Pinky's on the move (sounds like a movie title!). :cheer:

And Violet is really getting massive. Are each of your successive plants bigger than the last? :eek:
Thanks Shed. And yes, each one is bigger than the last so far. Violet is definitely the biggest so far, and is drinking the most too.
I remember that was one of @FelipeBlu's arguments in favor of autos many years ago. No need for high wattage when you can run it 20/4.
For a one or two person grow it's an economical way to stay in medicine.
 
Ladybugs will only stick around as long as there is food for the asking, so keep a weathered eye out!
They tend to stick around when they're locked in a tent, too ;) BTW I have little ladybug houses in each tent now, with a little water and food 🐞🐞🐞
 
Hi LKA,
I hope your week is off to a good start!
How do you typically train your autos please?
Hi Carmen, so far so good! I use CarHooks, like a lot of other growers around here. I top above the 4th node and train all of the shoots to the outside. When they get to the outside of the bucket I switch the carhooks out for binder clips and garden wire.

Pinky (Herbies Seeds Bubblegum Auto)
Date: 9/11/23 Day# 6
Medium: 4" pot with FFHF & Dynomyco
Nutrients: N/A​

Pinky has gotten two 30ml waterings around the edge of the pot, but that's it. She's due for a full watering in a day or two, if she starts drinking a bit more.
Pinky Tracker.png
For now she's still hanging out at around 15DLI. I had to put her on a slightly taller bucket as I move the light up for Violet. She still looks good at 6 days, though, and she's growing steady. Today you can see her second node coming out.


Violet (Herbies Seeds Grandaddy Purple Auto)
Date: 9/11/23 Day# 50, Flower day# 6
Medium: 5G SIP Bucket with FFHF & Dynomyco
Nutrients: Remo Nutrients​

I'm still feeding Violet her Remo 10-4 mix twice every day. It's amazing how much she drinks, she's definitely in high gear! I haven't done any training lately, just a few wires on the outside buds remain. I cleaned up the bottom again this morning, removing more suckers and then cleaning up the inside middle. I'll turn her around and do the other side tomorrow.



She's up to 30" wide and 25" tall now and is really just starting her stretch. Right now I can't find a blemish on her. There will be no water breaks this time, she's on the Remo 10-4 mix as long as she's happy. I'm moving the AeroLights up to keep her at 40-45DLI. It looks like Violet still has a lot of stretch in her, I just hope she doesn't outgrow the Vivosun Auto Oasis!

Looking good LKA
 
Hi Carmen, so far so good! I use CarHooks, like a lot of other growers around here. I top above the 4th node and train all of the shoots to the outside. When they get to the outside of the bucket I switch the carhooks out for binder clips and garden wire.
That's what I'm doing too but I feel as if I am stunting the stretch. I don't get much vertical growth. My buds are not big either. I'm looking forward to following the life of Pinky, which is the same growth stage as my Red Russians. I hope to learn a thing or two.
 
Looks great and nice before and after pic. :thumb: 🍋
Thanks Keith. I can't believe she needed another cleanup, but over 6 weeks of veg will do that.
 
I do, as that would be a sight to see! :)
Well, I guess it's always better to see someone else outgrow their tent ;) She's already getting hard to turn around in there at over 30" wide now. Pinky is going to have to fight for some space.

I used to worry about stunting them with LST but it doesn't seem to matter. For me the keys are:
- Start in a smaller pot to maximize root growth in the first two weeks. I see a lot of people starting autos in their final pots which makes it hard to really build a solid root ball. For me, weighing the 4" pots lets me know how much they're drinking and when they need more water.
- Dynomyco at each uppot - it really seems to help with nutrient uptake
- Proper DLI & VPD for each stage of the grow - This has helped with getting longer stems and larger plants
- Balancing all plant inputs (DLI/water/nutrients/light/temperature/humidity) to keep the plant healthy

That last one is the tough one for me, but I'm learning. The SIP does a great job of making sure they get enough water and air to the roots. The @VIVOSUN SGS is taking care of the VPD (temp/RH) for me. I just need to try to balance the nutrients and DLI.
 
Good morning cool hand Luke :)

I’ve awoken rhyming!

Roses are red
Violet does glitter
I ate curry last night
So I’m off to the shitter

✨💩✨💩✨💩
Well thank you Trala, isn't that special :laughtwo: I can rhyme too...

Ladybugs are red
Violet's still growing
I'm so relieved
she has flowers showing!

Thank you LKA. This is good grow wisdom! Having a controlled environment really does help, and then applying the skillz to achieving the right balance is the key. It looks as if you have achieved the winning formula in your garden though. SIPs seem pretty successful at growing giant plants.

This morning Pinky got her first full watering since she went into her 4" pot.

She's still at around 15DLI and still working on that second node. The first week is pretty boring. It's hard to believe that she'll be ready for an uppot to her SIP in about a week.

Violet is 32" wide from bud to bud, 40" at her leaf tips. It's getting hard to turn her around in there. Today I did and remembered that I hadn't cleaned up the back yet. So she got another trim. It was the same as the other side, I removed any suckers and most of the smaller inside-middle growth. It's easy to get rid of more with her because she has so much!


She's still looking very healthy and bug-free, except for the ladybugs ;) At 27" tall and only on her 8th day of flower, she still has a lot more stretching to do.
