The Great Auto Showdown

yes do that, if you have more CO2 in the room it could get dissolved into the water with that powerful pump, try with the outside air like you said

heres a question for this years outdoor grow I used mostly 10 gallon pots with some 7 mixed in I made super soil following the GWE recipe ,while watering yesterday we noticed some yellowing leaves close to the bottom.hers my question ,does this indicate that the nutrients are getting low and I should start giving them nutes I put them in pots in the GH the beginning of April I think lol

Hi OJ I don't have mine in GH anymore do to high temps. Mine are in soil that I've mixed and after being in there for 70+ days I start feeding N teas. I notice during the change from teen to adult stage they get hungry. Mine are avg. 5ft right now bud sites are more pronounced so i'm giving them bat/fish, kelp and molasess tea mix. I've also treated them to Epsom salt for heat stress when I plain water couple tbl spoons per gallon this will not burn plants. Mid growth on my outdoor photos I start to see yellow near bottom large fan leafs. Mine are leaving puberty

1500 ladybugs! Turned them loose 2 days ago, some on an infested wild grape vine, the rest in the garden. Checking on them yesterday, I find many still in my plants and on the wild grape, (I started to take a pic but did not want to offend anyone) what do I see,, stacked ladybugs! Thats why I put them there, so much to eat, they'll make babies!
I went to several places to try to get these and some praying mantis, gave up and went to see if the grow shop has timers in (110v digital w/battery backup). I tell the gal I have been all over looking for ladybugs and praying mantis, they hardly ever have what I want (but there close), she tells me they got ladybugs in yesterday! A tad under $33 and I am out the door with 1500 live ladybugs!

And a question, when do all y'all take your clones? The days are growing short, and I want to take some for a fall/winter indoor grow. I have a seed soaking now for one plant and I am thinking I need to get this done by the end of this month before they start to flower.

 

[Rwise]

I have not grown in pots outdoor, but we never worried about fan leaves yellowing and falling off from the bottom, we called it mulch!

 

[SoOrbudgal]

I'm taking clones now from outdoor photos. I hope to have 4 to go for fall/winter tent. Mama Mia and Critical Kush old school. I can get crazy this time of year with cloning.

Outside the ones we have in pots we start light feedings after about 2 months. Ours are in 25 gallon pots though. Outside we either top dress after 2 months or use teas

Newest CBD plants in the field. These are all AC/DC. They raised the thc max here to .9% so we were able to start some new strains. This potted plants are Franklin's

Due to weather I had to move my awesome outdoor auto inside, but not the grow room. How many days will it be fine without light? This was thursday late afternoon. How many days until I need to consider moving it into the grow room? I have to measure, but it might fit.

I guess the thing to decide is either a 60 day old auto going 3 or 4 days in a cool dark room or move it in grow room with 3 flowering and risk possibly bringing pest in.

I can move it outdoors for a few hours at a time if that helps, but it's cloudy out. It probably won't clear up until monday morning.

 

[Spidermite]

You need to provide at least some light to the plant even if it is just a regular overhead light. With autos though without proper light it will slow its growth and have smaller yields in the end.

But I would not risk bringing pests in with your inside plants.

Don’t know if you guys are still posting Saturday updates or not but here’s my p98 lady at about 3 weeks? Close to it anyways. Took her out from under the t5 and added my blurple 100w but it actually grows plants surprisingly well. Already a noticeable amount of growth in the 2 days it’s been switched. Gonna start full nute strength next water. Oh and it’s in ff happy frog now in a 5 gal.

happy growing!

 

[Spidermite]

Very nice looking plant. Yes we are still posting updates. Not always on satarday but when we can we post. Love seeing the pictures and updates on everyones grows.

 

[Juicyj89]

Hey Spidermite cool and thanks. I forgot to mention that I have 3 ww autos in the making as well.

 

[oldjarhead100]

outdoor plant will switch to bloom around the 15th of August ,so you could take them in the beginning of Aug.this might be better for a timeline Aug 1st take clones Aug 10-15 transplant clones toward the end of Aug. then in Sept you can train,flip what ever@Rwise type in Lady bugs on amazon you can get 3000 for around 20, I let 3000 go inside before it got warm enough to do it outside but when I moved everything out to the GH they went with it ,also check out Arbicoorganics.com they have everything you could ever want in pest control

 

[oldjarhead100]

now thats an outdoor grow wish I could do that ,

Topped these Blue Dream'matic same day as my last post and tied them down using a DIY contraption. Am I doing this right? 😅

1 Blue Dream'matic got topped today. I waited a week longer hoping she would get taller but didn't really happen. Nodes are so close I think I gave too much light early on.

Grapefruit and Blackberry praying to the Gods these days:

Photo doesn't really do the colours any justice.

Next wave of Cookies Kush off to a decent start:

And some more blackberry not far behind:

At max allowed capacity now and safe to say I'm addicted to growing. 😜

 

[Spidermite]

Looks good to me.

 

[ReeferMadnezz]

You and I sir, work on a very different scale!

Day 50 - ChemDog - mostly Sativa - 45 inches tall - I left her to grow on her own. She soon grew out of the tent - and is now finally putting on some flowers after that big stretch. All this in a 1 gallon pot.
