The Great Auto Showdown

You are doing fine. If your soil has no nutrients slowly and I mean slowly start adding them.

 

[PRIMO]

DimeBagKilla It sounds like you're watering to much, they don't need much at this stage. Did you pre-soak your soil before you planted? The roots need to seek out the water . Try letting it dry out for a few days then when you water do it in a circle around them a few inches away.

 

[DimeBagKilla]

PRIMO I made the rookie mistake of not presoaking my soil before I planted. Should I water .25 every two days then maybe? I have been watering in a 6 inch diameter.

 

[Canuck147]

For the shorter life of autos I would advise to get used to using 3 gallon pots. Your plants are still spreading their roots.

 

[Retodd]

Bummer dude

 

[Retodd]

Throw on some Sadé for them, or some kind of meditation music for them.

 

[Retodd]

Like Canuck was saying.....I mean even in my 3 gal pots they’d get root bound. Good luck with them🙏🏼✌🏻

 

[Retodd]

DimeBagKilla When I water I always go by the feelof the soil. I’ll water twice a day, but it’s not a lot at a time. I stick my finger in the soil and just make sure it stays slightly moist. Ex. At this point in time, for two starters, I use 16oz every two days. Mytent is going through heat problems tho. I’m sure the other guys would agree w me tho. Always easiest to just go by feel. Good luck

So, just for fun I took a picture exactly 6 hours later to see any difference in growth. You can see from where I circled it that the wires haven’t been touched, or the plant. Ms. Kraft is just amazing the shit out of me! I think she may end up being a contender boys😁. A good 1/2” here n there around her on height and width.

 

[Redwasp]

Yes mine are 7 gallon pots except for 1 5 gallon pot. But I grow lots of plants so I have watering down to an art form. Easier to use smaller pots.

Welp might have saved a sour60 bit won't get to big. Kush auto is going slow and sour diesel haze is doing ok. Also got a new tent and moved plants into the house. Man wish the trailer i was growing in could handle the tent.

Weekly update with pictures:

(RQS) Royal Gorilla Automatic
8-10 weeks

Thing 1
15 days from seed

End of first full 20 hour day under MH, her stem seems a little thicker, leaves a little longer.
still working on 2nd real mode

Thing 2
9 days from seed

Yesterday, she had roots (2) through the plug. Put her in the cube last night, left her in the dome for the day and at lights out moved her under the MH
1st real leaves coming in nicely, slightest of bump for 2nd node
Second guessing myself now, thinking it might be a little agressive, moving her out of the dome. I really think she will love the MH. I am happy there is air movement so she occasionally moves

She looka like she ia praying, Light is food.

I envy all you dwc growers. I couldn't avoid the root rot, but coco works wonders for me!

Looking good!

I came home tonight, and as predicted, Bubba Kush auto has sprouted above ground. Today is day 6. I believe she took longer than normal (3-4 days for me) because the temps were a little low for a seedling (69-70).

She has a helmet head. Do I pull that off or leave it on? I've always pulled them off before when I've had them, and it didn't seem to harm them. I left it on because my fingers were sticky with resin from a j, and I didn't want to fuck up the seedling.

I'm hoping my other plant will finish up quickly. I would like my tent back lol.

Here's a close up of the bubba, and a top view to show how much room in my tent the gorilla glue auto is taking up.

Happy Sunday everyone

The white widow has spread so much I added mo lights! 125% more, let'er spread! I have to say I am a bit impressed with this one, limbs taller than the center top should be a good thing next month! Also she is now known as The Wicked Witch of the West!

 

[uncledoug]

The White Moscow, "Thing 2" sprouted the Pure Haze "Thing 1" did not, so looks like it's the W.M. for this grow. Today is day 5. I plan on going from solo cup to a 1gal cloth pot, then to a 3 gallon final pot. I'm using coco coir with Mega Crop nutes, Bud Explosion for the last few weeks.

 

[Retodd]

How old is she?

 

[Retodd]

So, scared as fuck, I went ahead and tooped her. I all actuality I’m supposed to do the bottom one According to Light Addict, but I can always just clip them if alll doesn’t go well. I took the top and using root tone I took the center top and placed it in a small ceramic bowl. This whole grow is a guessing game with me. I found a jug to mix my terpinator and cal mag. I’ll add that tonight. According to Canuck I can go ahead and start full strength on the cal mag (first time user of it). I’ve never used root tone either and I’m told it doesn’t work on autos. I guess we’ll all find out for sure. On indoor growing I’m book smart and have help from a lot of you guys. Cross your fingers for me.🙏🏼✌🏻🤞🏻

 

[Doubledealing72]

I woke up a few hours ago and took the helmet off her head. She's a little leggy, so I had to rearrange the tent a bit so I could lower the light. I took the helmet off her head successfully.

Based on her appearance, I shall call her bubbasaurus Rex.
