GreeeeNs Auto AK Grow

[aridbud]

Exactly why some basic research into what you are buying is needed. Find out the breeders home forum and see if you can find out when the next seed drops are coming or when the last one did.

So very true, S_a_H!!!! However commercial seed banks don't always have blog/forum to find out particulars or rotating stock.

Happened only once on Seedbay(before I learned about ICMAG...probably 5 yrs ago)...buying autos that did not perform/germ...nada. Probably round out the hand...4 other strains bought elsewhere were not viable.

Those are pretty low odds compared to strains that popped, making hybrids, etc.

GreeeeN will prosper, I'm sure!! Notating what was done (to give negative result) and changing it for more stable environment....it's all in the learning curve!

popped the other 10 i got as replacement and 7 germ and they all look like there going to make it above soil anyway, we will wait and see what happens after that. the cotyledon leaves seem very small im not sure if i am been over paranoid after the last run but they seem healthy.

germed them the very same way as last time, only thing i did different is i started them in my small 4" pots with no perlite, i think maybe adding to much perlite in the 7L pots the last time maybe was my down fall. i know people do this all the time but i dont and maybe i wasnt feeding them or doing the right things to get them going.

ill put pics up when there is something to look at at the moment there just about 2" tall and loosing there shell

thanks Aridbud for the vote of confidence i hope there ok. the two photo periods im growing along side them are vegging a while now and there getting so big i think they will become monsters in flower. there the back up if these fail again.

Jk... lol dont second guess urself so much bro...
If youve been growing for a few years and have grown at least 5 or 6 crops to maturity I seriously doubt it was anything you did. It certainly wasnt starting them in too large of a pot.. AF's r still cannabis, take real care when transplanting, and next time you run AF's, stick w/ ur original plan and go straight into the container you plant finish in.
Deep breath bro.. keep it simple.. read the plant and trust your intuition.. U got this bro

 

[GreeeeN GRassss]

ha ha thanks greenthumb yes i have had numerous crops to maturity but its the story of my life second guessing myself all the time.

yes deep breaths in and out in and out i need a good talking to

Hey GreeeeN-
How's the re-do project? Hopefully you worked out the snafu's. Look forward to hearing about your progress. ;o)

 

[GreeeeN GRassss]

hey aridbud, ye the re-do is going alot better. 7 are growing there nearly 2 weeks old and they are already 3 times the size of the last runts.

ill stick some pics up when things start to get a little more interesting. so far so good

i know more light the better for autos but how well do you think they would do in 12/12? i started to flower my photos because of space issues but i think ill be getting alone of a bigger tent so might try flowering them all together.

 

[aridbud]

Keep the autos @ 18/6 through out. They'll be stunted by 12/12

 

[GreeeeN GRassss]

would 12 hrs of a 200watt CFL be any benefit then ill put them in with the 600 watt for the other 12hrs ?

 

[GreeeeN GRassss]

they are around 2 1/2 weeks from seed popping. running out of room fast lol

 

[aridbud]

Seems like a lot of work moving plants from one area to another. 12/12 here....12/12 there. Maybe you have more energy....and chances of dropping, breaking stems....do what you want.

I always say, "work smarter, not harder"....wait!! Someone else coined that phrase! ;o)

To sum it up...autos with 12 hr. indoor light...you'll be kicking yourself @ harvest. Any type of indoor lighting cannot mimic (fully) the intensity of el sol.

 

[GreeeeN GRassss]

the plan was to run the first autos in with my other 3 photo plants veg the photos 18/6 while the autos done their thing, but since the first batch did not grow for what ever reasons that has set me back quite a bit. the photo plants were getting very big so i had no choice but to flower them.

i dont mind the work its only for 8+ weeks just my plan did not work out the way i wanted it to. its not the way i like to do things but needs must.

i have been experimenting with cloning in pure coco and in water and they all look like they will root. getting larger tent this week i hope and ill fill that to.

 

[agito]

get them transplanted before its to late

 

[GreeeeN GRassss]

cool man ill get them transplanted tomoro, i have the pots ready to go just need to get them in.

 

[GreeeeN GRassss]

i transplanted them but my tent is full now there's 7 autos in with everything else

 

[agito]

A full tent is a happy tent...Maybe lol

 

[GreeeeN GRassss]

well its better than an empty one anyway
