Brix, Buds & Blades: Knifemaker420's Auto Perpetual Garden

[Knifemaker420]

Hi all I'm just getting started on my first indoor grow. I've had some minor experiance with helping my dad out with his outdoor grows almost 20yrs ago now, but they weren't anything fancy just a few holes dug in the ground, lined with plastic, filled with potting soil. We would water every 2 days and feed with generic 20-20-20.
Thats it.
Lets get started....

What strain is it: Gelato Autoflower, zkittles autoflower and another Autoflower strain that I cant remember lol all currently on order from @SeedsMan
Is it Indica, Sativa or Hybrid? What percentages? Gelato is mostly indica as is zkittles
Is it in Veg or Flower stage? Seeds en route
If in Veg... For how long?
If in Flower stage... For how long?
Indoor or outdoor? Indoor
Soil or Hydro? Soil
If soil... what is in your mix? Will update once I get my soil lol
If soil... What size pot? 5Gal fabric pots
Size of light? 600W Mars Hydro (will upgrade this light asap)
Is it aircooled? Yes
Temp of Room/cab? 2x4x7 vivosun tent
RH of Room/cab? Unknown yet
PH of media or res? Unknown yet
Any Pests ? Hope not
How often are you watering?
Type and strength of ferts used? Advanced nutrition hobbyist grow bundle (voodoo juice, big bud, B-52, and overdrive. Might get a thing of bud candy as well. I also ordered a thing of General Hydroponice CALiMAGic

I will update as progress is made. Thanks to everyone who has already been so very helpful in getting me started.

I spent about 30 hours reading through @Dutchman1990's amazing auto quadline journal and and seriously thinking a out trying to quadline my girls. Good idea? Wait for more experiance?

Hey @Knifemaker420

Nice setup and selection of strains.
Regarding the quadlining - i'd suggest getting some experience with your first grow, top your plants and start with that.

I'll be following.
Peace

 

[Knifemaker420]

Welcome @irie lion
Thanks for your input, I will take your suggestion and wait untill at least my second run to try the quadline. I'm just absorbing all this new info and wanting to impliment it all RIGHT NOW!!! Lol

 

[Tony Urban]

Yeah I agree with the waiting. Autoflowers are sensitive creatures and messing around with topping or training could result in a poor harvest.

 

[Knifemaker420]

Thanks @UrbanAchiever I appreciate it

Thanks hook.

Picked up a bale of promix hp so now just waiting for the seeds

 

[HutchBenedict]

I'll be following along Knifemaker, you've got a quality assortment of seeds coming, should be a fun grow. I think you'll be glad you chose promix hp. It is very forgiving re. ph. Can't wait to see how your Amnesia turns out. My plant is from Seedsman as well, via Vancouver Seedbank.

Also, you might want to check out @Preston9mm, he is also growing Seedsman Amnesia Temple of Bloom.

 

[Knifemaker420]

Thanks @HutchBenedict I'll have a read through that journal. I'm really enjoying following allong with other folk's grows. Loads of info being assimilated. Hopefully I can implement it when my seeds arrive.

 

[SlyTown420]

What a great group of seeds. This ought to be interesting. What lighting are you considering upgrading to?

 

[Knifemaker420]

Quick question for the masses.
I've read that I sould plant my germinated seeds directly into the 5Gal pots instead of transplanting them from smaller starter containers. How long before dropping seed into the medium do I want to prepare the pots? Should I get them set up and moistened a bit so they can get acclimatized to the environment of the tent?

 

[Tomuk17]

Some nice selections there, I'll be following along

I'm not entirely sure at the moment. I'm going to see how things go with the light I have and consider my options once I see what's what.
Deffinately led, just not sure if I will entirely replace the light I have or get a supplementary light.

 

[Tomuk17]

I germinate mine in the middle of a wet tissue inside a air tight container with about 90% germination rate, I also leave them in the container until the seed shell comes off and has got the 2 colydones showing and then I transplant into pots, then water slightly after I've potted them

 

[Knifemaker420]

Some nice selections there, I'll be following along

Glad to have you still a week or so away from starting (seeds en route) but wanting to make sure all my ducks are in a row before they arrive.
Thanks for joining me on my new journey
