Old Grower, New Journey

Hello Overgrow, it’s been almost two decades since I’ve cracked a seed for an indoor grow. It’s also been that long since I was on overgrow. I was a member and moderator here 01-07. Two names I remember are Feral and Badkittysmiles.

I now live in a state which is legal so I have gathered some tools and seed to get this party started.

4x8 and 4x4 tent
Adiding 300w
Adiding 480w
Szhlux 400w
6" Exhaust w filter. Vents both tents

Promix HP Myco
Myco granules
1gal tall pots
3gal fabric pots
5gal buckets
TPS One nutrients

My grow is setup in my dining room. Takes up the whole space. I’m in a one bedroom apt. I need more room but what I have is working good so far. The tents afford me 48sqft. Way more than what I need but hey I’m having fun here…lol
This grow has a lot of firsts. First auto seed, first photos, first tent grow, and most importantly…my first legal grow.

Let’s catch y’all up on what I have going on.

The 4x4 tent has 3 feminized strains in 5gal buckets. This tent is light tight and will always be used for fem seed and regulars. The adiding 480w is in there. Currently growing

LA Amnesia… Paradise Seed
GigaBud… G13 Seed
Chemdawg Millionaire Guava… Garden of Green

Heading into their second week of flower. Seeing a nice stretch and should see a full box with a few weeks.


The 4x8 tent is being used for automatic seed only. It has the 300 and 400w supporting two grows about a month apart. Each set has 4 plants. I’m currently cracking 5 beans for a third set. I’m trying to start new seed every 35-40days to keep a harvest coming every month or so.
This is my first go with autos strains. I have to admit I do like the simple straight forward grow and no worries of light leaks or time restrictions. I like the ability to fill jars with many different flavors.
I’m currently growing…

4 Devil Xxl… I49 Seed
4 Mixed bag… 420Fastbuds

A new batch will emerge soon. All beans are from Carty…a member here.

1 Gabagoo Purp
1 Abagoo
2 Beastmode
1 GDP Carty Pheno

I recently added this small frame to the center of the 4x8 with t5 lamps mounted to start seedlings. I’m pretty excited to get these beans from Carty above ground. Once they get a set of leaves I’ll throw them under the bigger lamps. Once the fems in the 4x4 finish it will be taken down. Facing a move this spring. I’ll move the 480w into the 4x8 and continue with autos till I get set up in the new place.

My first auto grow has been fun so far. Seeing some deficiencies in mid flower but I think I understand what I’ve done.
I use TPS One and it’s formulated to be used the whole grow. In flower I added Signal bud enhancer. Pretty sure I’ve overdosed them. Oh well, I flushed and got things right but the damage is done. I’ll know better next time. One formula and nothing more. Once the TPS nutrient is gone I’ll be going to standard Jacks n jacks flower.

I’m glad to be back here on Overgrow. I hope to meet some friends, share info, and grow weed.

Welcome back to OG! Congrats on getting to legally grow. It’s so nice not having to worry about a knock on the door or helicopters buzzing around outside. Hope you have a great first run back.

Update Autos

The Devil Xxl…I have 4 going. All within a week in age. Oldest just over 7 weeks. They are coming along. This has been my virgin auto seed run and I’ve learned a few things to do and not to do with autos. It’s a wonder they still have leaves since I’ve overfed them a few times. Learning as I go…lol. I do believe they’ve received to much Phosphorus by combining TPS One and TPS Signal. I now realize One is all I need. Nothing else. I do believe a Phosphorus overdoes has caused a lockout of calcium. I’ve since flushed and tried to correct but it is what it is…a learning grow.

These are some of the first budding plant pics of my new journey and it’s been a long long wait.

Auto Update

These are my Mixed bag of seeds from Fastbuds. Wasn’t really sure what I wanted in autos so I bought this variety pack. Not knowing the name of the strain is kinda fun. They are doing well so fare and starting into the flower stretch at roughly 37days.

The auto tent is taking shape these days. Ive moved things in and out over the past month or so. Trying to find what I’m comfortable with and still get the most bud out of the space I have.
Rigged up some t5 2’ lamps to help veg the next bunch of autos. These should be moving into flower in a month or so. By then the larger bunch will be done and I can shuffle some plants and start another lot.

Fems Update

Day64 since breaking ground
Day24 since 12/12
Day17 flowering

I am pleased with the grow so far. One thing I’m not seeing is a big stretch going into flowering. At 14days I thought I’d see more but these act as if they are done with that and setting up to get fat and fill in.
When I put them in the 5gal buckets I had no choice but to damage the roots ripping them from the netpots. Unfortunately I had no choice but to do so. If ida left them in the dwc they would have surely died. I couldn’t control the temps so I had to report into promix.

I do believe I’m going to get some nice bud from them but it appears they will be stunted and not much bigger than a normal large automatic.

Feeding them 1050ppm of the TPS One. Nothing else will be added. Leaf surface is 75-78°. Lamp 100% @ 18". Humidity bumps up to 60% after watering but eases back into 45% in a day. Not to concerned with that. I did a greenhouse grow with constant 95% + once. Ya just gotta keep air moving.

I’ve scrapped the Carty bean grow for now. Gonna put that project to sleep until I get some jars filled.

So for a backup plan I have a dozen photo seeds soaking for a large multi strain grow. I’ll start a new thread for that and just use it for photo grows.

My automatic Devil Xxl is close. Another week or so I’ll start checking her triches. Had some issues with the grow but it’s my first auto grow and I believe I got a little to heavy handed with the nutrients. Oh well, I learn as I go. Sitting back and waiting on these babies. Sucks having all these buds and nothing to smoke yet…ugh the waiting is awful…lol
