i've done 1/4...and 1/2 ...both were fine and plants were happy....1/1 (full strength) is the one where i showed the problem... so i have gone 1/2 strength on the bloom and 1/4 on the grow (as they need a little N), after just water for 2 feeds

hopefully over the worst... i guess we'll soon find out as i've fed them now.... :-)

I really recommend the Plant Magic mate, my ladies are loving it :) and you only need the one rather than two as with the Bio stuff.

I couldn't resist a little peek earlier and I've got a seed popped! woo! I'll get a better look later when lights are on ;)

Fruit Punch :) It's the one I'm really looking forward to.

Plant Magic, old timer range;
http://www.plant-magic.co.uk/products/oldtimer.html

This stuff is designed around the UK water supply to maximise what's already in the water and specific micro organisms that love it. Or summin like that lol
Even my local hydro guy recommends this, over the other hundred brands he had in the shop!
Because you only need the one (either the grow or the bloom) it works out loads cheaper at £10 per litre bottle. Another bonus is you don't have to keep second guessing the mix between veg and bloom juice as they've done it for you :)

*This stuff also comes recommended by another mate of mine. He lived in Cali for ages making commercial high grade and he swears by it*

I'm not entirely sure just yet as I'm still working out the flaws in this grow. I'll probably let it do what it wants to be honest. But when I get clones from it, I'm going to try the FIM technique to see what that does- I've heard good things about it ;)
As for the height, I'll just tie down the main stem and hope for the best. The LST work I did before is going to be far too difficult to keep up with with three/four different strains going.
Flip side; May be better off doing LST to keep them all under control... Gots to see what gives when they get large enough I guess...
Damn I'm looking forward to it! Like a kiddy at Christmas! LoL

GO ON MAN! Germy Germy Germy!!
You only got 20 days left till harvest, so you may as well get 15 days worth of vegging done before ;)

yeah ... but these autos needed bigger pots after two weeks .....i've got to do autos again so any holdups and they will get root bound, dont you think? (would have to go and get P/E seeds from storage...although i have another 2 Green O'Matics here) what do you think?

i guess it would take 2-3 days to germ as well .... so thats about 20 days

I reckon you might be best with the same Green O's as you've done them already and know what to expect. I also think they'll be okay for an extra week or so in their pot. But don't take my advice on that as I realise they're auto's.

I do know that they shouldn't be re-potted once flowering... you'd have to judge that for yourself I guess.

Or start with a bigger pot that will get you through to when they can fit in your cab?

DAYUM! that's one big ass bush man! Fukin aye! :)

Shit luck dropping a seed bruh... I'd say get that Pineapple going too hehehe if it's photoperiod, it'll be okay to last in a smaller pot while-u-wait ;)

Kudos on your grow man, it's looking awesome! Some chunky looking buds, for real !!

thanks mate ... see what i mean about the lights making my pics look pooh .... those last pics were taken on a point and click too ... (not my usual dslr), you can see the nute burn has come out more in the last day or two (few really burnt leaves)


the Pineapple Express i have are Barneys Farms Auto's :-) so no worries mate, just grow 1 P/E and 1 GOM under a scrog screen .... Yum f***king yum! and suits me fine as i want to try something different too

edit:
oh yeah cumbers ... i can wait to strip that girl .... its gonna be wicked!

That's what me mate's got going now, Pineapple (Photoperiod version). So it'll be interesting to note the differences with yours. His seeds are about two weeks old-ish
