12/8 UPDATE: (that rhymed )
Good Evening all,
Quick update here for you; everything looks good so far, no complaints.
They are still on a daily feeding schedule now at 4ml M,G,B and B-52.
Also, did some lower plant defoliation of large lower fan leaves...only a few per plant per day over the next couple of days.
They are starting to really drink a TON of water...close to a gallon each per day. Stretch on the plants has seemed to have halted, and buds are started to form quickly and nicely...CHECK IT OUT PEEPS!
GSC:
WWxBB: Not really budding like the other ones are starting to; however, has the best root mass and stem thickness. TIGHT spacing.
F&V: Started budding yesterday
Switching to EyeHortilux 1000w HPS this weekend, so stay tuned for that update...

12/10 UPDATE:
Almost to Week 6 on these autoflowers from Herbie's.
Did a big defoliation...maybe a little to much, went a little crazy. Mostly, undergrowth fan leaves. Take a look, let me know if a messed up lol!
SWITCHING TO HPS TODAY ALSO, WILL UPDATE WITH THAT LATER. Should I start them at 75% power or go full 1000w HPS now? Please let me know what yall think....

I'd go 75% since you just have them such a haircut.
In fact, maybe even less for a few days... I'm no expert... but I have defoliated a plant drastically before. Many of those tender little leaves that were suddenly getting full light after defoliating were just not ready for it and they got all crispy
So, whereas you did not defoliate to such an extreme degree, you may not have any trouble but for such a high value plant, I'd be tempted to set the light at 50% for a few days.

Your defol looks good man. I would have stripped all of the lower growth but you definitely opened up for more light. It will fill back in quickly tho... At least it always does for me.

i have never grew an auto, and may not now that I know I'll be using more electricity !! what's the advantage to that ??

10 days and you won't know you defoiled. And If I'd have did it, i would have taken more !! Good job !!12/10 UPDATE:

The advantage is faster growth I suppose...A photo may use less electricity during flower due to 12/12 light cycle...but the plant it self takes twice or up to 3 times as long to go from seed to harvest. Given this, I would suspect they both are comparable in electricity usage over the course of a single grow.

Yah I still might strip some more of the lower growth, wanted to give them some time to recover; also will defo again later on in flower. Thanks for the kind words bro, appreciate it!

12/11 BIG UPDATE::
So we are nearing the beginning of week 6 here people...and I just did my FIRST COMPLETE reservoir change this morning. I know most of you will say "WHAT! you have not changed it yet?!". Yes, and my roots still look freaking fantastic, a little stained from nutes but still beautiful...thank you Flying Skull Z7, and Advanced Nutrients Voodoo Juice/Piranha, things seem to be working out great.
The Main reason behind my decision for a complete rez change at this time was due to in part that I consider this my transition to the Bloom Phase. I started the Fast & Vast today on FULL BLOOM nutes (list below) she has been pre-flowering for a good number of days now, and I want to see what happens. The other two ladies (GSC and WWxBB) only got normal base/veg nutes. I am planning on possibly starting Bloom nutes on the GSC around Tuesday, depending on how the F&V responds to her dosing of Bloom nutes today.
:::
osage of Nutrients per Plant at Reservoir Change::::
GSC: 2.5gallons of DO water:: 15mL M,G,B; 2mL z7; 10mL Voodoo Juice; 15mL Piranha; PPM=500ish
WWxBB: 2.5 Gallons of DO water:: 15mL M,G,B; 2mL z7; 10mL Voodoo Juice; 15mL Piranha; PPM=500ish
F&V: 2.5 Gallons of DO water:: 15mL M,G,B; 2mL z7; 2mL Rhino Skin; 5mL Bud Ignitor; 5mL Bud-Factor X; 5mL Bud Candy; 10mL Voodoo Jucie; 15mL Piranha. (Damn that is a lot haha). Hope the poor thing can take it...another reason why I only did it to one lol.
What do you all think? Good choices or did a mess up? Either way, I am learning and having fun.
ALL PICs TONIGHT!!! stay tuned......

Nice looking ladies, all cleaned up
When a product says use 2ml/L i use .5ml/L to start. Working up from 1/4 to 1/2 to 3/4 then full strength dose.
Ive had some strains take a half dose of nutrient and burn, while others could take almost X2 the recommended dose.
Experimenting is half the fun ! Keep up the methodical work and your journal alone will be a great reference for future grow(ers)

Thanks for the very kind words Sweeet. much appreciated, and I really do hope my hard work pays off for myself and other people in the future. I also do the same with starting at around 1/4 nute strength then gradually raise it daily throughout the week.

Whoa I look away for a week and your tent turned into a jungle!!! Good stuff, your plants look so happy and healthy! Also I agree with you 100% on the waiting to change nutes, I only did two full changes with my first grow and never had root problems, just discolor from staining like you said.

Whoa I look away for a week and your tent turned into a jungle!!!
haha, yah it has become a barely manageable jungle in there, but things are still going rather smoothly. After the rez change I had a hiccup of not having enough nutes in the rez so they all got some deficiency from that but I have corrected that issue now.
Yah, I only get some mild discoloration so far, nothing to crazy, and the rez does not stink or anything.
Thanks for stopping by
