2025 new year grow

[kaw900r]

I think this is a cool side by side way to learn the different needs and schedule of autos vs photos.

It's definitely an eye opener for me and I'm thinking about popping this other seed also. It'll help keep humidity where I need it to be so I don't have to use a humidifier. Photo tent is good since there are 5 plants in there.

No, i will veg those for a couple weeks more and do some lst.

Ok word. I'd worry more about the photos then.. Maybe adjust a little for the auto if it starts to look ugly.

Otay self feeders testing made it 3 days before filling them up. The auto is drinking faster than the photos and I noticed pistils the other day already. So I'm going to try a little lst on her even though she's not even a foot tall yet. So is it time to adjust her feeding to bloom nutes? Photos are doing good and will let them veg before some lst is done.

Add bloom nutes, but feed veg nutes too for the next 2 weeks or they could get N deficient during stretch.

Have a weekly nute chart i was going to follow for her. It will help me stay on point for feeding. I use general hydroponics and they have a nute chart I've been using the past couple years that I've adjusted.

LST done last night on the auto since she's doing her own thing. The 2 photos are doing well and waiting for them to start to bush before lst is done.

 

[kaw900r]

The auto is flowering and starting a little stretch.
Photos are getting bigger and bushy almost ready for LST. I want at least 9-11 nodes before i pinch the top.

 

[kaw900r]

Had to turn humidifier on after noticeing droopy leaves after the light had been on and Humidity dropped into the 30's.

Why is DYNOMYCO so expensive now? Was able to find 3 on ebay 12.50 each and almost 18 for shipping. Still better than 25-32 each before shipping.

Popped another auto strawberry cheesecake and within 48hrs it had a half inch tap root. Trying out my new germ station

Otay, we have a storm coming and it's all good. I have beer, bud and food...

 

[kaw900r]

Not much going on, but growth seems to be good. Auto has more flowers popping up and stretching while the photos are getting bushy. Might just be my thoughts but it seems like plants are growing different with the self feeders. Not in a bad way but they just seem a little shorter and branches are very strong getting thick. Enjoying the experience

 

[kaw900r]

Auto's aren't that interesting to me and probably won't be doing anymore unless they're free seeds. I like more of that hands on with the photos...

 

[kaw900r]

The auto is flowering and is a tight little girl.
The photos are just lovely in my eyes ready for the pinch and some lst.

 

[kaw900r]

Last night when the sun came up was defoliation day for the photos in preparation for a pinch and flip. Right around 11 nodes now and noticed between 6/7 node on peyote she split into 2 mains coming up. Both have really strong thick branches already and will work on some lst this evening.
Strawberry cheesecake auto is doing good and I really want to remove some fan leaves.

 

[kaw900r]

Happy Monday, all I can say about this auto is i have urges to defoliate. Not getting involved in the growing issues strange. I do see frost starting to form and she looks healthy.

Photos had a little lst and a pinch to make that last step before 12x12. Both are strong and filling in again after defo. Got a few clones from peyote forum also.

 

[kaw900r]

Auto is short but getting funky.
Photos lst worked ,almost ready to flip.

 

[kaw900r]

Loving the self feeders, had to go away for the weekend and all is good. The flip has to happen very soon. Probably today after I get a couple clones from each. They're both nice and bushy.



The auto is a auto in flower stage progressing with a distinct funky aroma...

 

[kaw900r]

Moved the clones so I can flip to 12x12 tonight.
All clones are in with the auto and that should help keep my humidity up in there.
Self feeders work great, less water/nute usage. Ordering 4 more and will continue this process. Less mess also

Also was informed that ac infinity has some with a 2gal base compared to 1.3gal vivosun

really?? ya know it's been in my experience that everything ACI makes is better quality and design than anything that vivosun makes. you should give at least one a try!! ACI has sales and deals quite often too, maybe not have to pay full price.

fans, thermometers, controllers, net cups, software, lights.. all better from ACI i would fully expect their waterers to better as well.

Ordered the 4 pack and should be delivered today with the extra wicks purchased.

Otay, they arrived. Nice size and i like the option 3,5,7 or 10gal bag and made very well. With that being said it doesn't have a way to check water ph inside while plant is on top and holds 100lbs. Vivosun has a slot to check ph, holds 130lbs, up to 5gal bag and very well also. They both have the water level floater on the side. I'll start using them on the 2 photos the next time they need a refill. Pic for comparison

 

[kaw900r]

So the net trellis actually helps keep the flowers from falling over when they get heavy? Trying to get away from having to keep tieing things up. T/u

 

[kaw900r]

Auto got some defo the other day, had to let s9me light in 9n the buds. Whole 0lant is pretty much a bud.

Day 7 flip and we have pistils. Going to keep them in the Vivosun self feeders for the entire grow to get a better idea on how they work. Raised the light and checking for more low hanging fruit to clone.

 

[kaw900r]

Enjoying the growing while learning, how's everyone doing?
I tried cloning 2 buds from purple ghost candy a couple months ago and with my persistence 1 of them has started a new leaf growing.
Auto is getting some amber and leaves are changing colors. She's a funky girl.
Photos have officially jumped into stretch mode and thinking about investing in a trellis to throw inside. Just have to make sure it can reach back side to raise the light when needed since I try to do it gradually.

 

[kaw900r]

Have to get ready to start outdoor vegetable seedlings so I moved 3 peyote forum clones into a 5gal since I was planning to lollipop them anyway.
Auto is finishing up.
Photos are stretching and flowering

 

[kaw900r]

Everything seems to be going good. Photos are flowering and I keep thinking they should be drinking more.
Auto has to be close as leaves are getting beautiful colors.
Clones are setting in and I'll see how the experiment goes. Both clones from purple ghost candy buds have new leaves growing.
