Two 3 Speed Fans
Temp is normally approx 28C
Pot Size - i am using 18in Square pots X3
The Soil I use is Westlands with John Innes with perlite

I have purchased a few bottles of nutes etc but not sure which i should be using with Autos
Plagron Terra Bloom
Formulex Nutrient Solution
Nitrozyme
Gnats Off

That is pretty much what i have got any feedback would be greatly appreciated

will be germinating these seeds, The thing i am wandering which is best do (A) plant seeds into a soil bag (B) plant seeds straight into 18in pots

Doesn't matter what ya plant'em in as long as they're not over 1/4-3/8 in deep. I actually germ mine in solocups, and transplant when healthy...smaller containers acually allow ya to know when to water and helps avoid the most common error of overwatering.....just my habit that has allowed me to have perpetual good luck with seedlings when they are at their most vulnerable....good luck on your autos.....let'em get 3 weeks of healthy growth before nute start and then very slowly.....good karma to ya...

 

[ch0mpy]

ok thanks reefer will plant them in the soil bags and keep and eye on them

How's it going. Good start and will watch with interest as doing a few auto's myself.

[ch0mpy]

yea they are a little stretched, had the light a little away from them when they were seeding as i didnt want to burn them,
they should be ok but i will be keeping an eye on them.

I had a look on Youtube and Vertigo look delicious !! Might get me some if them And just think in 60 days you will be looking at some real nice bug
I'm doing some Assassin's, ones at 5ish weeks and they grow so fast. It seems to be growing about a inch a night !

got a thread going but no one seems interested, check it out if you want - https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/434850-auto-assassin-cfl-grow-uk.html
oh well I'll keep watching your's as I've got a snowrider and another auto going at similar ages.
Cheers

Week 3, i have re potted my plants into bigger pots, i am not using the 18in pot i had original planed as tbh i didnt have that amount of soil, so i am using smaller pots but i will keep an eye on them to see how they progress,

 

[ch0mpy]

I would just like to say a Thank You to everyone who is subscribed and replied to my thread, it is nice to see hear people's views and its great feedback for me

Thank You

 

[ch0mpy]

Have filled my water container up (27L Storage Box), I Started my nute program from 13/6 and used 10ml Formulex, 10ml Plagron Bloom, 5ml Nitrozyme, would these nutes all be ok together,

Will be using these nutes for 1 week and then flush with fresh water the week after.

thanks again

 

[IrishFarmeR]

Well what i done ch0ompy is i fed evry second watering little amounts so when i watered with normal ph'd water lets say this morning i would then feed her tomorrow evening and so on....i learnt that from a friend who pulled 15.5 oz's off 4 auto mazar's..Little and often in my opion is the key to success and give the plant time then to sort out all the nutes within itself before you water again preferably when the soil has just gone dry get those roots stretching out it'll help them later on when they get bigger....hopes that helps you some bit dude...peace

 

[ch0mpy]

Nice one irish Have been doing that and does definatly seem to help so thanks.
