First grow hijack/transiberian HELP!

So, this is my first grow. I chose two auto strains cause I figured it would be harder to screw up...

20"x36"x62" grow tent
75-80*F
45-60rh
Kind led L450 (270 actual watts)
24" from plants
FFOF medium
Ph is at 6.4-7.0

Just treated with cal/mag on Friday. I thought maybe because I'm using distilled water I might have a cal mag def. growth doesn't seem to be stunted. No other nutes other than what's in ocean forest.

Oh yeah, the trans is on day 12 and the hijack is on day 5.... Ideas? Should I flush w re-ph'd water? Never flushed before afraid of drowning my girls. Thanks in advance for your help.

Am I overreacting? Appreciate the help.
What's up man....I've grown a lot of different strains of autos and based on my experience none of them like too much nutrients......the best results I've ever had with autos was using a really good super soil instead of nutrients. ....the super soil gives them what they need and there's no chance of over fertilizing....

Appreciate the information man. Got a question for you: I am a week into my 2 wks flush and some of the trichomes are still a bit clear. I was planning to chop on Saturday. If by Saturday the trichs are not where they need to be,
can I extend the flush to 3 wks if need be?
Do I run risk of losing my harvest with the plant being off nutrients for 3 wks?
Would a deficiency during these last 2.5-3 wks matter at all?

The leaves are pretty dry and yellow (turning orangish-red (pictured above)). I'm still feeding it 1 gallon R/O h2o every other day.

By the end of the 2 week flush....she's fished if your trichomes arnt matured yet ......just water sparingly until trichomes are where you want then let dry out...turn lights off and keep in total dark for last 3 days.....as for the leave's turning colors it's just the plant eating itself from lack of nutrients. ...and that far along in flowering the nutrients have done all they were gunna do anyway....no matter what any plant has a natural process whether we try to manipulate it or not ya know

Not a problem man....everyone should grow this amazing plant. Oh yeah.....a couple of the best autos I've ever grown meaning nice yields and knock out high....auto seeds Candy Kush....I got 90 grams dry weight of dense sugar covered buds and Barnes Farm Sweet Tooth auto massive yielding auto nice resonis buds.....later man

Any recommendations?

Really it'd a personal preference......but you can't go wrong with any of them .....Jock can be a bit fussy but rewarding.....and AK 47 is just hard to beat auto or photo

So the hijack continues to purple @ 58 days. It really didn't start purpling until I started my 2 wk flush; and I haven't seen any other hijacks that have purpled. I would assume that the bud is turning purple bc the sugar leaves have a deficiency??? Idk... Is this normal? Something need to be done?

image.jpg So I chopped the hijack auto today...she was ready man. Really quick and easy grow. 60 days....And I've learned so much over the past few weeks of being on this site (and other sites for that matter) and look forward to trying new techniques moving forward. I'm still growing the TS @64 days. She's been a tough and resilient plant though; I've put that girl through hell!!

Will weigh after she dries. Peace!

So, I'm not sure if anyone is still paying attention to this thread anymore, but the hijack harvest went well. Harvested her at 60 days and feel pretty confident the timing was good. I'll put up a smoke report if anyone's interested. I know she's a sativa, but there is a bit of couch lock to this one (not bad though). Cut her and hung her up for about 10 days. Been in mason jars about a week now. Total weight was 3.18 oz.... Not bad eh??? I was hoping for at least 1.5oz would have been stoked with 2...but 3??? Yes please.

My transiberian is still in the oven and has been there for 78 days. I just started flush today. Here are some updated pics.

There is nothing wrong with your plants.
Stop PHing your water as there are buffers in your soil
No need for cal mag cause thats in the soil too.
If you are using Fox Farm Ocean Forrest with an Auto strain just add water
Don't over water
Sit back and enjoy
