Big Devil#1 Help!

[Tommy G]

Hi again!

Yes, autoflowering plants will always do better with 18/6 than with 12/12 or even 14/10. They will probably produce a bit more and the flowers will be more compact.

I would leave it with 14/10 just for another 5 days and then every 5 days I would increase it 1 hour.

Cheers!!

Ok Great! Thanks a lot. I will start increasing by 1 hour starting monday.

Day 56 Update! The buds are starting to fill out a bit more, what do you think?

Think I should add my top shooter this saturday? ( or wait until next?)

Here are some pics. The last two are of the smaller girl

Hello my friend!

I think that all is going as expected now. It seems like a very sativa pheno that will take a while to finish, but now things are back on track.

Yes, you can start with the booster this saturday, but start with half the dosage and then next saturday you increase to almost the full dosage.

Good luck and keep us updated.

Sweet smokes!

I honestly don't remember. I bought them over a year ago in pack of 10. I think they came from some vault like site.

I am happy now that things are on track and looking good. Will keep you posted.

 

[deeppurple87]

I think vertical maybe?

 

[Tommy G]

Hi again my friend!

If it really was bought over a year ago then it can't be Big Devil F1 FV as it was released only in the spring of 2014. And this is our only non-auto Big Devil strain.

So it was an auto for sure and our auto packages are horizontally printed

Question solved Keep us updated!

Day 62 Update
I switched the lights from 15-9 to 16-8. last night.

I also added H&gs finishing nutrient shooting powder (top shooter in gel form)
and upped the terpinator. The buds are starting to form some crystals

Here are some pics. How much longer do you think until I can harvest some of the tops?

would It stress them too much just to go to 18-6 in a couple days?

Thanks again!

Why don't you just go 12 12 shity like this is why people avoid auto s. Sounds like you should drop the shooter this and learn how to use your base nutes until you get a better handle on growing. Most of the snake oil crap is just a drain on the wallet with little to no benefit. It's a psychological move nute companies use to separate you from your cash.

I have read awesome stuff about it.

I am increasing my lighting, because Tommy G a sweet seeds vendor said i Should. They should know more about their seeds and how they flower than anybody.

Learn how to use my base nutes? Dude look at my plants, they are beasts. Ya they are taking a little while, but look at them now!

 

[deeppurple87]

I got the base nutes down. Trying to learn how to use them to max advantage this grow.

 

[packerfan79]

All I'm saying is that you don't need a bunch of bottles to grow bomb AAA grade herb.I had my best round yet with 3 bottles feeding half what I used to.nute guys are marketing major s not horticultural specialist. If they didn't sell nuts they would sell cars or real estate or bud whatever pays it's about separating you from your money.

 

[deeppurple87]

I have always just followed H&G DWC feed chart for feedings, but
I finally got a ppm meter. I am using some new nutes so I want to checkup on whats going on in the res.

I read my pseudo-filtered tap water at 333 ppm. (I have been using the whole grow)

I just checked my res and its at 1100ppm. last water change was saturday eve, so 2 nights ago. the way I figure It has 800 ppm after 2 days so I am right in the perfect zone.

correct?

 

[deeppurple87]

1100-300=800 **

Day 69 update

Amazing! The nutes seem to be working great! A lot of crystal formation. I have so many crystally colas.

here are a few pics. Notice I am shooting upwards in the first shot and I am 5'10!

How much longer you thinking???

 

[deeppurple87]

sorry here are the pics

 

[Tommy G]

Cheers!

Yep, looking very nice, thanks for the update

I'd say maybe 3 or 4 weeks, which means that I think the flowers will get even bigger and fatter

Keep us updated and sweet smokes!
