Hey guys just thought I would start a grow journal up. I am currently doing 16 autoflower plants, 5 of them being mcdanzigs Sour Spyder and the other 12 Lowryder #2. 6 of the plants are 14 days old while the other 10 were born/sprouted yesterday.

I am using organic nutrients but have not began feeding yet and plan to hit the 14 day old babies with a dose next watering, I am using a 600w cooltube with a MH conversion bulb for the next 30 days and then going to switch to HPS to promote better flowering.

Here is some pics of the rooms and plants for now while I try and figure out how to make this journal a bit more official, if you have any suggestions don't be afraid to throw them at me!

First pic is the babies 10/10 sprouted.... 100% success rate! had to use ghetto paper cups though hope they hold up for a little while until they can be transplanted haha.

Second and third are pics of the 14 day old lowryders that seem to be growing a little slow to me, you agree?

Fourth pic is a big group shot just to show the light and spacing. and finally my nutes lol.


Like I said any questions or suggestions feel absolutely free to hit me up

Right on, looks good. I would suggest planting them in the container you want to keep them in, everything I've read and xperienced points to his. What type of soil do you have them? Autos end to get Nute burn pretty easy, fox form ocean for example can have those leaves curling and other signs of nute burn within the first couple of weeks without adding anything additional. Either way, I'm sure it will all go great!

What size space yah got em in?

Yeah those are 2 gallon pots which they will probably live until they are done, the bigger ones are 5 gallon and then a coupe random window planters I found to make up for the extra seeds. They will obviously stay a bit smaller but that's fine just tired of buying weed all the damn time for outrageous prices!

I don't have exact measurements but its about 5x5 maybe a tiny bit more, and yeah I have organic nutes and actually plan on hitting them a bit next watering. My soil is berger custom blend comprised of peat moss, vermiculite and perlite.

Looking good buddy... but as para says next time you should plant them directly into their final pot because auto's don't veg very long so you don't wanna waste any time by stressing them through transplanting. Good luck

Update: Decided to make the room a bit smaller by dragging this old mirror thing a couple feet out from the wall.
Also put up as much Mylar as I could and added the wing reflector to the cooltube to concentrate the light a bit more.

Things seem to be going well and the plants are starting to pick up a bit finally, starting to think the transplant and a bit more light is what they were seeking.
They also got their first feeding yesterday, I will upload close ups of them in a couple days when some serious growth happens, until then here is a pic of the new room. Pretty ghetto job lol but it works.

EDIT: wow just looked at the first room pic and this one is clearly much brighter, by quite a bit!!! Dope.
