auto-flowering strains

Good day all, I dedicated my 2021-22 grows to using Deep Water Culture (DWC or hydroponics depending on who you talk with) using photoperiod strains. Due to temperatures and lack of AC, I can only grow indoors from October to May. Yes, I made mistakes...yes, I had some victories (oh man, that...

Just a quick update..... At this point, classic Cheese is weeks ahead of Red Dwarf so they are being fed differently for the stage which they are at... Both have been getting molasses with their waterings. For the last few weeks, I've given a half dose of Beastie Bloomz every two weeks. I have...

It's all good! Been feeding 1/2 dose of Gaia Green Bloom soil supplement every other week; while adding 1/4tsp molasses =1/2 gal. water to every other feeding with "Recharge" to feed the soil. During week 8 started a ONCE weekly half dose of Beastie Bloomz 0-50-30. Classic Cheese is @ Day 70 and...

I have (2) Cataract Kush plants in flower. One is ahead of the other in bloom and it is nearing ready-for-harvest. I've been checking the trichs regularly for the tell-tale amber color and have noticed that the heads are turning purple-ish, not amber. Is this normal? Since the head has changed...

White Widow AF from Nirvana (I ordered these before I took a grow hiatus. They were stored in a cool dark place) in happy frog potting soil with a handful of perlite in a Jiffy pot. Nothing else added. She's already yellowing a bit. Is it time to re-pot into a 3 gallon fabric pot of ocean...

Well, it's kinda soon since the last update [about one week ago] but I wanted to keep you all in the loop. Classic Cheese is Day 57, Red Dwarf Day 54. About 3 to 4 weeks into flower. Been running 24/7 this run w/ approx. 400 to 600watts [depending on who you believe]. It's been relatively smooth...

Classic Cheese Day 46/ Red Dwarf Day 42 Follow on javabob Added another dose of supplemental Gaia Green Power Bloom [every 2 weeks, till close to harvest if things are going well] We are in the middle of a heatwave so trying to manage tent temps to keep below 85 degrees. Working 24/7 so the...

I have been spraying my girls about twice a day. We are out of veg and solidly, healthily in week 5-6 full flower with LST working nicely. I have used distilled water in a spray bottle to coat the plant in moisture since birth. I run 400-600w 24/7 so the tendency to dry/absorb quickly is the...

Hi I have 3 plants currently and 1 of them is doing really great, the other 2 seem to have a problem: look at the picture to see. If anyone knows what this could be and how to fix this please let me know. They are all autoflowers, I'm using normal potting soil with perlite and i only give them...

As of yesterday, I declare we be in FLOWER. Classic Cheese - Day 31; Red Dwarf - Day 28 administered Gaia Green Power Bloom 2-8-4 to the topsoil. Watered in 4 cups each, plain H2O - pH 6.5[ish]. Used half of what was directed - 1/2 teaspoons to each gallon of soil. Using 5-gallon bags, so 2.5...

DWC: Autoflower XXL Rockwool Cube Small germinates on paper towels and takes about 3 weeks to transplant into a 15L bucket. Which medium is best for growing seedlings gently in the last 3 weeks? Is it a small piece of rock wool cube? Or is the root plug the best? Or is it urethane / sponge...

Every time my seedlings, have light green leaves with yellow lines in the veins as shown in the image. 1st week Water is ph5.8 EC0.4 PPFD PPFD 150~200 24h 2nd week Ph5.8 EC0.6 (N6-P6.5-K19) PPFD 250~300 18/6h Humidity 60 ~ 70% Temperature 21 ~ 24C degrees. In this state, what do you think...

I waited to start this journal since I wasn't sure if there would be anything for you to take away from the experience. I believe there is so buckle up...I'm retired and just rolled some AK47 from the last go-round. In contrast to the 1st grow, [see @javabob] this time is a piece o' cake. The...

Hello, I’m a brand spanking newbie grower with a mag deficiency. Therefore I’ve spent a lot of time reading the article on mag deficiency on the website. Does the photo on the page about magnesium come from a book? If so, what book? I really want to check it out. Thanks!.

Hi there, I’m growing 4 auto flower plants in an Aerogarden (hydroponic) Thanks to your advice I did a 20-4 cycle this time and they are FAR happier than at 12-12! I am at week 8 and it seems they are stalling a bit… if I were to reduce the light to say 16-8 would that stimulate more flower...

Hi All! New grower here With my eng background I couldn't resist to built my DWC system with monitoring and control of pH, water temp, temp and humidity and I love it! But my horticulture skills are not great yet, after months I haven't managed to test the results of my work yet 😜 I'm in...

I typically grow photo periods and I was thinking about trying some auto flowers. My question is when do you switch from veg to bloom nutrients? My photos get bloom nutrients a couple weeks before they show budlets, with autos the veg stage seems to be shorter. So how many weeks from seeds...

Hello people, I am a new grower and I am currently growing my first small pot plant (1.3L) on a soil medium of 55%-65% humidity an 5,5-6,5 ph.The strain is Runtz Auto from Barney’s Farm genetics and It’s now entering the 3rd week of growth on a 24/24 light schedule. The first week I only...

It's my first grow and maybe I need to be more patient but I'm starting to be concerned that maybe my Northern Light auto seeds I got are really photo. I have attached some photos, am I still in veg? I have been following the week 3 nutrient schedule for a 250W auto on this site and repeating it...

Good afternoon everyone, I am growing my first auto flower and was wondering when I start using the bloom mix for nutrients. I am using the flora trio and used transition last week, I am not near my calendar right now but think I am at week 4. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. 4x8 tent 2- 315w...
