@Se7en Now if it was cheaper on electricity I would run all Autos on 18/6. I can control the room temps which controls the tent temps as I grow with my tent wide open. I am planning on a 2nd tent for only Autos and possible Indicas while the main tent will be for CBD and Sativas. Remember all living things need a rest period.
@Underthestairs In time you will. Its growing pains till you dial your system in. Mine is dialed in but I have 4 years behind me. My first plants was not the greatest and I almost gave up but the GSC I grew was a runt and I was going to toss it. My sister said you got this. She knows me better than anyone and I listened to her. Glad I did because that girl was a beast. It’s why I joined in the first place. You got this…
@MidwestGuy I only lifted half arse while a Senior in High School. Many body builders would kill to have my natural leg muscles. My calves are 24”. My thighs are 36”. My forearms is 14” or 15” and biceps and tricep is 16”. No one could do my weight. I was leg pressing 2500 lbs. The teacher had someone come from the University of Utah to scout me out. I am dead serious. As he told her this it the body you want for massive squats. My warm up was only 400 lbs. Like I said I never took it seriously. My Neurosurgeon struggled to cut into my 22” neck muscles. Tough skin she also said. Its a blessing and a curse.

I don’t do any of that. No need. I break every growing rule. No pH. No ppm. No runoff. 12/12 only…etc etc etc. I have always been great with any plants. I prefer to keep it simple. I just fed my plant because she is the 3rd plant in the same soil and those two I didn’t use nutrients at all.

How difference are yields with nutes and no nutes? Specifically flowering nutes? My flowering ones seem to have vanished so I may not have time to get any by the time they’re ready before I get paid again, so these first two autos may miss flower nutes altogether @MrPeat
This is the info on the soil I’m using, so I’m hoping adding in more nutrients may not even be necessary for these first two autos
Smoking it you can tell a difference. Now when it comes to trichomes production I didn’t see
a difference.
Top photo is with nutrients.
Above photo with no nutrients.
The one with no nutrients have been taste tested by 4 people. They all said it smoked in a joint that the green hit was like every puff. No funky taste. It tasted like it smelled. Even if it died out and had to be relight it still tasted like the green hit.
I just started nutrients because both 15 gallon fabric pots have been drained. Well the one still has some left but both have 3 grow cycles in each pot. I have a old bag of FFOF I am putting a 3rd fabric pot in so I will have 3 plants in a 4x4x80” tent.
I only use FFOF and FFHF so the soil you are using is outside my wheel house so no clue. I have seen it mentioned before.

Ahhh I get ya wicked stuff! I’ve always wondered what differences were between using them and not, some people say it comes with alot of problems, some say they have none

@Se7en It can cause problems no doubt. Example…
The plant will cannibalise the fan leaves. You can see it happening. Luckily she kept putting out new fan leaves which she got so big she snapped literally in half and that was with paracord jungle gym.

I get ya! Did it effect your harvest or anything to your knowledge? She does look like a monster lol!

@Se7en Nope it didn’t affect her in any way. I wanted to see what would happen. Each seed is unique so you just never know how she will grow. By the way she was a Auto.
I have done several successful grows with no nutrients. Taste is what was mainly influenced by no nutrients. All weed still tastes pretty much the same for me but my serious taste testers said they could tell. One wants me to grow for him as he sells. I said no. He was cool with it. I get mu concentrates through 2 of my taste testers.

Purps #1 is by Dinefem and its not in stock. Its a strong strain so its hard to find it. I wish I would have looked before I grew it. I would grow this strain on a regular basis. I would have forced it to create seeds.

I have an actual chart that shows optimal DLI for autos (and one for photos) during every week of growth. For some reason I can’t post any pics or downloaded files from my phone. Fresh update on my browser and still won’t work. As to why DLI and not PAR it’s because DLI takes into account the amount of time your lights are on. It just makes more sense to me, bit your mmv.
