Mono's Perpetual Soil

RoorRip

It's strange the way plants seem to grow.

Taking the three auto super skunks for example; The plant in the 3 litre pot is roughly 25% larger than the two plants in the 10 litre pots. However the two plants in the 10 litre pots have began flowering while the one in the 3 litre pot has still not even shown sex...

Further to this strangeness, one of the plants in the 10 litre pots has been in the proocess of flowering for around a week longer than the other.

Seems to be three totally different growth styles and rates even though they are exacly the same strain, planted at the same time and grown under the same conditions.

Food for thought.... :thedoubletake:

This is what will make the light up to 18 hours since the hps is only on for 12 hours

Update;

Pineapple chunks are slowly recovering from being FIM'd, one has been transplanted. Once they begin to grow some more I need to start going heavy on the LST. For that I am hopping to see some stretching happen now they are spending some time vegging under the HPS. They have been fed Canna Terra Vega at a really low dosage so I am going to slowly up that over the next couple of Weeks.

Sage N Sour + White Widow x Skunk #1 have been fed their first dose of Canna Terra Vega and seem to have responded well to it. They will get just plain water for the next two watering's before I look at transplanting them. Since the WW seeds are not feminised I may take some clones and sex them to see if I have any males. I also have a thought of germinating a couple more of them once I get some more soil delivered.

Auto's are just doing their thing. I am going to move onto flowering feeds for them all now. Might give them a little dose of PK 13/14 to kick it all off. Not sure though haha.
 
your plants look so good! are you feeding them yet? I wish I had a hps. that thing looks extra bright

Thank you!

I have been feeding them all. Started the auto's at day 14 from seed on a gentle feed. Will up it when I move to flowering feeds. The pineapple chunks have been fed at 1/2 strength and the littlest ones at around 1/4 strength.

They seem to be taking well to it, only time will tell though.

The HPS is fantastic! lol. My first grow was 100% cfl seed to bud and the harvest was pretty good, around 3/4 an ounce a plant. Once I switched to the hps I got nearly 3 ounce a plant from the same strain on the same veg time. The increased light really helps fatten up the buds :)

I wasn't planning on using the hps this early, but I want to fatten up the auto's while keeping it on an 18/6 schedule so using the cfl's to extend the day light period. Hope it works.
 
I hear ya! They're going to want a lot of food during the stretch, then again mid bloom :) Can't wait to see how this turns out

I really hope they are hungry girls, want to use up the last of my flowering feed so I can buy some more. It's getting a little old now. Not sure what the use by date on Canna Nutrients is lol
 
The auto flowering girls have just had their first feed of Canna Terra Vega, hope the bloom nutrients compliment the budding that has begun. I will take some close up bud shots later on today. At a guess they look to be in the 1-2 week of flowering range, so about another 7 weeks to go on the Auto's.

On the next feeding I will give :MoreNutes: in the way of some PK 13/14 for a bit of kick then let them ride on just plain water for a week to see how they do.

:Namaste:

Ordered some more soil today so the regular plants should be up for a transplant by the weekend. I will be moving them into 10 litre pots and will leave them there for two, maybe three weeks before planting them up again into their final pots.

I have had a slight change of plan with the grow. I am going to veg all the plants right through until the auto's are harvested. At which point I am going to flip the lights to 12/12 and flower the others. Then it will be time to go back to veging. Unless I can get the little tent back up again. We shall see as time progresses :)

:thumb:

The girls seem to like the lighting set up. Have noticed an explosion of growth from the auto's, they are really starting to bud away. Might have to try extending the time the hps is on by maybe an hour more either side :) I also chose to release the ties on the auto's since they were pretty short in their stature and looked like they wouldn't even produce a gram of bud lol. Might have to think about tying them down again if the upward growth spurt continues.

:Namaste:

Hope everyone is having a good day.

:peace:
 
Glad your having fun with them Auto's. Longer veg with your others should mean a nice big reward of them later on. I reckon you right on the timing too. So have fun my friend and keep em green!
