The Vault’s Skywalker Auto Comparative Grow - in association with Mephisto Genetics

[UniDragon]

guys im using 12 on 5.5 off 1on 5.5 off light scheudle any of you using this ?
@whitebb2727 maybe you ?

can it be cause of slow growth

My guess, and again this is only a guess, is that you have found your problem: I think it may be the light cycle. I would recommend a straight 18/6 cycle. I know that works because my current project, the very project that I am trying to finish before going on to the Skywalker project, was done in exclusively 18/6 throughout the entire grow. Somewhere on RIU, sorry I don't remember exactly where I read it or what the title of it is, there is a thread about the best light cycles for autos. Whoever this person is, they claimed that they have tried all kinds of different light cycles from 24/0 to 12/12 and found that they got the best results from using a straight 18/6 cycle throughout the entire grow. He or she goes on and on with facts about plant growth and how plants develop in certain light cycles. If you look for it and can't find it let me know and I will see if I can dig it up for you.

Good luck!

I'm still waiting for mine to arrive!

Wonder if customs got'em in Chicago.... All you sharing internet photo freaks have GOT to stop taking pictures of what you got and the contents of the package!
If you think the alphabet boys aren't looking to see who's sending and getting what....Your foolish!
Oh, look, it's a package that contains "clothing" from a "suspected" or listed no-no shipper! X-ray time! Oh look! Suspected contraband! Open and confiscate! Place person on "list", retape with customs tape and send it along!

Idiots!

Hey I'm in indiana mine go thru Chicago no problem, sometimes it takes quite a while 7 to 10 days, and about the shipping the Fed's know how company's send seeds you don't think some pencil pusher sits on his computer and orders seeds to see the different shipping techniques I'm sure they have ordered from every seed bank that ships to the states more than once.

they probly grew it and smoked it too

I'm hoping with michigan and Illinois having medical Indiana will follow soon this being sneaky over a plant is absolutely ridiculous,

 

[Roger A. Shrubber]

they're trying to get it on the ballot here, and even then i'd still have to be careful, i live right next to a national park, have to go through a 5 mile stretch of it to get to the next town over, if you get possession in town, its 100 bucks, if you get possession in the park, its 380 bucks...don't ask me how i know that

I use 19/5. 18+ hours of light is good to go.

What you are currently using is gas latern routine. Main use is with photoperiod plants and commercial greenhouse operations. For flowers and whatnot.

It is a good routine to grow a photoperiod plant if temps or electric use is a problem.

 

[whitebb2727]

Three bills here. Maybe next year one will pass.

 

[Levradus]

@UniDragon i had one photoperiod plant in there thats why i was using GLR now I will change 18+

 

[Lisa martinez]

Sorry guys i have been real busy but here is a quick update the one on the right is the skywalker the one on the left is the heisenberg. I have about two more weeks then i'm going to plant three more of the skywalkers so i can do a true side by side comparison.

Here-here! The Texas state government is just as bad! They are living proof that The Zika virus has been around for centuries; they are a bunch of big headed, small minded retards that have absolutely no consideration for anyone but themselves. Yes, Texas does have a "medical marijuana bill" but it is only in a injectable form and it is only useful for people with epilepsy. That's beneficial to like 0.1 of 1% of the people who could actually benefit from it. The reason for that is that the Texas state government found a way to pay off all of their friends and allow them to make a ton of money by developing this injectable CBD(?) oil. Look at what happened to California after they introduced their medical marijuana bill: a ton of people went back to work, because they got what they needed to go to work and sustain a working career, which generated a ton of payroll taxes; the medical benefits that the state had to pay out plummeted and sales tax skyrocketed; not to mention the fact that like half of the state population felt a whole lot better physically/mentally.

The real drag about the Illinois mmj program is that nobody can afford it! Illinois only passed the bill to generate money, and that's it. Oh, and get this, if you have a prior conviction of possession, you are automatically disqualified! What kind of sense does that make? Any eighth grader, special needs or not, would tell you that if you were caught with mmj that you had it only because it made you feel better. Hopefully, if Indiana passes a mmj law that they would follow in the footsteps of Colorado or what will be Pennsylvania, or at least that is what I have read.

Sorry about the rant, I am just really passionate about mmj, because I am living proof that it works.

Right now I am living in one of the east coast southern Bible belt states and we can't even get it on the ballet. But we will continue to fight !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, the thing is, It's 20 days and nothing. I've been in the game long enough to suspect confiscation......Not even my friend greenthumb takes this long.....

Weelll, Guess I'll make a cpl a calls and get some SSSDH and fill that space.

We have mmj on the ballot here in Florida. Sheldon Adleson just handed our opponents $1 million. That sucks for us as we are really a grassroots movement. But we are fighting back and raising money. If you know anyone in Florida make sure they are registered to vote and make sure they vote Yes On 2!

Pretty much everyone that i know that lives in your neck of cyberspace is a pothead so you can count on at least them to support 2; not to confused with #2...LOL!

Hey a new slogan: "Vote yes on 2 because pot is the sh..."

Man 20 days would concern me as well. That sucks, good luck my friend hope they come thru..

Bought a 600w HPS/MH air cooled hood, dimmable digital ballast today. Going to pop my Skywalkers this weekend in paper towels and plant them in jiffy cubes.

Will probably veg them for the first 2 weeks in the small cabinet with 23w cfls, then conitue veg when they have some size with the 350w of T5 cfls, then flower them with the 600hps (2x4x5 grow space)

High hopes for these autos

ps - If you think customs agents have it out for cannabis seeds your crazy, think of how much other things they are also combating at the border. Weapons, people, pills, stolen goods, reeady for resale drugs, fake documentation, people trying to claim less value to avoid tax (millions of packages going through ports and terminals daily, how much are they making on taxing all these goods and packages right?)

Them taking your cannibas shirt and throwing your seeds in the incinerator bin isnt making there department any money. They like making money taxing things.

Respectfully I'd have to disagree with this thinking, Customs agents/offices don't care about taxes, they care about quotas and funding. These mail order seizures are a cheap, easy way to pump up numbers and make your office look productive, much like cops use low income minorities to look "tough on crime" and get more funding for jails and police depts...

Anyone with a few overseas orders can verify that they do indeed snap your seeds up and send the parcel on with a nasty sticker on it, but you still get the shirt

Coco buddy doin fine

hempy buddy doin well
soil not so well...i popped the last seed today to replace this one in the grow, i'm going to try to keep this one growing, but who knows how long it'll take to catch up, maybe quick enough to make it worthwhile, maybe not....maybe not at all.
when the new seed pops up its going into coco till its got 4 or 5 sets of leaves and a few roots, then its just getting water till it needs something. everything miracle gro makes is crammed full of their crap fertilizer, even fucking perlite. MGO is just as bad in my opinion, i mixed it about 70/30 perlite and flushed it good twice before i put this seedling in it and it still fucked it up, almost killed it.

i'm feeding it 150 ppm nutes till it either takes off or keels over
