Watered 4g-gallon on the 19th. The plants have made a massive growth spurt since then. I put Nancy down to rest. I can’t chance her, turning to him and junking my whole grow. When I pulled her I rummaged through the soil. It’s very packed and muddy almost. Will not use this soil again.

Nice! You've got a good size on those compared to my mistake-ridden noob auto grow.

Do you practice any kind of training there, or do they just grow as they please?

Also, what is that fancy thing with the blue display?

Thanks. I give the credit to this site for the plants and MC. This is my first Auto grow and with all the new variables I tried to live by K.I.S.S (keep it simple stupid). I will be growing the same autos again next run so the plan is to top them between nodes 4-5 just to compare. The blue screen is an Iponics controller. I picked it up for under 500$ on eBay used and it completely controls a grow room. Dosing,humidity,temps,light schedule, about anything you want. After adding all the stuff that I needed to control my tent this was cheaper. I will be replacing it when my other grow room goes up with a dual room setup.

I just found the iPonic site. That's a dream device... total overkill for my modest setup though.

I'll be following this Journal!

DAY 26.
Another watering down. Mixed 4.5gm-gl. They took a collective 6 gallons. All the plants seem happy. For now.

Well I'm late but I'll pull a chair. Keep you from talking to yourself so much. If you're using pH Up to get in your desired range, have you ever considered using a Silica additive? It acts as a pH up but is more beneficial to the plant.

I’m down to try anything if it’s as simple and improves quality. I have read about the benefits. I am using AN PH up now.

I just ordered some Potassium Silicate to make my own rather than buy bottled. Making your own should get you 3x more for your money. Stay tuned to see how well that goes.

Census is in. They love the MC

Day 28.going to have to rearrange the tent Thursday. The plants are starting to crowd one another.

I'm running autos in soil with just MC this time as well. Same situation. Looking good so far man!

Your definition of crowded and mine are a little different. To me, if you can still see the floor = not crowded. My perception is warped only having 7sq/ft to grow in. LoL

I can hear them saying “daaaaadddd she’s touching me.”

 

[farside05]

I hear lots of moaning from my tent. It's like an orgy in there. Everybody is touching everybody.

Running the strawberry cheese cake freebi it’s tiny I tried to switch to fabric pots everything I have put in the claimed 5 gallons turned out with a disappointing structure but looking like pretty fire bud I have 2 pineapple autos from seedsmen that are monsters 3/4 gallon drinkers a day and the rest of what I’m running are growerschoice

 

[Hydroholic]

Mixed up 5.5mlg-gallon and watered. 1350ppm. Everything is really blowing up. Starting to see the dark flowers on DD2.

 

[MrSauga]

Great job Hydro... you've figured out the MC by the looks of it

 

[Hydroholic]

Watered all the big plants with 6mg-gl. 7 total gallons to water 1360ppm. Gave the 2 little one 3.5 Gm-gl. Rearranged the tent to give the plants more room and give better even light.

 

[Hydroholic]

Watering every 2.5 days at 6mg-gl.

 

[Hydroholic]

Nothing new. Plugging along at 6mg-gl every 2 days. Lights running 100%. Loving the smell of paint thinner (dark devil) and the fruity strawberry cheesecake.
