I have minimal experience with other nutrients. However I prefer the fox farms trio for my indoor grows, and I use general hydroponics for the outdoor. Totally personal preference!
Harvested on 09/17. Had an issue where my de-humidifier tipped over and the tent hit 102 degrees for a period of 6 hours. Totally crisped the buds after only 3 days of drying, but have recovered significantly as of today. Harvested one of the plants a tad bit too early, and the result was some much arier buds. The ones that were ready are super dense, and I’m super happy with the outcome! Genetics were great, they loved to stretch, and were very forgiving for an auto. Prone to light burn with the LEDs but easy to correct. Overall, I’d 100% grow these genetics again!
Great looking ladies you've got there. Quick question - I'm about to kick off some auto's on my next grow, can I still LST/Defoliate them without stressing? They're fem'd, but I'm a rookie and still worry about f'ing up my $60 seeds.... haha
@PurpsInMyCloset, It depends what the true wattage is of your lights. So I run a total of 5 Quantum boards LED, and give a total of about 250 watts of lighting to every 2 plants. If you have a reddit account, I would check out R/microgrowery. I try to post there frequently, and there is a ton of information about QBs. I've had some impressive yields, heat mitigation is easy, and you can source them from Alibaba. But, for your current light, see what the actual wattage is, and the foot print and base it off that!
@Cloyy perfect! I really don't like the idea of defoliating any seeds that i'm paying for, haha, but i'm willing to try anything to get some solid colas. One last question.... I got 8 seeds, thinking of doing 4 and 4. I only have a 600w "YGrow" (Amazon...) LED. Do you think that's enough for 4 plants at a time? Curious what you're running!
@PurpsInMyCloset, Thank you! LST and LIGHT defoliation are my go to. Save the defoliation until they shift to flower, and only enough to clear covered bud sites. You can top them too, but only if you have good growth by week 2/3. If it's your first time with autos then I would stick to LST, and light defoliation during flower. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions on your grow!
