The Art of The Auto

well this thread moves at a lightening speed! been trying to catch up ad leave a few pages, then the next day there is 10 more! this is the way forward, bring on the auto forum!!

my ak's are doing pretty well, got a nice few heads of bud. however my soil is lacking food so they arent as big as they should be and my PH is out and causing nitrogen deficiency. im thinking i have high calcium like you mossy so may have to try a splash of vinegar. i dont have a ph meter though so im gonna have to guess it which could be interesting!! my leaves are yellowing as they would at the end of the grow so i think im gonna have to hit them up with some high nitrogen grow nutes and see if that helps. man i wish i was still in my old house where the water was spot on !

yeah, was that planned? or just happenstance? cuz if that was planned, right on! almost have to nominate you for the mossy christmas comp prize! lol

the water..I Think it Has caused a nute lock-out..I can actually SEE the nute boost now when I feed them..
they jumped a couple of inches.
Might have held the second feed off them if I had realised they would react so strongly...hmmmm..

Interesting, but i have to ask you what makes you think you have a lock-out? There is no damage at all on those plants from what i can see from here. All i see are amazingly dark green plants that responded well to some nutes that you gave them. I think that you may be on to something more than just correctly pH'ed water with that vinegar trick. Its almost as if it allowed double the uptake as well as speed up the metabolism of the plant. Your results all speak for them selves right there. Now you see why i am so strict about pH as well as what the o2 in the water CAN do for you.

My next question is what nute are you using? The new stuff you posted a few pages back?

I put most of the good results in this size pot down to the amended water..
as my m8's will swear..
I always say I Cannot grow well in small pots.

I think that i may have my hands full this year with the DC's you've got there

and i do have a question for you sir, ICU#2 did you say that it got near some DC pollen or was that the BB that got a accidental shot? I have one in the room that you need to see, its so indica dom and fat bladed its not funny. Ill get a pic tonight.

i bought the seeds as auto blueberry. i put on 18/6 from seed and after 6 weeks just a nice healthy big plant which i could tell sex. i dont kno if this is b cos i dropped the light to 16/8 after about 4 in half weeks but soon as i switched to 12/12 4 weeks ago today and heres a few pics people are saying they look far to good and big and budy for 4 weeks of 12/12 what do yous think

if I see them criminalising rain-water collection like they are saying..

I'm handing you in..

(that will give me and BH a chance to win the cup challenge....)

ahh i see how it is huh, gotta eliminate me to get the upper hand

Thats ok i understand if your scared i guess you have to do something about it

I think this years challenge will be interesting with all the new acquired knowledge from last years run. I still feel that i am gonna have to come up with something to run with those DC's, Id do Bud Wider but im getting close on seed and want to do a run before i use them again.

Sorry m8..should have said HAD...
I mean the earlier summer girls Before the vinegar..



back soon..gotta check the flight from the UK is operating

Damn..looks like I have a prob..there are no flights even listed..
gonna have to go do a bit checking up...

lowrdr....hey m8..sorry to dive when you just got here...
bloody UK snow..
and I just heard..we are gonna get slammed by it too...


damn...

I second the motion... btw everyone vote?

What is the absolute highest temp that you guys would allow? I am running between 84 to 88f when the lights are on in my cab, and that is with constant exhaust.

Well if you're not running CO2 thats pushing the edge of the envelope... but maybe not so much with autos? Mine have been in that range cuz my tstat is set threre... just turned em up to 90 actually becuase I'm running CO2 and I understand the maximum effect is at 87-95 degrees

You want it HOT! HOT! HOT!

lol
lets burn one!

i usually dont like to go above 83

due to the cold weather i have been running 80 instead of 76 like normal.
I can tell you this, they seem to be growing faster this way.
it really suprised me to be honest

John.....

I do believe that you are correct about the temps for max intake. I think with your fog and c02 mix you are gonna see some fantastic results my friend
i bet those plants have a metabolism of a crack head right now with all that going on. again never ceases to amaze me

No co2. I really wish I did though.

I can get it to drop 5 degrees if I leave the door cracked. That kind of defeats the purpose of having a filtered intake though. I guess that is a sacrifice I will just have to make. After all.. they are just seedlings and I don't want to set them back this early on.

thanks FD... glad you are enjoying... I am as well, I assure you... and everyone in this thread has been a real pleasure... good group! so much fun!
Thank you all!

def if they are seedlings dont overheat... the less you mess and stress, the better... right FD?

lol
