Day 23 from seed

90w UFO

I grew some diesel ryders under ufos, they did ok but not great, took a little longer to finish than they should have. I put a 600 watt hps in for the last few weeks and the buds probably doubled in size. They would have been huge for an auto if they had been under the 600 watt the whole time. LEDs do pretty good for veg, but for flowering I would suggest at least adding a few cfls in there to support that ufo, you will be very glad you did in the end.

time will tell, may add 2 23w cfl's, this is the 5band tri spectrum ufo. Cons = none so far, pro= less power, less heat?

Has anyone had an easyrider yellow out so early? I have been feeding her pretty heavy and every other watering. She still has almost 3 weeks left.
My auto ak-47's started to yellow a couple of weeks into flowering. All the original growth leaves were completely yellowed and eventually fell with still about 5 weeks left. By 3 weeks left pretty much all the leaves except the bud fan leaves had yellowed. I think it happened because the plants grew so quickly that they used the nitrogen too quickly and when I started using bloom nutes the disparity in levels of nutes meant they simply couldnt catch up. I dont think my yield will be that greatly affected, the buds themselves are nice and green.

Plants are doing good. The Lowryder 2 couple passed the triplets (northern lights auto) Deff not a true auto. They are 34 days old and big. 16-18inches tall on the NL's and 15-17 on the low 2.

Theres a clone in the back there veggin/getting topped constantly and its doing great. Super bushy. Gotta plant it soon I guess.

Mite just sneak the northern light autos to my outdoor grow spot one night soon. They sexed but theres not budding going on yet. A hair here and there and the stems are still very limber.

The three new seedlings are easy rider (lowlife's ak cross). My seed run with the blueberry didnt work out to well. Found one mature ripe seed.

I still have 3 diesel rider seeds im debating on holding onto them for a while as well as 10 purp mazar seeds. I mite just wait till the ak's and the single blueberry start flowering and start a pineapple express in a 5 gallon bag and veg the shit out of it before the lights get turned.

^ Your seeing the orange light in the picture. I am losing the bottom leaf or two on all the plants. Maybe the soil or fungus gnats. I know its not the ph or nute burn. Im at full strength now. There thirsty all the time and my humidity is lower then id like (ac) .


2 gallon bags ARE to small for the NL autos. If they do auto that is.

I had this happen with my auto blueberry, and its begining with my hindu kush too (both 7 weeks). I think my PH is low, causing a lock out of nitrogen. I'm not an expert though, this is my first auto grow. Anyone else have this problem?

hey dude. when you say that the Nirvana N.Ls are not true autos what do you mean exactly? I am growing them right now and am starting to wonder. They are about 44 days from sprout and they are just now starting to show some preflowrs. Pistils showed about 1-2weeks ago. Theyre very green beautiful healthy looking plants and about 18in tall. Did you have to put them into 12/12 in order to get them to flower? Maybe I should do that idk...grrrrrrr...1st grow

Hey everyone. So I have a 4 day old Blue Mystic autoflower that seems to be doing nicely. I just transplanted it it into a 5 gallon pot, it was/is in a peat pellet. There is a soil tab from Nirvana in the soil. I plan to start adding some FF Big Bloom eventually. My question is when can I start feeding. I know you're not really supposed to start feeding til 2-3 weeks, but since Big Bloom is so weak, could I start feeding it now? Or wait a week or wait til it starts flowering?

BrokeFYC you should probably transplant. Is it just in a party cup? This is a blue mystic right? Mine was slightly more developed than that in 2 weeks.

it's actually a bigger sized solo cup (24oz compared to 16oz) but i am transplanting in 2-3 days. I'm not concerned with transplant shock, i've never had that problem before...

Ok it is good to know it is not just me. I had her under a 250 and she was getting lighter colored but once i kicked in the 400 she was yellow real fast. I read that they will take in lots of nutes and to not be scared to feed em.

wait a week or 2. then start it on a light feeding.

Cool, thanks for the reply dude

Oh ok. I don't know. I think transplant effect blue mystics more. I've been hearing alot of people having femmed B.M. auto's turning out as males as well as experiencing myself. I went from a peat pellet to the final pot today.

600 HPS, soil, adequate ventilation and other (x-)factors in control - how can I maximize, generally spoken, the overall yield of 10 autoflowers? I would think the plant's better off with me LST-ing it, rather than topping/fimming it. I've also read about a topping method where you can achieve 4 so called "main stems", all with XL bud in the end. This was regarding a regular plant though, but maybe it'll work on AF strains too. Anybody knows? My goal is an ounce p/plant. 4 Short Riders, 4 Auto AK-47, 1 Fast Bud and 2 Speedy Devils.
