Hello poeple,
I am new here and have recieved much help from this site from just looking around. I thought it might be time I contribute.
So....
I am growing two autoflowring strains I bought in a picknmix internet website:
1 Lowryder #2
1 Auto bubble candy
The second strain is completely unknown and havent seen anybody talk about it, I only bought it because it was autoflowering, claimed to be a high yeild, and was recommended by the website. This is my first grow by the way.
Ok...setup is as follows.
- 10L of all purpose compost per bucket. Bucket has been punctured a few times at the bottom. Top soil covers the allpurpose compost because it was starting to get mouldy.
-1 125w CFL blue spectrum and a 200W HPS double spectrum.
-very diluted urine in most water during the veg stage, and tomato flowering fertilizer ( NPK 4-8-4.5)
-small ventilator
My method:
germination was a success in less than 24h. Both seeds were placed in a plate with wet jay cloth on both sides and a plate on top. This was put in the small boiler room which is warm dark and humid.
immediately after germination they were placed in the buckets at 2-4cm under soil. This was a bit tricky as the soil I use is full of chunky bits and bits of bark and stuff. Until today (11th day) only a CFL was used as that is mine and the hps isn't. The CFL was 5inches away from the plants, and was on 24/0 for the first 7 days, now it's 20/4.
I am using my lights in this way now. The HPS is on 20/4 and is off from 2a.m. till 6a.m. the closet is right in front of my bed and it's fucking annoying to sleep with light seeping out of the closet. I am using the CFL too so as to re-create natural environment somehow: it is on from 3p.m. till 9p.m. (the HPS is on as well at this time). The HPS is directly above the plants with a reflector and the CFL is at the side of the plants so that once the plants are big, the lower leaves recieve light as well. When flowering starts, only the HPS will be on.
Urine is used as a fertilizer, diluted in tap water (UK tapwater seems to be not too bad). Urine contains nitrates and is slightly alkaline, which will combat the nature of soil which is to gradually become more acidic. The tomato fertilizer will be used 2 weeks from now, slightly before flowering so as to "induce" it.
I do not control the pH or temperature or how often do i water, I just try to keep the soil near the plant constantly moist. Not too moist as I am sure the ruderalis genes are quite used to scarce resources.
The plants are 11 days old, have 4 true established leaves and are developing 6 new leaves each. (PICS WILL COME ONCE IT LOOKS INTERESTING)
The auto bubble candy is slightly bigger and more developed than the lowryder, but are practically the same. BTW from now on auto bubble candy will be MARY and lowryder will be JANE.
Mary is 4inches, Jane is 3.
Problem:
I will be leaving the UK around the 8th-10th of August and coming back in September, so the plants neeeeeed to be done before this. This allows a maximum plant lifespan of around 67 days. Therefore it is critical that i harvest before this. I think my method will ensure as rapid growth as possible, another problem is i misread the description on the auto bubble candy, apparently it is ready for harvest 56 days AFTER start of flowering, not as the lowryder promises which is 60days from seed to harvest. Could this be a typo?
Any suggestions?
much love
