I've been slacking on posting. Been busy with my photoperiod grow and the Chiefs playoff run. Last pics i took were Dec 30th way back on the last day of week 6. Today is Thursday Jan 16th, technically the 3rd day of week 9 but I'm making a post for week 8 now with pics i took yesterday. I gave them mid-bloom nutes and defoliated yesterday. There were lots of yellow leaves. Haven't shown them the attention i did my first Auto grow. Hoping they net me a QP of dried buds from the 8 plants. I added 2 HLG 65's at the beginning of week 8 and am hoping this boosts yield and fattens the buds up over this last month. I'll prolly give one more, maybe 2 more rounds of late bloom nutes before i begin the flush in a couple weeks. I think LST is the way to go in my future grows because I'm not impressed with the plants size compared to my first grow when i did the LST. I think the combo of that plus the 2 additional lights i just got will produce the oz per plant goal i have. Think the only different thing I'm going to do next grow is use the fox farms stuff everybody touts in half my grow bags and the compost ive used so far in the other half to compare any difference.

KCMOR8RH8Rstarted grow question 4 years ago
3 days after I gave the auto-flowers their first nutes my best looking plants leaves are all curling downwards around all the leaf edges, making them look super thin. Can be seen in the 2nd pic of Blueberry Kush #2 above
Solved
Leaves. Curl down

Looks like too much water, maybe excess nutes,possibly the beginning of root rot, get some mycorrhiza in the soil to help combat it.. rootshield or piranah from advanced nutes. Let it dry out a bit before you water again.. hope this helps..

@TessaMaria, I'm actually using straight compost from my local zoo (KC). I get it for $25 a truck load. Works awesome in my garden outside, my pepper plants grow over 6 feet tall with it! With this grow i bought a 30 lb bag of clay pellets to mix in with it for drainage. Does the same thing perlite does essentially

@raptor65, thanks! I'm going to do a few things with this grow to see the differences they have in quality and yield. Excited to see what happens over the next 10 weeks or so

Have you grown any of these strains before? The reason I ask is your comments week 1 regarding a feeding schedule. I've found that any feeding schedule is like a good war plan, everything changes when the roots hit the dirt lol.

@KCMOR8RH8R, FFoF is pretty nice, and In my opinion worth the price. Most prefer to cut it with all sorts of things, but my first grow ever and first on GD was with straight FFoF from seed to harvest.

@TheMachinist, thanks! I have done all my grows so far including this one with straight compost from my local zoo (added a bit of clay pellets to the top few inches this time). It's what i use in my outside garden and has great results with the vegs. But next grow I'm also going to try the fox farms stuff in some of the grow bags instead of compost to see the difference there. Feel like there are so many variables with growing this stuff and the more i can experiment the better I'll get at it as i go along

@KCMOR8RH8R, I hear ya on trying to boost the indoor once you've done outdoor haha. I don't even measure my nutrients other than by the capfull, but starting with FFoF (fox farm ocean forest) an amended soil I don't add anything till week 5 or 6. I'm on my first autoflower grow right now haven't done any training or trimming. I've had pretty good luck and results from just letting the tent go jungle wild 😎. I clean up dead leaves and up the feed when they start showing they need it. I like your plan to have a test group, that way you can actually get tangible results.

@Doktorholland, do you think foliar of calmag right before lights off would do the trick every day for a week or so?
