1st Grow Ever, Coco, 6 Autos, 6 Strains

Current Feeding: FloraMicro 2ml gal FloraBloom 4ml gal SM-90 2.5ml gal Cannazym 11.1ml Gal Ful-Power 5ml gal Dry Koolbloom 0.125 tsp gal Floralicious Plus 1ml gal CaliMagic 1.6ml gal FloraNectar 5ml gal Drip Clean 0.4ml gal Bumped up cannazyme substantially per label to prepare for reuse of media. Started to see PPMs of runoff rising, started to flush. PPMs still very high and ph dropping. Plants seem to be drinking less. The calyxes are VERY noticeably swollen on a couple plants. I think these are signs so I am likely going to stick to this reduced ppm feeding and perhaps even lowering it preparing for final flush, unless I see a reason not to. I may try stopping the Cali-Magic and likely Ful-Power very soon. Still no amber, but the size of the buds is getting impressive. She is showing me the all the signs except amber trichs. Still waiting. I just realized the main stems are so fat and woody, I have no idea what kind of tool I will need to chop it. I intend to cut and dry the plant whole. Anyone have any advice, I could use it? Ok, I am ordering an 8 inch pruning saw. That should do it. 10/5/17 I don't know what to do. They are are WAY older than the breeder suggests. Tons of cloudy trichs, but not an amber to be seen, anywhere. Even after 2 weeks of Dry Koolbloom. So I am starting to decrease light by 30 mins a day, and I will be feeding the last feed tonight, then I will flush for a week and chop. I really don't see any other way. I was hoping for a bit of couchlock ans my patient prefers that, but this crop needs to be harvested. Hopefully I will see some amber by the end of flush week so I don't always wonder it I chopped too soon... I had planned to harvest them 1 aqt a time as they ripened, but that doesn't seem like it is going to happen. The good news with doing them all at once is that I can use the tent to dry them in and have a bit more control over the environment, AND I can give them 48 hours of dark if I want to. I got about a week to decide. Wish me luck, folks. Thanks Also, I keep finding HUGE buds i didn't notice bent over on the thinner stems (the huge bugs on the thicker stems are fine aside from serious lean, as noted before). This is a new one, bent right at the base of the good sized cola. Its pretty much only auto speed bud at this point, which no longer seems to be feeding. And the wild part is , with each bent bud I thought it was part of another plant altogether. I think my decision to to move into final flush is a good one, if not a bit late. I was relying on the trichs like EVERYONE online said. but this is a long time with no trace of amber, and they look bag ready. i am just confused. it is probably a beginner like me with unpredictable autoflowers. photos next time (not that i regret the autos, i just dont understand why my results are so wildly different from others) As I close out this week, and go into flush, I want to quote breeder guidelines. Not to call out the breeders, but to illustrate wildly different results under different conditions. See the comment section for more information on breeder standards (something like 1000W HPS in soil in 5 gallon pots as being the standard or something, i am not sure at all). Please compare with my results in coco under LED in 7 gallon fabric pots. 1) AUTO SPEED BUD: "These seeds are ready to harvest in 35 days in 8 - 10 weeks from germination to harvest." "FLOWERING TIME 35 days" "Auto Speed Bud is a small/medium-sized plant that grows to between 40 - 80 cm. tall " 2) AUTO CRITICAL KUSH: "Additionally it can be expected to grow into a Short plant reaching 70cm - 90cm." " Its flowering stage is a little slow to kick in but it will still be ready to harvest between 8 - 10 weeks from germination." "PLANT HEIGHT 70cm - 90cm" "FLOWERING TIME 70 - 80 days from germination" 3) AUTO SEEMANGO "FLOWERING TIME Indoors: 6-8 weeks" "Seemango Automatic is a real must for the collector looking for a connoisseur strain in just 65 days from seed." 4) AUTO KUSH: " These seeds are ready to harvest in 7-9 Weeks in 2.5 Months from Seed." "This combination of a squat Indica and a classic auto strain means that Auto Kush will stay quite short, usually not exceeding around 60cm in height." "FLOWERING TIME 7-9 Weeks" "HARVEST MONTH 2.5 Months from Seed" 5) AUTO NORTHERN LIGHTS x BIG BUD: "These seeds are ready to harvest in 45 - 55 days in 65 -- 70 days from germination." "It is ready to harvest in 65 - 70 days from germination to full maturity." "FLOWERING TIME 45 - 55 days" 6) AUTO MANGO CREAM: " It grow well indoors and outdoors, being ready to harvest in 9 weeks from its germination. "FLOWERING TIME 9 weeks" 100% percent of the above information is false... under my growing conditions. I think it is very important for the grower to understand this, and not blame the breeders, even IF they fudge the numbers by a week or 2 occasionally. I think it is quite impossible to say for certainty, the finish time unless done in exactly the same conditions, and i do mean EXACTLY. I am still trying to learn and discover, but I wanted to document the reality versus the marketing, nonetheless. Again, I am certainly not claiming the breederes did anything wrong, I just think living things have a lot of variables that make them live, and my grow seems to illustrate that fact to my own satisfaction. 👌
