Hey Ms C Sprite! I had my auto in the AG for 1 month. I don't think I would wait that long again. She got a little stretchier than I would have liked because you just can't drop the light hood down far enough. I have been putting off dropping another seed because I am not positive when my black cream will finish and I will need her place for the newbie. I should just drop it tonight and get it over with. And, Renegade's AG journal is worth the time!!

Totally agree with MM....

About the time in the AG that is....

I haven't used my AG in this manner yet. And won't need to till I begin my gorilla grow next spring. I'm all hydro at the minute.

If your going hydro you could just wait then.

I pop'd my seeds right in the pod they are in. Check the first page if this journal.

You're right mate, no defol whilst you go vertical. Keep opening the new growth on the tops & keep any secondary growth in check by pinching it :)

Skunny,

I believe LA says to defol at least twice during the stretch but we will verify. I got a little bit of time before the first one anyway.

You can defol as required when it's going vert but at the start all it will do is slow down the vert spurt :) As always though, double check with the master :thumb:

Nope Skunny, that's exactly what I was talking about. But we will wait for his HIGH'est to chime in...lol.

I appreciate hearing about your experience with the AG. Even though I've had my AG for probably 8 yrs or so, I haven't used it in about 6-7 yrs. So it's nice to hear any little tidbits of info to refresh my ever-decreasing memory! :thanks:
 
Good day/evening to you all...LOL.

Well I wasn't going to post any more pics till the weekend but felt like I wouldn't be giving this plant and this light it's just due.

And after playing with her and those pesky fans I decided I would post a pic to brag about.

I didn't get this grown in the last grow and it was with the "White Widow" by Nirvana. The Widow is a medium height plant and didn't have the growth that this plant does.

Just to recap we are growing Nirvana's "Blue Mystic" a short stature plant.

I must give the 8" height some serious consideration because this plant is stacking the short nodes on nicely.

I'm now (per LA's direction) pulling the heads down just about every other day and the Flux heads are working on their 4th node as we speak.

The Flux heads are at 3" with the canopy of the others at 2 1/2". That's up from about 1/2 to 3/4 since Sunday.

I guess it's safe to say about a half inch every two days. All the heads have a clear shot to the light with my constant tucking of the fans.

So it's going to be interesting to see how much growth she gets in a week.

Regardless of the stretch, we're going to defol at the end of week 2 of stretch since the fans will be well out of control by then. Wait another 2 weeks and do a final defol before flipping to 12/12.

If I'm lucky I'll get at least 2-3" every other week which should put us at or over the 6-8" mark and can then decide to stay with the October 15th flip.

Yes, we like this light.

The plant loves this light.


On another note....

One thing to consider when choosing the strain is the ability to fill and control the spaces in between the colas. Even before I hit that stage I know I will have issues because of this short plant. But the name was soooo enticing...LOL.

I won't do another short plant with flux. Next Flux will be with a medium height plant....Hummm...maybe good ole White Widow...LOL.

What she looks like 3 days after her final trimming and the beginning of pulling down her heads....

Thanks for the visit Skunny, Rad, Engineer and of course King....

Yea, those five in the middle are getting shaded by those fans we love to hate so I let up on their tethers to give them a little more height then the others.

My first defol is going to clear out most of it but till then it's the good ole fold and tuck...LOL.

Enjoy your day everyone...

Good morning J-Sun....LOL.

Yes, at this rate I'll have to build some kind of trellis across the top rails to hold the colas up with...LOL.

I can dream can't I....LOL.

Look like we have a new convert....

Welcome Tim and enjoy the show. Lots of great information and great journals going on in the sight.
 
yeah very strong arms, you were finally right, short stature plants are very good for fluxing.

You are doing the job i should have done with my grow :ganjamon: but next one will be the good one.
