Cheese Auto

Hi! This is my auto-cheese thread. Here you can see germinating seeds, it took them only 20 hours to pop:dance013:. So I prepared pots (11l each) and my baby do a fine mixture of soil , sand and perlite. I will be back soon with actualization..
 
I am back with the actualization. All the girls have their final 11 liter pots and they start to grow rapidly. It is five days from the germ. . I found some more seeds which i added to the box. This is my selection of Skunk Nr.1 and some no-names, I plan to remove them out in May.

Here they are after another week. I´m starting to use Advanced Nutrients ferts. I give them some beneficial bacteria of Voodoo juice and some basic nutes from Sensi Grov A + B. I use only 1ml from each bottle per litre and they looks like they like it:woohoo:

You don't want to OVER fertilize, esp. in veg stage. What you are using is adequate....alternating with plain water in between amendments.

B-52 is usually used in hydro set ups.

Since you probably already have it, use it diluted during your bloom phase. Last few weeks, strictly water to wash out any nutrient build up in soil and plants.

Nothing worse that smoking your product that leaves your tongue/mouth tingling because nutrients were still in plant source. Yuck!
 
Thank you aridbud for your advice. I have no experience with B-52. You are right, I definitely don´t want more chem. in my smoke ! I am going to change the nutes with the plain water :)

You can use amendments (nutrients) for grow and usually in bloom, if you want bigger, more vibrant buds....however, towards the end, use only water.

Some people "flush" meaning overly water towards the end. I just back off the last few weeks and use water to "detox" the soil and plant of any nutrients.
 
Hi all! Here is a quick update. Girls are now 35 cm large and 25cm tall. Side branches are almost at the main top level. I have a few other genetics started at the same time in the place, so on the photo i signed the four of them (autocheese) with numberes. :tiphat:

Looking wonderful....;o) Nooooo! Don't remove leaves....they take care of the plant O2 & CO2....autos will naturally defoliate towards the end. If you pluck leaves....being a short growing plant (as far as days)....it will slow down progress.
 
Thank you aridbut! I never defoliate plants even regulars, only have seen some def. autos here in the auto section, so I had to ask :)

You've got it going on....because of the ruderalis gene, the plant itself, towards harvest....fan leaves, secondary leaves turn yellow as plant is busting at the seams trying to make the bud to optimum stage of budding before dying (reason why you cannot clone).

No, I've never ASKED the plant....just observation of 300+ auto plants doing their own "talking". I just watch and listen!!:dance013:

I have no experience w/ dwc....go to that forum to ask. Wish I could help you but out of my realm...I do soil only....because it's easy, not troublesome like hydro, cocoa, dwc.

Good luck!

Sorry. I haven't been paying attention....ok....soil. Could be pH....7 for water a bit high. Back off on nutrients....autos do not need much (if any) in veg stage providing you have good soil.
