Viagro: 20/4 will work fine for you. You will want some kind of dark period.

Thanks, Bighill, but there's an unfortunate reason I'm forced to try this. I might regret it, but it's going great guns now, and there are some incredible harvests from the land of the midnight sun, so I'm hoping this strain can manage.

If things go wonky, I'll work something out, but if it goes well...well, I'll have learned something. I know some strains are advertised as capable of a 24/0 cycle. I'll keep my fingers crossed for now, but all suggestions are considered and noted.

Rtoke: Yup, potash will be good it is a good source of potassium. I really can't speak about what ratios to mix it, or what K content it will contain. You'll have to do some googling about it.

Potash is important for agriculture because it improves water retention, yield, nutrient value, taste, colour, texture and disease resistance of food crops. It has wide application to fruit and vegetables, rice, wheat and other grains, sugar, corn, soybeans, palm oil and cotton, all of which benefit from the nutrient’s quality enhancing propertiesPotash is important for agriculture because it improves water retention, yield, nutrient value, taste, colour, texture and disease resistance of food crops.

Viargo: I am far north aswell, alot of my intrest in autos is outdoors. There isn't much else that will finish outside for me. A user on icmag grew some autos above the arctic circle this year. Some finished for him. Some finished for me too. Some beeing the main word

Hey everybody, i just had a quick question regarding yellowing of the leaves. I am on day 39 and on the very first sets of leaves that showed, the fan leaves, which are towards the bottom, are starting to look like they are dying and yellowing. The rest of the plant looks great and is in good shape. Its just the first sets of fan leaves that are doing this. I know the further into flowering you are, some lower leaves will yellow, but, as this is my first grow i just want to make sure that is natural and not a major problem. And if it is natural, without any problems, would it be a good idea to trim those dying, yellowing leaves off or just leave them on.?. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!!!

Well if its yellowing in a uniform manner then its prolly just the plant feeding off of what it has stored so far. I usually only trim off a leaf when it's completely yellow, that way I know the plant has used all it can out of that particular leaf. However, a leaf that is yellowing in an abnormal way, such as tips only, or inside out, then that is usually an indication that there is some sort of deficiency going on. I would suggest posting up some pics so some of the experts like Mossy, FullDuplex and John can take a look and give you a more accurate diagnosis. Hope this helps. Peace.

Thanks alot for the help hitman. Yes, mine is yellowing the whole leaf, Its not the tips or anything or in patches, its just on the fan leaves at the bottom that were the very first leaves to grow. But if anyone else has any suggestions, its greatly appreciated....

Whats up ladies and gentlemen. In order to keep myself from calling everyone I know to talk about growing pot and auto flower breeds like I have joined a cult or something. I will play it safe and share with you people instead. Here are a few pics from today. I have them under 36 CFLs, nine 42watt and twenty seven 26watt bulbs. I also had a friend give me three cheap little LED panels. I think I can stop adding bulbs now.View attachment 1299720View attachment 1299721View attachment 1299722View attachment 1299723View attachment 1299724View attachment 1299725View attachment 1299726View attachment 1299727View attachment 1299728View attachment 1299730

hitman on the right is right on here... leaves yellowing from bottom to top is natural... using up the nutrients (especially N) from the bottom to the top... when plants need nutrient if they don't have it available... they will transport nitrogen from one part to another as nitrogen is portable within ther plant structure.
thats not to say that they are not being fed well... actually sounds like your feed balance is about perfect.

you know it would be great if somebody came out with an AF book

well maybe we should pool together and write one... probably make a fortune!

We'll call it "Autonomous"



sound good FD n Mossy?

these are some pictures of my girls, Diesel Ryders day35/40

Looking good on the DDR's man! let us know how they turn out!

Todays pics at Day 22

Mossy n FD: see the little bit of yellow streaking on some? Is my PH potentially going out?

or bleaching from the HPS and an additional 12,000 lumens present?

thanks, wat strain is that?

three different... ordered from marijuanaseeds.nl

They are Low Ryder #2, Auto-Berry (Blueberry cross), Auto widow (White Widow Cross)

AW sounds interesting, im curious to see how those turn out...

Well I'll be posting pics everyday and reporting progress... full track lof charts are in effect... and I'll be breeding feminized seeds from them... letchay know how that goes too if you stay tuned in to the thread!

and yeah im planning on getting seeds too i got one plant fully pollinated from top to bottom, the rest im gonna wait a few days the pollinate them on the lower bud sights.
anyway off to bed ill check bk in the morning.

p.s. me too thought is was hella funny

gez finally got caught up on the thread. I LOVE the idea of an AF book and it wouldnt be right to name it anything else besides The art of the auto..!! Anyways JM are your auto~berry dutch passion just curious..

I believe they originated from there but I had to buy through a UK based reseller... marijuanaseeds.nl

But I believe they are DP.. I know my Super Silver Haze (photos) are and they are from the same place...

Glad you were able to catch up... I've been on all the time and alsmost every time I log on theres a new post!
