2nd auto with the old reliable Phototron!

Alright so I have to admit that I’m sorry for the journal lacking UPDATES LoL unfortunately I have a broken cell phone and it happened 2-3 weeks ago and I’m still fighting with AT&T and I have insurance on my plan pay for it every FU***NG month and they want me to pay a $200 deductible for my samsung galaxy s10e and I have $97 until it’s paid off and it’s supposed to be $40 to replace it and it’s not from dropping or abuse especially since I have an otterbox case and here’s what the battery is doing to it and this is no joke I swear it’s from the battery swelling and even cracked the otterbox case scary and I can’t send it in the mail because it’s a safety issue but yet they still won’t budge and I’d be paying off and using straight talk

and. yuppers and I will have updated pictures in about an hour sorry all finally got a older phone and it has a shitty camera but at least I can use it for now thanks for the patience my apologies The Doc

Then I have no phone and here’s April 20th, 22nd and 24th … Sorry I was keeping everything else notes and specifics of what soil is and all that good stuff so here’s those 3 pics of the Skywalker day 6

day 8 and day 10 and it’s been a frustrating and yet good experience for me and I have already noted that I will NOT be transplanting the next plant and it’s amazing how these suckers grow very much low maintenance and it’s been 20 hours lights on and 4 hours off decided to go with that light schedule for this time and see. All new experiences and I am definitely going to figure them out so it’s in a 1.8 gallon pot I couldn’t find my other 2.5 gallon but unfortunately I didn’t get the 2 and 3 gallon fabric ones in the mail yet but I’m glad to be where I’m at at least I think!?

Just a heads up…

When the battery packs start doing that, they become a potential fire hazard. Drain it and handle with care.

Cheers

Taking a seat for this one! What a blast from the past, at one time I had three Phototron units, I am glad to see these units are still out there and getting good use!

And I just started my second Auto fem (Double Grape x 3Bear’sOG) x CDLC cross and it’s just starting week 3 and it’s definitely not the same growth rate as the first one but I probably stunted it because I found it on its side in the phototron the morning of day 6 and I got it back but it’s definitely affected by it and it’s taking off now but should be twice as big and it’s in a 2 gallon pot instead of the last one in a 1.4 gallon pot so I don’t know if it’s even worth it but I’m going to see Happy Growing The Doc

Update after a little bit of H2O and

and the fun part aka pain in the ass sometimes but maybe some smooth tunes will slow her down and not flower up yet but she won’t listen…bitch…lol just messing around no pun intended Happy Growing The Doc also got rid of the bottom set of 3 fingers wilting from the others but they’re just suckers so I snipped them this morning to and it was okay with it and hopefully help it push up and it’s going outward nicely and I just need a little more height and I intend to use Dr Earth flower girl blossom booster and anyone else use with Auto’s in flower or just let it ride!?

pre-flowers are pushing up through the canopy and it’s starting to stretch the last two days and it’s already giving off a nice sweet fruity smell but she’s coming along nicely The Doc

Looks Indica…I have one of my big Phototron in the shop getting worked on by a buddy of mine who is an electrician…I told him it might just be a loose wire or a ballast problem…anyway looking good Dr G…I have one of my small Phototron in use right now sexing some new strains.

Here’s my (Double Grape x 3 Bears OG) x CDLC Day 60 putting the frost on now and bud’s starting to stack up and by far the densest buds I’ve grown yet so far I’m really happy with the grow and I have to go over the ballast and wires after this one is done just to make sure everything is ok plus I have to do some cleaning so might as well do both !

A couple of days later and it’s looking like about 15-20 days til it’s done give or take but it’s really up to the plant to tell me she’s done with the trichomes but it’s also got an amazing sweet,berry and floral aroma and the stem rub is just glorious :crazy_face: and I’ve never had a plant that has more fruit and floral aroma usually I have a more diesel, rubber, and hint of citrus but that is just the difference in strains. I’m getting excited for the chop day and I haven’t grown up anything yet that’s got several golfball and mini clubs that are so dense and chunky, big difference between my first 4 grows that were airy and foxtailing in the last two weeks but hopefully it will keep stacking and for a 2½ foot tall auto I’m stoked! And I have used no nutrients fertilizers or supplements throughout the whole grow not one bit of an I’m surprised because she’s been chugging along and I understand that I will have some better plants in the long haul but I’m just trying to figure out growing and then I’ll be using some calmag and some blossom booster for the next grow and I just wanted to ease into it and BTW I am growing this one up in "better organics"miracle-gro and I know that it’s not recommended but it’s what I had available and it was free but the next step is also using a actual soil for plants I’m probably going to try happy frog easy to get and not to $$ any input on soil is encouraged or brands of soil. Here’s the girl
