Any suggestions on ways to increase autoflower yield without additives? Physical or simple changes that can be made. NOT Products to add or equipment to buy. Thanks!

Switching up the lighting this week. Was using just sunlight and a small/cheap tabletop grow light. Changing to either 80w LED or a florescent hood w/six T5 bulbs , Suggestions? My plan is to change to whichever lighting till around week 5-6 when flower barely starts then naturally move to a higher 400-600 watt or a stronger LED.

I wouldn't go with the fluorescent one.. - Tho the first one seems to be focused more on blue spectrum, than it does on being a full spectrum, so I'd take that into consideration as well.. If you got the budget for it, then see if you can't find a 250 - 300w full spectrum online instead. If you lack budget, then go with the first one, just expect to need a different one for flower, since it's focused on the blue one.

Any ideas what you think is causing this?😧 I had fungus gnats, then didn't water for a week to dry out/kill them. Watered with one gallon of distilled water w/mammoth canncontrol. I dont use nutrients or any additives just water/fox farm soil. underwatered?? Nutri lock? Gnats?

Hey! What’s your PH looking like? Couldn’t find it in the data, should be at 6.2 in flower that way she can absorb the correct nutrients. Doesn’t look underwatered because she’s not droopy. Doubt it’s a nutrient lock.. Those brown spots look like the beginning of a deficiency. I’m in between calcium or phosphorus. Given that your in flower and aren’t giving any nutrients I’d say it’s one of those two. I’m flower she’ll need a little something more of nutrients or else she’ll get yellow and brown pretty fast. Good luck and happy Growing.

Yellowing and spots on all areas is getting worse. Any ideas? A friend who is experienced came by and said Magnesium deficiency and I have nutrients I added for two water cycles now that should help but it still is the way it is, and worse.

Hey! I saw your using bloom nutrients. Thats good because some tips look like phos Remember that once leaves phosphorous or potassium deficiency.. I'm still leaning strongly on the cal-mah situation, like you said it's gotten worse.. Those yellow leaves are clear sign of magnesium defeciency. Brown rusty spots are calcium defeciency. Don't go too hard on nutrients now though, from not giving any to suddendly giving a lot you could cause nute lock. Also remember it takes 3-4 days for plants to assimilate and show whats going on in the roots.. Keep an eye but be patient. Good luck and happy growing!

Going to Harvest this Weekend. These Photos are mid week 9. Happy with the size for a first timer. I've been pulling off any dead or 80% decayed leaves. She foxtailed a bit but it probably because i gave her 24/7 light since birth. Flushing the last 3 waterings

I will update more as it finishes drying and curing. I like to wait a long time and not rush it. I'm very happy with yield and with how well she thrived in a very homemade setup. Will update with weights and tastes in 1-2 weeks. Lovely taste and lots of crystals for cbd/thc plant. Sending it out for legal state testing on monday to see the #s. Very happy with the weight. 2 Ounces, dried. Overall these genetics seem to be exactly what you'd expect from a seasoned company such as Dutch Passion 10/10 delivers in every category.
