First grow ever! Auto BBY

Good morning :wink: Honestly I’m not sure if that would help the roots being that they grow down. When you get a chance get a picture of the pot and the soil so we can see how far you are down. I don’t want to do anything too drastic to her they are over halfway done.

@Missiles, see how far down my soil is. Plus the top of that fabric pot is rolled down at least once. I tried to get as good of pics as I could. My other girl is looking great she is just slow. Now after today it will have been almost two days since feeding/watering. So Sat morning I will prob be feeding again just because the soil is still a little moist still on the top. Should I defoliate some so as to let some more light in to dry the soil faster? It seems like when I went from 24hr light to 18/6 of light is when I started having some issues?

In the above pic see how far down his soil is in the 5gal fabric pot. This is an auto plant a little over 60 days old. Should he worry or do anything to prevent it getting root bound? The top of the fabric pot is rolled down a little bit too.

@Killadruid runs his Autos all the way through in 3 gallon pots with great success. You look to be around 4 gallon to me so you should be good to go!

Also quick question to all my Connoisseur’s​:wink::wink: @Missiles, @imSICKkid, @Myfriendis410, @Jbum, @dbrn32, …has anyone tried the bud called sour grape?

A friend of mine came by and shared a bit this past weekend. It’s was so intense! I was on my way to the gym in the early morning and I had just lil bit before leaving. It was crazy :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: I couldn’t even get out of my car for about 5 mins​:joy::joy::joy:…I was just flat out stuck, and the body high was insane too!!! I consider myself a very well versed partaker, and I was really amazed at the results. Has anyone else had the same experience?

I think it should be ok too.

Don’t use any H20 that has not been Ph’ed. PH can be very critical during all phases of a grow.

Sour grape sounds yummy.

Yup top that dirt on off. Wont hurt

Whenever you use pure distilled water there is no reason to PH it. For one, there isn’t enough solids to have a stable ph, so the reading you get from plain distilled water is probably wrong anyways. Also, pure water will instantly ā€œtake the shapeā€ of your medium. Meaning it will automatically have a ph of whatever the medium is you pour it into. Now once you start adding your nutrients, then yes, PH is very important.

If you use pure distilled or R/O, there is nothing present to drive or affect PH: you can determine that for yourself: mix nutes and PH them. Dilute 50% with R/O and you will have the same (or nearly) PH. The hydrogen present in your nutrients or in your soil dictates the PH.

I only PH when anything is added to the liquid.

I agree completely. Not feeding, I’ll merely bring it to a good pH level. Feeding I put all growceries in first.

It makes soil growing much easier: dump some R/O in when they get dry and call it good haha. I just harvested five plants that never saw nutes and all they got was R/O water.

You’re trying to tell me, that if my water is usually an 8.9ph, I can just give it to the plant. The soil will correct the pH? Huh? Always pH before any thing is given to the plant. My 45+ years, never heard that. Hard one to prove and to not prove. I’m just scratching my head. I’ll look into that

If your water is at 0 TDS or thereabouts, you CAN’T get an accurate PH reading as there is no hydrogen present to drive the PH up or down. Pure water will absorb any soluble minerals and adopt whatever PH is native to that media. You can experiment for yourself and find out the next time you feed as I stated above. Mix nutes to say 800 ppm and PH 6.0. Add an equal volume of PURE water. PH will remain at 6.0 (within reading error). This is really quite easy to demonstrate for yourself.

They are using RO/purified water. You sound to be using tap/well water. Two diff types of water. Yours (and mine) need ph’n. Bottled water doesnt

I use tap as well :metal: I was just stating that you cant PH pure water. I do aerate my tap water constantly and it brings it down from ~300ppm to ~170ppm
