Will introduce BioBizz Root Juice Tomorrow Or Sunday (3-4 days from breaking the soil) Little Cheese Little Cheese Groupie Big Gun
Oh and I wouldn't be feeding them anything. You don't want to get into overwatering like so many grows I see. They probably need water once a week right now.
Cheers for the advice pal, and glad you like the new profile picture! Well, im not actually going to feed anything at the moment.... But i shall give Root Juice, a stimulator to make a fantastic root system in rapid times! which has work with autos for me previously with amazing results! the formula i shall use will be 1ml to every 1 litre of water [ so hardly anything ] but enough to give results They are in massive pots, which the pictures don't do it justice, i am not watering the whole of the soil in the pot, just enough for the young babies, and im watering every 2 days which is exactly how i want them. approximity 300ml water every 2 days... [or when they dry out by 80% roughly] Also today i installed a 6" circulating clip fan and its on a timer 5 times a day for 45 mins each time gently blowing on my babies strengthening their stem! Will get some more pics up on Friday 29th May [1 week old] Crazyt-
Thought id post a little update as things seem to be going smoothly, Offically 6 days from spouting, 1 out of my 5 Barneys Farm Little Cheese Autos seems to have a little defect in its young leaves, but i shall keep her in there to see how she prospers. All 4 other Little Cheese and the Big Gun is looking quite well if i don't say so myself, I haven't started the Biobizz Root juice as of yet, but i shall introduce it on the next watering, Approx watering every 2 days, (not watering the whole pot, just what they need) some may say its too often, but there is a method to my madness. Rotating 12" fan blowing on them for 12 hours of this 20 hour light schedule and their stems are nearly as strong as matchsticks! Light Cycle is 20/4 and i shall keep this light cycle till the chop. Hope you like the pics, CrazyT-
30th May 2015 i gave Bio-Bizz Root Juice (A Root Stimulator) which encourages a mass root system. i have previously used this Organic stimulator and have experience of how it works. Per litre of water i add 1ml of root juice. Yesterday the 6 babies had 3 litres shared equally between them. I have been keeping temps at around 23c-27c with a average humidity of 50%-60% they have been getting a misting every day or so of water to improve humidity in their room which seems to be working wonderfully. 9 days from sprouting today and they are coming on a dream!! Will update with pics in 3 or 4 days time CrazyT-
11 Days since sprouting today, And i am very very happy with how these babies are going, Pics Little Cheese Little Cheese Little Cheese Big Gun Big Gun Big Gun Mutated Little Cheese i was talking about Seems to be getting better as its getting older...

Will Possibly be introducing BioBizz Bio-Grow at beginning of 3rd week... Depending on how they go, because they are changing daily .... Hope you all like, Feedback Welcome!!!!!!!!!! CrazyT-
Hi Again, Today is day 15 since sprouting,,,, I'm a little surprised to say the least.... i have found 3 of them who have started to flower.... 15 days??? and flowering??? wow.... Big Gun started to flower and 2 Little cheese, i have attached 2 pics taken with magnify
Hi, Well today i introduced BioBizz Bio-Grow 1ml per 1.5 Litres Water. gave them their daily misting of water, shut the room back up, returned 9 hours later, all them bitches standing to attention stretching for that light. Very happy so far Hoping they get 3 times their current height but we shall see.... aiming for at least an ounce [28 gram] per plant.... wishful thinking
Bit Sad to see no replies or feedback in my journal feel very lonely Have I done something to upset anyone?
22 days since sprouting.... All seem to have pushed out some pistols Some are stretching filling out nicely whilst 2 others seem to be staying short and fat Smell has increased by at least 50% and a lovely pungent smell at the moment, Still on 20/4 light cycle, I have done a little tidying up in the room, removed some of the fan leaves off each of my girls (to spread light) Will update with pics in a few days, CrazyT-
Not exactly but mass posting on people threads might be found annoying. Not getting attention to your thread can be solved by a few things, one being by seeing which others are popular and why or maybe cause you're growing auto flowers. People want to watch soil recipes; not bottled schedule nutes perhaps. I dunno. Following along on other peoples journals will get you the best traffic. Ask a question in one of the pinned organic forum threads and people will stop by. People will stop by.
try adding your grow journal to your signature like bean and I have.. then participate in others threads instead of spamming them. As you gain friends on here, you will gain readers. People like to stick together, i wouldn't say clicks because I have new people come in all the time and read my thread or whatever, but you start to gain people who are interested in how you're doing. I follow beans thread now because she came in and helped me.. and so on. It works promise! Even if you can't help because you're a new grower like me, people appreciate conversation with them and it will inevitably lead to them clicking on your sig.
