Docs Op: TGA & Auto

[Dr.Botany]

This is my first official grow journal, so if anyone has any questions, feel free to ask.
So lets get started,

My line up is,
Querkle- TGA
Cheese Quake- TGA
Bryan Berry Cough- TGA
Skunk #1 auto
Tangerine Auto
Crystal M.E.T.H- FastBuds

Grow spaces,
Veg- 2ft X 4ft with 300W ViparSpectra LED
Flower- 4ft X 4ft tent with 600w HPS
(Going with cheap LED due to current budget, i have a 400 MH i would love to use)

Day 1.
Started germinating seeds, been ln about 24 Hrs. Tangerine, Crystal, Querkle have all tapped, gonna leave them for another 24 to see what the others do.

Pictures and update tomorrow!

 

[Dr.Botany]

Day 2.
Just planted them in 16 Oz cups
Have them in flower tent with LED for right now until i can get the other room fixed up

I also forgot to tell you what medium im using, silly me.
I have a trio of:
FFOF
ProMix
Roots Organic
%30 perlite.
Autos will be in 3 gal dirt pots
Regs will be in 5 gal buckets

I will also be trying the 16 Oz cup challenge
For those of you who dont know what this is.. its basically a challenge where you have to grow a pot plant in a 16 Oz cup thoughout its whole life.

More updates tomorrow

You going to cut bottoms of them cups with the autos so u don't stun them bro didn't know if u knew I'm sure u do but figured I'd check. Don't wanna see a good grow have any issue

Oh, i appreciate that my man!
And they are cut, its just inside of another cup! But seeing a grow go bad like that is very heart breaking for sure haha!

 

[Dr.Botany]

I probably shouldve added that this is the start of a perpetual grow! My bad!

So a month before the autos start to flower i will clone the TGA plants ( 3 clones each plant each time, only keeping two each) and i will repeat but i will switch up the strains that dont impress me. Any males that pop up, i will cross with something but that will come at a later time.
Once the autos start to flower, the clones should already be rooted in the root riots, transplanted and starting to branch out.
While all this is in the process, i have two clones that I've been working on.

Sorry again, i shouldve started my damn
journal with this

Till next time! Happy growing guys

Day 4.
Seedlings been in cups for about 2 day now, but the Tangerine has already popped up

Not really much to say about today,
Should see a bag from GLN here soon. Curious on what their product will do.

Thats all for today guys, till next time.
Happy growing

TGA I'd like to grow out some.of.there stuff some time I got 6 plants in flower and all are doing like shit not sure wtf happened but I got albino fire skunk OG and SSD about 10-14 days old going got 12-13 each but some how I got spider mites from having in my basement had to cut down 5. Sour deisel bag seeds that were ready to flip as one or two had mites bad took 3 days being in basement for this to happen had a few lil plants I think had them n jump to bigger ones not I took all 25 Og n sourd n stuck them in a room and took dish soap n neem n mixed it up and I dunk each one upside down in it then sprayed with. Spinosad home it works ill check in few days n them hit the. Again good thing they are photos

 

[Dr.Botany]

Ive grown Chernobyl before with a buddy a while back, and i was very impressed with it. Ive seen people grow TGA and ive always been impressed so i thought i would give it a shot.

Im sorry about your plants though bud, have you tried ladybugs?? you can learn how to create a perfect environment for them in each pot and learn how to breed them. They help a ton with spidermites and other shit. Plus theyre just cool to have in the garden. But thats what i would recommend for your problems, my man.

 

[chuckie86]

I only have them.in my basement bro not in my tent in a room upstairs I check every time.i go up and there no bite marks.or anything on underside of leafs I think it's the dirt don't have no nutes in it usually dirt good for first few weeks I need to find a recipe for dirt where I add a few teaspoons of each nute a plant needs in like powder form and just blend it in and bam they are good to good maybe still add flower nutes in the end but this is just bad this time around and I think maybe a few plants are trying to revege cause I have two tents one veg n flower n veg is usually on 18-6 and I forgot last few times to go close my flower tent so they were getting back more then 12 hrs of.light so now.i just threw my one plant in veg in the flower tent so now they should be fine I hope but I know this round isn't going.to yeild shit

 

[Dr.Botany]

Oh, damn. Well im sorry my man. its apart of the game we play i guess, huh! Hope your grow goes back to normal man

 

[chuckie86]

Yea honestly I'm.not.to.worried.about these. Plants I.got GG#4 and gorilla bomb in paper.towel now so I'm.going.to.do them 4 and let.them.bush out.for.like 8 weeks so I can get a good yeild I'd.like to try for a lb a plant but that will never happen unless a.mirical happens

Day 6.
All but Crystal M.E.T.H have sprouted about half an inch. The Querkle is definitely a tall grower, its about an inch tall right now.
MEGACROP from greenleaf nutrients just came in, the smell is a bit raunchy but cant wait to see what this stuff can do


Till next time guys,
Happy growing

Day 7.

All are rooting very well, almost to well haha, they have good green color. The Crystal hasnt popped so i dont think shes gonna make it but 6 out of 7 isnt bad at all



The Purple Dream clone is doing wonderful as well, the trich production is crazy. Having no problems with her so far, she has a spicy smell to her but has a bit of a sweet kick to it aswell.




A little update on the clone

Happy growing!
Till next time guys

 

[Dr.Botany]

Day 8.

The roots of the autoflowers were poking out the bottom of the cups a inch or two, so i transplanted them into there flowering pots. All of em' are growing very well each day, as expected. The autos might slow down un grow a little bit due to trandplanting but theyll recover.



Till next time guys!
Happy growing

 

[chuckie86]

They say not to transplant autos but I think if u be careful all should go well I know when I grow autos I use rapid rooters they work great %100 germ rate evertime I put seeds right into them once they pop ill throw them in there forever home which is least 3-5 gallon pots well good luck on ur grow bro
