, chemdogging about 3/4 preflowers, both are much bigger than I was expecting but I have the space so thats fine. I have a 600w hps sitting around but I think im just going to stick with my 250w and see what I can do. This grow was really just to see what autos are like and im really enjoying them so far. Still 1.5 ml/L of A & B and will look to add some budburst once i see some more flowering action.
Day 35- Both of these girls are monsters and im really starting to think 600w would pay off more and more. Pretty much taking up the entire tent now and im hoping they wont stretch too much more. Both seem to be flowering well, GSC just slightly ahead in that regard.
Day 36- ladies have come along way, never did I expect 2 autoflowers to fill up my entire tent but these ladies have. Huge stems, plenty of bud sites, I can not wait to see what these girls can produce, just going to keep chugging along, doing what ive been doing, will mist likely add one more flowering agent this week. Both girls starting to get some nugs filling up at the end of their stems.
Week 8 did not go as planned, ended up dropping my new carbon filter on gsc, lost about 1/4 of her, ducting snapped about 1/8 of chemdogg too which is not ideal, problem with these ladies is they are just too hugeand have stretched too much. Next run i will be training 10 x as hard in veg! Still hoping to achieve my goal of 28 grams per plant but we will see what happens over the coming weeks.
Really happy with just over 4 oz of chemdogging, such a powerfull strain loaded with trichs. Slightly chemical smell mixed with pungent overload, buds are pretty tight considering they were only grown under a 250w hps.
Looking very nice! I'm coming close to harvesting a Chemdogging grow - amazing genetics, you won't be disappointed man. Not sure if you are planning on topping your girls? Personally, I wouldn't because they grow so well anyway. Good luck mate.
@nzbudman, Hi, mine started showing signs of flowering in week 4 but it's a gradual process. Yours looks very happy so just keep doing whatever it is you're doing and the amazing genetics will reward you handsomely!
I'm on track for my best ever grow in terms of quantity AND quality with this strain. Looking forward to seeing how you go with it. Peace.
@Hybrid,cheers bro! Your grow looks wicked, what sorta harvest are you expecting from chemdogg? Not going to top, just been lsting and am happy with her shape, when did yours go into flower? Mines day 28 and only 1/4 of the plant has preflowers..
@Denzul,thanks bro, ive learnt alot about autos and coco this run and i feel like its going to really help me become a better grower in the future, hopefully 3 more weeks and i can chop these ladies down.
Sorry to hear about the accident - shit happens in the garden! The latest pictures look nice - I would only say that it looks like you have masses of side branches and not all of them are going to produce. Better to prune off lower and weak branches and try and get a kind of sea of colas in your light footprint.
