Hi All, welcome to my first proper grow.
Ive got 2 autos in the Garden at the mo, but they are way stunted due to weather change here in the UK.
I have a 1.2x2 Tent at the mo with only a 300w LED (I need another one asap) but i got a little excited and popped my seeds.
I germed my seeds in the paper towel method, and within 24hrs, had an inch long tap root from the Ripleys, and a smaller one from the GG, WW popped after 36hrs.
I planted these in 15l airpots and gave them a little water. Here we are at day 2 above soil.
I think theres a little stretch at the mo, but hopefully can even them out.
Soil consists of: Guanakalong Complete Mix with added Pearlite and 1l tub of Ecothrive Charge.
I plan on using CX Regen-a-root throughout then Biobizz Grow/Bloom + Moonshine with some Terpinator at the end.
Day 9 above soil now, fed the girls 1l between them last night as they were thirsty, took 1ml of Regen-A-Root too.
Think the WW is stretching a little as its futher away from the light (need to sort my rope ratchets out..)
Going to start giving them 1/4 strength nutes next feed.
Temps pretty constant 25c at the moment with just a 6" clip on fan, will be cranking on the 5" RVK later this week i think.
Day 15 now, the ROG & GG are thirst girls. Temps are a little higher due to warmer days here, around 27c average in the tent.
Will be soon kick starting the intake/outtake fan for some better air flow.
Fed them with their first feed on day 15, quarter strength biogrow and 1ml regen-a-root, hopefully they will lap it all up!
Poor WW is miles behind, but its about 3feet from the light lol, need to lift it up somehow, or rotate the pots to even the light out.
Outdoor GG/White Dwarf are looking good - added some pics too, these are approx 7 weeks old but UK weather has slowed them...
Day 20, Theyve had another feed since with half strength nutes and Regen-a-root, will upped the dosage in a few days and begin to LST
So were into week 4 now, hooked up the 4" intake and 5" extractor fan and filter as there is a little stench kicking up now! Temps are staying at around 25c so happy with that, however humidity has dropped down to around 48% now, so put a glass of water in the tent for try and raise it a little. The girls are taking feed every 3-4 days at the moment and have showed some explosive growth the past week. The ROG is a beast, but has stretched massively, should have trained her early.
Ive noticed my GG outdoor auto has stopped taking water? Poss lockout? Soil has been soaking wet for 3 days now... any thoughts? Flush?
Into week 5 now, still no issues which im very pleased about.
Girls are happily taking everything ive thrown at them, might slightly up the nutes next feed to see if i find a sweet spot.
Pungent smell coming as soon as the tent is opened, 4" intake and 5" rvk doing the job with airflow and the Rhino filter defo works!
Definitely need another light - looking into DIY COBS ;)
Well, what can i say, we enter another week, plants are still loving the schedule, im only feeding them 2l every 2 days for all 3 plants, i didnt want to change this as everything is going smoothly.
I upped the Terpinator dosage to the recommended, from what i understand its only snake oil so shouldnt be an issue.
The smell is something else now once that tent opens, the 5" Rhino Pro does the job for the external smell though!
I hope that ROG cola starts to fill out, as it looks so beautiful!
Entered week 7 now, i feel like with more light i could have had much better results- but im chuffed to have achieved what i have by stuffing these 3 under 1 Mars 300w panel.
Reduced the PK boost and increased Bloom slightly - still feeding 2l water between 3 plants every 2 days which they seem to enjoy.
Still no issues apart from a minor bit of burn due to a unattended growth spurt lol.
Beginning to order my COBs for my 12 COB build :)
Chopped my outdoor GG which is now about 13 weeks old, english weather slowed her right down after July, and temps dropped quite a bit so i started flushing around 12 days ago.
Chopped and hung her in a cardboard box - expecting nothing, anything is a bonus!
End of week 7 update - I feel like the plants are holding Nitrogen due to the dark green leaves so have cut the BioGrow down but they are really enjoying theyre time in the tent.
Its a shame that the GG is about a foot shorter than the rest as i feel shes lacking the full potential of the light - but hey ho, its my first time! Plan is to run 6 Photos next run, scrogged :)
Ive began ordering my COB bits for the next run.
In week 8 now, WW and ROG are still filling out nicely and taking same feeding as previous.
Noticed my GG has started to do the same as my outdoot one did, and slow up in taking water? Im assuming this is because she is ripening up? Ive started to flush, probably a few days later than i should have, but wanted to push her as much as possible.
Just started week 9, the GG has started her flush with 6.5 PH'd tap water and will flush her for 2 weeks - the buds are sooo frosty and look amazing just a shame about the yield - what i expected with 3 plants under 1 300w Mars lol.
Ripleys OG and White Widow are still florishing, the widow is still growing nicely and buds are starting to fill out. Im going to begin flushing these 2 girls next week.
All in all so far such a simple grow, no issues with any plants at all so happy days!
This was the smallest of my 3 plants, the GG seemed to do exactly the same as my outdoor one in the final weeks and take on less water than normal. Im assuming this was some form of salt build up, but even when flushing she was slow.
Yield was low, but she is frosty as fuck!
What a beauty! My favourite of the 3, came out really dense considering 3 plants under 1 300W Mars, highest yielder too! She smells lemony citrus/gassy OG and cant wait to test her!
@Bones_1986, Ive been adding pk boost since week 2 of flower and will continue to until flush, the bottle suggests higher dosages of 2ml per litre but ive been using it at 1ml per litre
@Bones_1986, Hi mate, No same nute feed every time once pots are dry - normally 2 days, PH'd down to 6.5, they seem to be enjoying it so didnt want to deviate too much. I havent need to add any Cal Mag so far, although heard autos normally need extra in flowering.
@Mr_Matics, There still running mate, UK Temps caused my GG to go purple, theres just not enough light here atm, the White Dwarf is good though, flushing them both but the GG wont take any water on? Pot stays soaking? Root rot possibly? It was all a learning curve anyway 😜
@BigDaddyK, Yeah, still a bit far away if i do that lol, 2m tent, need to sort out my rope ratchets for my light to be honest! Will stick a couple breezeblocks under them for now...that WW needs some love!
@BigDaddyK, Yeah mate thats the plan, got a 2m high tent lol.
Got them on normal chairs atm, but they still need raising about 5" id say, gonna get some breezeblocks :)
@BigDaddyK, Yeah, the outdoor one is pungent to say the least ;) hopefully we get a bit more sun and give them a good boost, still feeding them grow/bloom/moonshine and root atm, gonna start flushing in a week or 2.
@UKAutos, I had a sweet tooth and some ak47s , sweet tooth has come down now 74days old and drying , ak47s are about 60days old but with this weather it's a slow process. Yeah don't bring them in not worth risking it mate. Newspapers saying heatwave on its Way so fingers crossed for next week 🙈
@Mr_Matics,
Cheers Fella, yeah im really excited for the Meph Genetics, heard great things.
Ive got a GG just started flowering outside, but this weather has stunted it, no major growth but some stench! Was gonna stick them in the tent, but didnt want to contaminate.
What you running outdoors mate?
@PharmaZ, Cheers bro, started flushing the GG, will give her 2 week flush.
Ill start the ROG in about 10 days i think, im sure theyre is more growth to come :)
