My 1st Attempt At AutoFlowers!

Good day to all ! :)

Hope the day has brought you green and DANKY goodness !

I'm planning on feeding the Auto's their 1st dose of Alga Bloom tonight so I shall post a nice update with pictures in the morning and we can see how they react to it ...

I shall feed them just before their dark period tonight so all that stored energy will surely suck up anything that goes into the soil ;)

Also the Auto Kannabia Special has thrown out a few more pistils and I am a very happy Soda Pop :)

Other than that all things are green over here at the Doc P HQ :)
 
Thanks Dr P - you've given me a little inspiration seeing how your ladies are after a month - I was worrying mine were a little small (don't we all ;)) But seeing how your babies grew has made me feel all warm and fluffy inside.

Nice cakes too, I'm fresh from the kitchen and an Apple Crumble is cooling on the side :D

If only I had some weed to go with it - I'm only about 60 days off :s

Thanks

It's nice to see my thread made you feel this way and thanks for popping over to say hello :)

I'm shocked at how fast these things grow ! ... My most mature lady atm is Lady Critical and she's about 14" tall ... So don't worry if you think they look small, they will make up for it as soon as they show signs of pre-flowering ...

I'm starting to struggle to keep up with them and I'm raising the light every other day now !
 
Itš my pleasure, when the man gets home I will update to show how mine are doing.

My light is up and down like a yo yo - but thatš only because I am a moron who can't get the temps right - not because of growth!

I've not found much advice on my strain - Dinafem Critical Cheese - but it is looking very very different to yours at the corresponding stages. But still beautifuļ! Though I think all parents say that no?

Looking forward to your update Cerdito :)

Maybe you can throw us a link to your journal here so we can all follow you for the journey ;)

All 3 of my Auto's look VERY different ... Telling by the leaves some have more indica genes than the rest ... And some have more ruderalis genes than the rest ... So all in all I should have a nice little experiment going in different strands of Autos :)

I have no knowledge on that particular strain (Critical cheese) as I'm pretty new to the Autoflower world myself BUT my Auto Critical is from Dinafem I believe so they may look similar at a later stage, maybe in mid flowering ;) ... So I can't really help you there sorry !

Throw me some pictures and I'll tell you what I think my friend :)

Keep an eye on the Dr.Pepper. When my auto's began pre-flowering they tripled in size over the course of a week :)

I will do my friend, thanks for the heads up :)


Well as I do ... I was doing my thing and bending some fan leaves down to give the branches some light ... Next thing I know, I've accidentally snapped a small fan leaf off ! ... NOOOOO !!! ... It was the Auto AK 47 :( ... I'm not worrying as such because it won't do alot ... But 'tis a shame because she looked soooo pretty ! :( ...

Anyway ... Here's some pictures of the leaf (which was also VERY healthy) ... Some cakes me and Miss Pepper have made and also some bud that I managed to pick up tonight ... It's called Great White Shark apparently !? ... Has anyone else had this strain before !? ... It's SUPER strong with a real nice citrus taste almost "pineappley" ... Never the less it's a decent smoke for a cheap deal :)

ENJOY :)

It's still all systems go on the 1st Alga Bloom feed tonight ... The soil is nice and dry almost half way down from the top ... I'm planning to start them on this feeding schedule ...

1st feed at 1/4 strength ... 2nd at 1/4 strength ... 3rd at 1/2 ... 4th on 1/2 ... Then from then and onwards I'll be using full dosage on the little ladies ! :) ... Hopefully this will work as I plan it will and feed them sufficiently enough until the last week before harvest ... Then a full flush will be in hand but that's not for a while yet ... Wish me luck anyway :) :)

I'll probably be watering every other day or every 3 days from now on too ... If I feel the feeds are too much ... I'll hold back and do a small watering with no food.

I have now also bent down most of the fan leaves on all of the Autos to give the new growth some of that well needed light and all of them have very even and well spaced canopies :) ... Fingers crossed they wont grow as fast as Mono mentioned because I might be starting a new full time job on Monday but I'll give you all a heads up about that ...

I hope you've all had a bright and wonderfully high day ... I certainly have :) ...

Now going to catch up with everyone's threads so I'll be here if you need me ...

Peace and love to all

:peace: + :love:
 
I like your cakes and your buds!

I know this is a growing forum, but I think the addition of cake is a very postive one. There is nothing that cake doesn't make better.

Fingers crossed for you that your happy fed ladies liked their food as much as we like your cake porn.

Ohhhhh I have a question ... :)

When do you guys and girls generally flip a photo lady ?

My usual veg time is about 8 weeks ... But my Berry Delights are going to get atleast 10 ... Is that ok ?

Many thanks

Anything over 5 or 6 weeks veg and the plant will have reached sexual maturity. Meaning she will put more effort into growing buds, and less into stretching and leaf production at flip. The only difference in a longer veg time after that is the plant will keep getting bigger. What size of pots will you be using for 10 weeks of veg + flower?
 
Good Afternoon My Fellow 420 Heads ! :ciao:

Thanks Cerdito ... A good cake can make EVERYTHING better ! :)

Great info Mono thank you my friend ! ... Well usually with an 8 week veg, 8-10 week flower ... My 10 ltr pots are PERFECT with ending results after harvesting being very good, great root system being almost root bound and very big colas ... I go for the "Christmas Tree" kinda look with all my grows usually but I have topped and shaped a few too ... Do you think an extra 2 weeks in 10ltr pots would be ok ? ... Because I have a 15 ltr one here just incase ;)

Ok, who wants some pictures on this lovely weekend afternoon !? :)

If you have the soil and space for the 15 litre pot then I don't think it would hurt. I also, usually use 10 litre pots all the way to harvest, but going to try 24 litre this time on a longer veg to see if it really makes a difference. Aiming for 1 pound of buds from the hps :)

Pics would be lovely my friend.
 
Wow 24 ltr !? ...

Haha that makes me tingle just thinking about the yield of a lady with a pot that size, in the space I have ...

Would be CRAZY with like a 12 week + veg LOL :)

I'm now guna go have a smoke and snap some porn for everyone ... Be back soon ;)
