Whats up GrowDiaries! First grow here, very excited to get going! Setup: + 5 Royal Gorillas Automatic + 5 three gallon fabric air pots + 4by4by79 grow tent + 315W CMH + Coco + Germination Kit w/ Rapid Rooters Plugs + Seedling Heat Mat + 6in fanx2 & 16in adjustable stand fan & 6in exhaust fan + GH Flora Trio/ Supplements + Air pump/ air stone + RH controller + Heat controller + Water Distiller Germination: Setting up the R.R. plugs I actually added a tiny bit of CalMag (8th tsp/G) to 150ppm tap water for the bottom of the tray. Planted 1-23-20. Used a CFL bulb for light. 5 out of 5 germinated on the 3rd day. The first sprout came up day 2. Day 3 from planting while misting I noticed the tap root coming out the bottom of all the seeds so I decided to just put them into 3 gallon pots the next day. I think I planted the seeds a little too deep into the plugs. My coco mix had completely dried up but it was saturated with CalMag. Without flushing, I watered around the seed only in their new giant pots. I turned on my HID at 34 inches above the seedlings. Post Transplant: Day 5 from planting I just used a hand sprayer to keep the top inch or so of the soil saturated, allowing the water to wick to the middle. The water was PH set wth CalMag at 205ppm. Day 6 I finally flushed the soil, pouring around the seedling. It was watered with 5ml CalMag, 1.25 ml Flora micro, .6ml gro, and .6ml bloom, diluted to 205 PPM and 6.1 PH. The runoff was very hot at ~1500 ppm. Day 7 I added in another big fan which the trees loved! Day 8 the top soil had already started to dry out. They were watered with .5ml Armor Si, 5ml CagMag, 2.25ml micro, 2.25ml gro, .6ml bloom, and 5ml diamond nectar at 550 ppm and 6.1 PH. Had 25% runoff at about 1300 ppm. 200 less then last time so the plants probably got what they needed. Aside from watering the R.R.s with tap water, I decided to use distilled water for the remainder of the grow.

Hello! Does anyone have any ideas for how to space the trees under the light to be the most uniform when they get bigger? What kind of training would be best? What if they never stop doubling in size?? Should I PH balance every watering (goes up a little) Hope you enjoy the grow!

Hey friend, So first i think with autos i would be careful with extreme training like topping super cropping or manifolding, unless the plant is performing beyond perfect. Your plants young enough to start making a perfectly even canopy through LST and defoliation (I'm a big supporter of cleaning up the bottoms of popcorn bud sites and drains on the plant) An auto will still stay relatively small especially with good, consistent lst. I'm sure it will double but perhaps look at other diaries of this strain to get an idea of the end sizes. I would ph often if not always..you can check the ph of the runoff and hope its stays consistent, but like the old saying says " an ounce of prevention is worth a pound full of cure." The better the ph stays, the happier the plant and the more available nutrients and less waste or problems to be fixed. Good luck with the training choices and happy growing ✌️

Should I transplant them to bigger containers or will they be fine in the 3 GAL pots?
