Pipecarver with a Spiderfarmer G3000 over Auto Pots in a 3x3

[Pipecarver]

In your last grow with the auto pots were you adding calmag at every feeding ?

No, I only start with it week 3 of flower. When I've used it in the past it locked up my plants, the advice was that I have enough Cal in my well water and to use epsom salts for Mag if I need it. I don't need until flowering as the chart says and I'm following it.

Any more?

 

[Pipecarver]

Any more?

I'm in a lull between grows, I have 6 - 1 month olds getting ready to place into my Auto Pots but there's not much to show off yet. I'm making pipes in the mean time. I'll update later today.

Well pipe i have a jungle going on again who says autos dont produce.

Wow! Never seen autos that big! What are you doing to get them to grow that large? Most of the autos I see are usually around 24" tall at best.

Autos'? what auto are those that grow 6 ft tall with a bend to keep them off the light?....How long before they flipped....6 weeks?

Yeah! That is crazy!

Aren't autos self flowering meaning no photo signalling needed to induce flowering? If this is so how were you able to get them as big as they are without their genetics kicking in? Are these an auto developed for longer veg times?

These are auto critical mass there a cross with some afghani , skunk #1 , old breed known as big bud. 70 percent indica and 30 percent sativa. Most of the autos ive been growing have all reached heights of 4 to 5 feet tall and usally get one runt but it produces well.

Where did you get the seeds from?

QCS Quebec seed store there located in British Columbia

I think I have some of those seeds, your making me rethink auto's with those plants...Nice stuff ....have you grown them before?, same results?

 

[OLDCRO]

Just checked my so called records started from seed in five gallon pots on Sept 28

For sure! I may have to check out B2CAG's auto fem collection and rethink my aversion to auto seeds.

I have grown the auto critical before plants grew to 4 to 5 feet decent harvest this is my first time growing Auto critical mass. I have always have had big autos for some reason even when i grew Auto Dwarf low ryder they were over 4 feet tall.

Curious....what is your process? What are you doing different that another soil grower is doing or is this purely genetic? Like I said, most autos I see are small, like maybe 24" in circumference.

This is auto Banana kush a couple of grows back

This was my harvest from 4 Auto banana Kush

Has to be genetic.

Any time ive grown autos and not supercropped them, they usually end up 4+ feet tall.
I have to get some new autos so i can continuously run 1 or 2 in my veg tent. Theyre not terrible, just gotta get good genetics. Mephisto has a really good reputation

I began to explore auto's by breeder Rick Mosca and his Frosted Skywalker I grew to 7 1/2 oz's 5 ft tall and was super cropped late. Some of these breeders got auto's figured out check out my perpetual grow. SSgrower

Mephesto is where Rick Mosca "Cut his teeth", so there's that. SS

Thats the same day I dropped seeds in water for the batch I have growing now. I just flipped mine 7 days ago so your auto's started on their own about 2 weeks before mine to flower and have a bit of more height than mine but mine are stretching like crazy right now, I have to bend them over & lay a net on them asap or they'll reach my lights real soon. We're in a race to the finish, I have my Far reds running so if they work we should be finishing around the same time.

I threw a net over my plants last night just before lights out and kind of ape like I broke 3 tops off and did more damage than good but the bottom net is on and this morning they all look perky so eh. its dun. My plants all look very healthy and can take a bit of bashing around without too much harm done.

I'm feeding 5/5/5/4/5 ml/gal micro/grow/bloom/diamond nectar/flora clean, next week I add 5 cal/mag and the week after 1 tsp kool bloom.

On my last grow I let the reservoir do its thing and I never cleaned it....bad idea...I will be cleaning every 2 weeks now as recommended and when I change my mix.

I caught a pic of Qnight on my work table

genetics, and most people are probably stunting their growth.

with that being said, im sure id fuck an auto sideways 1000 different ways just by looking at it, lol.

 

[SSgrower]

I thought the same thing but, I watched

Darkhorse Genetics and Rick Mosca and decided I'd give em a try myself, novice grower at best. I nailed it through Mosca's instructions I h2o w/ h202 straight into a 3 gal coco final and !st. transplant. Lessens shock, and I got a great return for my limited 3 year experience indoors. I'm hooked. SSgrower

Auto's....wow nice job, 18hr lights on?. I've never had a chance to do that I've only been able to add them to photo's & flip 12/12

Your gonna have to at least have one Auto grow throw the seed in the pot no transplant and let it grow
