This week I added a second King Pro 1500 LED light and am running it with both switches. It has an actual draw of ~260 W and each light now sits directly above a row of plants. I really want to maximize light coverage and get everything I can out of these seeds!
Amnesia X didn't really get taller this week but she's certainly thiccening.
Pineapple AK has nicely recovered from me SNAPPING HER FRIGGIN HEAD OFF so that's good.
Lemon Drop still the biggest and heartiest plant, but
White Widow looks like she's finding her stride in flowering right now.
Under the blurples, the new growth looks pretty yellow but under white light it's much less visible. Lemon Drop is showing some real purpling on her petioles though. There's also been a couple teeny spots that look like calmag deficiency but overall I think these AN nootz are giving the plants what they crave.
I am pretty sure I was bigtime under-watering... been checking out Dr. MJ Coco and his work tells me to step my fertigation game up, so I'm gonna do that - I have vacillated between over-watering and under-watering but it sounds like with Coco and Smart Pots the biggest risk with overwatering is wasting $$ on plant food so to quote the canadian philosopher Drake, "we go'n see"
Onward to week 7!

Grow Questions
capncrunchstarted grow question 4 years ago
Has anyone ever heard of Dark Empire Seeds? The seed vendor I purchased from says they've been working with DES, who are based in Spain but... I can't find a peep about them anywhere. Are these gonna be mutie autoflower weirdlings?

doesn't look mutated. light burn doesn't typically start that way, and that young would have fallen over at same time, probably. wilt at least accomanying the light burn that expands rapidly.
think the other is self-inflicted, even if treated the same as the other plants. this one is going to be more sensitive, at least early on. Always let the plant dictate. if one is different, that's the way it goes when you grow a variety of genetics.
it doesn't mean they are bad, if they are unknown. if i had to wager on the chances being better or worse, well, that's different... but don't jump the gun.. at this point they could be the best buds ever too... lol.

What concentration of nutes should these girls get? I hear autoflowers take less, but idk why or if true.
I'm using AN PH Perfect Sensi Coco Grow A&B and have Bloom A&B as well. How soon should I start feeding bloom? What concentration?

you are in coco, so probably less pronounced. they just grow faster and eat less, it seems.
i would start as you normally do, but any hint of darkness, give a pH-only irrigation and it'll dilute back down no problem.
i don't know what kinda ppms that system puts out.. but as long as it's fairly normal, you shouldn't have to worry too much.. often times the instructions can be for optimal conditions or just plain bloated. if ppms are 600-800, its probably mild enough.

My night-time temperature drops down to 19.8C (67.7 f) and rises to 29C (84 f) during the day. is this enough of a temp swing to see colours in the next few weeks?

Hey Growmie,
With autoflowers they produce the autumn like colors near harvest sometimes after the flush. Hopefully I answered your question and remember Happy Growing and Free your mind one puff at a time.

Yoohoo 👋
Firstly good move going into the basement, i hope you'll get the cool temp colors too, i seem to get good fade when i really lower the feeding in the end of flowering.
Anyways, with the autoflower feeding, typically you'll want to start in at 1/4 strength, but this doesn't apply to them all...some handle heavy feeding well and others do better with it. But that info you might get straight from the breeders recommendation. I would bring in the bloom nutrients as soon as you see preflowers or pistils starting to show. Most of my autos started to flower around week 4-5.
The bright green growth you have is probably the increased light, but it can also sometimes hint at a iron deficiency. But if the leaves grow out into a healthy green it's not much to worry over. I think many of us have the idea that More mean More...but for me I've found Less is more. I have more problems when i try to push too much to the max, nutrients etc.
So I'd stick with your moderate feeding schedules unless you see deficiency signs, and bring in the bloom in the next week or two.

@Experimentgreen,
thanks so much! plants seem happier already in the basement.
I'm seeing the first pistils on my lead lady... I'll consider phasing in a lil bit of bloom next feeding!
