Growing is good, since I am dealing with multiple plants! I want to save as much as possible
Tropicana -
Can you please provide feedback about my current grow? I want to improve and collect as much data as possible and get involved with the community. Help me to save this ladies.. All feedback and help will be appreciated. I am working hard to produce the best medicine.
Here's some tips:
1) I see that your grow media is "soil" and you have cal-mag listed as one of your nutrients. Hopefully at this young seedling stage, you have not used it yet. Hold onto it for now. You may very well need it later once you start flowering. Too often, a grower will reach for cal-mag during the vegetative cycle of plant growth where what they really need is a boost of magnesium. (This is especially true under LED lights) Many people will ask what's wrong with using cal-mag since it contains magnesium? The problem with it is calcium in excess causes lock-out, especially of magnesium. There's a very easy and cost effective way around this .... use unscented epsom salts at 1 teaspoon per gallon of feed during veg. Then once in flower, switch to cal-mag if needed.
2) Soil pH should be between 6.0-7.0 with 6.5 being the sweet spot. Both lower and higher out of range pH will make certain nutrients unavailable for plant uptake. This is critical since once your plants are planted in it, it's hard to correct. I use either Roots Organic "Original" potting soil mix or Fox Farm's "Ocean Forrest" because they are easy to find at a decent price in my area. What's most important when choosing your mix is that it starts in the right pH range. Most top brands of mixes designed for cannabis will be in this pH range out of the bag.
3) Don't over-look environmental controls ... daytime and night time temps/humidity control are essential if you want to consistently produce high grade cannabis. I like the UIS system from AC Infinity ... once you get through the learning curve on the app set-up, it makes managing the environment pretty simple.
Plants look gorgeous
CBD honey Peach is boosting after first feeding, end of first week of veg.
8 tropicanas started their veg stage.
BAC + root juice, 0.5 ml of each per 2 litres - tea to improve roots
Feeding for veggies - Delta 8 , 0,5ml, biogrow 0,5, Calmag 0.025, Silica 0,5 per 2 litres
Both feedings are at 350, 0.6 EC and plants a being slowly feed with a couple of 10 mil Pipetes every now and them.
Finally, after 7 weeks I was able to stabilise +1000 ppm with a technical that I call semi closed loop. For more info please checke my previous post. Light was raised 650ppfd and they are loving it.
if anyone wishes to donate a ufo led 200, this plants will love it lololol joke
I have some new projects coming down the road! Stay safe guys!
1 auto cbd honey peach ( end first week veggie)
f1 Tropicana poison (30 seeds)
8 stretching at Earle veg
12 plants are entering on veg station
10 plants recovering from the high humity
hope you enjoy the visuals.
Younger seedlings are getting bigger and started to take advantage of the lights.
Sick plants are now thriving for life. Maybe the phenohunting is not being only about the beauty, but the resilience this plants are showing after a shocking week with 98 per cent humidity due to the dome. Plants are showing an amazing recover speed day after day! God bless our beloved medicine. Strong and resilient! Praises to Jah and Shiva :)
Girls are hungry,.the sog lookings promising. 8 plants to be transplanted. Plants did not even fell any stress from the transplanting. Plants are taking 800 ppfd and look happy. So lovely process veg is a beatifull part of the cycle.
Girls decided to stretch under higher temps and lower ,eh, 22c morning 70rh
Afternoon 25-35c,. Rh 68 - 64
Night 19c rh69
6 plants showing signs of aberrations, leaves and stems were.fimmed hoping for new stems.
Happy days! Grow is going High! Updated calendar after the first runoff with 600 PPM, plants are absorbing loads of nuts

My objective is to grow autos and photoperiods together! This is why I wrote audacious to do this as newbie :) thanks to the feedbacks.
Answer: I've done this. Most autos take roughly 90 - 120 days to go from seed to harvest. Photoperiod plants tend to take 4-8weeks longer to get to harvest due to the length of time the grower decides to veg his/her plants. By the time you're flipping to 12/12 the autos have typically set in size and are beginning to fill out. The 12/12 light cycle will reduce the yield from autos some-what. How much depends on where they were at in maturity before you flipped to 12/12. There's only 2 potential benefits to growing autos with your photos. 1) You'll have some fresh flower to harvest before your photos finish. 2) Harvesting the autos opens up light and space for the photos to grow and mature.
However
My opinion is the best use of autoflower seeds is for growing outdoors in a northern climate where photos struggle to finish. If you start an auto in May, they will almost always be finished and ready to harvest before you roll into September and the colder dew filled nights cause havoc in your outdoor photoperiod crop.
In my opinion, sea of green (sog) works best with freshly rooted clones. You can pack them close together and can begin flowering them almost as soon as they're transplanted from the cloner. Autoflowers don't clone well and typically people don't top them. This is due to their internal clock counting down to maturity as opposed to photoperiods being controlled by the light cycle.
My wish my friend was to SOG autos. but I've made the huge mistake of buying Canna pro mix. I had 17 auto seeds, but, this soil is awful here, and it killed all my seeds. I was destroyed... Just this auto has survived. I kind soul offered me this F1 feminized seeds, because I was totally broken, now I am trying my best to make some medicine😍
I often do an auto with photoperiod just for an earlier harvest. Its organic food in soil so you must leave your water to stand for at least 24hrs as the chlorine kills the microbes which make the food available to the plant.Look up compost tea and the soil food web.Ecothrives Biosys is a great instant tea which you don't need to brew.As most tea is airated.Iv been making tea for several years myself.You also need some humic acid which is in Biobizz Top Max which makes the elements more avalable.I use Advanced Nutrients myself which are the best on the market,I recommend using them if money isn't an issue.I do use offer stimulants from House and Garden like Amino Treatment.I would also recommend seaweed/kelp which will certainky be in you root juice as its in all root boosters but you can give them it untill the 3rd week of flower.Its the main ingrediants in cannas flower Boost.Keep your temps up.Get those seedlings off the floor.A few layers of cardboardwill do.Light spectrum has a huge effect on plant morphology.LEDs aren;t made for seedlings,they aren't that good for veg.The reds encourage stretching and blue keep them short and stocky which is why all seedling lights are cool white.I always use CFLs with my seedlings.Strip lights and bulbs and a blue led strip.The blue keeps your internodes short,more internodes more bud sites.Iv got one of my older HID Lamps plugged in with a metal halide bulb which gives off a blue to stop my plants from stretching before I put them into flower as they've got too big.Iv already chopped 1 ft off the tops.Keep the temps up 24c is best.Once out of the seedling stage let let your substrate dry between watering to the point of mthe top layer being dry.The plant in the picture is very pale and clearly lacking nutrition.Its needs half strength food.Is the soil prefertalized?If so it wont need any nutrition.The root juice is fine as its just a stimulant and not nutrition.
Thanks brother, I am leaving the filtered water in opened gallon inside the tent,.so I can use the tent efficiency to declorinate the water, and feed then at the same temp. Gimme your thoughts .and check the veg, they seem to be liking the improved air circulation and the intake fan, increasing the CO2 and O2 circulation in the tent. I will be happy to hear your thoughs
Thanks for the tips my friend, I am following the same using the white great Shark, which is similar to Eco thrive. Also, I have the hole line that you mentioned and will follow as you recommended
It helped the seedlings aftected by the domes heal faster. Now I am going to insert a fan as AC to improve the CO2 and O2 inside the tent. What do think?
