first auto flower grow ,,,russian rocket fuel,any tips would be apprecciated

greenthumbsman · Sep 14, 2011

ok so i have 4 females 3 in my dwc tote one in fox farm soil,,,one of my mother plants " wich is a regular photoperiod strain" it is el alquimista will be ready to take clones in about a week but i will probably wait two weeks so my autos get into flowering a little more my plan is to have clones a month into flower when my autos are done that way another month after ill have another batch due eventually gunna be a perpetual harvest im guessing at least 4 oz off these autos then ill add another 400 watt hps for clones and hopefully get that to about a half p or whole p from clones but my autos are doing awesome so i may just get two oz off of each plant and end up with around 6-8 oz off of my 4 autos im high and rambling now lol

what do yal think so far?

greenthumbsman · Sep 24, 2011

whats interesting is i have some of the same strains some in soil some in a dwc system and the soil is much further along into budding and they are the exact same age BUT the soil plants are much smaller so it seems my soils will be done first im gunna guess 1 oz a peice where i think ill get roughly 2 oz a plant from the hydro plants they are much bigger and even though budding are stilling bushing/branching/budding all in one "which is how my clones do" my clones start to flower and still get around a ft to two ft taller by time they are done these autos are pretty cool im happy so far very very hairy lots of thrics already !!!!

what i think is ...... can't beleive the contrast between the soil and hydro plants, makes me think about hydro in my grow soon.... but i'd need to know every little detail first though, to help me relax about it being too difficult

looking really really good so far :-)

the outdoors stuff is my pops i dont live with him im bing long on my own but my little brother does and you can see hes been picking it to death super premature buds ruined the whole plant damn near

greenthumbsman · Sep 25, 2011

i love the way hydro works but for a small 10-15 plant grow just small is pretty easy to maintain with a dwc especially if you have a big resevoir with sub pump no hauling makes is pretty easy and plants perform much much beter as you can see in my side by side ill get way more off the hydro plants then soil

here are some updated pics this is day like 28 or 29 some where around there im tired and dont feel like looking it up but you see they are budding out nicely finnaly starting to flower and look like its doing something all in all im happy with these autos so far

greenthumbsman · Sep 28, 2011

looking very good i think

greenthumbsman · Sep 28, 2011

many tops still small yet but nugs are filling out nice

troutie · Sep 29, 2011

YEAH MAN! .... cant fault your progress, there is so much growth in there i cant make out how many in dwc and how many there are in total?... and every leaf is looking very healthy.
would love to know more about prepairing water and running a deep water setup... i understand how it works but when it comes to what to use and how much nutes to use i'm scared stiff :-(

amazing work so far IMO, bet your stoked all showing flowers now!

greenthumbsman · Sep 29, 2011

there is 3 in the dwc and 2 soil grown the dwc is easy man i just put cold water in a seperate tote i drop an air stone in the water and let it sit for at least a day to dechlorinate then i add nutes then ph water then check my ppms with a tester and check ph adjust as needed and switch out the totes "thats for water changes" dont let it intimidate ya man its pretty easy lot beter then soil growing i like the taste of a good organic soil grown bud once in ahwile but the dwc is the way to go u see in my pics the difference much healthier and bigger plants

greenthumbsman · Sep 29, 2011

on the autos i run at 800 ppm wich comes out to about 1/3 strength dose of XNUTRIENTS
