Hey mate, I think you will need to add calmag to your mix mate. Organic ones won't cut it, as they take too long to be available to the plant. Go grab some CALiMAGic and 150% dose with every feed - also cut back on the nitrogen and hit it with more PK and Sulphur to help it go into flower properly. I'd love to be able to say that Autos can grow well in just Soil using only organic non salt based nutes, but they don't - especially under high powered LEDs - the soil can't give them enough of what they need to photosynthesize all those photons - so you have to supplement with salt based nutes - at least your CalMag anyway - as this will green your plant up and help it uptake available nitrogen in the soil. Anyway mate, you might just have a phenotype that is a late flowerer and veges for longer - or it might have very weak auto genes and you might have to put it under 12/12 to stimulate its flower properly. Who knows.

Nice grow bro. The Diesel is a hard auto to get right and you have bloody nailed it.

I will upload more photos soon of week 6. Suffice to say, the plants are going mad and are getting bigger and bigger. My phone is busted right now, so I will catch it all up soon. Cheers!

Coming along nicely ;)

@HemiSync, no worries bro. When I get around to it, I will start a diary for them and get it up to speed. I’m currently at Day 11 of flower, so I have some uploading to get done.

@JasbadSirron, I’m still learning my way around this place, so please let me know where to find it when you do.

Nice grow bro. I’ve done a few diesel autos and they are notoriously hard to get right. They are a Sativa strain though, so expect slower flowering and stretchier nodes. Usually by 7 weeks your Diesel should be well into flower, so I’m not sure what’s happening with this one. Be careful as this strain can hermie quite easily if it’s is stressed. However it’s worth it as the smoke is super strong and give a true head high that lasts.

Hey bro, nice grow you have here. A few small tweaks can be the difference between 1 oz per plant and 3-4 - but it depends on how much effort you can put into it. Firstly, you’re using a 400w LED. These can be left on for 24 hours for the first 2 weeks. Just on Blue spectrum. Make sure you add CalMag and some quarter strength salt based nutes from day zero. Be careful not to have your lights too close in the first week. After 2 weeks, turn on the bloom spec also and switch to 20/4 for a 2 weeks. Feed full strength nutes and CalMag. Get your light close and get as much out of your veg period as possible. Change to 18/6 and keep full feeding with full NPKs, micro and trace elements - this will give you those full range of smells and flavours; and make it frostier. Cut away the extra nitrogen after week 5-6 and make sure when you feed, you fully saturate the pot and have at least some run off. Also, I’ve found you get better growth if you mix a good sifted bag soil with 30-40% Coco coir and 10-20% vermiculite and perlite. This will give your roots constant oxygen and retain moisture without your soil getting boggy and anaerobic. Sorry if I’m telling you how to suck eggs. But I get excited about growing weed lol. My Pineapple Express smelt like Dettol disinfectant when it was a few weeks out, then once it was harvested and cured, has a real sweet pineapple chocolate smell with a hint of dettol. Super chilled happy smoke. My new one is in day 28. Good luck bro, I’m looking forward to seeing how the buds turn out.

@Stick, cheers mate. CO2 is something I haven’t tried yet. I was thinking of doing a home made one with brewers yeast, sugar, rice and water - but that waaaay too much effort. Hahaha.

@bobo420, nice. Sounds like a good little set up. I wish I could use my outdoor space - I’d be able to grow 25 ft tall monsters Mendo Dope style.

@JasbadSirron, I've got the outdoor now, to hot for me inside but have a few autos that will join in on the outdoor, will open diaries in a day or two. I got a unitfarm LED 200w running in the tent until the autos get a few nodes and can be transferred outside
