yes its mad, everyone says its bad which it is in high dose, but at low doses its vital for the plant. picked up some alg-a-mac while i was out which contains good levels of cal and mag. so hopefully now im not using proper ph anymore then things should be ok.
ill be putting the buds in the jars tonight to cure, should have some picks up tomorrow. have to go take some cuttings later aswell for my next scrog grow. i was gonna use the skunk but i think ill take cuttings of the white berry.
dont know what to do for my next grow in the tent, but i am leaning towards some pineapple variant.

dont harvest it just yet, doesnt look anywhere near ready yet, the stated grow time of them autos is only a guide. if they say eight weeks then i would take that to mean start checking the trichromes at eight weeks. the others are coming along nice, they will start picking up real soon. looking very healthy!
how tall did the auto get jingle, the autos have supposed to have come on a long way lately so just wondering what sort of size they are getting. also you did not buy any of that proper ph 6.5 did you. looks like it locks out nutrients needed by the plants. i hope you didnt cos i think i told you to get some, cant remember. my bad if you did!

Im gonna get the nutes out of www.nirvanagrow.com, it seems to be an ACTUAL complete plant food with pH perfect for €15 a litre bottle, with the most simple feeding instructions you could ever follow! Started my AK48 seeds today in small standard pots. Have to make the trip to get some Airpots, Hesi Nutes and more All-Mix soil soon so I can pot them up into their final pots asap.

Cant wait to grow out the AK48, wanted to do it last run but the Snow White seeds were actually in the shop so I bought them...Im a sucker for not waiting for things, much rather have something in my hands immediately than wait for the exact thing I want. Ment to have a nice uppy sativa buzz and 48 day flowering period, which Im glad of, cos the Snow White has the most couchlock buzz Iv ever smoked!

Alright Lu, No i didnt get any of it....I started using the biobloom and i am using it with bottled water with a ph of 7so i am all good with that and the all mix soil, havent had any problems so far....fingers crossed...Altough some of the lower leaves under the canopy have gone yellow and dead , im talking about maybe 4 or 5 leaves but i am putting that down to not getting any light through the canopy...

And Lu i took your advise and posted my auto on the when is it ready forum and 12 or 3 of them said a week from yesterday so gonna leave it till next weekend....And at the moment its about a foot and a half tall....nice looking plant( If only it would swell up a bit)

nice one for not using that ph proper stuff, i would have hated telling you to use something that after research i found out was bad for plants!.
if they said a week togo then just post pics up in a weeks time and ask again, to be honest i wouldnt be surprised if it was gonna be another two weeks, the pistils still havnt changed and the bud hasnt started to fatten up yet and that can take a couple of weeks. it will be worth the wait, dont rush it in anyway. youll have some nice smoke at the end.
the autos do have a place as they are quicker to grow but the yields are not as big as a photo grow, but there are a lot of guys getting good results from them now. so ill have to wait and see how yours goes before i give one a go!

You using the Biogrow aswell? There supposed to be used together, 1ml of Grow per litre every feeding. I found myself adding more sometimes just to keep em green. Either that or Snow White is a magnesium and nitrogen whore!

yes i was looking into the hesi stuff alright so ill give it a go, youll be using it before me though probably cos i still have a good bit of the bio stuff laeft, everything in there range i have now.
i know what you mean about not waiting for things, but id say youll get a nice grow out of the 48`s, dont they get pretty big, how long will you veg for?
good luck with them anyway, are you gonna start a new journal.
i know i wont be growing the snow white, the missus doesnt get of the couch as it is, if she started smoking that id have to do the wahing up n all!lol!

if the lower leaves are yellowing and dying down below i wouldnt put it down to the light alone, as harrekin said always give at least 1ml of grow once a week with the bloom, just to keep them upped with nitrogen.

I might start a journal now that I have my camera back, gonna veg for 2-4 weeks and gonna top and lollipop them this time. I dont think Biobizz is great, its ok, but Im gonna hit the Hesi up and let yous know how it goes, just seems like a no BS complete plant food with one bottle for veg and two bottles for bloom. Gonna just do 5 plants this time, tent was WAY too cramped last time.

looking good willoco, use the biobloom at a rate of 2ml per litre, they need the extra nutes at this stage and also make sure to add a little bit of grow, 1ml per litre. also cut back on your watering, i cant see your pots but your plants are telling me they are a wee bit wet in there ponts.
buds are coming along nice, will be nice to see them when they are coming to the end.
harrekin how the hell did you fit anymore than four plants in your tent, i have four in there and its mental, i am so lucky did the skunk cos its tall and skinny but now i have the topped skunk and berrys in there its just plain mad!, they are very bushy and im kicking myself for not getting the dr100, might even have to get another tent just to give me more room.
will keep a check on your next grow to see how the hesi turns out, theres just too many extra bottles you need in the bio line up, not bio line up but the bloombastic is a great bud and resin producer. i put the buds in the jars yesterday and when i took them out today they were like them sticky buds, fucking sticking to everything. that resin is a bugger to get of your hands aswell. soap just does not cut it. had to use butter and sugar to get it off.

No Harrekin, Sorry i mis posted earlier...I am using the Bio Grow and with that i am using the AN Bloom ( only because i had a bottle there) The auto was eating up 5 1/2ml per litre at the last time i feed it and i think she could take more, would loved to have given her more but and only using Molasses and bottled water(ph7) for the last week or 2.
