I’m actually 22 days in I have a mephesto auto and a zkittles auto that both popped up 11/26 both plants are in happy frog and ocean forest mixed with extra perlite. The OF is in the deeper half of the 5 gallon fabric pots. I’m using a 600w viparspectra and a 600w hps. I keep the hps in the tent 3x3 and led outside the tent where I like to veg them. Problem being I tried putting a gg auto I have under the hps after vegging and it hates the hps light I plan on getting a hlg 260 for my tent hopefully after the new year

So today I fed them about a pint or so of water each PH 6.3 and also just moved so leaves out of the way with some wire I use I just bend a hook and just kind of move the big leaves out the way I have the light 32 inches or so away. The temp stays about 78 during the day and at night it don’t get any colder than 60. They are on a 18/6 light cycle. I was really thinking about doing 6/2 but I think I need to get a few solid grows under my belt 1st. I have some photos I had on 6/2 for a little bit and they were loving it. I would like to try the autos on a 6/2 for the first month and then switch them to 8/4 and see what happens using my hps lights.

Make sure it’s not a 60 watt light in reality. These LEDs mislead a lot of people the first time.

Thanks, life has gotten really busy recently. Haven’t been on as much, even had to work today. But I’m on 2 weeks of Vacation now so I should be on forum a little more often.

I thinks it’s actually 265w the LED light it actually works pretty well I think so far. My idea is to veg with it the first 30 days or so then try to move them in my tent to the hps for the flower stage. I customize the top of my tent to accommodate my air cooled fixture and it’s kinda a pain to switch bulbs so I leave the hps bulb in it. I have this auto GG I’m trying to get acclimated now. I’m opening the tent during the day and putting the GG just outside the tent so it gets a little bit of both lights for a week or so then try to put in the tent full time hopefully it works. Does anybody have any experience with anything like this? Here some pics so you can understand what I’m sayin.

Ok so I checked on my lady friends this morning and I noticed the pistols starting to pop up all over. Is this the start of flower? These are autos 1 mephesto and 1 ILGM Zkittles that sprouted up 11/26 so they’re 26 days today. I was under the impression that once you can see the plants sex that’s when flower stage begins. @Bulldognuts in your opinion should I start my 1st week of nutes with the open sesame? I’m trying to get everything I can out of these 2 girls

Give it a couple weeks for transition before flower nutes imo. Looking great!

Exactly what @Druiddescent said give it at least a few days. As long as you are not seeing any issues Open Sesame worked well for me when I was using it. You don’t want to burn them to bad when starting flower.

Hope you don’t mind party crashers! They look good to me. I’d like to see them under normal lighting though.

So here they are today looks like they really started booming like @Holmes was saying. I gave them each about a pint of water ph6.5. I decided not to give any nutes because I have them in happy frog and ocean forest in the bottom so I think I’m only going to use nutes if I see any signs I need them. Good idea???
