400w HPS Closet Grow (Purple Jems, Himalaya Blue Diesel, and Auto Great White Shark)

Yo 150! Glad i caught this one early!! Sub'd all the way buddy!!

Less dewww-eeeet!!!!

I'm so impatient... This thread is going to be rediculously hard to follow because I'm going to be bullshitting with you guys the whole time. I'm not worried about it though... That's why it's only my first journal.

i think thats what makes a good read--- all the speculation, opinion/method discussion, and small talk while ur "watchin ur water boil"...

Subbed Looking forward to this.

Yeah, I still haven't grabbed any cal/mg. I put so much money into my grow and seeds I'm not gonna have any spendable dough for awhile... Got plenty of sour diesel though.

what exactly does the root stim do? And what brand would you recommend for the cal/mg and root stim?





it's my first grow, so I don't want to risk stunting or stressing it this time around.

okay... I'm starting them in their final 1gal pots, so I can't really do the bathtub thing.

when I put them in the soil, do I turn the lights on to their permanent lighting cycle? Or how much light, if any, should they get while germinating in the soil before they break ground??

I would go bigger than 1 gallon, your roots will outgrow that in a couple weeks, at least mine did. That pro mix bx is good shit, roots grow like crazy in it. I love how all these soil companies are putting mycorrizhae in the soil. It definitely helps, creates a nice environment for the roots to grow, and the fungus and roots have a parasitic bond where one feeds the other. Basically you feed the fungus, and the fungus feeds the roots. I think thats how it works. Im not sure if anyone answered your question or not yet, and by now your plants have probably broken ground anyway, but they dont need light before they break the ground. They know to grow straight up anyway, and only need light once their out. Anyway Im very interested in this grow and will be following to see how it goes.

all 8 seeds have soaked and sunk in their shotglasses... I'll be planting them within the hour.

i concur. most inputs are bullshit but there are some diamonds to be found while shooting the shit!

good call MJ. I knew there was a reason I liked you... J/k

Sub'd 150 good luck man!!

Nice ya gottem in the soil, the countdown begins... muah ha ha ha!!

I agree the promix bx/hp is the bees knees-- idk bout the myco's help tho, im down for ALL symbiotic relationships, but through research ive learned it can take 2-3 months to colonize and actually be of benefit.. and w an AF's short lived life, it wouldnt be worth it... so if ur ever induced to buy an innoculant resist!!

Hurry up n get a camera doooode!!! lol gotta jett, microBio final in 10MIN!!!!!!

PS- def go bigger than 1 gal pots if space allows--- in all my readings (ive sure youve seen it too) root health/space is PARAMOUNT to AF success...

peace~

yeah... They are all in the soil right now.

I'm not too worried about the root stim right now, being that I'm using 1gal pots. As soon as root growth is stimulated the roots will run out of room.

also, I'm just going to stick with the 1gal pots for this grow. I saw KB pull 3.5oz off 8 females under a 150w with some CFLs in 2L soda bottles. So I'm hoping I can do at least that good...




I'm shooting for 4 females... If I don't get 4, I'll be planting some femm'd AKRs. But I hope it doesn't come to that.

cool....but ya know we need sum pics......

yeah most definitely... I'm gonna snap some pics when they start popping up.

anyone want to discuss optimal feeding schedules for autos?

I'm wondering if I can get some of your opinions on when feeding should begin? At what strength? What you would use(out of what I have)? When would you use it? how much would you use?


I was pretty much going to start at week 4 of the FF feeding schedule. I will begin at 1/4 strength and work up. This feeding regimen will begin on day 14, that is, if you all think it's a good idea

inputs please.

Just don't over feed and your good, I used some tiger bloom and the general feeding 2-3 tspn. I did 2 and recieved some burn so i just used it every other watering. But my auto was bagseed, my guess is its and easy ryder.

that's cool! How did you know that it was going to be an auto if it was from bagseed?

subbed..............dude i normally just put them straight on to there permanent light cycle then there used to it from day 1

you mean once they are in soil?

yeah dude once there in the soil lol
