Autoflowers at 24 days old

[sensiman1982]

hi,
this is my first grow I choose autoflowers as people seem to suggest that they are easier to grow I am using a 600w dual spec lamp and a digital ballast an aircooled powerplant reflector and a grow space of 1.2 x 1.2 x 2m I have four strains currently growing out blue mystic, ak49, auto anesthesia and og kush I would like to know with an experienced eye do they look ok I have done hours upon hours of researching and looking at other grows and for the age seem to be quite large as most I have come across are a lot smaller in comparison these are squatted and bushy is this the correct pheno for an auto thanks for your time

The OG, blue mystic and auto anesthesia are Indica dominant strains. They will be your short bushies. Probably the anesthesia especially because of the Black Domina in it.

The ak49 might be taller than the others as it is Sativa dominant.

They look pretty healthy to me!

 

[sensiman1982]

thanks, seems spot on as the anesthesia is the shortest and the ak49 has a lot more stretch both the ak49 and anesthesia have stated to show pistals too

 

[NuttyProfessor]

have you fed them yet , bottom picture looks like the plant is just a little hungry , but with autos never use full strength , they are not big fans of nutes , could be just the picture though

 

[Heirloom]

Yeah, what the professor said. I was curious what you were feeding them and how much.

You're seeing pre-flowers

 

[sensiman1982]

I'm using a 2 part nutes called vitalink coir max I feed every other day 700 ppm in 10 litres of hard water ph 5.6 no sign of leaf burn except for a couple of spots on leafs were I think some of the nutrient has landed and caused a burn spot

 

[sensiman1982]

New growth is rapid but very light green I have read numerous forums and they do say that rapid growth and the onset of the flowering period can cause this colour change what do you think

 

[NuttyProfessor]

are these in soil ? or coco ?

 

[sensiman1982]

They are in a coco perlite mix 60/40

 

[Heirloom]

What are your mixing ratios? How many ml per liter each of A and B?

 

[NuttyProfessor]

ok cool , , just looked it up , seems to be ok , dose it say to flush or anything in between ?

 

[sensiman1982]

30 ml of A and B equally, A stirred in first and B added after I use phosphate ph down aggressive as my water ph out of the tap is very high 7.5 roughly

 

[sensiman1982]

No it doesn't state to flush but when I feed I stop once roughly 10% has drained through the bottom of the pot I also do this when I water in between feeds

 

[NuttyProfessor]

i havnt grown in coco but i think flushing is a good idea due to salt build up read about it few times , you dont want to lock them nutes out heres a link i found , maybe give you the heads up ,


First coco grow, questions

 

[Heirloom]

I think you're doing fine. Just watch the leaves, all of them. They each have a story to tell. The terminal growth will almost always be lighter in color.

Thanks guys been a big help and a nice boost of confidence in my grow

 

[sensiman1982]

Thanks guys you've really boosted my confidence in my grow and thanks a lot for the tips hopefully I can upload sum great bud pics in the coming weeks

 

[NuttyProfessor]

good stuff , next time start a journal , always good to look back

Good luck

 

[Heirloom]

I grew in Coco in 2012 and 2013. A flush is a good idea now and then.

Yes, please start a journal, or at least give a smoke report. Confidence is probably the most deficient thing in most peoples grows! Good luck and you are welcome anytime!

They look fine to me. My two girls are the same age and your's look to be about 3 times as large and far more developed. Mine are also, at least I'm assuming they are, autos based on the research I've done since purchasing them.
