First soil grow. Transitioning from Hydro DWC. 5 seeds planted in soil and watered 2 days ago. The journey begins. Strain is by Fast Buds 420-"Auto Cheese"
*4X4X6.5 grow tent
*(5) 5 gallon grow bags
*2000 watt Wills cree cob led full spectrum grow light
*Grow medium: (Soil) Biobizz light mix soil
*Nutrients: Mega Crop 2 part (Part A and Part B)
*General Hydroponics Ph Up and Down
For now I'm just watering with filtered tap water. Will start feeding nutrients when theres 3 to 4 nodes and the first cotyledons that pop up start to turn yellow they will get there first feeding of mega crop part A and B.
@AutoKing, thanks for checking them out! Used to be a coco grower for the longest time and figured I would try a small scale DWC to test it out. Crazy how fast plants go when conditions are right.
Cheers!
@CheckThoseTrichs, thanks man. Just checked out your diaries. Looking good too man. I used to grow hydro. Miss being able to see my roots. Lol beautiful pearly white roots! Outdoor plants look nice too. I wanna do hydro down the road but for now I'm in soil due to medical reasons. That can all change tho a year down the road I may pick hydro dwc back up. I grew some beasts in hydro. Autos and photos. Happy growing and good luck on your journey friend!
@Mr_Weeds_Autos, thanks each pheno is quite different as far as bud size and density and smell. I started chopping and trimming 2 plants today. Today we finished trimming and hanging the tops from two plants. Gonna let the bottoms go another week or 2 to fill out before finishing trimming. Got 2 more plants to work at trimming tomorrow. All the tops that are finished and will let the lowers go a lil longer also on those 2 girls.
@Phurlax, thanks bud. Let me know a dry weight please when shes dry :) Hope you enjoy the harvest. Leave a smoke report also bud. Thanks and good luck on the next grow :D
@Tweezer, I quit hydro and started in soil cuz I want a more simple and forgiving system. When stuff goes wrong in hydro you can lose a crop quick I learned the hard way. When I started my first noob mistake I wasnt using a sterile system and had no protection and I got root rot and lost my first crop. Hydroguard from there and no more problems with Pythium. But then I lost my 2nd harvest cuz I chopped it all down due to all plants hermied due to stress or a light leak, not exactly sure. Made it through the next 2 harvest successfully before my lung collapsed and I quit and sold my old equipment. Started new in soil cuz I like the soil flavor weed and easier to grow. Oh was battling fungus gnats at the end of hydro, I was using single 5 gallon buckets DWC with air stones and air pumps. So many problems tho and carrying water buckets with medical issues is to hard on me. Switched for a lot of reasons
nice i have the same strain coming on week 10 might wanna move the light back some or try to cool it down if temps are high i see the leaf edges curling. good luck let me know if you have any questions about the auto cheese.
@Phurlax, yeah there big enough to start training. Just dont have anything at the moment safe to tie em down. Low on funds. Just letting em go til then. When I can I'll buy some plant ties and tie the side branches down to penetrate more light to the lowers but I'm leaving the main cola grow straight up as I have no plant safe material to use to tie them down right now. But I do plan to train them when funds allow. If she gets too tall I'll have to super crop her to control height but I think she will be fine.
Looking great mate . Long you reckon you going give her . Iv got fastbuds gone now myself cheese . Gorilla cookies . lemon pi week 8 check out my diary ๐๐ฅ
Happy growing
@Formedicalneeds, depends how long they take. I'm thinking 12 weeks but not sure til I get there bud. I got 2 forbidden cookies and 2 puple nuggets that I got from Mephisto planted a few days ago and just planted a Girl Scout Cookies Auto last night from Auto Seeds. Working my way up to planting 3 more strains when they arrive in the mail :)
All 5 seeds have sprouted 3 days into planting them and they're all above ground this morning. Planted them Tuesday night and its Friday morning today. The 2 in the back popped above ground last night and when I woke up the other 3 were above ground this morning. Time to get my grow on... Woohoo!
