White Diesel Haze Autoflower Grow

Alright thanks for the tip, I'll stop. I also added another fan at canopy level to help with air circulation. Got any other tips
Though too late for this run, ditch the metal chicken wire that you're using. That stuff cuts into the plants and I hear it's a bitch to work with when time to chop. Shoot for the nylon netting next go-round. I'm interested to see what weight you pull off of this awesome sounding strain! Good luck!

Yea I installed it too late, the stems were hardening up, two tops broke because of it. I was also gone for a week and it got a little out of hand with stretching. Will aim for better procedures next time lol.

This Friday marks the beginning of week 8, I'm just trying to do anything I can until the end to add weight. I plan on feeding them nutes until the beginning of week 9, I read somewhere that I can do that and just flush them from week the beginning of week nine untill the end of week 10.

I agree the nylon would be better, like I said I broke two tops using it this time and then stopped tucking my plants at that point. That's why my canopy is so un even.

I still feel like I have nice bud sites. I'm interested in the weight I'll pull too. I tried to get pics of all the way around the canopy this time.

Also one of my plants hairs is turning way faster then all the rest. It's the last pic I included.

I'm running an auto ak (day 76 now) and mine started to turn a few pistils around 8 wks as well. They held there until the past 4 days or so and the rest followed. I think you've got plenty of bud sites and they have enough breathing room between them. Could you spare to throw a few cfls in for the last few wks? It sounds like you're doing everything right. Just lacking a little wattage maybe. I ran amnesia haze on my first grow. I made a lot of mistakes and wish I had given her more light but was happy with my results overall.

Hey Hemphill, would this make a difference? What bulb am I looking for. Will it be a significant difference if I do? Or should I just rock the T5s till the end?
I have another hood if they'll help too.
This is my first auto grow and I was just trying to save on energy, but if it'll make that much a difference I'm open to anything.

Well no one on here will argue that your yield would suffer if you switched to a 400w setup. That being said, you're probably like me and don't want to go that route due to heat and consumption. Stick with your T5, just add some CFL bulbs to help penetrate the canopy and give some side lighting. Here's my little setup with a LED.

I wasn't saying it's going to suffer, I was just asking if it'd make that much more of a difference? Is the bulb I need the skinnier of all the bulbs I showed?

Sorry. I just meant that the 400w setup would greatly improve your yield. The CFL is the white one with tubes. I'm enjoying my led. I underestimated it though. Not sure if you can tell but I burnt my ladies due to having it too close. Mars hydro 600. Actual is around 272w.

Hey, any clue why the lower part of my plant had a cracked pistil with a white seed inside, am I fucked. I didn't get a shot of the seed but these are what im talking about. I had sexed all my plants as females and they look like they're all producing healthy buds. This is my first time with auto flowers.

Should I start flushing my plants now or what. Today marks the beginning of week 8(day 56) I can post pics if it helps. The strains only suppose to go 45-65 days but allot of the buds still have white hairs, and the lower branches are producing tiny calyx. I read it may be due to still receiving nitrogen. I have not seen any sign of seed sacks or nanners. Any insight would help. Maybe I stressed them out when I swapped lights.

I've included some shots of them they all appear to be females.

The only plant I've had an issue with is the last photo and it seems to have small buds and some type of deficiency.

Hey Budzz thanks for the info, I also thought the same with a longer flowering cycle and agree with your info on other aspects of my setup. The more I know, the better my next grow. I appreciate all the info everyone's providing.

So that other guy removed his comments on here. Wonder why. I'll update later today once my lights come on.

Can someone help me out. I spotted what I believe to be mildew on a couple lower leafs on two separate plants, and a little spec on the wall. So I got in there and trimmed away all the fan leaves, scrubbed down the walls with rubbing alcohol, removed one of the plants, and sprayed the top of the soil with azamax. I also started flushing all of the plants just incase there's nothing else I can do, and I'll have to harvest a little early.

IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO TO SAVE MY HARVEST???

The last two photos are of the plant I harvested.
