The Great Auto Showdown

Warming up...

Trouble has arrived 😁



The beginning of something amazing

 

[Redwasp]

Nice get those seeds in some dirt.

 

[Juicyj89]

Lol waiting on my FFHF. should be here Thursday or Friday.

 

[Retodd]

Thx bro...I’ll correct it in the morning. I had it low to prevent from stretching after she broke ground. I should see her pop her head tomorrow

 

[KTM690]

Cool 89 I have those sweet tooth seeds also my photos kept me from joining u guys. I'm pumped to see those grow look really good in pic and Paul has great seeds

Here we are at 10 and 11 days old, 1 is doing very well, 1 is doing ok, the other is a freak/mutant. In pot 1 is Headbanger, 2 we have the White Widow, and pot 3 is the freak,, I mean White Moscow. Now I am not good at pics, but the camera gives it a good go. The freak has a hole in one leaf and I l\killed a Japanese beetle (the one that looks similar to a lady bug) on that leaf. I intend to let it grow, if it survives.
These are all in the same living soil (20 gallons per smart pot), PH is a tad high per my meter (NPK/PH test results not back yet), once the test results are back I will be a bit more aggressive adjusting the PH as needed (meter shows it to be 7.0). I have already started dropping it a bit, here's a few pics, I had a hard time getting the freak in a clear pic.

I can believe this I dropped 16 seeds and I only got 1 tail I routinely get 100 % germination

 

[Rwise]

Ouch, where were these seed from?

 

[PaganRich]

oldjarhead100 You`ve had a hard run of bad luck last few months grow wise mate, hopefully it will turn round with a vengence with that lass that`s sprouted

 

[Redwasp]

That is just not fun. Where did those come from? Also how long has it been? I've had a few take 12 days before and then they grew great.

 

[PRIMO]

I have a question. Being my first go at autos, they'll be in soil under a 315 lec. Should I go with my 3 or 5 gal. smart pots? All my photo grows have been in 5 gal. I like to veg long and grow big. So this is a new ballgame.

 

[Redwasp]

I have used from 3 to 7 gallon smart pots. They liked the bigger ones better but they all work pretty well. Unless you have one of the massive strains of autos.

 

[Canuck147]

3 gallon

 

[Canuck147]

Having the same luck as OJH - my Buddha Seeds have me waiting - so.........

Thing 1 is doing well - thing 2 is now Lemon Haze-CBD. They both came up 2 days ago, so I'll go with the CBD strain for my second pick.

I won't buy Buddha Seeds anymore - the strains sound promising but........ I bought a 10 pack of mixed seeds - past year or so I have germinated and grown 2 out of 8 seeds I've tried. Post a pic later, have to wake up - java,then food then smoke.

Adding pic of both Thingies - well - added below - have room for one more at the Inn, just waiting on my next participant.

 

[Juicyj89]

That’s cool. Yeah I had started the GSC but one died and the other was just a slow grower. So I just pulled em, wiped everything clean, and now I’m ready for this auto grow. I’m going to be very tedious with this grow. Paying super close attention to everything but trying to just let her do her thing. But I want as much to be perfect as possible. Soil light temp pH nutes all that good stuff. And yes Paul does have good seeds from what I’ve experienced so far. I got mine in like two days this time.

[Redwasp]

They look so cute hiding in those big pots. I am going to repot mine today. But they will go into peat pots. I then plant the peat pot and all.

 

[Canuck147]

So tiny indeed - but their roots are working hard to figure out how big the pot is - then it is all up. After next set of leaves have been established it will be time to begin their Foliar feeding.

 

[DimeBagKilla]

Off to a slower start than most but my seeds sprouted on day 3 if I am not counting the night I planted them direct into my medium. This is my first grow so I was very impatient and constantly thinking I did something wrong which is possible put at least all my seeds germinated. I have yet to get anything better to mark my pots than the envelope pictured but will work on that. So now that my seeds have sprouted and are so small you can barley see them, what now? I had Gatorade bottles cut in half that I place over the seeds to act as a dome, should I keep the domes off for good now? Also I have my 630 watt lamp running at 315 watts and have it all the way to the top of my tent. Should I lower the light down gradually every day until I am at the recommended height? Also when should I kick my light on full power? ALOT of questions but would appreciate any guidance. Beyond happy to have my first grow and girls underway!

 

[BurningTeddy]

Mine still haven't broke soil!! Off to a good start DBK.

I would keep the bottles on if your not around 50% or higher RH in your tent. Light sounds good where its at. I would wait till there's a few true leaves before you lower it or turn it up.
