Alright folks, time for a quick auto grow. Time is a bit limited for this grow, as there is a new addition to the family on her way, and I surely won't have time to grow, at least for a few this summer...(I'll probably manage something but...) We're very excited
I'm in a new place, with a new space, and a few new abilities and toys. Most everything will be mentioned and or pointed out along the way.
Please know that this is a very casual journal, and welcome any questions comments and concerns. I will typically do my best to respond to everyone in a reasonable amount of time, but if you have a question I cannot answer, there will surely be someone here who can.
Any and all cross chatter is welcome, as long as its respectful and falls within the posting guidlines.
So, with that, here is the rundown....
I germed 6 seeds, they all sprouted in 2-7 days. They were planted in FF Happy Frog soil, watered with Superthrive and all broke ground within 8 days from germination! You may notice that Chemwreck kush is NOT an auto. I am running the lights at 15 on, 9 off because my current situation calls for it. It is not the optimal 18/6 that the other 5 autos may prefer, and its definitely not the preferred method to start regular or feminized plants. I've seen grows where the grower runs 12/12 from seed, otherwise known as a "No mercy" light schedule. Its a bit of an experiment out of necesity, and should provide some useful insight into how well plants take to an irregular light schedule.
What strain is it?--X2 Blue Mammoth from Barney's Farm(Auto)
X2 Afghan Kush Ryder from World of Seeds(Auto)
X1 LA Diva from Delicious Seeds(Auto)
X1 ChemWreck Kush REG from Connoisseur Genetics
Is it Indica, Sativa or Hybrid? What percentages?--

Resistance to mildew: High
Resistance to plagues: Middle/ High.
Flowering phase: 45-55
Medical value: High
Smell: Hash
Taste: Noble wood
Effect: very narcotic, almost devastating.
THC Level:22%
ChemWreck Kush info:
(Trainwreck/OG Kush x Chemdog bx2 Trainwreck, OG Kush and Chemdawg D combine...the tropical lime/citrus smells of our our Trainwreck/OG Kush females blend with the kushy/chemmy funk from one our Chemdog bx2 males, expect extreme resin production, potency and complex flavors sure to impress even the hardest to please.
Flowering Time : 8 - 10 Weeks
Is it in Veg or Flower stage?--
While the autos will more or less start to flower automatically within a week or so, the CW Kush will veg for a few weeks before flowering hormones kick in.
Indoor or outdoor--Indoor
Soil or Hydro--Soil
If soil... what is in your mix--Fox Farms Happy Frog to start, and will transplant into 50/50 FF Ocean Forrest/Perlite once roots are established(About two weeks)
If soil... What size pot--Will finish in #3 Smart Pots
Size of light--Running 600w HiLux Gro metal halide conversion bulb from Ushio at 75%(450w) for now, and will finish with a 600w HTG Supply cheapy HPS.
Is it aircooled--Currently, no. I have the sprouts about 20" below the MH, which is housed in a simple Max Wing reflector, and run a tower style fan a few feet away to cool the area. They seem to like it. I do however, have a decent 6" XtraSun from Hydrofarm that may go into action with the switch to HPS. It is ported, and will have a 6", 400cfm Active Air inline fan from Hydrofarm to cool it. It will vent to the attic, and the room will have around 8" of passive intake installed to provide movement of air to the plants, as well as heat removal for the light.
Temp of Room/cab--81 @ lights on, and 70 during lights off.
RH of Room/cab--16% low-35% high. (Lower than optimal)
PH of media or res--I don't PH, and don't check...Don't hate!
Any Pests-- Just my wife (Kidding, she's great
)
How often are you watering--When they need it
Type and strength of ferts use--Blue Planet Nutrients 3 part!! Per the feeding schedule on the bottle.
Bucket Size--#3 Smart Pots
Size of grow space--~4X4X8
A few shots of the room...
As you can see, I've som cleaning up to do still, the room has been doubling as my pre-grow/ hash dabbing room lol.
I've been experimenting with dabbing attatchments for my water pipe, using the Dry Ice kief stash I made using a 190 micron bubble bag about 8 months ago. This stuff is well cured, and potent...
I've been gone for a few months on work, a story for another day-But am glad to be back!
Hope to see some old friends around, but no pressure. This journal is more for my own personal reference than anything, but am happy to share it with the community and family. If someone new is able to learn from my experiences, and mistakes, then my time is well spent.
I'll update with important news or developments, mods to the grow etc. Meanwhile, sit back and enjoy
Happy Growing!!!

Hey all the best with your future grow im sure it will be a gooden!
Thanks for finding time to stop in and see me! I know you're a busy man. Like I was saying, I'm not the most enthused about having to run autos, but I'm feeling good about them nonetheless. Should be a cool learning experience too. They are happy little babies so far
