**3rd Update** it’s Tuesday, 07/23, and my guys are shooting up fast! The tallest is right under 3 inches now. I watered them last night with just tap water to flush. When I get home tonight, I’ll water them and add my nutrients. Today is my first day leaving my tent in the closet all day...been in my living room while I made space. Kinda nervous. Temp was at 80 when I left for some work. I’ll come home at noon to monitor the temp. **2nd update** so, after some late night hard work and smoke sessions...I was able to get my babies situated and they are already stretching out for me. Can’t wait to see how they do. I really think Floralicious helped revive them so quickly.** **1st update** so i had some issues to where I wasn’t able to check on my seedlings like i needed to. I’ve planted them, but they were germinating 2 days beyond the original expected date. A couple grew into the napkin directly 🤦‍♂️🏾 I think we will be ok, or I’m hoping, rather. My grow light has arrived, as well as my tent and propagator. I purchased a hygrometer as well, pH kit should be here in a day. The tent was extremely easy for me to put together , and I’m pretty impressed with it. I’ve diluted my FloraGro, FloraBloom, FloraMicro in my water, and I’m growing my seedlings in a propagator first before one final transplant into a 4 gallon pot my seedlings popped. I’m at work right now, but I will update tonight or tomorrow once I plant them.

**3RD UPDATE** looks like my work pairs off a little. My babies have grown tremendously. Day 12 and I feel pretty good about how things are going **2ND UPDATE** I ordered smart plug for my outlet where my grow tent is pulling power from. I have my lights automatically turning off for 4 hours everyday from 12-4, while is still in vegatative mode **UPDATE** so, my grow is coming along fine, but I think it could be better. I’m noticing a lot of week 2s from journals of the same strain, and mine looks either a little behind or a lot behind, depending on soil/soilless. I think my light distance has a lot to play with it. I had my light relatively high, almost 2 and a half feet above my plants. I dropped it down to about about 18 inches, as low as possible, while still covering my grow area. If anyone can provide any advice or opinions, it’d be greatly appreciated. I hope this week will be a lot of growth, fingers crossed.** So, it’s officially week 2 of my grow. I’m pretty excited! I have 3 Six Shooters growing....all 3 germinated,,,2 are growing and reaching, 1 is a little behind, though I’m not too concerned about her. They all are growing their 2nd pair of leaves, and I don’t expect much activity this week, although I will still try to update daily. I had a great Saturday, wake n bake sesh...then I took some of you guys advice and went to my local hydroponics/garden store....and realized quickly how much I was spending online vs shopping local. On top of that, I got a nice 30 minute lecture from one of the staff about everything. To my surprise, they start seedlings and small plants there too, aside from basil and your other herbs, if you know what I mean. So they have everything a gardener would need! I was told to transport gradual sizes....basically....like I’m planning to use 3 gallon pots right? But, I can’t go from my seedling container to a 3 pot gallon straight like that. It’s bad for the plant and extremely risky. You’ll have to water that whole pot, but with the seedling or small plant only having so many roots, it would end up basically flooding the plant out. So you move up gradually. I’ll get back to that later. The soil I was using was extremely basic; Lowe’s soil, and vermiculite mix that I blended 2 parts to 1, respectively. It was a good enough medium to sprout my seedlings and get them started, but I knew I needed more. So the guy helping me hooked me up with a 2 cubic feet/15 gallon bag of Fox Farm Happy Frog Potting Soil. I told him I was on a site (ours) where the community is pretty interactive/helpful and how I was concerned about transplanting because of the risks...He shows me this stuff called Myko, which is a root enhancer. He then transplanted a basil seedling to a larger container. Before placing it in the pre-made hole he created, he sprinkled some Myko on the roots AND in the transplanting hole (? I might have made that term up). It promotes root growth and enhances root strength as well, which not only counters transplant shock, but pretty much puts your roots on steroids. I bought a bag of that. When it’s time for flowering, I’ll be using Strawberry Fields potting soil. I went ahead and purchased other containers as well, up to the 3 gallon fabric pots which will be the plants’ final destination. I told him my water feeding schedule, water every day, water/notes on alternating days. He was a fan of it, and suggested that I go a little further and do my days like this: FEED, FEED, WATER, and so on. I purchased Cali-Mag to make sure I have enough calcium going on. I went ahead and got a PH kit as well, to make sure my water and nute days are both within 5.5-6.5 pH. I slick felt like I was in high school science/chemistry all over again lol. I went ahead and bought coated metal flower support wires for LST. He did mention doing “supertopping”, but forgot to show me on a plant. Basically, it’s gently bending the main cola back and forth until you can have it bent in a ways to where you can maneuver it under netting/lattice to allow other cola to get equal/adequate energy and/or growth. I’m paraphrasing this shit, so by all means, correct me. I’m just hoping I can help someone else. I transplanted my plants to GroPro Square 4 x 4 x 3.5 plastic potting containers, and used the Mykos on the roots and soil. I then watered my plants with the water/CaliMag solution, and placed them under the grow lights again. I’ll add pix and vids to my entry shortly.

**Update 1** so I’ve transplanted all of my babies to their final pots, 3 gallon fabric pots. They recover really well from transplanting, they dropped a little in the process, but, after a watering and some time under the lights, she was back to her self. I’m starting to see a lot of growth on the nodes, additional bud sites. I’m wondering if I’m at a good point to start LST. Im watching a ton of videos, but still a little nervous. Some feedback would be appreciated. I’m going to increase my watering. I’ve been doing about once every 3 days. I have some other breeds in there, I hope they all get along 🙂 I’ll update my comments shortly tonight. Been busy, but don’t want to skip or miss a week. But there’s a lotta growth and I’m happy!

**UPDATE** So, I’m struggling a little with my humidity. I did just realize that my grow tent had a vent/flap on the side, secured by Velcro. I opened it up, and I hope that it helps decrease the humidity. I also installed a small box fan inside as well, as a temp fix. So, it’s week 4 for my girls, and I’m having fun. I have 3 growing, however one of them are pretty short in comparison to the others. I’ll upload her later. The plants are at 7 inches tall, and it’s additional bud sites growing all over the place. A lot of leaves. I was really on the fence about doing LST, but I’ve watched almost literally everyone’s journals for Six Shooters and a bunch of YouTube videos, and I feel confident I can do it. So I did it. 🤷‍♂️🏾 I only did one so I can compare it with the other that doesn’t have LST, and we will see how it goes. Any advice or feedback is appreciated as usual. I’ve upped my nutrients now for aggressive vegatative growth, using 5 tsp/gal of FloraMicro, FloraBloom, and FloraGro, 1 tsp/gal of CALiMAGic, and 1 tsp/gal of Floralicious Plus. I honestly think that my plants are a little behind in general in comparison to other grows of my strain at week 4 (excluding any hydros). But I also see that some start their journal diff. Some start week 1 with seeds unpopped, some from when rap root appear (me), and some do it once the first pair of leaves sprout. A bunch of variables. But if I get a yield off of them, then it’s a success for me. And I also think now that I’m getting the hang of things, my plants will take off more. The only thing I need to get down now are my watering schedules. Thanks for reading y’all.

It’s week 5! I’ve been a little distant from updating regularly, enjoying life. Lol. Anyways. My tallest Six shooter is at 14, nearly 15 inches. Her sister is around 12 inches. I gave her nothing but water and CaLiMaGic 2 days ago, I’ll feed her Nutes today. I think they are preflowering?!? I’m excited and nervous. Can someone confirm for me? I feel like they can grow/stretch some more, I’ll be reading and researching to see what I can do. The humidity is a little high. Up to 80% sometimes. But luckily I’m getting my exhaust system tomorrow so I’ll be able to keep it down. I’m ready to see some buds! Argggghhhhh! **dab** lol. Thanks everyone for your input, advice and encouragement. This is like one the best, most positive sites around. I fuck with our community. 💪🏾

Flowering is going great, just still a lotta vertical growth. I may need to buy a taller tent, I need more height for my light as well. Considering those variables, my plants are still kicking hard. I’ve increased the nutes, and I’m running 12/12 schedule right now. I’m ready for some buds

@BigHomieTreeMan, haha if you have my shit bookmarked that means you've seen all my mistakes and you can avoid them right? my neighbor just pulled out a half smoked jay i gave to her like 6 weeks ago - smoked it yesterday, now i'm feeling hungover lol decent weed this ! tasted like incense and vanilla

Looking good, sounds like you are having fun. For the watering, watch the leaves and feel the weight of your pots. That will tell you, you will get a feel for it quickly. Cheers👍

@BigHomieTreeMan, good, glad you are enjoying the experience, I do too. This fourm is great, if you ever have a question post it in your diary and I'm sure someone will help. I am very new and still learning, however, there are many others that have extensive experience. Happy growing! Cheers.

Careful with those ties bro, I used the same ones on my solocups and it seems they're just a bit sharp and can damage your plants especially the young ones
CRiSPrGrow
CRiSPrGrowcommented6 years ago
@BigHomieTreeMan, ones with thicker plastic around them, thing is with these is how the plastic has those things edges and they seem sharp or something that's where the damage gets done on the plants, stunted a bubblegum og auto for it... Damn...

U dont want to drop the light schedule for autos to 12/12 u want to keep em at full light schedule there whole life! Ur plant wont developed to it's full potential with the shortened hours! And I'd really strive to lower 5hat rh(relative humidity) upper 70's is in the zone for running major risk of PM powdery mildew and bud rot!

416firemancommented5 years ago
@BigHomieTreeMan,np man just want u to get the best out of your six shooter!!! Thought I'd give u a few pointers... meant no disrespect by it! Your buds look fine and are pretty much look to be right were they should be at just 2 weeks into flower! Buds will start to really for with structure late week3 to week 4 of flower on these girls. Patience my friend! Your looking good.

U want to go bout 20 hours light everyday for there whole life for autoflowers! There not light time sensitive for flower the flower do to age so u can continue with the same amount of light time as I vegged them with for flowering aswell. ull get a much better result! @fast_buds are always solid at 20 hrs a day!
