Well it’s been marvelous to see the five I decided to keep, three Gorilla Cookies and two Blue Dreams, start flowering at the end of last week and develop so quickly since then. I boosted up the pots of the two BD so their heights are similar enough for now though suspect that won’t remain the case for long. Worst case I can move the Blue Dreams into another tent if necessary. They had moderate LST to give them a good spread but they never really took to it then were all topped, bouncing back really quickly. Select defoliation but should be the last one. Tonight I added a ScroG net though not entirely sure it will remain. Putting up the trellis at least let me see what I was working with, 7 solid bud sites avg per plant, though I realize I probably could have kept another plant for full use of the space. More light for the others then! Temp around 25-26 and humidity has come down naturally with the exhaust fan to 45-50. They got pH adjusted watering and grow nutrients so far. Only one of the plants shows signs of discoloration at the tips. As the soil settled surprisingly low after watering I added a bit more of the BioBizz soil so will give a week before any additional then move to bloom nutrients. Finally light distance with these new LEDs seems fine at 40-42cms. I will experiment with closer to 35 to see if they can handle it and monitor carefully. In short, a wonderful week with no major issues. A lot of learning and care. Thank you for reading!

Hi experts. Use of space - new tent (4′x4′) under 450W and germinated 13 auto seeds, my lucky 13, in 11L pots. New to autos. Now looking at it, i think it’s going to get too crowded in there. I can scrog to keep some control. Should I keep all 13? Thanks, experts!

I have 3 autos in my 4x4 and there's no space. You'll have a full canopy already so there's nothing to scrog really. I would just lollipop, hard. You're gonna end up with more of a sog canopy. With photos, you could've just flipped when they were all 5", but in this case they'll bloom whenever they want. Personally, I would cut it down to 9 plants at the most. It'll save you a lot of headaches and you're still going to get the same yield in the end. Best of luck my friend!!

Great looking grow my friend! I had the exact same issue with my gorilla cookies. The leaves all turned yellow VERY early. But, I still managed to push her to the ripening stage although I was very nervous with next to no fan leaves left. Still, the buds ended up green and smelled fanfuckingtastic!

@ChuckShady,same for me in the end. I think it’s about fertilizing too early. They don’t really need anything in early weeks. Glad you got great results too!!

hmmm you are doing ph water between feeds? i've been feeding every time which is every other day. I had amazing sucess with this last grow but its interesting to see you are doing it only once a week!
Superjd
Superjd
@MrHightimes,thanks. I really question whether nutrients are needed in the first three weeks. The soil is already hot. But yours are doing more than fine!

Nice Journal! Having just got through a similar grow that yellowed early and stressed me out only to come out ok was fun to read! Was also fun to see your grow b/c I have GCs growing now!!!! I did a 1gal grow and while it was a nice yeild seeing how much more i got off 2 gals, I'm now trying 3gal! Will you be growing in bigger pots next?
Superjd
Superjd
@MrHightimes,thanks a ton. Just saw your grow and it’s looking great. I get the impression that 3 gals is ideal. I’m trying some photosensitive Blue Dream now in a 5 gallon with some more autoflower seeds on the way from Fastbuds.

@Fast_Buds, so far so good! Looking pretty damn big for 3 weeks! Curious to know when they’ll kick into flower, guessing another week from reading online.

Great start👍 I use solo cups as well , but I use two, cut the bottom off one cup and make a cut from top to bottom of the same cup, then put the cup with the slice and no bottom into a untouched cup and fill with soil. When the time comes to transplant, remove outer cup, place inner cup in the hole of your bigger container and remove, the plant doesn't even know it was transplanted. Hope this helps👊 Grow Big!!
