5x5's Auto RDWC UK Cheese Grow

Underneath

Learning Lessons.
Well, they looked like shit because this grow I was using RO from the start and didnt mind the calmag as I should have.
I fixed the calmag ratio and I am at 380ppm with RO, calmag and GH three part. Stupid. Hoping it doesnt cost me big in the end.
Getting pretty big otherwise. Minus the spots and shit.
Don't know why it took this long for me to realize it!

Going to put the ol' net up tomorrow and start trying to keep them underneath!
Here is a different view.

What your plants look like when you dipshit out and don't mind the calmag with RO. Durr.

Doesn't look all that bad they'll snap out of it quick, probabaly already have. Best way to learn though!

Thanks!
That's what I really like about RDWC. Problem=Solution is a lot quicker.

Gotta stay on top of it though haha!

So whoever said Auto's stay small lied!!
The roots are about to fill the buckets. I had to reach in and pull roots out of my drain pipes last res change.
Thank god I topped them!!!!
The growth has been pretty impressive. Upped the PPM's to 450 and going to 500 tonight.
The things are fucking ravenous. Dropping a couple gallons and from 450 down to 350ppm in 24 hours.
Here are the roots a couple days ago. Nice and tan from that EWC tea. Smells like fresh taters!

Like 5 days ago. I had just put the net up

The tent is 7 foot tall for a sense of scale.

Every day I am just tucking and weaving trying to keep the canopy even. I trimmed the bottom leaves off a week or so ago and I am not going to trim any more unless I absolutely have to.

A couple early buds.
My seeds sprouted on OCT 30th so I am exactly 40 days in!

In 10 days they have stretched to fill the tent. I have never have plants this close to the lights.
I just expected these auto's to be smaller. I am about 55 days in and have a while to go, maybe a 5-6 weeks.
Hopefully the fucking things stop stretching. I have already had to supercrop the shit out of them! That is the roof of a 7 foot tent with the lights strapped to the top pole!
If these stems pack with buds like my last few grows, holy shit.

I had to pull the roots out of my drains again. In just 2 weeks they had grown these thick ass bundles of roots down into the drains!

That is a 6 inch netpot. The stem is actually so big it is displacing the hydroton and it is rolling out of the pot.
Like I said, I seriously underestimated the final size of these autos. Guess that is saying something about this RDWC.

Sorry if I didn't see this elsewhere in the thread, but what breeder/seed bank are you sourcing the auto UK Cheese from?

I never mentioned it. Got them from seedsman last year. "UK Cheesy Express" is what they were called.

Ugh out of hand autoflowers.
I guess I like photo's because I could control the veg cycle and flower them at a certain size.
These things...you just throw the lights on em and hang on. At least if you are not used to it. Like me
Outgrown the tent. At this point I can only really just pinch over the buds as they get taller.
Least the ppm is stable. Running around 550.

They are going to go a full 90-100 days for sure...
All I want for Christmas this year is for these to stop stretching lol.
