Need help with autos? Welcome

  1. Is that for foliar feeding or watering? I’ve been dosing it at a teaspoon a gallon! Ann issues with overdoing the Epsom salts?

    hello there GC,

    i currently have 2 autos going now and this is my first run with them, only 3rd run total.

    setup consists of 2 x 400w HID fixtures, currently running MH bulbs. they are in a homemade tent in my basement, 5' x 6' and have about 7' of headroom before i run into ballasts and reflectors. Schedule is 18/6.

    girls are a Krippleberry auto from dr. krippling and a royal queen diamond auto from Kera Seeds
    there is a 3rd plant pictured below but it is a photo strain

    they are both in FFOF and about 25% perlite

    so far just ph'd water and a little great white

    EDIT: forgot to mention, started germ 5/30, the autos were above soil on 6/2 which makes them about 25 days old

    now for the questions, i would like some insight on when to switch to HPS bulbs and also when to start nutes for them. the only nutes i currently have are Fox farms trio + beastie blooms, cha ching, i also have a cal/mg supplement. Guidance would be greatly appreciated.

    here are some pics

  5. Update!! 2 plants are 35 days old. Lots of topping, and LSTing going on. the one plant has always been growing bigger and better since day 1, its looking great! Just doing some more LST tonight, the one bigger one is going nice, lots of tops coming up! (SCROG READY!). But, i broke a branch on the other girl. One of the two main tops. Snapped it, it was still attached, jus hangin on barely. So, i taped it up and tied it up, which ive done before and know it works! my only question is how long does it take to knot up and heal? when is it safe to remove tape and ties?

    edit: loki, you probably remember, but to anyone else, these are photos, not autos!

    Cheers to every one for the help looking much better now, gave her some Epsom salt today so hopefully will see Evan more improvement.

    hey guys. in a dilemma here. as mentioned b4, i just snapped a main on one of my two plants. 36 days old. the plant i snapped a main, is much smaller, much slower growing, and much less bud sites. i taped/tied it and it should heal herself. but i was going to be doing a scrog, so my question is it worth it to keep her? i wont be able to bend that stem for a while and thats gonna hurt me, cuz it needs to be LSTd now! so i think i should jus toss the one, and jus veg the other longer, and fill up my 5 x 5 scrog net. i think i could get the same harvest as if i did the 2 plants. ive done it before, 1 plant, 10oz. so should i jus toss the broken and smaller plant? ugh.
     
  9. Hps you can add around 2 weeks as long as you keep the heat in check but somr use from seed just raised up as for nutes start around 2-3 weeks and at 1/4 strength tonstart work it up. Remember to keep temps and hum in check

  11. Put her outside? ( if you can) she will sulk a week but she may then just take off id give her a little longer if you can continue to grow the other if she dont start growing then its your call. But your gonna wanna have her a bit bigger befire flower right?

  13. okay maybe ill put her outside, and see it she takes off. but i think the main that broke is dying. no pic right no but it def doesnt look good. it was hard to tie and support bc it broke right at the split. so if that main dies then thats a rap. as for the other, yes i will veg her for a good while and fill up the 5x5 net. and i believe i can get very good results. if i fill up the net with 1 plant or 2 plants, its the same thing. same amount of canopy, right?

  14. You’ll be surprised at what they can bounce back from pal , and yes whether you have 1 or 100 plants filling the tent they both have the ability to grow the same amount as long as the area is covered

    My Auto Duck is 20 days old. I was going to let her do her thing in a pot in my garden to see how she does but I've got this urge to FIM her. I've only read about it, not done it but she looks like she's begging for it. The consensus is to only LST autos but I have a good feeling about this one. She has 4 full nodes formed and is on 1/4 feed. Thoughts?

  16. Help! I don't know what i should be feeding my autos from this point; they have started pushing preflowers and i'm still giving them veg ratio nutes (GH flora trio). Do I feed them the same as I would with photo period? pls reply!

  18. couldnt save her. that main branch was dying, getting worse. i tossed her :(. but, the other is looking good! 39 days old. gonna keep growing her to fill up the 5x5 scrog net. heres some pics, do those leaves look normal? is that some sorta problem/deficiency? they look like a little crinkled up or something.
