Pls bare with me as this is both my 1st auto grow as well as my 1st experience with a Web site.these r d seeds I'm germinatin after 30 hours on damp paper towels. They consist of 2 x ak47. 2xamnesia n 1x blue cheese.I've also got 5 reg blueberry all veg'd n ready 2 flower. As I mentioned I've no experience posting on threads n I'm unsure of d etiquette so I'm currently readin thru old posts n journals. I'm hoping 2 take advantage of this year's summer by using a private patch of garden as well as my 1.2 meter 1.2 meter tent with 600w lights. I've also access 2 basically unlimited gorilla sites that I'm hoping 2 take advantage of. Any1 with any experience in any of these fields wud b most welcome with any advice. I realise I've got 2 b a lot more specific with my info n I'll do a full break down of all d gear I'm using witch ill supply a lil l8r..... pls any help wud b fantastic I'm currently reading thro d full "need help with autos"
I just thought I'd share this pic ov a couple ov blueberry clones I stuck in d middle of a huge rubarb patch over 5ft high. Last week wen I dumped em there they were both in a sorry state so I thought I'd leave em a couple of weeks n see wat bugs I wud b taking on. I only went 2 get them bck so I cud use the same the pots 4 my autos so I wudnt have 2 repot them coz it's hardly stoped raining all week I'd given up on em. I was so chuffed 2 find them not only still alive but theyve doubled in size. Needless 2 say I've left them b... mother nature wat a gal 😆
Ok while I'm managing 2 attach pics I'd like 2 show my blueberrys. These have already been harvested n produced 3oz ov lovely dense bud. They were put back 2 veg (long story why) around mid march n shud ov bin put 2 flower again by now but I'm undecided how 2 do wat with regards d space n wat 2 put in it.fotos/autos. Indoors/ outdoors. Pls tell me what you guys think
Here's d nutes I've available I've also an unlimited supply of nettletea is it worth using? I was gonna use it 4 d outdoor gorilla sites. Pls tell me wat u think
Ok wat else 4 soil I'm having 2 recycle from a previous grows but it's basically d same as loki seems 2 use with maybe small traces ov coconut husk. I've rinsed n washed it all in d hope of flushing excess nutes n am planning on following d advice on d "need help with autos thread " with regards feeding n watering
Yeah Loki swear by 25%perlite 25%ewc 50%plant magic But yeah you can add that stuff you mentioned to soil
Ok 2days Mon 1st June n as u can c by me pic d auto seedlings r breaking thro nicely. 2 completely n without their helmets n d others r starting 2 show. Spent all afternoon pruning n cleaning d blueberry with soapy water tryin 2 sort out d mite problem. Is it normal 2 enjoy spending time with plants. I used 2 think I was strange coz I've always preferred d company of me dogs. Now I'm building an emotional conection with a bunch ov plants. Do any other members feel d same? Surly it's not just me. managed to get enough decent soil mix 2 put d last of d blueberrys in to a huge pot dunno how big they r but must b at least 25 litre. So now iv got enough 10 litre pots 4 d autos 2 go in. As u can c I've had 2 put d autos in 2 small pots but I'm hoping coz I've cut almost all d bottoms out then ill put d whole thing in 2 d 10 litre, small pots n all so that shud mean I won't have 2 transfer em.the weathers bin shit all day if it don't pick up soon then I'm gonna have 2 rethink my outdoor strategy. ...
Yeah man people love spending time with there plants, specially when your new to it, which can cause problems because your constantly fiddling, I did anyway haha, Mites argh the bane of most growers, I wonder how many insects we've smoked over the years haha, my issue was with mould, every plant had it, I lost my whole sour d plant about 2oz maybe more, but It was flowering till start of October, the fast version photos are the best for outdoor for me any way,
This was my cream caremel from last year lovely smoke but I baked most of it into cakes haha you can see where the tops were cut off because of rot
For sure you develop an emotional attachment . . . the amount of though, effort, care and attention (and $$$$) go into rearing these babies. I'd think unless it's a stone cold cash crop then you can't help but love 'em. Besides - it is such a beautiful plant, in full flower and nearing full maturity (and then harvest). It never ceases to amaze me how much we invest spiritually. Great to see you're getting so much pleasure, mate . . .
Shame . . I had similar from foliar feeding too late into the flowering regimen. I learned from it though! . . . Still some fabulous looking tops left on yours there though brother . . very nice looking indeed. Thanks mate, and good on ya . . . .
I'd like to say I've learned but I got 2 autos going same green house in a week or 2 haha it's condensation dripping from the celling on to the plants, cheap plastic greenhouse what should I expect really
I wonder if there's some thing you could rig up with really fine cloth . . a bit like how the flysheet in a tent stops condensation . . . Keep us posted, GG . . . I'm interested to see how yer get round it ! ! (I don't doubt you will, mate . . . ).
Can I just say I'm touched u guys have taken an Interest n pls if u c me doin owt wrong pls giz a shout. Ok I've been up since 1st light checking d 2 blueberrys. There in pots at d mo but I dug down in 2 d soil n found clay after say 40cm so I cut d bottom outa d pots n dug up d earth under where their sitting. I no d soils good coz d sits in d middle of 6ft nettles n d biggist rubarb I've ever seen, will d roots grow out instead of down? I placed half beer cans around d pots n some curled wire. Still no break in d weather gutted surely d sun's gotta make an appearance soon. On a brighter note all 5 ov d autos have sprouted nicely all r bout 0.5 inch n all have lost their helmets. Pls let this b a good omen. I've gotta make a dessision bout wat 2 do with d 5 blues shud I start em flowering or should I keep em vegging I'm thinking of giving em a week 2 recover from yesterday's pruning n put em 2 flower. I'm gonna try 2 build some kinda cheap greenhouse or shelter ,any1 no where I can get some suitable plastic free or cheap. I'm thinking of checking behind some ov d furniture n electrical shops in town,maybe carpet shops. Will just normal clear plastic work n let all d sun's goodness thru. I'm all outa soil now so I'm gonna have 2 find sommit suitable b4 end of d week tho. I really don't want 2 skimp any aspect of this operation but I'm soooo skint. Any ideas guys? I dropped a right bollack y.day I've mixed d labels up on d autos lol.. wat do u reckon my chances r of id'ing them b4 I harvest. I dont spose it's that important...
Classic NOOB mistake with the labels, I'm the same even with veggie I don't know what they are until they've grown a bit, I thought about build my own ghouse but by the time I payed for wood and screws and all that stuff it would have cost about £100 so that's why I went with a plastic walk in ghouse, it's pretty stealthy but it does restrict the light, if there's anything between the sun and your plants the light will diminish even clear plastic, Oh and keef ye I didn't think of a net, I tried like mini gazebo over the plant in the pot but it just collected under there as well, every time the wind blew it shook the ghouse and then it rained down on ma plants, I know the same will happen again but it's just for a bit of fun, unless it's a glass ghouse I think anybody would have problems, I was running a fan and dehumidifier and it was still to humid haha This is Ma ghouse, was bout £40 from argos
Ok 2days Fri n I've been n checked on d 2 blueberrys on d gorilla site n put some proper chicken wire around them.. It looks like 2days gonna b nice so I've put d 5 blueberrys that have been under d light outside 4 d day along with d 5 auto seedlings. The autos r doin really well n hopefully some of d cuttings I've taken from d blueberry photos will have roots show any day now. I'm gonna start the 5 blueberrys flowering this w.end n I'm gonna buy n germinate another 5 autos also.. I just hope this is d beginning of d good weather. ... fingers crossed
Ok 2days Mon 8th June n I've just took a few pics 2 show how d ladies r doin. After a lot of running about Fri I've finally got d autos in the big pots their stay in in I had 2 settle with as close 2 d soil mix as poss if I'd ov left it any longer I'm sure I'd ov done more harm as d tap root was shown at d bottom of a couple of pots so I carefully cut d bottoms out of d small pots n just buried d lot. Hopefully this will reduce d stress.. my blueberry r in d tent n r bout 18 hours in 2 there 36 hour darkness period then I'm switching d lights 2 12/12 ill post a pic 2moz d pots I've had 2 use r so big n heavy it's a struggle 2 move them so I'm gonna flower them at last coz I'm all outa bud n having 2 buy frm friends. They ain't bin feed for over a week coz they had a lil nite burn n I'm hoping d mite problem is under control. All d new autos r showing their 2nd sets of leaves n d 2 bigger girls r blueberry clones. I prepared a nettle tea a couple of mths ago that I'm gonna feed 2 d 2 gorilla blues wen I visit them 2moz
