Good advice. Thanks.

I was just on a grow jounal of an Auto.
The grower had two plants of unknown origin.
He said he harvested 250g off the two of them.
Thats alot of weed !

Can i ask you why you dont grow Auto's.
Are they worth the effort ?
Or should i just stick with regular seeds ?
@MD always has good advice!

My 2cents worth, I like the auto's. They are kind of fire and forget and just get on with it till they flower. Having said that I am back on reg fems for this grow and the next.

Have ye any experience using epsom salts to cure Mag def ?

My ladies are suffering.
Should i spray the leaves or add salts with Grow/Bloom ?

How long roughly before i can see them getting better.

I wouldnt be able to advise on deficency's. I sure some of the lads with more experience will chime in. Most of the probs I have had to deal with is nute burn.

I am going monday to the nearest boxing club on monday. I don't want to be a boxer I just want to get in shape and they do mixed martial arts. any takers?
The mma can get you pretty fit.Try a couple of classes in a couple of places first and then stick with the one you feel comfortable in. Choose a club that shows they are interested in your safety. Boxing pretty rocks though. It makes you focus.

Nice for the info brother.
Not 100% sure its Mag but i researched a bit and its the only thing i came up with. Yellow leaves + red stems = Mag i believe.

Il have to get one of those cards.
The wife is well freaked at the thought of them arriving here.
The brother in law is a postman. I usually use a fake address when i pick up stuff and he collects it ;)

I know what your saying about the Auto's.
I always wanted to try them. But the yeild was always putting me off.
Might grow one if i got it for free like Mr Jenks does :)

you would never know whats in the envelope pal,irishseedbank be a good choice if your worried, no customs...some good genetics aswell.....I allways give two or three waterings with Epsom salts durin a grow...doesn't do any harm too the plant atall.just mix it with plain water...worth a try,what feed you usein man?

but how about auto's with long flowering period ,like 12+weeks? your thaughts bout them? ;)
man that must be a pure sativa auto, well I guess it can't be pure with ruderalis in its lineage. Never heard of a 12 week auto. You can get great yields from auto's and the technology of breeding now has created potent auto's but most do not finish as quick as they may want you to think.

Like I said I grew BCN Diesel Auto for the heck of it and she outgrew my AK-47 and GrapeGod and I was lucky enough to have them all mature in about 9.5 weeks. The BCN Diesel yielded just over 2oz and the ak and GG together was 3oz. this was all a couple years ago before I joined the co-op and was growing my own and I still have my cab which hasn't been used in over a year. All I can say is try and find a strain that finishes around the time you want, 90% are 9 weekers if you want optimal yields and potency and i know that seems long but you will be glad you took the time in the end. Plus find a strain resisting to mold and fungi if that is a problem in your area and one that is not picky with nutes.

For nutes I use the lucas method its very easy and you can google it. I use H2o2 to keep it everything sterile and liquid and dry kool bloom towards the end and that is it but I run hydro.

Cal/Mag is great for that problem you are having.

I use Bio Grow/Bloom, molasses and a home made Co2 maker.

Ive seen this happen to me before with the plants.
3 years ago i had 9 Euphoria going at once. I got 16g of dried bud off them !
They just all slowly withered away :(
Hoping its a Mag problem and this will sort it.

I have a grow journal here. Its called Euphoria by Dutch Passion.
Not many views. But check it out.

Do you run soil or hydro? if hydro I would every 3 or 4 days give it a nice dose o H2o2 aka hydrogen peroxide to keep all the bacteria at bay and it makes the water have more oxygen.

I checked out the irish seed bank and I really like the variety of the Breeders Expert Seeds and Big Buddha Seed (most of theirs seem to be sold out.)

You want to see some crazy genetics go to cannazon.com, they are some of the for most up and coming breeders and long time breeders on that site.
