Tbh I read the first 3 pages and the last 3. Just read the others now...Wow! Very interesting stuff, subbed and +rep for all the info and the brave urine method lol. Wasn't 100% sure that autos followed the same time schedule, my first grow was with bagseed like yours.

Thanks for taking the time to read it! I am not sure about autos 100%, but I have read about them a lot and so far the only difference I can see is that they flower regardless of light hours (obviously) and some people say that they are not as potent as regular buds. As far as the life cycle from seedling - veg, don't see why they'd be any different but if someone else knows better, feel free to correct me!

Day 13: Noticed some more browning at the tips on the NL. Now it seems for sure that it's nute burn. I may have to transplant into a different soil, but for cost sake I have half a bag of FFOF and I really don't want to buy another bag just for seedlings right now. Just in case you can't see it, the cotyledon is browning up too. Not sure if that's the nute burn or just normal. Yes I know it eventually falls off.
I'm going to not follow the yeast formula completely and instead of doing an additional 1/3 every day I'm going to do a full one every 3 days and just shake up the containers every other day. I noticed the yeast seems to settle at the bottom. Protip: Get a large container, I shook up my 9/10 filled container and it exploded all over my wall and on me. Think champagne bottle explosion. 2L containers seem to work.
Watered the plants today, made sure I had a little more run off than normal. More for peace of mind than me thinking this mini-flush actually helped. Should I do an actual flush? No problem with the Blue Mammoth. It's 3 days behind the NL.
Comparing to some other peoples pictures mine hasn't really stretched at all. I'm only on the 3rd set of true leaves tho. Oh yea any idea why the leaves are pointing up so much? They've done that since the first set came out.

Def do an actual flush, best way to help with nute burn! Don't feed them again for at least another two weeks, and when you do feed, make sure it's super diluted to start. Those leaves could be pointing up because the nute burn mutated them. I would flush and wait...the leaves should come out better as she grows.

Yea I ended up flushing anyway. Not sure if it was 3x the amount or more. 8oz cup and i ran through 2 full water bottles(used bottles, filled with purified water) and a thermal cup lol.

Hey Cloudz, Just found your thread. Nice grow, I'm subbed.
What'cha got going right now, NLxBB Auto, Speed Devil Auto & Auto Blue Mammoth?
I'm towards the end of my photo period grow and then I'll be starting an auto perpetual. Anyway, I somehow managed to plant a NLxBB auto in there are harvested it a few weeks back. I screwed that plant up bad as I didnt know it was an auto but the smoke was nice. You're gonna be happy.

Yay more people, thanks. The Speed Devil never germinated T.T I kept it in the soil till last night. Put in a bottle I had laying around for shits and giggles to see if it will pop. Unlikely probably, so its just the NL and Blue Mammoth. Read somewhere that I should flush until the run off is clear. That right? And yea Lady I'm pretty content with my Blue Mammoth.

Yea the FFOF has pretty good aeration. And yes I'm pretty sure its nute burn. Don't feel like taking another pic atm but the coty's have turned completely yellow besides where it meets the stem and that one leaf is even more yellow. Also the tips of 2 leaves are yellow. May be kind of hard to see. Also started another thread in the Marijuana Plant Problems and one person said it was likely a burn too. I'm flushing the Northern Lights x Big Bud.
So why are you switched to autos?

Ahh ok. I use FFoF as well (with 30% perlite mixed in) and you have to be a little careful with the seedlings but so far I haven't had a problem. It sounds like you have it under control though, So just keep an eye on her.
To be honest it's the "instant gratification" thing. I accidentally planted a NLxBB auto with my photo grow and being that it has already been through flowering, been harvested & smoked while I still had 6 weeks to go on my photo grow I kind of just got infatuated with them.
So... I had a bunch of auto's saved up and just decided to do a perpetual with them. I have like 30 seeds so I'll be going for quite some time. After the auto's are all gone I'll start up a photo period perpetual with 2 tents. =D

Yea I think a lot of the hate against autos is just that it's not the "traditional method." Looking at getting a tent or something like it for my next grow since I'm moving and won't have a walk in closet like I do now. Did you build your own or just buy it?
Never smoked NL before, how would you describe it?

I've built my own cabinets before but I'm currently using a tent. The one I'm using right now I got from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002V9HZBA/ref=oh_details_o04_s01_i00
It's a great tent, especially for only $83.00 shipped. The first day I got it I crawled inside and had my wife zipper me up, It was 100% lightproof. Not even pinholes from the threads. Beautiful.
I harvested my NLxBB a little bit early, That was intentional. It had a nice racy head high followed by a solid kick to the fucking skull. I'd have to say it was a bit psychedelic, I wasn't expecting that. I'm more of an indica guy but this had a fast paced sativa thing going on. Harvested later and cured properly I'm sure it'd be less racy and more couchlock.

Never used a tent before, I'm assuming it breaks down for easier moving right? May be a bit big for being stealthy imo. Looks like it would work great if that wasn't an issue though.

Yeah, She breaks down nice and easy and all. But the reason I got a tent was because it was fast, cheap and easy. It's got almost everything you'd want built into it. For a stealth grow? Nah, You'd be better off DIY'ing it but even then they have smaller tents. If I was a closet grower I know I'd still get a tent and just put that into my closet.

Woah just checked my temps with the new reader. Said 41% humidity and 97F! It certainly didn't feel that hot when I walk in. Right away I opened the door. As to what will happen with my co2 plan...not sure. Maybe I need to buy a higher CFM fan or something. I really don't plan on using dry ice simply because the room is too large and I can't just let it "fall" on the plants since I need to use my fan. Didn't have any velcro so I placed the meter at the bottom of the bin.
For now I put the 4 co2 "canisters" inside the bin. It's been maybe 5 minutes since I opened the door an the temp dropped 7 degrees, yikes! Also I was using a 42w and another 23w for my mint in the same bin. I stopped using those, my mint has grown to a crazy size since I transplanted last week. I might just put it outside or something. Maybe the temp just got so higher because there was no fresh air coming in so all I did was move hot(obviously not warm) air around. The co2 must of kept the plants from cooking.
