Hello everyone, reporting to you as of day 24 / 25 as of my count and seeing as 2 of the girls are doing so well, were on a somewhat scattered watering cycle as the 2 larger ones are demanding way more Litres than the others. Massive growth on the @Dutchpasion Auto Critical Orange punch and Auto Glueberry OG, 2 of the larger plants. The 2 smaller plants have put on growth since the last photos that I posted, I am noticing changes so we haven't completely stunted them, but possibly some mistakes / things I didnt do (like Cal Mag) that might have helped.The Sour diesel from @Dinafem is the smallest of the bunch but dont you worry little Runt, Sour diesel is one of my favourite strains so if you only grow a little I'll still be happy too smoke you. Also possible chance that my roots were somewhat cold so adding a greenhouse heater this weak has really improved my temps holding steady and I've noticed much more growth since this. Any advice is welcomed. Raising water temp when feeding seems too have done alot too, not shocking the roots everytime I water them. Much more efficient now. Really enjoying this again, 50 odd days and counting, less than 2 months now!
Nice looking ladies, good selection and a healthy look start. Always better to grow your own, i live in the uk and the street weed is pretty poor quality, u never know what strain your getting and what the growers do with it. I gave up buying it years ago and decided to grow my own as organically as possible, the pleasure of this alone enhances the experience. My golden rule is... No Sell, No Smell, No Tell...keeps you off the radar until prohibition ends. gl with ur ladies bro ๐
@MicrowGrow420, Thanks alot dude I also live in the UK - I get good smoke down my way but I'm also more about growing my own so I know what's in it and so I can smoke the strains I want too try! Keep in contact dude I'll follow you're diary!
I've noticed you removed the sucker (water) leaves from below each node. Does this aid in plant growth in height? Ive wondered if i should be doing this but felt like i would be taking away too much of the plants photosynthetic potential if i did. But seeing your growth rate I'm wondering if that's what I'm missing because mine bushed out from the LST but never really grew vertically like yours. Well done! It's either got to be that or the nutes you're using, or a combo of both.
@KCMOR8RH8R, The time before when I grew Autos, the first 2 I didnt butcher cos they were my babies, the 2nd two I trimmed and chopped and pulled leaves off everywhere .. then they go even more mad than what they did before. My feeding schedule for the big big plants is every 2 days, giving them 4ls of water between 2, also, every feed I have done I've given bio bizz bio grow. Only at the start did they have clean water feedings! Thanks for you're kind words bro
@NewbieDoobies, No bullshit I haven't even trained them, all I've done is spin the pots every couple of days too even out the canopy growth and its kept my whole canopy very even. I dont like tiring plants down when they could go crazy!
Best of luck with the grow buddy ๐
I hope our Auto Sour Diesel grows well and produces some fine end product ๐ค
Let's see what you can do ๐
All the best โ๏ธ

@Bashgrowsitall1989, By the look of things our Auto Sour Diesel is now entering bloom ๐ค
Let the flowering fun begin ๐
Keep the updates coming mate ๐ค

@DinafemSeeds,
Hi Mark, it's my first time back too it in a while, this time round I'm sure thier will be some teething problems, but the Auto SD is doing ok, I'm waiting for the vegetative explosion from it atm as I'm on day 24 and it's the smallest one in the tent, but I'm not worried as I think it's more my own error , I've realised what I've done wrong / not done.

@Cheezy_G, 100% my man! Last day of so I've got a fair bit of swelling but I think thiers about 2 or 3 weeks left so hopefully they will swell massively now
@Cheezy_G, Ok cool thanks alot my man! I'm definitely going too get myself a mini microscope or eye scope for jewelry too harvest from the trichs telling me, but I hope they swell man! Yeah the seeds give a rough guide I agree and that's at optimal conditions - we dont know what lights they have used and what substrate they also used, Litre size of pot and many factors, so growing it how you can too you're ability snd environment is the most important thing I feel!
Hey there my friend!
Your grows are really comming along nice! The frost is building up beautifully aswell as the buds are perking up in weight. The COP is looking like its missing either calcium og magnesium. My guess would be calcium but looking at the time of its life cycle and your plans for harvesting, im saying just ride it out and let it finish as it is.
Happy growing, good luck on these last couple of weeks and have a wonderful day whenever you are reading this.โ๏ธ
@@GreenHeart420, Thanks man I appreciate the advise, I'm just riding it out atm, I also think my light isnt the 600 or 1000w I thought it was and is more likely a 400w. This has all been an experiment for the first try
Lookn gud brother congrats. I bet the glueberry yields nicely for ya. Dam the colas on that bitch are huge lol. I got a few autos going myself in some hibrix organic super soil and then a few more im doing as a breeding project to get more seeds an not lose some auto strains i got. But those are in normal promix using synthetic nutes. Even still they made some nice buds even tho i reversed the bottom 4 branches using sts for fem pollen. An i didnt top them either but they still made one nice cola an some nice side buds. So not bad imo atleast alil bit of nice buds and some pollen. But once im done breeding they will really be put to the test lol. Normally i top my autos and do way bigger pots. Shit even in 3gallon pots now they made some nice buds so i cant wait to see them in 10 gallon pots from the start lol. So do u start ur autos in there final pots right from the start? Or do u start them in small pots an uppot them as u go?
@Bashgrowsitall1989,
Ive thought of tht exact method wen i used to grow hempy style i always wondered how it would with autos an not stunting them lol. Well shit now im really excited to see wen u do tht run lol gud luck bro.
@FrostyBlaze420, I started these ones off in thier final pots as that is what I have always done, I've come up with a prototype method that I will eventually use on one of my next runs which will be having them in smaller pots as in Litres but the depth of the pot will be the same depth as the final pot so no stress on that tape root is caused - therefore I'm hoping no stunting of growth on top. I'll keep you posted
Your week comment got me thinking that maybe my grow needs some heat added to it. My tent and my room under the stairs are both in my basement so temps run between 65-74ยฐ, do you think adding a space heater to the room outside so the passive air intakes would help my plant growth like yours?
@Bashgrowsitall1989, thanks I'll def ask when I'm not sure about something. Yeah i don't worry as much about ph as others. My tap water is really high alkaline, comes out at 8.3. I ph down it to 6.0 and the runoff is still reading at 7.5. My plants don't seem to mind either. Other than the nute burn i experienced from nuting them back in wks 2-3 they're doing great now in week 6. But little tweaks here and there like temp control and how im watering ect all helps the end process. Ive been growing vegetables for a decade now and perfected that. That's simple. But now that I'm diving into Cannabis it's opened a whole new complexity to gardening with all the variables. I'm loving learning it and perfecting it while being able to grow my own smoke!
@KCMOR8RH8R, Yes I would, hearing the air that's on the intake is the best way to do it, my green house heater is in the tent under the pots helping keep the roots warm too, No one likes cold feet ey! (quoted from a fellow grower) The more you get that climate too what they want the more they thrive. PH of water with soil really isnt as important as people might think, I've got 3 plants running all doing well and run off is 7.2 after feeding with nute, 6.6 with just water. Message me anytime you need some help bro! I've not got many grows under my belt, but I have alot of knowledge from all the research I've done. Enjoy you're plants my man!
Damn i haven't checked in in a few weeks and your plants have exploded in growth! Those colas are gonna be huge! I think I'm gonna let my autos go and do less LST this next go around so they have a chance to grow more vertically like yours. I didn't realize i only really had 5-6 weeks of real veg growth until they were pretty much done and by the time i was done tying them down they never got a chance to reach up like yours. Those are impressive man! Leaving the autos alone and turning the pots every few days looks like a hell of a strategy to me
@KCMOR8RH8R, Ah thanks so much man! I definitely recommend final pot, no lst and just rotating you're plants every couple of days too even out that canopy. The Glueberry OG is 80cm, I'm very impressed with its vertical growth. I've really enjoyed the little journey with these ladies. it's been great.
Happy growing
Bash
@KCMOR8RH8R, Yeah I'm pretty happy with the rate of growth now, they're going into thier pre flower stretch stage so I'm sticking with veg nutes till week 6 or 7 then going too bloom!
The SD is just different genetics I think thatโs all. It maybe a little smaller buds overall but there are quite a few budsites
I think it will take a little longer and be well worth growing. Good SD is nice to smoke
