[Camo420Grow]

Trust me I know, got those pm's numerous times when I first joined here and was just asking questions. Soo now I ask them at the place we shall not speak lol. Much more laid back ! Now back to the convoy on the Internet for more info on leds hahaha

What's up fellow auto enthusiast .....

Tomorrow will be day 30 updates on the short stuff girls but until then here's a few pics of the use cool auto... I forget what day 30 sum??? She's frosting up and on bloom nutes and I turned the flower lights on the mars panel.

Ok guys I trimmed a few fans covering some bud sites and wanted to share these with you... see the leaves on this plant... when feeding autos with my schedule this is what you want to see... notice how nice an green the leaves are... but look at the tips... they are slightly burnt this does not hurt the plant at all but we want to push the autos as hard as possible with out going over.. we up the base nutes gradually and watch for the SLIGHT TIP BURN then we know we're in the sweet zone. Once you notice the tip burn back the base nutes down .5ml/L and continue the same feed schedule everyday... the tip will stop progressing and your plant will thrive on what we now know Is the max dose of base it can handle...-

Very nice atrain! So you just use the veg switch for the first couple of weeks ? I was thinking on just having both on for a full spectrum. Your thoughts?

 

[Atrain]

Save the power at first... there going to use mostly blue light when young and with this strong of a light they don't need all of it when they are young... I turn them both on when preflowers start.... they go through a period when they start flower that's not considered only flower or veg so the full spectrum will benifit no matter what

 

[Camo420Grow]

Ok thank you man

Great tip, Atrain -- thanks and +reps for you!

Now you tell me.....just back down half a ml.

I backed off a full ml which was 25% of full strength with the Plant Magic Oldtimer Bloom nutes which was possibly a bit of an overreaction.

Thinking about more autos for my next run too....
barneys-arm-auto-malana-bomb-seeds/

lowlife-seeds-auto-hindu-kush-cannabis-seeds/
....any thoughts on those strains/breeders?

 

[Atrain]

I'm not familiar with those nutes.. but with the AN line I just go back 1/2 mill check the seeds out now

 

[Atrain]

They seem legit to me the one is a smaller strain but If that's what your looking for then go for it brother

 

[sonicDlf]

After i told you i was running full strength AN GMB i started to see exactly what you just described so i put them on half strength .
The tips have not got any worse so after reading what you just said i'm going to up there feed
Be safe .

 

[Atrain]

If your feeding daily go up .5ml maybe.... but even my big ultimates could not handle 3 ml/L feeding daily

 

[sonicDlf]

They were on full 4ml a L for 2 weeks before i reduced it with only very minor burn .
Strange how they can handle it , I wonder if its the coco .

Be safe .

 

[Atrain]

Yeah with the coco it works a little different

 

[Kushtie]

Yeah with the coco it works a little different

Certainly seems to work a little different in NFT....I've seen my EC get up to 3.5 and it seems to bother me more than it bothers the plants. Full strength is only 2.0

 

[sonicDlf]

3.5 Wow

 

[Atrain]

Gotta feed the beast lol

 

[Atrain]

Day 30... happy healthy and small plants lol.... I can't wait to get these plants out of my tent lol...it's just not fun and entertaining when they are this size. I'll do all I can with them but small strains suck.

Here's the Dr.Feelgood that has no sex parts.... I think the autoflower gene missed in this one... I'll veg it the entire grow then put her in the closet with t5 hood for flower and get what I get if it's a female

good work mate and i feel u when u say about small plants ha like my tyrone special.its sad they are never gna use up all the space avaiable for them.but dude im sure u will bring out the best in them .best of luck.and perfect job so far

 

[Atrain]

Thanks beast... I only wish they were mephisto at least if the tyrone is small the smoke will be top shelf... the SS seeds I have grown out in the past have been good but nothing to write home about as far as potency
