Round 4- The Auto Experiment

Kaboose13 Going to try our hand at a round of Autos. Might switch one tent to just Autos if this goes well. Jan 29th: Started germination. Feb 4th: Transplanted seedlings from humidity dome to 2 gallon pots.

Kaboose13 First full week in a real pot for the Autos. Also this was the first week of feeding. Did 25% of week 1. All 3 seem to be doing well. Nothing out of the ordinary. Might try topping one this time.

Kaboose13 The Autos got their first full feed of nutrients this week. They all seem to be doing well. The LSD-25 is getting a bit lanky, but I don't think we are in any trouble with it. Probably going to start LST on it tomorrow. The other 2 are staying a bit shorter. Probably won't LST them until the end of next week.

Kaboose13 The plants are starting to get some legs this week. Started to bump up the feedings. They seem to be taking it well. I trained the LSD-25 to grow sideways. Going to leave the other two alone, I think.

Kaboose13 Interesting week for the Autos. Good chunk of growth across the board. Had to start twisting the LSD-25 around to keep an even canopy. The other two are still all natural. The LSD-25 has shot ahead, it is the fastest finishing. Its on the same nutes just with a 1/8tsp/gal koolbloom and floranectar.

Kaboose13 Another week down for the Autos. The LSD-25 is charging ahead in to flower. As the other two are just starting to show a good bit of pistils. Probably going to be on flower feedings across the board for next week.

Kaboose13 All the plants are officially in flower. The Critical Orange has just exploded over the last little while. Turned in to a nice looking plant for an auto. The Silver Bullet is following the same path. I think my treatment of the LSD-25 kind of stunted it. But its still going, and getting overtaken by the other two.

Kaboose13 The Critical Orange Punch has kicked it in to overdrive this week. Thinking I'll have to move it to the bigger tent. The Silver Bullet is just chugging along looking good. Not to sure what happened to the LSD-25. Maybe my training was to much. Regardless its going to make it to harvest.

Kaboose13 Took a bit to update got side tracked with the joys of harvest.the big girls are chugging along in flower, while the little LSD-25 is just finishing up. Probably going to give the LSD-25 one more week of feed, then flush. The other 2 its business as usual.

Kaboose13 The LSD-25 is finishing up nicely, just starting the flush of it today. The other two took a turn this week. They are on the same feed schedule, so I think it's a formula problem. I'm leaning towards a K deficiency, going to up the amount of florabloom. Any insight is welcome.

Kaboose13 Probably the last day before chop for the LSD-25. Finished up well if a tad small. Not to sure what happened to the other two, could have been the move to the 2x4 or a feeding issue. It doesn't seem to be getting worse, but the silver bullet still has a droop and the Critical Orange is a tad crispy.

Kaboose13 Girls are finishing up, not looking the greatest, but they made it. Have a few foxtails on the Critical Orange, but I think thats from switching to 24hrs under the bigger light. I think I could have overfed them. Regardless they are near the end and smelling nice.

Kaboose13 Not to sure how i feel about this one. Went some of the craziest purple I have ever seen, but didn't yield much at all. Could have been my doing, I think a smaller pot and some more light would have helped.

Kaboose13 Another week closer for the last two girls. The silver bullet is finishing up nice considering the issues I've had with these 2. The Critical Orange on the other hand is just throwing foxtails like mad now. Still chugging along tho. Going to start flushing these two girls this evening.

Kaboose13 Girls just finished flush, probably going to chop them tomorrow. Still not sure how I feel about autos, after this last round. I didn't baby them by any means, so there is room for improvement there. Maybe I'm just not the auto type. All in all, I can't complain about the results, but I can hope for more. Really thinking, I may have overfed them later in flower. But hey, lessons learned.

Kaboose13 Probably one of the better Autos I have had. Has some nice looking bud, but ran in to the same issue as the rest of the autos. Maybe I just need to dial my system in. Time will tell.

Kaboose13 Yet another Auto, I think still had a lot to give. Not to sure if it's me. Anyways this one had tons of foxtails, definitely hindered the bud density quite a bit. Overall it was still a decent haul, but again with Autos I'm left wanting more.
