Hello everyone
Ran into a bit of a problem. I was going to get the calibration kit for my ph meter. Then i realized the probe was broke. So i went to the local hydro store to pick up another meter and it was $120. FUCK THAT!!! at that price i might as well by my shit instead of growing it. So for 9 bucks i got the liquid ph tester kit. Ill use this until i order one off amazon for 15 dollars and that comes with all the stuff to calibrate it 3 times.
Ok this is 8 days since she popped. She seems a bit on the slow side. With an auto i was expecting to see way more growth. Tonight i'm going to check the temps and the humidity. I was also thinking that with the fox farms 3 part series the big bloom is plant food and not a nute. Since it is 95% organic it really cant burn the plant. With the schedule they give you is that the first 2 weeks you only use the big bloom. It calls for 6 tsp for a gallon. i'm going to give it 1 1/2 tsp for half a gallon that's half strength. Does that sound like a bad idea?
Goodnight all.
Keep them big and sticky

Eh, you can still overfeed your plants the organic stuff. I did it too one of my autoflowers and run vganics nutes. Def more forgiving than chemicals. One of my autos came up slowly but after a week or so it really took off. Give it time. it will flourish. I personally didn't feed my autos until pistils show. If your soil is good you will have enough in the soil until pistils (like 3 weeks)

I thought salt based nutrients was a huge contributor to nutrient burn. But then again if the ppms are up I can def see it burning.

I would wait until some solid buds form until nutrients. Or until the plant shows some hunger. I gave mine bloom early and it locked a few of them out of nutrients. They stayed runted and keep going from healthy to bad even though I am feeding them back their mobile nutes.

Not saying it would happen to you I just don't want to see it happen so giving warning. I would start at 1/4 or weaker and work to half strength.

Hello everyone.
Today i saw some progress. She is starting to take off. I'm going to hold off on the fox farms nutes. Now most nute systems come with a 2 part cycle one for veg and one for flower. Am i going to skip the veg one all together? Has anyone ever grown this strain or any of the auto bombs? Just wondering what kind of outlook i have in-store. since i'm only doing one. I purchased 3 auto seeds. my next grow is going to be a BC BUD DEPOT GIRL SCOUT COOKIE photo period.Then back to the auto. Now to wait till i water again .
remember big and sticky

When i run autos i usually just give them 1 veg feed around 3 weeks or when pistils show then any feed after that is bloom and cal-mag and molasses

Hello Everyone
Day 13 from first sight. She is looking very healthy. Using just water right now is doing the trick. She has her 2nd watering on monday. She is also starting to drink it a bit faster, so her roots must be also doing well. Next week i was going to do some very low stress training. Does anyone have any tips on that? I also cant wait till my other 2 girls are done so i can put the auto in the big tent with the led, but i also don't look forward to all the trimming and cutting the buds. Thats a real sticky pain in the ass. lol..
Another question. advanced nutrients vs general hydroponics vs fox farms? I already have the fox farms trio, blackstrap molasses. i also have superthrive(which i may add to the next watering.)
Till next time folks
BIG AND STICKY

Hello Folks
I don't know if this is just an auto-flower thing or not, because this is my first time growing one. From yesterday to today. It looks as if someone switched plants on me. It also could be the superthrive. If it is the super thrive then i say everyone should be using this shit. Im telling you i almost shit my shorts.Needless to say she is looking great.
