OB's First Autos

Indoor Growing Growroom Diaries
1

As it says, I have never tried autos. The two I have chosen for this run are:

I was going to run Dark Devil, but that bean went flying on me. New bag opening protocols have been put in place :expressionless:

I have some of the pollen from my Tropicanna Poison run, so assuming it stays good long enough, I will brush it on to 1 bud on each plant. Havenā€™t messed with controlled pollination either, yet. So we shall see how it goes. Feel free to discuss whatever :smiley:

Totally forgot the deets:
Environment
3x3 TopoGrow tent
Top fed DWC (homemade)
Viparspectra XS2000
have a couple of those CO2 bags in the tent, not sure if they actually help
temp is usually around 68F to 74F.

Nutrients

Have you ever tried it before? I looked it up on seedfinder and it sounds pretty good :slight_smile:

Best of luck on the grow @other_barry
Iā€™ll be curiously watching. I grew some Dinafem photos back a handful of years ago and thought they were pretty dang decent. Hope yours turns out dynomite!:boom:

ā€œOBā€, before it gets too crowded, kindly move that table there, Iā€™m gonna put my old Bean Bag in that corner. Since Autos tend to be ā€œshort runnersā€, I donā€™t wanna take the chance on missing anything. I envision complete success, Bro, SS/BWā€¦mister :honeybee: :100: :pray: :heart_eyes: NOTE: Got a Bag of Ruffles Tater Chips, if interested.

I wish you the best on your first go with autos and the breeding project. Just an FYI, your seeds created will have about 25% chance of showing autoflower traits, itā€™s a possibility but a recessive traitā€‹:v::seedling::green_heart:

I donā€™t know why I didnā€™t take notice of the dried up nutes before I put the tub back together, but hereā€™s hoping I can clean it up with water and elbow grease, so I donā€™t have to risk their safety

We have some real leaves starting to show up to the party. I will probably post a picture when I feed them tomorrow. Speaking of which, I have no idea how to know when to start on the flower nutes with autos. lol. guess I should figure that out before we get there.

@vaportrail I am excited. I have never tried bubblegum before. Moby Dick, either, for that matter.

Iā€™m only on my 7th and 8th auto but I feel like itā€™s pretty easy to tell when to start your flowering nutes. Iā€™d love to know if there is a science to it thou!

You making a stealth cabinet grow? I think those always look so cool. I hope you do a grow log for it.

Iā€™ve been talking about growing for years. One day jokingly told wife that Iā€™m going turn her hutch into a stealth cab. To my surprise she said yes! Have a really cool neighbor that turned me onto this site and help screw couple bulbs in and put it together, soil and starter seeds and all. Figured be a good stepping stone for learning about the plant more and how itā€™s life cycle is. All crammed into 70 days and less room for error. Just got my tent and inline fan delivered. buying some strips to build a light then will play with some photos in it but I have a feeling Iā€™ll always have a sweet spot for them. Espically since the neighborly sensei prefers landraces and photos to give a little bit of diversity to the neighbor Hood! I have a grow log for the first set of plants I startedā€¦ That I desperately need to update today. Lol once I get the new tent all together and filled up Iā€™m going start a new one to keep running for the whole year between the two spaces!
