161 watts easyryder grow in a pc

[BC Chronic]

Hey Paranoid one!! I have 2 threads on different forums because I need to learn about auto flowering plants too. Not a big deal at all..and since its a pc grow, micro fits right in too..
Its miracle grow soil, thats why its crappy!?... Now that there is a hydro store in town, I can get better soil next time..I am using all oraganic ferts too bro...would'nt have it any other way...
Thanks arcticjake for stopping in...It is alot of fun growing in something so small..good way to learn for sure..
Thanks all

Another reason I put my thread here is no one was really checking out my grow in the micro forum...probably because its an auto flower but I really like autoflowering buds..really fascinating if you think about it..
If you are out there Roortokeage, I don't have any way to test any ph at all till my tester shows up....I do have those drops and found out my water was 5.5! UGH...
everything seems okay now though...

 

[Paranoid one]

Oh wells it's kewl with me! I really enjoy following grows.

1 quick question.

What is the point of auto flowering?
I get the part that there is no need to veg it.

 

[Roortokeage]

Dude the plant looks 1000 times better. WOW what a diff. See how she is Perked up??? I call that Uber Boner!! LOL Basically it is getting perfect light, heat and the plant is loving the soil.

NOW Did you just give her water????

You said you had PH drops right???? SOOO DO THIS BUDDY,. NEXT TIME YOU FLUSH COLLECT RUN OFF!!!! We then put the drops in the runoff water, and then you can tell me the PH of your soil. Also What is the PH of the Water and the Feed you give the plant?? It should be at 6.3 to 6.5 EVERYTIME.

Let me know what you have done in the past few days buddy. Take a look at my Grow. They are BOOMING!

Why autos... Well because they take 9-11 weeks from seed to Finish. So I have Bud in 2 months while you have bud in 4. Also if you dont have the grow space like others, and need stuff to be " Stealthy " They are good plants. Also if you are not selling the stuff and are using for head stash, why do u need a big plant? I rather have a few Diff type of small ones. Catch my drift?

 

[Paranoid one]

Ah ok, thanks roor!
And what do you mean more stealthy? Like stealthy in time which it takes to grow compared to regular seeds which need veg/flower bulbs and time periods?

In otherwords "Auto flowering seeds are better for stealth grows because it takes less time to grow."

Now, is there a differance for yeild and smoke in A.F. Seeds vs regular seeds?
Is wattage still 100-120 watts for a mid tower pc case be good match for an A.F. Seed?

Thanks

 

[BC Chronic]

Thanks guys for dropping in...
Yeah, it does look better...I have found out that the water I used was 5.5 this whole time!UGH...I checked the runoff(with the drops) and it was 6.5 or so..
I will check out your grow tonight bro..Thanks alot for your help..means alot you know..
Autoflowers are the perfect plant for pc or micro grows..in my opinion..the new strains are getting taller too..like sour 60 for example..I have train wreck seeds, AK48, skunk/haze and a few more to grow but I still have 4 easyryders which I will do first..they are really cool plants..
Hope to hear from you all soon...Merry Christmas everyone..

autoflowers have like a 2-3 week Veg period Max!! then it AUTOmatically starts to Flower. Even if you leave the light at 24/0. The yield is not as big as a Reg plant, but can be massive. I got 1 oz off a 10" plant. As far as wattage, you want 100 watts for the first plant and 50 for every other plant. The smoke can be amazing or shit. depending how you grow.

How can your soil Be 6.5 PH if you have been feeding it 5.5 PH water?? That cannot be correct. I would check that again buddy. Also what soil are you using?? Let it dry out again. Nice dry, Then let me see the plant. How many days in flowering are we? and how many days do we have left?

 

[BC Chronic]

Hey Roortokeage..
In answer to your question(s), Maybe the ferts gave it that reading? I don't know but that was the reading..you do have to remember I have been using those ph drops in a tiny little vial...that could be a reason...
Miracle Grow Premium soil with slow release ferts...remember me complaining about it?!
Awful stuff for autoflowers..The soil is on its way already to being very dry..it only takes 3 days tops to dry down very deep...161 watts with 29-31 humidity will do it..serious, 3 days and its bone dry..
I should feed it this time should't I? It has been flushed twice now...
I do have a Hanna ph tester coming but that could be weeks considering its Christmas..
Its 2 and a half weeks in to flowering so its got 30 days left or so..its day 40 now from seed..
You are a great member for your help and I promise to visit your thread soon..I have been really busy that I don't visit any threads right now but I will ASAP...
Peace and Merry Christmas

 

[Paranoid one]

thanks for the info roor!

I kinda knew the part about the smoke I just though autos might be different.

I really like auto flowering now. Something I'll need to keep in mind when I purchase my batch of seeds.

Do you know any good strains and who sells them on seed boutique?

Edit: ohbhey bc, posted a minute later than you... Do you know any good strains?

 

[BC Chronic]

hey Paranoid one!
Man, there are lots of decent strains now..EasyRyder is good..Sour 60 Check around online at some seed banks to read up on a few of the strains but be careful because many say they are autoflowering but are'nt..
Ice Cold Crickets , Mdanzig have threads that maybe you could asy too..
Hope this helps

 

[Paranoid one]

Yeah thanks!

I was checking out mdanzigs seeds earlier today. A bit to expensive. But I bet they are worth every coin.
I was looking for a loweyder which has sativa like smell (nirvana papaya is one iwas eye balling).

You said you have a hydro store in town correct? You should buy better soil for your next grow.

MD has Sour 60 and Bluestreak. Then there's Auto-Ak and Desiel Ryder. Buddha has FEM White Dwarf and Red Dwarf, they are pretty good.

Their are many others, those were just a few true auto's that I remember from seedboutique.

Hey man I see you dont know what you are doing or what you need to do in order to keep that plant alive. So lets have a little class.

When we go to get PH we are looking to see how ACIDIC or BASED the soil is. SO when you put your nutes in the soil buddy, it will make it more ACIDIC! meaning PH goes Down below 6.3. Now When you collect run off buddy. You just want water. No dirt or grime, just water. Then you put in your vial, drop 4 drops in it shake and boom you get a color. Now if you have been feeding it nutes, the way you sed. the soil should be reading in the 5.5 level. Now if it does you need to flush your plant with 7.0 water! That will bring up the Lime, and the perilite in the soil, bringing the soil back to its normal state. Then we can use LITE NUTES 1/4 Teaspoon.

Miracle Grow Slow release is bad becuase You cant regulate the soil and the nutes inside are tooo strong for a Baby plant. It is good soil, you need to know what you are doing and use it for the correct type of plant.

As far as Feeding bro, It all depends on the plant. And how the plant shows me what it needs. When I say Flush that soil bro, You need to A) Figure out how much soil you have. Then B) Multiply that by 3. That is how many gallons of water need to be ran thru the soil. That is a FLUSH! Then when it drys up you can then recheck the PH level of the soil. Then C) if the soil is good to go, then we can the next day try a little small dose of nutes and see how she likes it. You cant just say I watered the plant this day and that day, now its time for nutes. The plant really will tell you what she needs. I have not used any nutes in my grow Until week 3, and it was super small.

Just look at the name of the plant WEED. How does a weed grow in your back yard? Or at the school yard. Just think about it buddy. If you can just get your head in books, or in peoples journals. there is a alot of information that is handed out that no ones knows about online. You can find just about anything these days. Well Post some more pics, and get me pics of the whole plant, The more the merrier. Ill post a video of my Tent. Give you an idea.

 

[BC Chronic]

I don't have a ph tester fro the hundreth time..sheesh.. meaning I can't test the water properely going in or coming out to get a proper ph reading....I am aware the soil needs to be 6.5 or so..I have flushed it twice completely..meaning I have tripled the amount of water going through the soil with just plain tap water..I had no other options than the miracle grow soil..thats why I asked if I should feed it now but the plant is happy right now...the soil is almost bone dry down 4 inches and I only have 5-6 inches of soil..
Thanks

 

[BC Chronic]

thanks Roortokeage for your help bro..I am stressed about the plant too but its getting better..Until my ph tester comes, I can't do a darn thing ..when the soil is flushed, all sorts of dirt comes through to get any reading..UGH

DO YOU REMEMBER SAYING THIS???? OR WERE YOU TOTALLY STONED!!!!

 

[Roortokeage]

Get me pics of your soil and the plant. The more the merrier, you see how I take pics, thats how we want to see your plant. Now when I say flush bro, Lets say you have 3 gallons of soil. You need to flush that plant with 9 gallons of plain 7.0 water. That does not mean you do it once with 3 gallons and then again with 3 more. YOU DO ALL 9 IN ONE SHOT!!! That will bring up the Lime, and the Perilite in the soil back to where it is suppose to be, then you can add nutes later on when the plant is better.

As you see dude, you listend and look at hte plant, from drooping to a Boner. Cmon now

 

[BC Chronic]

thanks..the problem with all my readings(except the filtered water) is that I can't be sure if the runoff was what I said..with soil in it and whatever else..I only have 1 gallon of soil TOPS so 3 gallons to flush again?..right? I will do that then post pics..as many as you want bro!
I have been doing all sorts of Christmas stuff for my mom and my daughter so its very hard for me right now to be quick on the pics..
I didn't mean to come across mad or anything, its just very hectic around here and I have'nt had any time to check out my plant and some of your help just gets mixed up with all the other things I have been doing..sorry..I am new to micro grows and its alot different than regular grows..
I should have bought a ph tester way before I started this grow..
To get to the point, thank you very much and sorry for being a scatter brain right now..
