DeanWest89, Welcome, thanks for dropping by. More learning to do here for sure. Im already shopping for more seeds...looking for an auto Girl Scout Cookies with a high yield. Im hoping to see the last two plants up when I check in later this morning.

My 420 Fast Buds GSC auto did pretty good under an SP250 for most of its life then finished the last few weeks under a TSL2000. I got about 5oz off of it of some pretty frosty dense buds. Going to do a couple more of them after my Blue Dream is done and try to cross it (and some blackberry) to a C4.

Day 7, end of week 1 from first sprout. Starting to see some traction on the first 2 that popped earlier this week. I dropped 2 auto back up seeds earlier this week, saw tails 3 days later...no sign if those 2 as of this afternoon. Temps range 68-82F, RH 31-51. That’s about it for this week. I will drop additional pics if any action on the stragglers. Have some f-gnats from the fresh bag of soil...added a couple handfuls of Mosquito Bits to the top, will treat the soil every watering...had zero F-gnats last grow.

@cr8grow did u just win something? I feel like I heard ur name on one of the YouTube shows I watch lol bugs in new soil sucks, sorry to hear that

Looks like somebody caught the autoflower bug to me sucks to get those little sucker's. I tried the bits and the dunks but my infestation of them little boogers was to much. That was in coco choir and perlite and always wet. First thing I did this season going to soil was to buy me a sack of diatomaceous earth.

Stormblessed...not sure about YouTube...but packages do show up here most days. Those f-gnats are on their way out.

OOTD...pretty sure the mbits will knock them down. Almost no sign already. Fresh bag of soil I expected Them and was ready with proactive knock down.

Update this morning, the Blueberry Auto broke surface yesterday, now have 3 of 4 up and doing well. Good growth on the 2 Green Crack Autos the past 2 days..will start veg feed on those 2 next full water probably next week. So far I found 2 mature seeds from my last auto grow, Cream Mandarine XL. Backup plan C if the last GC is a dud will be to soak 1 of those. I want to run four autos if possible in my cabinet for yield since I cant control veg time. Learning more each grow. A few pics from this morning. The first true leaves on the bigger plant is webbed on one side...kind of like the Mitten state of with the right view. There was snow yesterday not that far north of here, cold rain and high winds here all day.

 

[cr8grow]

Last Green Crack seed also seems to be another dud. The two plan C seeds soaking both have tails tonight...good. I will plant both Mandarine Cream XL auto seeds from our own buds. Looks like this grow will be 2 Green Crack autos (crap germination), 1 back up Blueberry auto and 1 back up Cream Mandarine XL auto. Just more learning...knew the 100% germination run couldn't continue. The 2 older GC autos are starting to take off. The Blueberry is a week behind. The fourth plant will be 2 weeks behind. Will be interesting when I have to chop all 4 at the same time.

Day 14, end of week 2 from sprout. I only got 2 of 5 Green Crack Autos to germinate; they are the bigger two plants. Good growth this week, starting to take off now. The GC both received their first feeding mid-week. The Blueberry Auto is just starting to push out new small leaves; it will be about a week behind the two GC. Nothing poking up yet in the 4th pot...dropped in 2 Cream Mandarine XL Auto seeds found from my last grow. Both were healthy and had white tails when planted a couple days ago. Assuming I get at least one going the next few days that will be about 2 weeks behind. My grow cabinet in my nursery, veg, flower and drying space. If the stragglers are a bit immature when time to harvest I will run as hash or have some speedier weed. Thanks for stopping by.

Right on my friend! Stoned and late as usual Slow starts allow more time to plan. I see big stinking harvest with the green cracks. I see those yield huge! I hope all is blessed my friend! Aloha

Sunny, Welcome to my second auto grow. Good news both Cream Mandarine XL auto were up this morning...will pick one to save in a week. Those seeds were my final backup plan and were from my last grow...found 3 good ones so far. The Green Crack started taking off after the first feed. We are letting all four go untopped just to see How big the main colas get and compare yields to my last grow. Have a great weekend.

Thanks BC NZ, great to see green finally in that empty pot...was starting to think that one was cursed. Im thinking the Cream Mandarine XL auto will catch up to and pass the Blueberry auto based on how they took off last grow.

 

[cr8grow]

Quick update this morning, both Cream Mandarine XL autos popped up, now will have all four pots going this grow. I will pick one of the two after they go a week or so. The two Green Crack autos are really taking off after the first feed mid week. The Mosquito Bits caught up to the f-gnats, not seeing any now. Hoping the upgrade from 3 to 5 gallon pots will improve yield.

Day 21, end of week 3 from first Green Crack auto sprouts. Only 3 of the 5 GC germinated, one of those didn’t make it. The GC both grew about 8” this week and branching nicely. Other than pre-flowers no sign of pistils yet. The Blueberry auto backup is playing catch up and got its first feeding earlier this week. The Cream Mandarine XL auto back up (our own seeds from last grow) is further behind but expect it to take off when it gets first feed soon. RH range 31-52, Temp range 68-82F. Each week will be bigger changes going forward.

Day 28, end of week 4 from Green Crack auto sprouts. Despite the 5 gallon pots the GC are drinking faster than previous grows, heavy to light pots in 4 days...both were drooping slightly early today. Today fed/watered the two GC the usual for veg, one gallon across both plants 6.5 PH, Biocanna Biovega 2 tsp and TPS Cal-Mag 2 ml, all organic. The Green Crack plants both doubled in size this past week and throwing up pistils. None of these autos will be topped and no LST. I want to see what they look like untouched and should have some nice fat main buds. The back up plants are doing well. The Blueberry auto pretty much caught up to the two GC in height this week despite being about 1 week behind, also throwing up pistils. The Cream Mandarine XL auto is taking off now, about 2 weeks behind. The last grow was fast at 9 weeks sprout to harvest. I expect the CMXL auto to catch up pretty fast. Temps ranging 68 to 84 F, RH 33 to 57. Added a third fan low today to increase airflow as things get dense and crowded. Smell is starting to ramp up a bit. In the last picture the Green Crack autos are perking up after watering and grew another 1/2” since this morning. I will swap in the flower bulb after stretch is done and will switch to flower nutes then. Back up plan if I run out of headroom will be to swap out the CMH 315 light and replace with my (so far unused) thinner Next Light Core light. Thanks for stopping by.

 

[One Of These Days]

Looking really good @cr8grow
I wonder what causes the leaves to stay super skinny and the tip to string out like that. My ww auto did that too. I wonder if its because it switched from concentrating on veg to flower?

 

[cr8grow]

OOTD...I think its hybrid expression...the Green Crack structure is obviously Indica but the Sativa influence kicks in later. Ive seen that now several grows. New growth will probably be more Sativa going forward. Loving this new auto grow approach for yields and Quality.
