OregonGrown's First Attempt - Soil - Bag Seed - Mars2

[OregonGrown79]

Well, I promised pics so here they are. I will start with the Blueberry Autos from day 1 to present.
Day 1- They sprouted less than 24 hours after being put in dirt with a tap root showing.

Day 6- Hadn't really hit their spurt yet!

Day 9- Starting to really pick up.

Day 12- Present day, they are really hitting their stride now!! Flowering per the breeder should start in a week or 2!

This is the "old girl" I lost count of how many days she has been up. She has lived a tortured life so far. So far I have root bound her(twice), under watered her once, over fed her many times, and now she has been kicked out of the tent!! She has been outside a week and loved the first few days. It was a little cooler and not real sunny so I think it eased her transition to being out there. A couple days ago her leaves started to really turn pale. I figured it was just being out in the rain and being over watered a bit, she was still stretching up so I left her. It continued to progress to a definite N deficiency. So I fed her some fish emulsion rated at 5-1-1 at a table spoon in a gallon with some cal mag. I ph'd the water to 7 as I have had low ph on the run off since day 1. Hopefully the higher ph and some more N will bring her back around. Here is what she looks like tonight in her new 7 gallon fabric pot!

Thanks for looking and happy growing!

Well, since things seem to be slowing down a bit I will try to update a little more!!! The indoor autos seem to be kicking ass!!! The #1 plant is quite a bit bigger and I am not sure why!! They are both looking pretty good though. I tried to get some side shots to show the under growth. Kinda wondering if I should hack the bigger fan leaves to get the under growth some more light or let it be? I really just wanted to grow them out and see what I get!!!

Number 2 girl, same as above!!

Now, the outside old gal. She seems to be gaining some color back after the last feeding. Hopefully she continues to improve. See if you can count all the tops!!!! I think I did a decent job training her considering it was my first time. I did have a mishap last night though, I accidentally topped her and I am not sure how it will affect her!! Second picture is the accidental top!!

Happy Growing

So, last night I was peeking in the tent and got hit by a very powerful aroma! Upon closer look it seems the autos have decided to start flowering! So now for the questions!!! Should I think about feeding them yet? They have been in 3 gallons of FFOF for 18 days and have been watered 3 times total. Everyone says FFOF is good for 4-6 weeks without feed? Second question is, should I remove the bigger fan leaves yet or just let them be for now? I have been tucking them but I see lots of people defol these things. Here are a couple purple pics for you all.

Looking good OG I normally take of the lower stuff under the first set of true leaves if that makes sense. Ive got a pic of my autos underside cleaned up in my auto journal. As far as bloom nutes some will wait until after the stretch some will start when the see the buds start to form. Hope this helps

Weekend update!!!!
I have fed the outside girl a couple times the last week or so. She is still showing signs of an N deficiency. I have been giving her 1 tbs. of 5-5-1 fish emulsion in 1 gallon of ph'd water. I am not sure why she is still showing such light color?! I am not really too worried as she is growing like crazy and really seems to like being outside!!! She has something eating holes in a couple of her leaves, I may try a neem oil treatment here in the next couple days and see if that helps. You can see the holes in the last picture. Also, her accidental topping seems to be healing good and is showing new growth!!

Now, as for the auto sisters!!! They grow sooooo fast its amazing!!! They got their fist feeding last night. 1/8 tsp of A&B parts of House-Garden soil and 1 tsp of cal/mag in a gallon of water. They split the gallon and each got 1/2 gallon. They immediately drooped which happens but this morning are looking VERY happy! I put a lighter in the pics for a size reference, they are in 3 gallon bags. As you can see, the node spacing is looking pretty good. I am really scared to trim either of them up as I don't want to interrupt their happy life right now!! Unless one of you pro's wants to encourage me to give them a hair cut!!!! It seems when they pre-flowered they immediately started to stretch. How long until they stop stretching(in general) and start to build buds? I was thinking about not giving flower nutes (which I have no idea what to use brand wise) for at least another week. Anyways, thanks for looking!!!

Nice garden good job

Time for another update!!!
Outside girl has thrown some pre flowers so I know she is a she!!! She has also taken the fish emulsification really good and has greened up and experienced a growth spurt of sorts!!! Here she is in her happy new home. Thats a size 13 foot for reference!!

Now the auto blueberries are monsters!!! They started to flower i think somewhere around 15 days ago. The stretch has been amazing!! they both stand about 2' tall now and have lots of bud sites!! I think I need to get in and trim some bigger leaves out of the way but really don't want to hurt them and set them back!! They look a little droopy in the pic because they were on day 6 without water. Don't worry, they got fed immediately after these pics!!

The plant on the left has 1 leaf with some markings on it. Since its only 1 leaf I am not too worried. Here it is!

BTW, I am thinking of dropping some raspberry kush or northern lights photo plants soon. My tent is tiny though and I really want to get them going good. Should I wait till these autos finish and then start a new batch or do you think I would be okay dropping some babies soon and having them be okay? I really need another light or two and another tent!!!

 

[dirt mcgert]

Girls are looking good. If your concerned about room for the new ones you could always wait until your autos are about 2-3 weeks out and start them. They wouldn't take up much space in that time frame imo.

Well, it looks like I got 2 phenos from my first 2 dropped!!! One is lanky and just keeps stretching the other is in full on flower!! Hopefully the lanky one starts to fill out a deal stops stretching soon!!! Gonna run out of height in another 6". Here are the pics of the autos. I will get the big girl pics up later.

Autos are looking good. You got plans for another auto run when these girls finish up?

 

[OregonGrown79]

Not really sure what I want to put down next!!! I have 3 more of these auto beans, 5 feminized Northern Lights and 5 Cannaventure Pure Raspberry kush fees. My girlfriend wants me to do RK but I love the way these autos grow!!! So easy! I can't seem to overfeeding them which is a good thing!!!

8-13-16 Update!!!
So, its been really hot here the last few days and my poor outside girl was BEGGING me for a drink! I gave her a gallon with 10ml each of parts A & B of House-Garden and a tsp of cal-mag. She really seems to have loved it!! When I first tried feeding her this brand she went through really bad burn, no signs of it this time!!! She has started to preflower and has grown at least 3" vertical the last 2 days. Here she is in all of her glory! If you look real close you can see her resident lady bug hanging out eating all the bad bugs!'

The Auto Girls are going strong. The one has just kept stretching so I tried my hand at supercropping last night. She doesn't seem to have suffered any ill effects but we shall see what happens to the main bud over time! The shorter girl is stacking buds and starting to shine up with really nice trichs. Hopefully she keeps filling out! These are on day 41 of the breeders 10 week finish time! I am keeping my fingers crossed lanky girl starts stacking here soon otherwise I am gonna get a ton of little popcorn off her! Here are the pics!

My supercrop job!

Interesting that that one blueberry stretched to a point like that. is it an auto bag seed?

I love the look of your outdoor. the Oregon sun does well for it.

 

[OregonGrown79]

Nope, not bags end. Came from a breeder!! Both were started and cared for EXACTLY the same!!! I got some MOAB for them to hopefully help them both fill in a lot!!! Out side girl is loving this hot weather and sun. Time to tie down the stretchers again and get that canopy nice and even!! She has grown a minimum of 8" vertical in the last 3 days. It's phenomenal!!! Can't wait for her to start stacking some nice frosty buds!!!

Weekend update time!!!!
Outside girl is really enjoying this heat wave!! I had to tie her down AGAIN! I have been giving her a gallon of food one day and a gallon of ph'd water the next to keep her hydrated! I have really stepped up the feeding. Currently she is getting 15ml/gallon of parts A&B House-Garden, 1 tsp of cal/mag and 1/5 tsp of MOAB. THAT'S A LOT OF FOOD!! She loves it and is responding well with no burn or blaring deficiencies. Here are her pics! As you can see the training from a baby has really paid off with a nice fairly even canopy.

It looks like preflower stretch is calming down so hopefully she starts packing on the buds!!!

Weekend update!!!
Well, with the HOT weather we have been having....... Outside girl is drinking a ton and eating a ton!!! She has finished her stretch it seems and is starting to build some flowers!! She seems to really like the hot sun and the amount of food she is getting. I have been watering her every night and feeding every other night. I haven't decreased the amount of food per feeding either! Right now she is dining on 15ml each of A&B House-Garden, 1 tsp of cal/mag and 1/5 teaspoon of M.O.A.B. Yes, its a P/K supplement that seems to be working well, more on that when we get to the autos!!! So without further words, here is outside lady and all her lovely soon to be MASSIVE tops!!

Close up of baby flowers!!!

So, on to the auto blueberries. I think I am going to order a bunch more of these if the smoke lives up to what they look like!!! The tall lanky one has FINALLY finished her stretching and is starting to pack on some weight. I see no real bad side effects from the super cropping I performed a couple weeks ago. Top Cola is really starting to pack it on and is quite sticky. She (lanky) seems to be about 2 weeks behind the short fatty. I am gonna go and pick up a loup Monday so I can start checking the short ones trichs. They are on day 54 so I am thinking at least 2, more likely 3 weeks left for the short one. If she holds to the breeders 10 week start to finish. I have been feeding every 3rd evening with a TON of food. They don't really show any burn so I just keep upping the dose and see what happens! Tonight they both got 20ml House-Garden A&B(40ml total), 1 tsp cal/mag and 1/2 tsp MOAB. I am pretty sure I am over feeding but they seem to take it and want more when feeding night comes!! I have to say, these things are a BLAST to grow!! I am not a smoker so I am doing this for my girlfriend, and my wallet!!! Its going to be real hard when harvest comes not to at least sample a little of it!!! So, here are the pics of the auto girls.
Tent shot!

Lanky girl buds, notice the lack of brown pistils. They are almost all white still.

This is the top of the main cola on the short fatty. She is maturing much faster so I think she will be ready by the 10 weekish mark.

I will try and get some better size reference pics up maybe tomorrow. Looking for any constructive criticism or advice as things have really started moving lately at a fast pace! I don't want to get stuck in a bad spot and loose this all now!!!
