Dark Devil Auto: A Community Grow Record

Thanks Chef.
I was expecting tiny plants for some reason so I'm really glad that I got ultra lazy with the smaller one. If I would have transplanted her with the other one my tent would be bursting at the seams. It's snug as it is.
I think I got a decent light. It seems to grow really nice product.
I'm wondering now how many hours my boards have on them though.

Your day going well? Keeping busy?

what kind of light are you running? Clearly your DDas are loving it.

my day went well, not too productive.. more of a lazy Sunday. Went for a Sunday drive with the Mrs, was a good time. My garden keeps me busy though, with three spaces full of plants that all need water at different times and the StarPupil that I’m painting with CS twice a day.


Yeah, unfortunately lol, was looking forward to the dark colours, but hey it'll still be interesting and sweet tasting, I can already smell her:yummy:

Yeah she’s a really nice fragrant girl. warm spiced mango tea, that’s what my DDa smells like.

Sounds like a nice day.
I'm trying to stay as busy as possible. Keeping my mind occupied is helping to cut down on any anxiety I have. Of course cannabis helps there as well. Glad I'm well stocked. Being dankrupt right now would be terrible.

The light I'm using is an HLG 260watt 288V2 xl (3ft heat sink)quantum board. I'm thinking about upgrading it. I have room for another board in the center space. I would need a driver upgrade and some new boards. I love qbs for this reason. Being able to build,upgrade and repair my own light really sold me on them.
 
Thinking I have a magnesium deficiency on the dark devil, I have some general hydroponics cal mag thinking I'll start with 2.5 ml in 4 litre with my megacrop feed. Suggestions??

What’s the g/gal you’re feeding right now? Normally the best way to use the Mc is to increase the dosage at sign of deficiency.. as long as you’re not too high already .

I was over feeding them I think at first at about 6 grams per 4 litres. I measure out in ml so the way the package explained I thought ml were the same as grams but then saw on their site that 1 table spoon (4.9ml) was equal to 6 grams so last feeding I brought it down to 5 grams. I also thought I saw in one of the megacrop user threads that it can lack magnesium, also using this chart as a reference

Here’s a quick update. Plants are 12 days old. One has a light green/yellow color. Been that way since day 1. Green pheno? Both plants are growing well and have healthy white roots in the res.

About time for a res change. I'll probably mix it up tonight and let it come to room temp..

Happy Easter Everyone!

Not sure how many days to consider my DDA has been growing, but will say it's been around 2 months since sprouting. At 24 inches tall now, she's done stretching i think and is surrounded at the top now by the lights. we'll see how she progresses from here... hope there's enough light but there's no room in the other tent if I wanted to move and share anyway and no more lights around right now that I could use if I needed them. the Golden tiger clone in the corner is starting to crank now too and even auto Gelato in back left seems to have perked up in the last 48 hours and growing faster now. Most of the other plants will go outside soon... warm southern weather is now here all the time.

She looks good. I’m always concerned at this stage that she won’t fill out, but that’s always wasted energy in worrying, because they always do. Lol!

If you have any way to get the lights around her she’ll grow appreciably more blooms. My first grow was with bulbs on wires, suspended from a grid so I could move them around every day to get within 1.5” of the plant. It was a wild and crazy ride, but it worked, and I only burned a few leaves.

The DDA that I used side lighting with gave me double the harvest I got with any other grow of them. It was one reflector with two lights mounted to shine from the side, and I rotated that plant 1/4 turn every day.
