RQS - Autoflower grow - Super Soil

Jcoutdoor Autos Started Sprouting very quickly Dates Range From 10/9 - 10/13

Jcoutdoor Autos all popped and I started to increase water a bit, each time I water I expand my circle to encourage roots to follow. Dates range from 10/15 - 10/22

Jcoutdoor This is the week they start to look like plants, excited to see whats to come going forward. Added a small dose of silica (before yucca!) and bumped up the ph to 6. !!! switched out old outdated mars hydro lights for a Optic 650s Slim with variable spectrum control!!! Dates range from 10/23 - current

Jcoutdoor The autos stems are really thickening up this week and have started to really expand the leaf size. probably good to note that 3 of the dosi-do autos are as wide as the 5 gallon fabric pots now and only on the 3rd set of leaf's. the Goat'lato has the most impressive starter leaf ive seen in a while also just being so wide and ridged. I added a 1500 watt ceramic heater to the grow room since temps are decreasing every night here in the pnw. the plants have seemed to really respond well and started drinking faster. on 10/30 i gave them a small dose of fish & kelp ph'ed to 6.0 I am adding a picture of the soil recipe i am using for these autos as i would like to openly share any knowledge i'm able to. feel free to use it as is or tweak it any way you see fit. so far its been an amazing start but only time will tell how it does throughout flower. i do plan on top dressing with gaia green bloom feed around week 2 of flower also. dates range 10/24 - 10/31

Jcoutdoor Plants are starting to take off finally, they have some of the thickest stems I have seen on seeds. I'm not sure if this is just what autos do or if they really like my soil blend. I started light LST on a few of them just bending the main top down and tucking some leaf's. I don't think I'm going to top these autos and rather am going to try a natural grow with them to get a feel of there life cycles. the next batch I have started I might try more things on. coming from growing photos for the last 10 years to autos is a bit different and I'm trying to take the extreme less is more approach until I fully understand what exactly is happening with these type of plants. Every couple days these plants seem to really increase in girth and overall size curious to see what happens with the strech phase Dates Range 11/1 - 11/8

Jcoutdoor Wow the autos are taking off now that temps are stable. still fully in veg no signs of hairs yet but everyday they are growing new leaf's. will update next week with a hopeful big boost to the plants

Jcoutdoor this week was a struggle, i had to readjust the room and run some different ducting for my fresh air intake. once i did that and fixed my heating issue stuff started to turn around quickly. i did some lst training and lowered the light down about a foot, increased it to 60% and turn my red up to 60% and blue to 80%

Jcoutdoor This week the plants started throwing pistols and switching into pre flower mode. I decided to pin most the rest of the plants out after seeing how well the first one responded and ill say it was a success. these autos are odd , coming from growing photo periods for the last 10 years these are so odd. I'm having a lot of fun with them for sure and will be running at least a few more cycles of autos after these to understand them better. the thing I'm confused about is how come my plants vegged so long? I was under the assumption that they kind of speed through the veg phase, what I witnessed was a normal veg phase and flower switch without having to change the lights is all , only time will tell how the stretch phase goes but I'm defiantly on the edge of my seat as they would say.

Jcoutdoor didnt get to many chances to take pictures during this week. I changed my air intake and it seemed to help the rooms night temps. also bumped the heater up to try and get my dry downs happening quicker and it did work the plants started drinking water every 2 days instead of 3-4

Jcoutdoor December was a very busy month for me and my family but I was able to take a couple pictures as they progressed into flower. I am aware these autos are taking longer than normal and I'm thinking it was caused by my room temps. the next round of plants are explosive in growth since they have been raised up with the heat and air functioning correctly. I am still nursing this round of plants to finish and am extremely happy with the terps that they are throwing down. royal queen is a company I will for sure try again. i also added Gaia green power bloom as a top dressings right at the start of pistils showing. my next round consists of 420fastbuds , seedsman, and speed run seeds.

Jcoutdoor The plants are really starting to show there colors and smells are appearing everyday that were not present before. everything is stacking very tight buds some bigger than others but overall there is a good amount of flower sites per plant. 1 dosido is very stunted but still looks like it'll pump out some big juicy buds. the goatlatos are defiantly going to be the last to be finished however they look like they will have the most crystals. northern lights (the freebie!) is by far my favorite plants in this round. the smells they pump out remind me of high school smoking and the quality of bud they are putting out is to nice not to keep around so I ended up taking my favorite plant home and putting a small tent in my garage. i actually have been able to reverse it with sts and collected pollen from it the other day , i also crossed it with a few other autos i had at home so I'm very excited to see how that turns out. i put 5 other autos starting flower in the tent with it and let it openly pollinate them. I'm not sure how but i had the extra plants and they were at the perfect time to get knocked up haha
