1st Grow: Blue Dream

[InTheShed]

That was what kinda motivated me to make the little transplant cup. Thought that would make it minimally invasive so to speak. Ive gotten a lot of different information when it comes to the autos. I really don’t know what to do honestly. I had to get her going because I wanted her to finish before frost. Not sure that will happen but I can always bring her in if it is getting close. So I needed to start her ASAP. And my new pots aren’t coming till Friday. After talking to y’all today I may not wait till day 20 to transplant. I may do it as soon as I can. Until then I will probably try to keep her outside as much as I can so that when she gets in her big pot I can hopefully just leave her out there then. She will be in foxfarm ocean forest soil so I may not really have to add any nutes for a bit except maybe a little calmag. I am also tempted to maybe use some micro doses of a couple foxfarm organic products...the microbe brew and the root drench. Thoughts on that? I’m thinking like maybe 1/8th strength for the first month.

I wouldn't wait near 20 days. As soon as you can slide out the roots from the cup with the soil intact is when to do it, dryer is easier. Leave her outside and use neem if you see bugs. Dilute more when young but go full strength when it starts to look like a plant. Stop neem after it's in flower. And I don't think the soil will help you in flower so be ready with the P and the K when you see pistils. The clock ticks on autos so you need to be ahead of the game.

Any reason to use a pot Magoo? Can you just put her in the ground? If she's outside will be less trouble keeping up with her watering if she's in the ground.

I’m afraid I will have to bring her into the tent towards the end. I know I can’t go by what the seed company claims as far as germ to harvest time. But comparing those numbers for the autos I have she had the quickest time listed. But just in case I wanted to be prepared to bring her in. And also the outdoor recommendations on their site was for a 10gal pot. I have a plant outside right now in the dirt. I’ve treated her like sh!t lol. I’ll give a little update on her later. I took some pics earlier. But no...that was my thinking on going with the pot. And also, I’m in a neighborhood with no fences so my stealth abilities are limited. Lol. This way I can keep her on the deck till I feel like she needs to be elsewhere.

Be super careful bringing outdoor plants back into the tent Magoo. Can really cause some trouble.

Never know whats lurking in the roots

Yes. That’s what Stanks told me as well. I’ve also read where some continue with veg nutes a little into flower because autos continue to grow in a way that benefits from those nutes for a bit after flower begins. I believe I read they start the flower nutes as soon as they see pistols form and begin to taper off the veg nutes. Have any of y’all tried that with autos? If I’m way off let me know. Lol

This ^. So many horror stories!

I transition over the course of a week or so where I blend veg and bloom nutes. There's N in my bloom and I'm feeding cal/mag+ which has N in it as well.

I tend to keep using veg nutes for the first week or 2 of flower and gradually add bloom in. But with the new dynagro stuff '.m using just keep on going the same regime now hahaha

I will have harvested the blue Dreams by then and anything I have in there will be small if I have anything in there at all at that time. But yes I will definitely be keeping a sharp lookout if it comes to that. Maybe by the time that rolls around I will have a better idea if this one will be able to finish outside. Our first frost usually hits the last week of October or later.

Yeah that Dyna-gro really confuses me. Same nutes from beginning to end with the only change being amounts? How do it know?

 

[Kismet]

I don't get it but liking the results so far.

 

[InTheShed]

For sure! When I run out of FF bottles I'm either going with Doc Buds kit or Dyna-gro. Or something else that catches my eye by then. I got a lot of FF left!

 

[Kismet]

Just rolling with it. Farside posted some vids saying they don't need all the Phosphorous most nute companies add in. Even did a science project on it. Buds as big as his arm.

 

[InTheShed]

And Penny's Brooklyns!

 

[Kismet]

Dyna grow makes bloom nutes but he's just using protekt and foliage pro. Said he ran them side by side and didn't see any benefit with the bloom nutes

 

[Kismet]

My comparative girls are really seeming to dig it now been using them for a few weeks

 

[InTheShed]

There are folks who run 1-1-1 start to finish with good results, so I've heard.

 

[Kismet]

Hard to resist throwing a lil bloom/cal mag in on occasion tho. Shhhh

 

[Kismet]

Gonna just use those 2 from here on out see what happens lol

 

[InTheShed]

That grow is becoming just as much a commercial for dyna-gro as for dutch passion!

 

[Kismet]

When PW endorses nutes buy stock in that company ! lmao
