Absolutely pretty Green, you are so right! 👍👍 Great video, and the best looking trunk I've ever seen! Goes to show what a knowledgeable and caring grower can do...bravo!! 🐸

[Green75]

Thanks Rockman....really nice to say!!

[rwdyredhead]

Yeah that trunk makes it live up to it's name, like a gnarly beast & the buds are gonna be the beauty.
Beauty and The Beast Boom Buds!

Each are different..but together they are one

[rwdyredhead]

A match made in heaven, huh?

[Green75]

For sure Red..for sure that

Hey Green, My GSC seeds just "popped". I watch your video on her and wanted to learn how many nodes do you let your auto's get to before you top them? Do you still let them get to 5-6 or do you do it sooner?

[Green75]

I top at the third..I take the first and second before that

[StoneyTony]

Just so I understand correctly... are you saying you top down to the 3rd, or you top when she reaches the 3rd?

[Green75]

Nodes are counted from bottom up..with the one above the cotyledons being the first one..topping to the third means I kept the third node...and also removed the first and second nodes as well

Thanks for the videos. I've seen them all. Some multilple times.

Could you please talk a little about your feeding schedules? When I look back to the pics earlier in this thread of your 11 day old plant, it looks more like one of my 31 day old's. I feel like I am wasting too much time with plain Ph'd water given the short veg time of autos. But, I'm concerned about feeding them too soon. I'm in coco/perlite

When is a seedling no longer a seedling and ready for nutes?

How much, if any, do you dilute your nutes for auto's?

thanks,
Gears

Also Gears, there is a feeding schedule that Nebula did for coco. It's on the site some where. If I can find it I will post a link. http://www.growweedeasy.com/coco-coir

Thanks, Green. So you are breaking all the "rules" then.

My first attempts were epic fails. Among other things, I didn't add any nutes for about 8-10 days after breaking through the coco. Even then, I was using 1/2 strength maximum. I confess that I took the warnings about too much light, too much water and too many nutes too early way too seriously. That's a whole lot of too's.

On my second attempt, I stepped up the nutes (still being conservative) and added additional CFL's besides just my LED. They look a lot better. Still nowhere near as great as yours though. I'm now trying full strength but only adding small amounts so I can watch for adverse reactions. If they look okay, I'll give more. Sounds like that's sort of what you're suggesting.

I planted a Northern Lights auto this AM with lightly pre-charged coco. I'm going to go a lot heavier on the nutes and lights this time.

I'm dumbfounded by the thickness of the stems in your videos. They look like bloody trees compared to my spindly little things!

Thanks so much for the help. Your grows are inspiring.

[Gears]

Thanks Sonnyhad That's pretty well the feeding schedule I used the first time. Except I waited a little too long to start and I may have diluted the first week a tad more than that. I never recovered from that.

To add to my issues, I was following my LED maker's suggestion about distance from seedlings. Way too conservative. I now use CFL's close to them to get them up and running. It's working far better.

Awesome journal and result. This is my go to thread for my current grow. I was planning on a DWC photo to start but I got an itch from these great journals and I started a coco auto grow.
