The AutoToka grow....first auto... 2nd grow!

Sorry to hear that sir. I read on the web they have poor reviews.

I've never heard anything good about True North. Hopefully you get your issue resolved

I promised myself I wouldn't post endless baby pics but they're just so damn cute! First week done and looking good. I can see a tiny 3rd node leaf just starting in the center of the 2nd. Got another seed in water to replace the no show last night.

Ahhh I see some mini chopsticks..! getting ready for training them eh ?

Yesterday pm I got my 25w UV/Ozone sterilizer bulb. Was supposed to be done before I planted in the cabinet as it will kill plants! So I removed the 2 bags with plants and set in the middle of the cabinet for 2 hours. They say 1/2 hr is enough but I want to kill anything that can move or fly. The girls were straight up and happy in the porch shade when I took them out. 2 hrs later they had turned their heads 90 degrees towards the light by the time I put them back in. This morning they seem happy with leaves straight up and praying to the light. It looks like 15" is the right height for them right now. I'll drop to 12" in bloom. Seed is almost 24hr in distilled water with a splash of h2o2. No tail yet. She's just relaxing in the spa till morning. Looking for a minimum 1/2 inch tap root this time.

Humidity is up a bit this morning due to showers overnight. By 11am back into the 50's

 

[TOKABIGONE]

OMG I just enlarged the seed pic enough to see there is a tiny tap already! Coooll! 20 hrs in distilled water with peroxide always works for me. What they do when planted is another story!

Interesting way of vegging sprouts kinda looks to close to those LEDs an wrong side up? Space an issue for you?

 

[TOKABIGONE]

Sorry SoOrbudgal I don't follow what you're saying. "Wrong side up?" what is?? and LEDs are 15" above the tops. I know they won't burn at 12" and they seem quite happy at 15" for now.

 

[SoOrbudgal]

I thought that bulb looked upside down but now i re read the post an it's a sterilizer bulb?

 

[TOKABIGONE]

Hey SoOrbudgal yes a 25w UV and ozone gen combined. Supposed to kill anything organic Including me if i get too much ozone I guess. It was delayed a week so I had already planted. My cabinet is out on the screen porch so plenty of air to dissipate after. I would not recommend for inside use.

Saturday 9/25/21 update: The first 2 girls are 11 days old now. Looking good and working on a fourth node now. 2 new seeds in the front pot are 30 hours in dirt so no sign yet. Should be up by tomorrow am. I've already lost two out of six so these are the last of the auto Maui seeds. First 2 are starting to grow rapidly now. Doubled in size in last 2 days. Maybe 5 more days til I can top above node 4 for a quadline manifold and start some lst.

They sure grow fast. Nice job bud. You've put a lot of work into this grow already - and you're just getting started. Thanks for the experience - I'm not an auto guy, but I love looking at them. Thanks for inviting us along for the ride my friend.

Today my 2 little MAUI Wahinis about ready to strut their stuff at the luao party! 2.5 weeks today; They got a little trim to purty up. I fimmed both at node 5 so I hope I didn't kill them with love. That and a little lst and a little defol should be it for training.
They're pretty squat with little node separation. I hope they're not pygmies. They are Sativa so I expect some height. A couple weeks will tell.

 

[Farmbuck]

Go girls go !! Show us your grass skirts !! Looking good sir !

 

[TOKABIGONE]

The girls are 22 days now and they got a good haircut and a little lst. I hope i didn't go to crazy on defol. They were real thick! I think they look pretty good for a newbie who didn't listen to what others said. N
ever did, why start now, lol

 

[PLreef]

Not too shabby for 22 day old plants! Well done my friend. I couldn't take it anymore! Now that I'm growing photos I miss autos and their speedy growth! So I started one in a dwc set up tonight. Really don't know what I'm doing but I've done a metric ass ton of research on DWC. Hopefully I can have a good outcome.

 

[SoOrbudgal]

I don't think you did any harm. But i would not do anything more for awhile. They look healthy an strong, few weeks they'll be in flower.

 

[TOKABIGONE]

Man these girls are out of control! 24 days and I'm having to restrain them for their own good, lol! I see preflower stipules at many nodes. They never missed a beat when I fimmed and defoled. Starting to really stretch now hense the stakes I'm not doing a true manifold on these for several reasons, mostly I don't think they will need it. Minor lst should do it. My lights are 300w true at 15 inches. I might try to lower a bit to see how they react. There are a couple leaves with yellowing tips and edges which I attribute to trim stress as it appeared the am after I did defol on them. Just one plant.

So... the big question is: Do you think they'll be ready for consumption on Nov 8th when I see ya? LoL I know mine won't be until the end of December. Maybe we'll have to have a holiday smokefest. Oh, and nice job with your Maui - Mahalo for the updates!
