First real grow; Auto Bubblelicious and bagseed, in coco.

Germmed these on 4/8, sprouted on 4/10, and have been in three gallon pots since 4/12. I've got pictures today as its the two week mark and I'd just like some input on what I've got going.

Started them off in Burpee coco pellets and they have now been moved into coco coir in their buckets. The lighting is coming from a 90 watt UFO LED and a mix of 2x23w CFL and one 64 watt CFL. I have been feeding them 1/4 strength Sensi Grow and switched the two Bubblelicious to bloom nutes last watering yesterday.

Anyways, the first and last are the Bubblelicious and the other one is the bagseed. Comments are welcome!

Cute little babies. I am smoking a bowl of Bubblicious as I type this. Great strain. Awesome uplifting high. I have never grown the auto before however. I also just chopped a bubblicious today. If you want I can throw up some pics so you can see.

That would be great!

I know a lot of Nirvana's Autos weren't infact autos, and wouldn't flower properly. But I ordered this from a new batch apparently, and they told me to run them at 18/6 or 16/8, so I'm doing 18/6 for more light!

Some of their autos are really slow too, but produce big time. I have grown their auto NL a couple of times , and pulled 4 ounces or more per plant. They all took over 80 days to finish though.

Do you still have pics of how the NL Auto finished? I'm real curious cause one of mine is bushy and the other appears more stretchy.

Also, how much longer than 80 days? Nirvana said 8-9 weeks from seed for these ones I have.

Subb'd for interest.

I like the UFO LED light.

Sorry I haven't responded been busy as hell with work. First pics are NL AutoLast couple are bubblicious.

Auto pics won't load cause they already are on G.C. in a different thread. Title "Nl auto harvest"

Alright, its been about a week since my last update, so I figured I'd let everyone know what's been up.

The bagseed has been pulled due to lack of growth. It was just getting curled up and looked nasty, so I pulled it, today actually. The other two Bubblelicious plants are going great, I just made a huge mistake today because I didn't read first.

I went to trim the bottom fan leaves because they were preventing the new lower foliage from getting any light, so I figured I would trim three of them off to allow more light to the bud sights. Well I do it, and after searching around I've concluded I fucked up. Since autos run on a life cycle based on age not photoperiod, adding any stress lowers the overall yield. So while it blows I did it to my nicest overall plant, I learned from my mistakes.

I've since switched the plants to 16/8 and wow have they just taken off. First I ran the plants for 24 hours of light, then I waited a few more hours and turned them off to when I want my 8 hours of dark. So in light of the recent growth and development, here are a few pics.

Sorry my phone is acting up.

Maybe try again?

Alright guys, new growth today on one plant. It looks like pre-flowers, but I want to be sure before I let it go and hermie or turn male somehow on me. Any input is appreciated!

The last picture is the other plant...no similar looking growth on any of the stems, but its getting bushy as Hell!

So no new growth to report...just pistils showing up in one part of a plant. Someone was telling me the other day that you need 24 hours of darkness for one day, in order for autos to flower. I know Nirvana has had trouble in the past with the growth of their autos, but these seem ok, they were from a "new batch" according to whomever I spoke with.

I'm just now hitting 28 days today and still no formation of buds. One plant has shown presex, but that's it. They also aren't stretching very much. I want compact plants, but if they need to grow I want to encourage it.

Anyone else interested in the grow? Trying to appeal to all audiences here.

I'm really hopeful these flower without 12/12. Every day I open up my closet for the first time, it smells a little more like sweet sticky weed . They are really healthy looking, its just one is developing yellowing tips and are starting to curl. Not all of them, just the fan/sun leaves towards the top of the plant. You can see it on the more lanky of the two plants. I'm out of town until tonight, but I'll put up some new pics since its been a few days anyways.

The other plant in the root pouch is so dense with growth compared to the other one with the curling leaves in the bucket. It's just on this plant, one or two of the razor leaves have some rust coloring running alongside the outside of the leaves. Once again, I'll post pics up of what I'm talking about tonight, just looking for followers.

...standing by for new pictures!

The first few are of the yellowing on the tips of the leaves. It's only on that one plant and its not really too widespread, so I'm not overly concerned. The others are the other plant. I'm concerned I'm going to have to goto 12/12 with these. If someone could look at my pics and suggest something, I'd be glad to report back and post whatever I need to. I thought these were 80 day plants, I've just not seen actual formed pistils yet. It's probably been around 30 days since going into their permanent homes.

it will be fine it looks like some nute burn on the other one but it looks like it will be fine also gl and good lookin grow

Thanks jonny, I'm hoping they decide to flip this week, or next week I'm turning it to 12/12.

Holy crap, has it been a busy week for me. The girls have outgrown their shoddy grow tent, so I've just got them sitting out under my light(s) on a shelf beneath them. On exactly day 35 both plants started stretching and flowering on the same night. I knew right when I walked into the room the next morning, that sweet skunk smell met my nose. All parts of these plants are kicking into high-gear it seems. Every time I check on them, a different part is stretching out or sprouting a new bud/cola. Hope you guys like my Chomper, he's my grow's official mascot now haha. My girlfriend princessKGB made it in her ceramics class last semester.

I'm just super pumped about my plants. They started flowering at exactly 5 weeks, giving me 3-6 left. Is there any downside to leaving the lights on 24/0 if I'm out of town for a few days? Other than the obvious risks, I can't afford to let these things die this far along.

Hopefully I can get some more folks interested. This is my first grow, I'm just real excited lol.

Looking great IMO. Nice and green!
