Sly's 1st Grow: Multi-Strain Autos In Coco With Dyna Gro Nutrients

[SlyTown420]

I 86'ed them already.

Okay from here on out its Dyna gro schedule + Clonex Solution and Cal Mag for the first 5 gallons, and after that pure Dyna gro. I'm running 1/4 tsp per gallon of Foilage Pro and 1/4 tsp per gallon of Pro-Tekt.

Here's my 5 gallon chart:

When you see the first pistils, go straight to the second week of flower. It can happen a lot faster with auto flowers.

Will do. Thanks for the tip. The breeder says they'll start flowering after 3 weeks of veg.

Lights are at 28 inches. I can't remember the proper height at this stage.

If I remember correctly, these MARS 300W should be at 2.5-3 ft at the seedling stage, then as they grow lower them 1-2 inches every so often until flower and then run them at 1-1.5 feet.

Does this sound reasonable?

 

[Old Salt]

Yes, that's it.

Good idea with the two autos, I only have two autos in my 2 x 4 and with the right training you can easily fill that space.

Here is the Amnesia Haze and White Widow early AM on day 3. I've got them on 20/4 because it's a little cool in the basement this time of year. It gets down to mid 60's with lights off.

Amnesia Haze

White Widow

I'm feeding them very little at this point. Just a little squirt twice a day

Day 3:

At this stage it is just amazing to watch how fast they grow. I see a difference just 12 hours later!

Grow girls grow!!!

Wonderful news. I bought what I thought was a used MARS 300 off of eBay for $40 and they sent me a MARS MH 600 instead. Looks great and should blast my tent with light much more thoroughly. I am turning off the two side lights for now. I'll fire them up when the girls get bigger.

Score! on the light Sly. That brightens things up!

Here's a look at my small 36 x 18 tent. I have a MARS 300W mounted at 24 inches above the top of those square pots down there in a 10 x 20 tray with a heat mat under them. There is an exhaust and enough space for a small humidifier and I have an inkbird humidity controller I can use to keep the humidity at 60%-70% for the young plants. I plan to use this to facilitate growing things perpetually to a degree.

Thanks bud. Xmas came early for me today!

I am thinking of another tent down the road with a Marshydro TSL1000 in it or an SP-250. I had to sell my SP-250 when I got really low of cash after all the medical bills. My finances were at 20% of what they usually are for some time. I am still recovering financially because I own a small business and the loss of clients during my hospital stay was damaging.

Maybe you'll get lucky in the current Mars Hydro give away. You are overdue for some good luck. The link is in my signature block.

That's my feed schedule back from when I was using Dyna Gro. I was also using Mars 300 lights at that time too. I'd run the lights at 18" from seedlings through veg and drop them to 12" during bloom.

 

[SlyTown420]

My temperature is running an average of 70 F due to the cool temperatures in the basement. Do you think it would make much of a difference if I raised it to 80 F with a small ceramic heater?

I'll drop them to 18 inches today.
