Here We Grow Again! - A-train's DP Auto Ultimate x 2

[Atrain]

SOME auto strains don't yield as much but I can keep my light 18 6 all the time so anytime a plant finished I can place another in its spot. Don't have to have 2 tents or only veg then flower then start over. And I can yield a large amount in less time than most photos in the same amount of time. And that's just where I started so I like it .... no problems with photo period just not what I do I guess

I agree autos all the way for me. They are so simple

Day 45...


Current feed schedule... 2ml/L for all..... grow / micro / bloom / b52 / vodoo / pirahna / bud candy / big bud / cal mag


Fed 2L of water each daily, will up to 2.5 within the week probably.



Thanks everyone for checking in...... I'm going with early cal/mag. Slight Def on olga. The reason is she's showing some slight yellowing / rust on some upper leaves. I am yet to have this problem in my grows with this exact setup and 3 days after I turn on LED panel. (I hear increases cal/mag requirements) the Def begins to show. I was only feeding right under the reccomended light dose of 1 tsp per gallon cal/mag so I increased to the heavy reccomended dose of 2tsp per gallon.....

Helga was getting a bit jealous of her sister olga and her taller thinner frame so I cut the top 5 inches off of a hard 5 gal pot then flipped the bottom over and placed her on it raising her up to big sis so with there canopy being even now approx 18 inches under the mars-2 1200 w-panel maybe we'll get equal light or close to it for both.

With out further delay here they are.... Helga (front left) and her sis Olga (back left)

I think it's safe to say we achieved a nice big frame for flowering with these 2

Good work mate well done.looking sweet

 

[db003]

what's up atrain you have been so helpful so far with my auto plants it looks like they are transitioning in to flower now

I was wondering I know you are a fan of lst for autos

but do you do and trimming of fan leafs? or should I just let them grow wild like 80's porn bush

I know topping and transplants are a no no with autos do you have any other helpful tips and tricks

and your plants are looking great by the way

 

[Atrain]

Thanks brother. And yes I do defoliate. I only do 1 or 2 big fans a day during watering. And I do it strategically, I only remove fans over the top of bud sites.... so far example if the main cola throws huge fan leaves and blocks lower colas tops from direct light I will cut them off

 

[Atrain]

And all the rest of my tips and trick are all in the front this journal

Fine work brother

 

[Atrain]

Thank you sir

I was debating to buy a tent to split the room. One for veg and one for flowering, but it seems I might not. Since I will b using autos.
Tnks I did not think of that.
Plants are looking nice!!

 

[Atrain]

Good deal brother.... what type lighting are you going to use

 

[Ghstface]

I was thinking about going with mars2 900. I live in California, so heat is a big issue. It gets up to 100-108, but It only last like 3 months. You think that would b enough light for 4 autos?

Hi Atrain...
First of all,it's been a pleasure to follow your journals.
Like the way you nursing your girls
I'm a newbie in this forum,but used to grow before...
Since you growing autos,can i ask for advice?
Bought Ultra lemon haze feminized seeds from autoseeds and got a bit confused.
The light regime for them is 16hrs light and 12hrs dark all the way thru.
Should istick to this schedule or go 18/6?
Your advice is very valuable.
Today Will put the seeds soaking for 24hrs,and then gonna stick them in 2 gal air pots.
Thanks

 

[Atrain]

I run ALL of my autos 18/6 buddy

It may be a little on the low end for 4 if you choose bigger strains. If you have smaller strains you may be ok. But the mars panel is a nice one. And perfect for you just run full spectrum all the time and no need for separate tent / light areas

Re the single room for autos......isn't the ideal setup still to have a veg room with higher humidity and a bloom room with higher CO2?

I'm not at the stage where I've got a room dialled in that far either but whether running autos or photos I'd like to have control over more environmental factors than just light cycle. Not that I have my light cycle set for autos at the moment as I only have one big light and I'm crap at soil and a bit scared of autos in hydro so photo periods in hydro are dictating my light schedule currently.

That said, any suggestions for an auto that should stay under 1m when grown in hydro and has a mellow, melted Kush-like stone about it? As mentioned earlier I quite the sound of SS Dr. Feelgood but not sure I want to do a full room run of something I've never tried so if I'm going to do a run of autos in hydro I have 3 NFT tanks so could run up to 3 different strains.

 

[Atrain]

Wow kush brother I have a hard time with the height question brother.... I have seen some strains un soul go 20 inches then a hydro grower blow that bitch up to 50 and yield 300 g lol..... but mephisto has a strain called SODK (sour orange diesel kush) with some lst if she gets leggy can stay at your height just keep the light low when veggies and only raise when plant gets too close.. .

 

[Kushtie]

Cheers bud and no worries. I'm probably going to do another photo run before the autos anyway so if you see anything suitable on your travels you know where I am.....in my attic growing really stinky Kush

 

[Stage]

What are you loking for stage... and what size plant can you grow in your space...

ATrain,
I want a landrace at a soaring pace to look over me.
I want an indica with a reputation for adding lead to the pencil and conducive to intimacy.
Let's start there.
