So this is my diary/journal, ever. So we will get to the details I am running a spectrum king 400+, 120degree angle with no dimmer in a 80x80CM tent. Alongside that I’m using a 6” Hydrolab silent mixed flow inline fan(which is far from silent) with a 6” RAM desk fan for added airflow.
This run so far I have one Sensi Seeds Pure Power Plant feminised automatic. Looking to get her some friends but for now she’s on her own in there
So what I’m using for her, she’s in coco husk brand is CANNA Coco professional plus so using chemical feed. CANNA A+B, Rhizotonic, Boost accelerator, PK 13/14 and the one exception I use is advanced nutrients big bud. This will be followed to the CANNA feed chart but making my own adaptation as it’s auto not photo.
She’s a little underfed but I was running in a drobe with some heat issues at first as a new project and I also bought that SK400+ for this new project which was overkill and it was ruining my life briefly so had kind of given up before I just stuck to what I knew and put her in a tent that doesn’t have 12mm of warm wood insulating everything
So as I stated in the title this is my first ever journal/diary type deal must admit am a little hesitant posting this kind of thing so will do my best to keep the OG community informed!!
Don’t be afraid to post on here… There are many wise individuals on here that not only can help you but will appreciate your posts…
Different growing mediums/environments produce different results and experiences which can be helpful to others in the Overgrow community.
I was the same way, being hesitant about posting, because I am a old newbie when it comes to growing, but the more I have read on here, the more I want to try different things with what I have.
Thank you for your kind words fella, been doing this for about 18 month first time running an LED light with an auto in such a small pot, forgot to mention it’s a 12L fabric pot. I’m used to running 30-40L fab pots with 600W HPS. Any input on these autos is much appreciated.
No problem with the kind words, you will receive many here on OG. I have absolutely 0 % experience with Autos, other than to direct you to @ReikoX’s threads. From what I have read, he is a wealth of info on autos as well as many other things.
Likewise I’ve ran a few different strains from there for photos that have always popped no problem but it is the first time with an auto and in the beginning I did not have an ideal environment for it so here on in it will get what it needs.
She’s looking a lot healthier now she’s got the right light. Looked a bit like she was going to die before but we’ve got that sweet greenery back in her so happy days for now. I have ordered a mixed pack of autos from Royal Queen to get my girly some friends in there. Looks so lonely all on her own.
Keep popping those seeds! Looking forward to see her grow, I’ve got a 2day old seed and still learning how much water to give. I’ve got a problem with overfeeding and killing my girls, so looking forward to pick up some tips along the way!
We use the same Coco…is that perlite mixed up with it? I was tempted to add some to my mix, but just using pure coco.
Haha we have all been there buddy I don’t mind giving you some advice though if you ever need it. I would say just take it easy on feed early doors. Like for instance not sure what nutes you’re using but I use CANNA. When I put a seed in I water with 0.5ML of rhizotonic which is a root booster. Just to ease her into the swing of things. No other feeds for atleast the first week.
And in reply to the perlite it is perlite but this is the first time I’ve actually bothered adding it in I ran it without plenty and it’s same but it’s supposed to help hold moisture for the roots and add to aeration but never used it til now so no idea
I should really just sprout 2 seeds at a time. Last time one died i left it in the tent as a warning to the other. She really stepped it up and turned into a nice size.
Let me know how you like perlite being added to your coco. I may give it a go down the road.
Well she looks happier in her new environment she’s got a little nute burn thanks to a late night stoner feed aka too stoned to do simple mathematics
For some apparent reason I’m having issues with humidity as well doesn’t seem to matter how much I spray the tent down or close up air holes etc I have a humidifier next to it but I can’t seem to get over 40% RH in there.
A bucket/bowl of water in the corner of the tent with the air intake passing directly over the top of it works well. Hang a few towels over the support bars and soak them each day with water also helps
Aware of the towel trick but super paranoid about my shit collapsing that SK is like 10KG but you’re onto a good one there with bucket/bowl don’t know why I haven’t done that prolly too much overthinking the problem but Sound mate will deffo give that a shot
So we’re a little over a week in since I started the journal. She’s been getting CANNA rhizotonic, A+B. She’s still gotta wait another week til I give her another dose of superthrive.
As you will be able to see anyway she is recovering nicely to say I nute burned her but to be honest I did realise straight away and I did flush her the morning after I had fed her the overdose so it could have been worse
Anyway I did order a mixed pack of auto Feminized seeds last week from Royal Queen seeds buuut I am still waiting 7 days later but they do state it could take upto 15 days so I won’t cry too much
Day 10: thinking of moving my light but she’s not yet had another feed since my last post so later today she’s due another feed of rhizotonic full strength and A+B at 2ml pl. But she’s coming on nicely.
On another note still waiting for these auto seeds, I am a very impatient person but god damn they’re taking forever bag seed on the other hand is just starting to poke out!
So I ended up doing a couple things today, moved the SK up about 10” higher in the tent because as you’ll see my node spacing is super tight and did a bit of LST with the auto.
but you’re onto a good one there with bucket/bowl don’t know why I haven’t done that prolly too much overthinking the problem but Sound mate will deffo give that a shot
